29.579 American Revolution and Intergroup Conflict Theory.
The purpose of this paper is to examine the roles played by Intergroup Conflict Theories in the American Revolution at various stages of its development, and how they can help to explain the colonist's motivation to join the cause. The theories to be discussed include Freud's Frustration-Aggression Theory, as well as Relative Deprivation Theory and Resource Mobilization Theory. In the course of any study on any revolutionary war, the question of why individuals choose to join a revolutionary group is a key question. The question provides conversational fodder for psychologists, political scientists, economists and sociologists alike. In this examination we will focus on three Intergroup Conflict Theories, to delve into the question from a psychological point of view. The first theory to be touched upon is Freud's Frustration-Aggression Theory.

30.16228 A Political Analysis of the Life of Aaron Burr
This paper will analyze the doomed relationship between Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, and the notorious Aaron Burr. By researching the events that would lead to Burr's exile by the murder of Hamilton, we can see how passion to an extreme caused the egomaniacal Burr to seek his own lust for power in the Burr Conspiracy. By planning to annex the Lousisiana Territory and what is now Mexico for his own government, we can see how he was destined to fall to the greater and more rational powers in the United States government.

31.16234 George Washington: A Biographical Analysis of Military and Anti-Slavery Issues
This paper will seek to understand the American military leader George Washington. By his example of courageous action on the battlefield, as well as his brilliant strategies and strategems to foil the British, we can learn how he won a war against incredible odds. Also, beneath this veneer of military might, he could be extremely sensitive to the plight of slaves, as he secretly sought to abolish slavery when it would most certainly not have done the economy well in a new United States. By exploring these avenues of the military and ethical, we can learn of the incredible mind of a great leader.

33.20804 Hollywood & Historic Validity: Mel Gibson?s Film ?The Patriot? & The Revolutionary War
The Mel Gibson movie, "The Patriot" attempts to depict events surrounding the American Revolutionary War. Although it does succeed in properly portraying the locations, costumes, and knowledge of the period, it fails on many levels. It does not fairly portray both sides of the conflict and glosses over many key factors, which lead to the conflict. Few of the British government's regulatory/political actions are fully explained and the viewer is erroneously left with the impression that the war was a battle for American family values.
