... the replica that I have viewed is in the Sojourner Truth Library on SUNY New Paltz campus. The sculpture of was a very interesting work of art to look at and analyze. I have viewed this sculpture by means of slides on a flat surface, but after seeing the actual sculpture, I was amazed. When I first approached it, its size was shocking.

... creating a collaboration of history termed "transnational": the evolution of specific "themes" of history common to each country studied. In light of Lipset's and Tyrrell's arguments, it is necessary to note that while both positions are authoritatively convincing, each does entertain specific inconsistencies. This thereby entices a further opinion regarding exceptionalism in America to emerge that encompasses both sides. The definition of American exceptionalism is as ill defined as the philosophy itself, stemming from centuries of writings that convey more of an overtone than a tangible explication. Yet, L ...
