Answer:
Edmund Burke spent the bulk of his maturity dealing with political affairs, and his political thought reflects this experience. Indeed, Burke’s emphasis on the importance of tradition and history, along with his questions about the harmful effect of purely theoretical standpoints in politics has led some to dismiss him as unphilosophical. In fact, as we will see, Burke’s writings engages seriously with the great themes of political philosophy, although almost always in the context of particular questions of policy and choice. As a young man, moreover, he wrote an important work on the origin and meaning of beauty.
Burke’s writings have also had an important practical effect. His thoughtful opposition to the extremes of the French Revolution has made his Reflections on the Revolution in France a perennial source for understanding that event. His discussion of political parties in Thoughts on the Cause of the Present Discontents is a basic source for understanding the meaning of modern party government. And his work was one source of the postwar American conservatism that resulted in the election of Ronald Reagan.

“American Society for the Promotion of Temperance" is an example of the second Great Awakening's influence on society, since it was mainly against drinking distilled and alcoholic drinks.
If I were able to transport myself back in time to the 1700's, I would be in big trouble. Reason being, because I am African-American I would be a slave. Fortunately, I wouldn't be picking cotton, because of my skin tone, but I would most likely work in the kitchen, or in the house. So life would definitely change for me, but not for better. I wouldn't be able to choose what I wore, what I said, who my master was, or who I married. Not to mention I definitely wouldn't be able to decide to keep my children. They would be sold off as slaves, at a very young age. For these numerous reasons, I choose to stay in the 21st century.
