... and patriotic feel. There were various strands of groups within the rebellion and the size and intensity was unmatched, compared to any previous attempts. The mercenary nature of the English East India Company's army had led to many unsatisfied and discontented soldiers decades before the revolt. There were mutinies by both the Madras army and Bengal army by 1815, and several others followed suit. In the 1850's, many soldiers from the Bengal army were alienated and lost some of their pay and prestige. There were rumors of gun cartridges being greased with animal fat from cows and pigs, which came as an insult to the integrity of the some of the soldiers. The Hind ...

... his life, and yet I feel we have been very good friends, he never gave me much advice or told me to do this or that, or not to.” Marie Pyle filled the role of family leader. She enjoyed tasks at hand: raising chickens and produce, caring for her family and serving the neighbors. Pyle describes her, “She thrived on action, she would rather milk than sew; rather plow than bake” (Tobin 6). Through school Pyle loved to write. During high school he was reporter, then editor, then editor in chief for his high school newspaper. When he graduated high school, he too was caught up in the “patriotic fever” of the nation upon America’s entry into WWI (Whitman 2). He e ...

... from Independence followed the same route as the Santa Fe Trail for some 40 miles, then traveled to the Platte and generally followed that river to the North Platte and then the South Platte. Crossing the South Platte, the main trail followed the North Platte to Fort Laramie, then to the present Casper, Wyo. and through the mountains by the South Pass to the Colorado River. The travelers then went to Fort Bridger, from which the Mormon Trail continued to the Great Salt Lake, while the went northwest across a divide to Fort Hall, on the Snake River. The California Trail branched off to the southwest, but the continued to Fort Boise. From that point the travelers ...

... national or minority groups are confined for reasons of state, security, exploitation, or punishment for imagined or accused crimes. With the onset of war in 1939, the need for laborers resulted in the creation of forced labor camps in which prisoners became virtual slaves. Jews were subdued to inhumane treatment, which resulted in death through illness, starvation, beatings, or execution. People imprisoned in death camps were used for the most work they could give and after that their lives were terminated, by gassing them and then burning their remains. The six most popular extermination camps were Chelmno, Belzec, Sobibor, Treblinka, Auschwitz, and Majdanek. ...

... the Western Press consistently carried numerous reports of the German’s anti-Jewish policies and their purposeful victimization of the Jews living in Nazi Germany as well as the annexed territories. The general public cannot claim that they did not know what was going on, that they were uninformed. Whether or not they chose to believe it however, is a completely different story. The public were indeed outraged in many of the cases but the governments of the major European democracies felt that it was not for them to intervene for they felt that the Jewish problem classified as an internal affair within a sovereign state. The truth behind this is simply t ...

... that had never been exposed to them previously. Crosby chalks this up as another way the Europeans decimated the population of the Amerindians, but neglected to mention that although the introduction of new viruses and diseases into a culture is devastating, it is an integral part of nature and cannot be avoided. There are many reasons that disease is a necessary part of an ecosystem. First, and most obvious, is the fact that it is one of nature’s natural checks. This means that nature, in an attempt to control population and insure a balanced ecosystem, constantly checks itself. Disease is an integral part of these checks, as it cuts down on the population of ...

... argued that freedom and democracy are not optional extras. Rather they form part of the conditions necessary for the growth of communism. What is socialism? How does one create a communist society? The answer lies in our conception of socialism. What is meant by 'socialism'? The classic definition is that of society run according to the dictum from each according to his/her ability, to each according to his/her needs. To anarchists, material equality is one dimension to socialism, but there is another of equal importance, that of freedom. The world has enough wealth to provide for all our material comforts. Socialism seeks to liberate peo ...

... rests with an absolute or omnipotent sovereign, while Locke, in his Treatise, provides for a government responsible to its citizenry with limitations on the ruler’s powers. The understanding of the state of nature is essential to both theorists’ discussions. For Hobbes, the state of nature is equivalent to a state of war. Locke’s description of the state of nature is more complex: initially the state of nature is one of “peace, goodwill, mutual assistance and preservation”. Transgressions against the law of nature, or reason which “teaches mankind that all being equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty and possessions, ...

... it was dominated by a German occupied ridge from the East to the South of Ypres. This was the only high ground in a flat, featureless plain and, if the British could only break out of the Ypres salient and take it, they could turn North and drive the Germans from the Belgian coast and capture the ports of Ostend and Zeebrugge from the enemy. The German position in Belgium would be outflanked and their industrial heartland in the Ruhr would be under threat. U-boats were operating out of Zeebrugge with great success and the Admiralty was increasingly gloomy about what would happen in the English Channel if the Belgium ports were not closed to the enemy. Pressure ...

The main points of the platform were that the believed that they should be able to choose their own destiny, that every man should be employed by the government to be able to support himself and his family, and that no black man should serve in any military branch. The refused to fight for a government that does not treat them as full citizens of the United States of America. This would reduce the military number of men drastically.
