Schindler’s List
... with the Jews and the Nazi Army. Reality struck him when his workers were being taken away from his ghettos and placed in concentration camps.
Jews, who worked for free were his main source of labor. Actually, what the Jews are getting in return is even more valuable than money. Freedom. He is freeing them from being destroyed. Once Schindler recognizes this tragedy, he puts his on life in danger to save all of the Jews that he can. He is so generous that people ask him to let people work in the factory so they will live.

... and Alberti, paintings were able to carry better-recognized religious ideas because the paintings became more transparent and more vivid in detail. Lastly, artists in the high Renaissance such as Da Vinci, Michaelangelo, Titian, and Raphael developed paintings in the narrative style that demonstrated the “body in a more scientific and natural manner,” thus demonstrating the various aspects of every day life.

The American Civil War
... to the South. General Grant
became known as the "Butcher" (Grant, Ulysses S., Personal Memoirs of U.S.
Grant, New York: Charles L. Webster & Co.,1894) and many wanted to see him
removed. But Lincoln stood firm with his General, and the war continued.
This paper will follow the happenings and events between the winter of
1864-65 and the surrender of The Confederate States of America. All of
this will most certainly illustrate that April 9, 1865 was indeed the end
of a tragedy.
II. CUTTING OFF THE SOUTH
In September of 1864, General William T. Sherman and his army
cleared the city of Atlanta of its civilian population then rested ever so
briefly. It was ...

More About The 1968 Tet Offensive
... of the 1968 Tet Offensive. It said that the North
Vietnamese Army supreme command had imitated one of the greatest heroes of
Vietnam, King Quang Trung, who won the most spectacular victory over the
Chinese aggressors in the 1789 counter-attack - in planning the 1968
operations.
The book quoted King Quang Trung's tactic of surprise. He let the troops
celebrate the 1789 Tet Festival one day ahead so that he could launch the
attacks on the first three days of the lunar new year while the Chinese
troops were still feasting and not ready to organize their defense.
Those who claimed the similarity between the two campaigns certainly did
not know the whole truth, but ju ...

U.S Involvement In The Vietnam War
... rather than to bring a quick and decisive end to the conflict. This
can be seen in the selective bombing of Hanoi throughout the course of the
Vietnam War. Politically this strategy looked very good. However,
militarily it was ludicrous. War is the one arena in which politicians
have no place. War is the military's sole purpose. Therefore, the U. S.
Military should be allowed to conduct any war, conflict, or police action
that it has been committed to without political interference or control
because of the problems and hidden interests which are always present when
dealing with polit

... famous
people who was an African American sailor, Samuel Gray, a worker at rope
walk, James Caldwell, a mate on a American ship, Samuel Maverick, who was a
young seventeen year old male, and Patrick Carr, a feather maker.
The purpose of the Boston Massacre was to try to make liberal and
moderate people become radicals. It was really an accident and the radicals
tried to use propaganda and turn something small into something big. The
British soldiers were accused of Murder and manslaughter. To represent them
was John Adams, a relative of Samuel Adams. Adams wanted the trial to get
over and didn't want the truth to come out. The Boston Massacre and

The frustration he felt must ha been a real burden. Most people were afraid of him. Even the man who finally represented him was afraid of him. He soon came to understand Andy was no threat to his health or his reputation, but someone he learned from and ended up becoming friends.
Andy himself feared his disease even before he was sure he had it. He did not want to go for his blood test. He didn't want to face the reality of having Aids. He really didn't have any choice. After the doctor confirmed his fears a ...

Conflicts Of Opinions In The Government
... the government, not the common people. Hamilton favored manufacturing, shipping, and trade for the backbone of the economy. The Federalist’s also favored a loose, general interpretation of the United States constitution. The Federalist’s also favored tariffs to protect good manufactured in the United States.
In contrast, Thomas Jefferson’s political views favored the common person. Jefferson believed that farmers were the most valuable citizens. His followers called themselves the Democratic Republicans. “Cultivators of the earth,” Jefferson wrote, “are the most valuable citizens.” This belief could be due to the fact that he was a farmer himself.
