Recommended: Ben Hall influence on Collusion
This article appeared in the 'The Maitland Mercury and Hunter River General Advertiser' on the 12th of March 1863, in relation to Mr Cirkle's murder when a man named John Clarke was apprehended by Captain Battye and Detective Woolf in connection with Cirkle’s murder and where Clarke was one who was perceived by Captain Battye to be of ‘bad character’. On arrest, and in consequence of Clarke’s subsequent interview with Captain Battye, Clarke claimed that Frank Gardiner was involved, unfortunately, as has been established Gardiner had long fled the Burrangong/Lachlan district for Queensland. Therefore it is more likely Clarke and another possibly Ben Hall? , (for if Gardiner had been involved he would not have remained outside) waited nearby Cirkle's for Gilbert and John O'Meally whilst the robbery was conducted and as a consequence the

The political cartoon of Boss Tweed by Thomas Nast is the one I picked. The cartoon, titled "Boss Tweed Caricature," was created largely to draw attention to Boss Tweed's unlawful meddling in the political system. With the authority he was given, Boss Tweed broke several rules, stole a lot of money from the public, gave people jobs they didn't deserve, and hired people with the intention of gaining him more support. Boss Tweed was the subject of several cartoons by Thomas Nast, but this one in particular was meant to draw attention to how much control he had over the political system and how he was abusing it to manipulate the elections. I think Thomas Nast had a valid point when he said that he was acting selfishly and not for the proper reasons
Richard Nixon was the 37th president of the United States and currently the only president to have resigned from office. From 1969 to 1974 Nixon held office after a new wave of conservatism due to the College students marches that consequently turned into riots over anti-war Vietnam sentiment. Furthermore the Democratic Party split due to polarization over the involvement of the United States in the war. According to The Enduring Vision President Nixon had a tendency to be paranoid and fearful of any political opponent; including an “enemies list” where he kept all political opponents in check.
Andrew Johnson “If I am shot at, I want no man to be in the way of the bullet.” These powerful words were spoken by Andrew Johnson. This quote describes how brave he was. This also explains his character. Andrew Johnson lived a tough life.
Reverend Hale is still struggling with believing the truth but he finally believes in the third act. The third act takes place in court where John testifies. Hale now knows the truth and believes that justice will be served. Everything gets placed out in the open (it is a hoax, the affair, and the dancing in the woods) but Danforth and Hathorne do not believe it. “But it does not follow that everyone accused is part of it” (Miller, 215).
In general I would say Richard Nixon was a fairly decent president. During a time where there were many protests amongst the American public (especially the youth) against the troops in Vietnam, Nixon was able to pull the troops out of the war. Nixon also reduced the tensions with the Soviet Union, and helped China join the United Nations. He also helped decrease the amount of racial discrimination by segregating schools in the south. It is a shame though, that those achievements of his are not acknowledged because of the Watergate Scandal.
During the history of New York, there is the history of Tammany Hall founded in 1789 in opposition to the Federalist Party, and the main goal of this organization was to fight against the Federalist Party as Antifederalists. The Federalist Party’s main goal was to ratify the constitution and divide the power between the national government and the state government, so, the Tammany Hall was created to fight against the goal of the Federalist Party. Also, from 1890s to 1934, Tammany Hall became famous due charges of corruption against the leader William M. Boss Tweed, better known as “Boss”. Although this organization was guilty of some corruption cases, it succeeded because it helped poor people and because it never lost touch with its people;
The 29th president of the United States, Warren Harding, is known for very few things including having one of the worst presidencies in history and being part of arguably the biggest financial scandal in the U.S. The Teapot Dome scandal is the leasing of three oil reserves, that were property of the Department of the Navy, to Sinclair and Doheny. Albert Fall was the one who made the deal with Sinclair and Doheny because he was having financial issues and they were going to give him no-interest loans and gifts. Warren Harding ended up becoming a pawn for Sinclair and Doheny to make these transfers happen. Harding was a huge piece in the scandal and had a large impact whether he was a knowledgeable player in the purchases and coverup or not.
This had a great impact on Tom Robinson's trial because he was seen as inferior to the jury, Bob Ewell, and his daughter, Mayella Ewell. The jury decided to take the words of the superior even though Tom was not guilty. The results of the trial were biased because of the unfair laws that even influenced the decisions of the jury during the
Although we like to pretend the President of the Unites States is a perfect leader capable of leading this country to glory, no President is without scandals. They are humans just like the general population, and with every new president, rumors spread. Some turn out to be just that, but in some cases those rumors turn out to be true. Thomas Jefferson was the third president of the United States and during his presidency there was a report that he and a woman by the name of Sally Hemings were engaged in a sexual relationship. Jefferson got married to Martha Wayles Skeleton in 1772 and in 1773 Mrs. Hemings was brought onto Jefferson's plantation as a slave because of Martha's inheritance.
The year is 1832 Pablo King, Henry Clay, and Nicholas Biddle is super stressed out about the Bank of The United States closing. Pablo King is a senator from Georgia and owns a cotton plantation with lots of slaves on it. He also is an immigrant from Spain. The president, Andrew Jackson, is very sick in the White House suffering from a gunshot wound. The infection is spreading throughout his body making him weaker.
Richard Nixon was the 37th president of the United States; he resigned as president after his involvement in the Watergate Scandal. People broke into the Watergate building to wiretap phones and steal secret documents. Nixon knew about the break in before hand and tried to cover it up. When people found out about him trying to cover it up, he decided to resign as president. He gave his speech on August 8th 1974 and resigned on the 9th.
Andrew Carnegie was one of the most famous and wealthiest American industrialist during the Industrial Age. He was a robber baron who made a fortune in the steel industry and applied vertical integration to his business. Carnegie contradicted his views as a robber baron because he supported, but destroyed many unions. This made many of his views unethical.
The trial of the Scottsboro boys was a trial that was the cause of two white women accusing nine black men of raping them. Their appeals, retrials, and legal proceedings attracted the attention of the nation and produced to Supreme Court rulings in their favor. The Scottsboro boys trial demonstrates that nonconformity to unjust practices can lead to justice for all people because their trial triggered The Supreme Court ruling that had a major impact on the American system of laws for the right to adequate counsel, the ruling for the right to not be excluded from a jury based on race, and still has a continuing effect in our own time which affirms the principle of equal protection under the law. Their case not only saved them from the death sentence but also started up debate about equal protection under the law such as in the first Supreme Court ruling.
