Due to its massive nature the ship's draft was enormous, it stretched twenty-two feet to the bottom. The ship was so slow and long, that it required a turning radius of about one mile. Likened to a "floating barn roof (DesJardien 2)" and not predicted to float, the only individual willing to take command of the ship was Captain Franklin Buchanan. After all the ...

... at least not technically. They would be able to earn their own money now….. or would they? At least they would be given equality …. Wouldn’t they? The answer to these questions is simply no. The "reconstruction", the "new beginning", may all have been true. It was a "new beginning" wasn’t it? Yes, it was, but was it a good one? The answer to that question is no. A large cause for the civil war was to free the African-American slaves, to allow them to have equal rights to the white race.

... Lynch was a white slave owner who reporditely made a speech on the bands of the James River in 1712. According to Willie Lynch there was a foolproof method for controlling black slaves. He listed several differences among the slaves and created his own form of conditioning. He used fear, distrust and envy as his unconditioned stimulus to create a controlled response, which would lead to an obedient slave.

Just a few years before the Gulf of Tonkin incident, the CIA had failed miserably with their attempted invasion of the Bay of Pigs. The government’s need to lie can be summed up by Victor Zorza in his W ...

... limit theory. Simply stated the theory said slaves = cotton or slaves = tobacco. Slavery was thought to be undesirable in areas where it was not applicable, thus slavery would contain itself by economics. Although this theory was popular it proves to be fantasy. This method of thinking and the Northwest Ordinance started our young country down the dark road that would end in the War of the Rebellion. Extension of slavery next became an argument and hot topic at the Philadelphia Convention in the fall of 1787. The northern delegates “ detested the slave trade and wanted it to end” (pg. 187).
