During the trial, Captain Thomas Preston offered his account of the massacre. Captain Preston recalls the commotion outside of the Customs House. He says that there were unlawful threats being said to the British officers. He also says that some colonists brought clubs and other weapons, to be used to execute British officers. The officer felt that the colonists were indeed going to kill him, and so Captain Thomas Preston supposedly gave orders to the eight other officers to open fire into the crowd.
Life in the spring of 1838 was not pleasant for Atsadi and his family living in North Carolina with his small Cherokee tribe. It was a time of hardship and sadness,for his family as well as the rest of his Cherokee tribe were being forced to emigrate from their home in North Carolina to Indian reserves in Oklahoma on order of President Andrew Jackson. It started with president Andrew Jackson signing the Indian Removal Act In 1830 which gave the Federal Government power to exchange land the Natives own in the cotton kingdom east of the Mississippi for land west of the Mississippi. There was a law created saying that the government had to negotiate the removal treaties fairly and peacefully, meaning it did not allow the President or anyone else
However, in the engraving they are depicted as gentlemen, shown by the hats they are wearing, and thus elevating their status and effecting the way other colonists perceived the colonists in the mob. In the rear of the crowd, a woman can be seen, especially very clearly in Wheeler’s pg. 98 blown up picture of the engraving. She appears very distressed, which would have affected the emotions of 18th century colonists who would have cared very much about a woman being in this type of horrid scene. There is also no clear depiction of Crispus Attackus, a mulatto man that died at the Boston Massacre.
Chris McCandless was in his early 20’s, he was the kind of that guy that wanted to learn and experience life without all of the material things. He wanted to be independent from his parents and friends so Chris did something that would be insane for most of us humans but to him, it wasn’t. He went into the wild of Alaska for months, in fact, McCandless even thought he could make it out alive at the end of his journey. As a matter of fact, he was known as being a risk taker and enjoyed being out and about in the nature side of the world. Many would believe that Chris McCandless went into the wild to purposely kill himself; however, I myself believe that McCandless did not do it purposely.
In the essay, “E-Prime: The True, the Beautiful, the Devine,” Ron W. Wheeler convincingly conveys that, “Judiciously controlling the use of English Prime offers communicators an efficient and effective tool for revision to powerfully express the actual, the artistic, and the eternal.” Writing in E-Prime involves the removal of am, is, are, was, were, be, being, and been, also known as “to be” verbs, from written and oral communication. Thus, argued by Wheeler, creating overall stronger communication. Five literary contexts provide the opportunity for “to be” verbs to occur.
On January 1, 1834, Douglass is sent to live with Mr. Freeland. Douglass is grateful that Mr. Freeland is not a hypocritically religious man. Many men in the community profess to be religious, but merely use their religion as justification for their cruelty to their slaves. Douglass succeeded in getting some of his fellow slaves interested in learning how to read. This is a dangerous risk, since educating slaves is forbidden.
In today’s society, we have former National Football League(NFL) quarterback Collin Kapernick who’s no longer in the NFL because of his protest against racial inequality. However, many people believe he is no longer in the NFL because of his talent. Kapernick led the 49ers to Super Bowl 47. Although they didn’t win, he threw for 302 yards with a touchdown and rushed for 62 yards. Therefore, he didn’t get kicked out of the league because he wasn’t good enough, but for sitting down during the national anthem.

I would agree with James Madison because he was trying to help the people. He knew men where not angels at all and if they just behaved then they wouldn't need a government. See the government put down policy's when there is a problem going on. The reason why he wants a stronger government because there is more problems. If things where really that bad i would agree with that because it will never get better if they have strong policy's.
In truth, what was at stake was not really the monarchic principle; what was at stake, and what the debate must have dealt with, was a dynastic problem. In the absence of a direct heir, who should be chosen? This was the only real question. Otanes took himself out of the competition, and the other six nobles decided to let fate make the decision: “They proposed to mount their horses on the outskirts of the city, and he whose horse neighed first after the sun was up should have the throne.” Then Herodotus gives the details of the ruse concocted by Oebares, Darius’s groom, that led his master to be recognized as king.

Marcus Schimmelfennig – Euthyphro Essay – Philosophy 150 The argument Euthyphro and Socrates go about talking about is a murder case Euthyphro is about to be a part of. Euthyphro is prosecuting a man who is being prosecuted for murdering a murderer. It begins as such, the man murdered was caught in a murder and the second murderer tied him up and threw him in a ditch, but forgot about him so the first murderer died of hunger and the cold weather. The second murderer was Euthyphro’s very own father so, with this in mind, he is having trouble determining if he should prosecute his father to be guilty or not guilty for the action he committed was indefinitely an illegal act, but, I this time period of the case, the murderer would have been facing a death sentence in the end anyways if he would have been caught by an authority.
It took just forty five days for United States citizens to acquiesce their rights to freedom and privacy for the sake of safety following the events of September 11, 2001. Forty five days is how long it took the United States Congress to pass a law that gave up the very concept of liberty upon which this country is founded. The morning sky was a brilliant shade of blue with not a cloud in sight in New York on that fateful day of September. That all changed at 8:45 AM when a Boeing 767 jet plane tore into the north tower of the World Trade Center. Eighteen minutes later, a second Boeing 767 bit into the sixtieth floor of the south tower.
Historians often vigorously debate about Herodotus and most things pertaining to him and his work. There is not a lot of information about Herodotus and most of our information about him comes from his actual writing itself. What we do know is that in a certain respect he is one of the earliest of all historians in the proper sense of whose work we possess. He lived during the fifth century (c.484 – 425 BC) and was born in Halicarnassus in Asia Minor, which is now modern day Bodrum in Turkey (de Ste. Croix.
