The historical context of the times in which an event happened will help the historian to understand motives that may have influenced people's actions, as well as relationships between ideas and events occurring within a cultural time and space.  Historical contexts of events in the past differ from conditions in our present context, so it is important to interpret according to context then rather than according to conditions now.

Claude Bélanger, professor of history at Marianopolis College in Canada, explains that historical context "is understood as the events, or the climate of opinion, that surround the issue at hand. They help to understand its urgency, its importance, its shape, or even its timing."  Historical context includes social, political, economic, intellectual, cultural and religious trends that existed when and where the event you're studying occurred.  The historian will want to assess things according to context that existed at that time, rather than judging the past according to context or standards that are in place in our own time, in order to be fair to the persons of that era.

In at least one hundred words, describe three or more reminisces used by Addams in Chapter 2 of Twenty Years at Hull House" and
nadya68 [22]
In Twenty Years at Hull-House, Jane Addams tells of the poverty and abuses that existed during the Industrial Revolution in the United States. The book includes eighteen chapters, illustrations, an index, and photographs. Addams begins with some personal background. She was a sickly child, and she was greatly influenced by her wealthy father, a strong admirer and supporter of Abraham Lincoln. Addams attended all-female Rockford College and left there determined to study medicine and help the poor. Her ill health returned, however, and she was unable to complete her medical studies. Her desire to help the poor remained. She spent several years traveling in the United States and Europe, where she was introduced to poverty and suffering in many places. She lived for a time in London, among the needy and suffering.
Upon her return to the United States, she and Ellen Starr founded Hull-House in the slums of Chicago in January, 1889. The search for the perfect location was lengthy, and Hull-House was named for the original owner of the large home.
The rest of the book details the activities of Addams and the people who inhabited and relied upon Hull-House. Addams was an active lecturer, and there are many quotes from her writings and lectures in the book. She concentrated not on the day-to-day running of Hull-House but on the larger issues of the times. Hull-House founded a kindergarten and day nursery.

American revolution, french revolution, and glorious revolution similarities
agasfer [191]

Answer:

The Glorious Revolution, the American Revolution, and the French Revolution were all rebellions against monarchs. The Revolution commenced as the the lower class of France despised the government who did nothing for them. The Glorious Revolution began similarly as they both wished to overthrow the king, but in this case, the Parliament was the main victim rather than the people. The American Revolution did lead to a democratic government, while the French revolution implemented many elements of democracy, such as universal civil and political rights.  Like the American Revolution, the Glorious Revolution involved substantial intervention by a foreign power: In the Glorious Revolution it was the Dutch, who sort of quietly invaded England, while in the American Revolution it was France which supported the American colonists.
