- American Protestant fundamentalism, 1875-1940: Its evolution-birth, maturity, near-death, and reincarnation.
- Creator
- Schilling, Alvin John., Florida Atlantic University, Rose, Mark H.
- Abstract/Description
-
What began as an intra-church religious struggle by conservative evangelicals to defend the inerrancy of the Bible and the establishment of prophetic doctrines, after initial great success, expanded into secular culture and confrontations with liberalism in many of its forms, such as the teaching of evolution in public schools and the use of alcohol in society. Fundamentalists, however, could not compete with the intellectual persuasiveness and political power of either prominent liberal...
Show moreWhat began as an intra-church religious struggle by conservative evangelicals to defend the inerrancy of the Bible and the establishment of prophetic doctrines, after initial great success, expanded into secular culture and confrontations with liberalism in many of its forms, such as the teaching of evolution in public schools and the use of alcohol in society. Fundamentalists, however, could not compete with the intellectual persuasiveness and political power of either prominent liberal theologians, or the secular advocates of modernism. As an act of survival, fundamentalists terminated their confrontations with secular liberalism and withdrew from mainstream Protestant denominations. They organized strong independent churches and, more importantly, established numerous colleges, seminaries, and publishing houses, in order to insure that their conservative message would continue to be instilled in the hearts and minds of the American public, especially the young.

- The maturation of professional football, 1920-1940.

- Abstract/Description

Professional football has not always experienced the popularity and fan devotion it enjoys today. Formed in 1920, the National Football League began as a weak organization designed to bring stability to the teams. Initially played by steelworkers and miners looking for a diversion and perhaps a little pay, team owners recruited star college players for their talent and appeal. League officials worked at developing the league into a strong organization by utilizing the successful model of...
Show moreProfessional football has not always experienced the popularity and fan devotion it enjoys today. Formed in 1920, the National Football League began as a weak organization designed to bring stability to the teams. Initially played by steelworkers and miners looking for a diversion and perhaps a little pay, team owners recruited star college players for their talent and appeal. League officials worked at developing the league into a strong organization by utilizing the successful model of baseball, and in establishing the league as a cartel. By 1940, league officials controlled where and when the game would be played and created popular interest, establishing the sport as a success.

- The origins of Everglades drainage in the Progressive Era: Local, state and federal cooperation and conflict.

Show moreDuring the Progressive Era, technical experts--state and independent engineers, United States Department of Agriculture scientists, and United States engineers increasingly influenced drainage and reclamation policy in central and southern Florida. Engineers agreed with the general method of drainage but at times disagreed over engineering specifics. The federal, state and local govemments were aware of the benefits associated with internal improvements, at the same time, however, they frequently fought over their control. Between the mid-nineteenth century and the early 1900s, drainage engineering knowledge and technology increased along with the role of the engineers. As a result, Florida's Progressive Governor Napoleon Bonaparte Broward began a state-financed and state-managed effort to drain and reclaim the Everglades in 1905. The role of the state engineer, however, differed from the expert described by historian Robert H. Wiebe, in that the engineer was not an independent policy-maker. The state engineer was always subordinate to the Florida Legislature and the Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Fund, including the Governor of Florida.

- The policies, politics, and other activities of President Richard M. Nixon to influence American young people.

- Veenstra, David Wayne., Florida Atlantic University, Rose, Mark H.
- Abstract/Description

Throughout his presidency, Nixon enacted several policies on behalf of young people, such as draft reform, enfranchisement for persons aged 18--20, employment plans, school desegregation, and a variety of forums for them to voice their opinion in government. Young people had attained an important political voice as their demonstrations frequently illustrated.

Show moreThroughout his presidency, Nixon enacted several policies on behalf of young people, such as draft reform, enfranchisement for persons aged 18--20, employment plans, school desegregation, and a variety of forums for them to voice their opinion in government. Young people had attained an important political voice as their demonstrations frequently illustrated. Nixon reacted to their concerns, and, with his initiatives, undercut the legitimacy of street protests as an acceptable means to influence government. His policies, however, were often coupled with negative actions, including angry rhetoric and clandestine operations toward the antiwar movement and cynical statements about young people in private conversations. All of these activities created a mixed legacy of lasting policy advances and negative politics. Nixon continued to influence young people in a complex and contradictory manner throughout the remainder of his life in both revealing discussions he held with them and by hindering access to his presidential materials.

The frontier mentality of the early generations of pioneers carried over to later developers and politicians, and led to a vision of empty land as unlimited economic opportunity The assumption of regulatory control of the insurance industry by state government allowed the...
Show moreHurricane Andrew, in 1992, represented a watershed event in illuminating the financial consequences of Florida's business and political leaders decisions fostering population and economic growth without planning or control. The frontier mentality of the early generations of pioneers carried over to later developers and politicians, and led to a vision of empty land as unlimited economic opportunity The assumption of regulatory control of the insurance industry by state government allowed the completion of the emerging national housing policies for fully securing mortgages These policies essentially made property insurance mandatory. The retention of the cartel operation of the insurance industry led to an inequitable relationship between industry and regulators. Assertive political decisions created this crisis.

- Magical Transformation or Illusion of Grandeur: The Development of Downtown West Palm Beach, 1985-2015.

- Abstract/Description

From 1985 to 2015, local politicians like Kenneth G. Spillias, Jan Winters, and Nancy M. Graham reshaped downtown West Palm Beach. They promised to eliminate urban blight, and turned a crime-ridden area of the city into an upper-middle class entertainment zone frequented by wealthy pleasure-seekers from throughout Palm Beach County. However, much of this transformation was an illusion. These politicians eliminated local taxpayers from the decision-making process by circumventing their votes,...
Show moreFrom 1985 to 2015, local politicians like Kenneth G. Spillias, Jan Winters, and Nancy M. Graham reshaped downtown West Palm Beach. They promised to eliminate urban blight, and turned a crime-ridden area of the city into an upper-middle class entertainment zone frequented by wealthy pleasure-seekers from throughout Palm Beach County. However, much of this transformation was an illusion. These politicians eliminated local taxpayers from the decision-making process by circumventing their votes, but subsequently taxed them to pay for the improvements. Furthermore, blight was not eliminated downtown, merely relocated to areas surrounding the entertainment zone. This resulted in ongoing tension between the mostly white patrons and business owners in the redeveloped area, and the primarily black residents in the dilapidated neighborhoods surrounding this development.
