I find Charles Lewis to have a valid point by saying that this country is in fact very militant. The reason why I think he says we don 't want to associate ourselves with wanting to be militant is because of all of the horrible things that can happen during war. When watching why do we fight every president has always gone into another country and tried to do it so that it was as if they did something to up hold America 's freedom. America likes to police the world and most Americans agree with it, this makes them feel safe. I think the real truth though in this statement is that fighting as a nation is in our best interest and we all should support anything our country
I think Lee Harvey Oswald was involved in a larger conspiracy. I Think this because there were multiple shooters and I don't think it was just him. Oswald might have been pushed to do it by the government or like the Russian government because J.F.K knew something and didn't want j.fk to tell. What I mean by pushed is he was forced like getting a bribe or getting threatened.

Murdering McKinley After reading Eric Rauchway’s novel Murdering McKinley, I believe that his main argument was to say that President McKinley’s assassinator, Leon Czolgosz, was not insane and that his possible insanity could not have been what drove him to attempt the assassination. Had Czolgosz been declared insane in a court of law then he may not have been held fully responsible for his actions. That being said Rauchway also went to a great length to prove that Czolgosz sentence was not due to his Anarchist beliefs and he did describe everyone’s fear of Czolgosz going down as a martyr.
Meriwether Lewis was an American explorer, the governor of Louisiana, and a leader of the Lewis & Clark expedition of which he traveled throughout the new Louisiana territory to discover more about this land and achieve goals for the new land. He was traveling to D.C. to deliver “Jefferson classified information.” But, it ended up that on this trip, Meriwether Lewis had died. Meriwether Lewis was murdered by conspiracy. Let’s start with the physical evidence.
Meriwether Lewis was the leader of the Lewis and Clark Expedition that was commissioned by President Jefferson to explore the Louisiana Territory. He came back from this trip with new knowledge of the Louisiana Territory proving that the Louisiana Purchase benefitted the whole country. This made him a hero and further strengthened his friendship with Jefferson. Jefferson later appointed Lewis as the governor of the whole Louisiana Territory. The governorship was significant not only because of the title, but because his rival, James Wilkinson, was turned down for the job because of Lewis.
Up until now, historians haven’t been able to deduce Meriwether Lewis’ death. Lewis’ closest friends – Thomas Jefferson and William Clark – dismissed his death as a suicide, but some historical accounts claim that Lewis’ death could possibly be more than just a suicide. Meriwether Lewis (1774 – 1809) was an American Explorer, soldier, and politician who was famed for leading the Lewis and Clark Expedition (also sometimes referred to as the Corps of Discovery Expedition) along with his companion, William Clark. Lewis grew up in Albermarle County, Virginia (present day Ivy, Virginia) on August 1874, and was the second child and first son of William and Lucy Meriwether Lewis. Meriwether Lewis was also a trusted friend of President Thomas Jefferson
