... and forbidden to settle onto Indian land. Many more decisions were made in England for the people of America without their opinions. Thereafter, the Sugar Act, the Stamp Act, and the Townshend Duties were set and intended to help finance and sustain the British troops in America.

The European Union has its own flag, anthem and it celebrates the Europe Day on the 9th of May.

to socialism. The class struggle of the future would be between
the bourgeoisie, who were the capitalist employers, and the
proletariat, who were the workers. The struggle would end,
according to Marx, in the socialist revolution and the
attainment of full communism (Groilers Encyclopedia).
Socialism, of which Marxism-Leninism is a takeoff,
originated in the West. Designed in France and Germany, it was

His failure to Capture Stalingrad, 1942 - 1943, was the turning point; unable to cope with defeat, he refused to recognize it or negotiate for peace.

... ever growing slavery issue into violence, culminating ultimately into the American Civil War. It effectively brought many abolitionists and anti-slavery proponents, particularly in the North, "over the edge". BACKGROUND Dred Scott was a slave born in Virginia who early in life moved with his owner to St. Louis, Missouri. At this time, due to the Missouri Compromise of 1820, Missouri was added as a slave state, but no state may allow slavery if that state falls above the 36 degree 30 minute latitudinal line.

the idea of "Manifest Destiny." Manifest Destiny was the belief that the
United States had the right to expand westward to the Pacific ocean. On the
other hand, Mexico was a new country wanting to protect itself from outside
powers. Evidence of U.S. expansion is seen with the independence of Texas
