... people about going to war. Although he preached equality, women and blacks who were both vital in the war, still did not have the same rights that the constitution guaranteed. Immigrants who went to America were treated unfairly as the enemy. The Immigrants were treated as spies and were ridiculed by the American government, and the American people. The immigrants rights were violated, because we were at war. Opponents of the war were equally criticized and were called traitors. War in reality showed that America was really a divided nation, still young, and making mistakes. World War I showed the separation of the rich, and the lower class. The rich just got ric ...

... as a motto for Renaissance art. Michelangelo's David clearly supports Mirandola's statement. Since Renaissance art focused on representing tangible, human figures, rather than depicting scenes from the Bible in order to praise God, the artists had to think in more natural, scientific terms. Artists became familiar with mathematics and the concept of space, as well as anatomy. Lorenzo Ghiberti studied the anatomical proportions of the body, Filippo Brunelleschi was interested in mathematics in architecture, Leone Battista Alberti, who was skilled in painting, sculpture and architecture, stressed the study of mathematics as the underlying prin ...

... other nations were as well effected by it. The civil war was a conflict over way of life. The Southern states depended upon the agriculture of the slaves, including cotton production . When Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860, his opposition of slavery was seen as a threat to the economic interests of the Southern states. The South responded by seceding from the union and founding the Confederate States of America in 1861. The first state to secede was South Carolina, on December 20, 1860. Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, and Louisiana followed in January, 1861. Texas then also separated on February 1st. Three days later on February 4th, 1861 ...

... of the nation’s hard-earned independence. This new fight for independence required that both North and South America completely break their ties with all European nations. This was a struggle since so many foreign powers were trying to have some sort of control in the Western Hemisphere. Spain was planning on reconquering its empire in the colonies, and Russia was attempting to colonize in the northwest corner of the North America. As result England wanted to join in an alliance with the United States in return for British aid in protecting the hemisphere from foreign colonization. However, the United States decided it wanted to maintain its independence ...

... in blankets. is more powerful than any other god or even all the other gods combined. But, unlike many gods in other religions he was neither omnipotent nor omniscient. In other words, he wasn't all-powerful or all seeing. He could be, and in fact was, opposed, deceived and tricked by gods and men alike.

... way of thinking to rid the U.S. of all alcohol. With the loss of money and relative inefficiency associated with prohibition, the government needs to amend the eighteenth amendment so not to succumb to the values of the religious sects behind the prohibition movement. Since Congress ratified the eighteenth amendment as least one billion dollars a year is lost to the National Government in excise taxes. Part of this money, once intended for the government to spend on schools and roads, now falls into the hands of bootleggers, who are illegally smuggling alcohol into the U.S. The remainding funds are given in forms of bribes to local officials so they can look the ot ...

... were denied. In 1848, married women in most states legally dead in the eyes of the law. They did not have the right to their own property, to their earnings, or to their children. They could not testify against their husbands in court. The double standard of morality required women to remain pure until married and then faithful to their husbands, while male indescretions were condoned (Rynder 20). Before marriage, women could own property, but they were taxed without being able to vote. In the few occupations open to women, they were paid far less than men were. No liberal arts college but Oberlin would admit women. Professions other that writing and scho ...

... by their orderly arrangement and uniform. Much of their platform was comprised of the same goals many civil rights activists and organizations sought during the 1960’s. Each organization and activist had his/her own ideology concerning the correct measures necessary in order to ensure equality for African Americans. Some organizations adhered to strictly peaceful protests while others, such as the Panthers pictured above, favored peaceful means of achieving equality unless violence was necessary for defense. The lists of courageous men and women who struggled for equality can be quite long. However, it is obvious that the picture of the Panthers lack the presen ...

... quality. The walls of Romanesque cathedrals were built very thickly, so as not to be destroyed by invaders. Gothic, on the other hand, had thinner walls and worked towards a more artistic approach. Gothic cathedrals have many more buttresses than Romanesque cathedrals. Gothic cathedrals were also designed with statues and sculptures on them such as the gargoyle, which also served as a rain spout. Romanesque cathedrals had few windows, as the walls of the cathedrals were very thick and made the placement of windows extremely difficult. This lack of light seemed also to project ...
