Causes Of The American Civil War
... South disagreed on and that persuaded them to succeed from the Union. Basically the North favored a loose interpretation of the United States Constitution. They wanted to grant the federal government increased powers. The South wanted to reserve all undefined powers to the individual states. The North also wanted internal improvements sponsored by the federal government. This was more roads, railroads, and canals. The South, on the other hand, did not want these projects to be done at all. Also the North wanted to develop a tariff. With a high tariff, it protected the Northern manufacturer. It was bad for the South because a high tariff would not let the sou ...

The Disadvantages And Advantages Of The War Of Independence
... they didn’t know what they were getting into until they got there. Although this sounds like a lot of strikes against the British it was nothing compared to the Americans.
The Americans had a lot of faults to overcome. Their army was unorganized and poorly trained. They had no funding or support from an organized government. They had no supplies only the ones they owned or stole from the British. Not everybody was on their side there were people in the colonies that were loyal to the British they were called the “Tories”. The Americans had a lot of setbacks and it seemed the British had every thing going for them.
The British had the undoubtedly larger opportun ...

John F. Kennedy And Cuba
... Edgar Hoover's FBI), Rednecks and Oilmen (Right-wing Extremists), and the MIC (Military Industrial Complex). Each group had its own motives for killing John F. Kennedy. Many of these groups that wanted JFK dead are very closely intertwined, so in order to understand each group, they will each be analyzed seperately.
In order to better understand the relationship between JFK, the Cubans and Russians, several important events must be mentioned and discussed. Two of the most important foreign affairs in Kennedy's presidency were the Bay of Pigs and the Cuban Missile Crisis.
During Eisenhower's administration, Cuba was torn apart by revolution. The Cuban dictator, Bat ...

The John F. Kennedy Assasination Conspiracy
... after one reads the countless articles and volumes on the investigation, can hardly be disputed. In this paper I will attempt to point out the inconsistencies in the Warren Commission Report, as well as summarizing several of the most widely accepted and controversial theories of conspiracy in the assassination.
On September 27, 1964, The Warren Commission released a report consisting of 888 pages which stated that the committee had come to the conclusion that Lee Harvey Oswald had acted alone as the sole assassin of President Kennedy. Of course, there was no actual trial because Oswald had been shot while in police custody on November 24 by Jack Ruby. Ruby claim ...

The History Of Slave Labor
... colony short of labor, the Virginia legislature made terms of service as attractive as possible. (Vaughan, 141) But as the economy began to thrive once again back in England, more people were resistant about traveling to the New World as a servant rather than an investor in the "tobacco game." Because white labor inevitably became inadequate due to its transient nature, and the costs of indentured servitude began to rise, planters turned their eyes toward the cheaper and indefinite service of black laborers. Although it may have not been as socially desirable, African s figured into this "problem" in that they represented skilled labor and were a proficient in t ...

F.D.R. And The Work Reform Programs
... Works Administration, (PWA.) The PWA created jobs for workers so that they could feed their families. It set up jobs such as: building roads, or fixing up road signs. This program increased employment and business activity.
Another program to be set up in 1933 was the Federal Emergency Relief Act, (FERA.) This program was much different from the PWA because it didn’t create jobs it was more of a hand out. The federal government gave each state money to help their own state. The head of the state could do with the money as they pleased. When FERA went into play, the states set up their own program. They called it the Civil Works Act, (CWA.) This program told ...

The Industrial Revolution
... and
simple, provided that the product being created was always required by
someone else. However, the invention of Machinery and all of its
accompanying peripherals allowed producers to start manufacturing on a mass
scale. With factories placed in central locations of the townships (known
as centralization), the previous system was dismantled and categorized into
steps. No longer would one person be required to build, market or transport
their product since the new system introduced the art of specialization.
Specialization allowed a person to perform a single task and guarantee them
wages as a source of income. However, as wonderful as this might seem, this
new s ...

Fort Pillow Attack
... in the battle before any
judgment can be made. A careful study performed by Dr. John Wyeth revealed
the following information: from April 9-11, 1864, troops under the
command of Ben McCulloch, Tyree Harris Bell, and Brig. General James
Chalmers marched non-stop to Fort Pillow to begin their assault under the
command of General Nathan Bedford Forrest. Confederate sharpshooters
claimed the lives of several key Union officers during the morning assault
on the fort. The losses included the commanding officer Major Loinel F.
Booth, and his second in command shortly after that. These losses created
a complete breakdown of order and leadership among the Union troo ...

The Artist And The Art
... preserved as efficiently as possible. This is due to the fact that they believed the spirit, or ka, would return to the body in which it came from, from time to time. In preserving the body, they had to remove the internal organs so that they wouldn’t deteriorate inside the body. This is where art influenced by beliefs can be seen. The four ‘Canopic Jars’, which are considered art, were reserved for the function of holding the internal organs. They date back to 1070 to 712 BC. Each jar represented a different species. They were a human, baboon, falcon and jackal. They were also known as the ‘Four Sons of Horus’ . This is an example of beliefs influencing art, howev ...
