Marc-William Palen's new book ''The "Conspiracy" of Free Trade: The Anglo-American Struggle over Empire and Economic Globalisation, 1846-1896'' is relevant not only to historians of imperialism, capitalism, and economics, but to the 2016 American presidential primary election. Once again, free trade has become a central campaign issue during a presidential election.

==[[Did the Battle of Fredericksburg Change the Identities of Irish Soldiers?]]==
+
{{#dpl:category= History of Science and Technology |ordermethod=firstedit|order=descending|count=8}}
During the American Civil War, the Battle of Fredericksburg was but one meeting ground of Irish immigrants from both the Union and Confederacy. Once fellow countrymen, these soldiers were forced to assume new perspectives on their identities amidst the chaos of war. The ability to consider themselves Irish immigrants vanished when they donned a blue or gray uniform.

==[[Why was the Construction of the Alaska Highway so important to American History?]]==
+
<div class="portal" style="font-size:90%">
The creation of the Alaskan Highway was a monumental and difficult task. A 1942 New York Time help wanted ad explained, “This is No Picnic. Working and living conditions on this job are as difficult as those encountered on any construction job ever done in the United States or foreign territory. Men hired for this job will be required to work and live under the most extreme conditions imaginable.

==[[Did multi-cultural societies become widely accepted in ancient history?]]==
+
<div class="portal" style="font-size:90%">
Multicultural societies are today common and ubiquitous, but when did such societies become not only normal or typical but accepted or even celebrated? Most likely, multi-cultural societies begin to evolve early in prehistory, as ethnic groups migrated to regions and integrated into existing societies. However, we rarely see multiculturalism celebrated until much later in historical periods when large states became the norm.
