Purpose:
Chronological biographies of key
figures flesh out the genealogies and provide a better
understanding of the rise (and in some cases fall)
of political leaders. They contribute interesting
information about the general political climate of
the times and how greater and lesser issues were shaped.
In aggregate, they demonstrate how the accomplishments
of the most renowned American politicians and even
military, economic, and social leaders were built
on the previous experiences of forbearers and supported
by the circumstances and positions of families, friends,
and political allies. Rare is the leader who rose
solely by his or her own lights to the highest political
strata.
Basic Structure:
At top of the page, the person’s
name and dates of birth are given as well as in most
cases a picture. A link is provided to return to the
genealogy. Thereafter, facts about the person’s
life and career are listed in chronological order,
date first. For the most part, partial sentences are
used rather than flowing narrative to convey basic
information and keep out conjecture.
No Copyright:
To the knowledge of CLP Research,
pictures not created originally by CLP Research have
no copyright but have been altered when necessary
to fit the page. CLP Research claims no copyright
on the written content of the chronological biographies.
