Lee had pulled this trick before. Lee remained on standby and waited for
he plan to develop more fully. Hooker's cavalry moved and was reported to
Lee. He decided it was time to react. Lee had two choices. One, he could
turn tail in retreat toward Richmond or face the threat behind him. Here,
Lee made one of the boldest, most brilliant moves of the war.
Lee completely split up his army. He left only 10,000 Confederates

Events Leading To The American Revolution
... very strong dictum, that in 1764,
the colonists were of a submissive nature, and were weakly pleading for
self-autonomy. This small fire of anger will become a huge conflagration as
the rights are slowly rescinded.
On October 19, 1765 the Stamp Act Congress and Parliamentary Taxation
committee's passed some laws that attempted to strengthen the grip of the
English crown. "I.That his Majesty's subjects in these colonies, owe the
same allegiance to the Crown of Great Britain that is owing from his

body, the Parliament of Great Britain." Thi ...

History Of Western Music
... the music of choice for composers of that day.
Many of the songs we have today of the Middle Ages were in Latin, and are by anonymous composers. Many were written by wandering people, many of them men and churchmen without permanent residences of their own. Men who could not obtain a position in the Church and had to drop out were called goliards. These goliards wandered around the land, composing and performing for people. Their music was mostly comprised of the "’eat, drink, and be merry’ type, appropriate to the wanton kind of life the goliards lived" (Stolba, 99). Carl Orff, the composer of the Carm ...

The Causes Of The Civil War: Slavery, Economics, Or Constitutional Differences
... on each side. This
Compromise had several provisions: California was admitted to the Union as
a free state; The territories of New Mexico and Utah were created without
restrictions of slavery; The slave trade was abolished in Washington, D.C.;
Congress passed a stricter fugitive slave law. This compromise showed just
how important slavery was to each side, and it gives us a good idea of why
it could be important as one of their goals during the Civil War. With
slavery in mind, it brought about ideas of succession to the South.
Because the South was scared of Lincoln abolishing slavery, they thought it
would b ...

Perception And Plato’s Theaetetus
... feel, taste,
or smell.” It is not the way things are exactly, but the way we see them; or because it
involves all of the five senses, the way we perceive them. Perception is not restricted to
sight only, the world has countless numbers of sounds, smells, and textures.
Perception is “the way things look to us” because even though something might
seem to be one way, it is another. For example, the Muller-Lyer illusion makes people see
two lines of different lengths, while the lines are the same size. This illustrates the fact
that just because you perceive something to be a certain way does not mea ...

Jay's Treaty
... to British merchants. Although the people did not like these
terms, Washington supported them to prevent us from going to war. Washington
made his first move by sending a delegate to England, and furthermore by
standing up to congress to get this treaty ratified. He demonstrates again his
great moral coura ge for the welfare of his country.
Although Washington himself did not write the treaty he deserves all the
credit for initiating it in the first place. The times had become rough with
the British, and according to Hamilton the British were a vital part of our
economy. He said " …the tax on imports furni ...

They sculpted, painted and created in what they believed to be perfection. They created all buildings in perfect rectangles, since they believed that rectangles were the epitome of perfection, the “golden section” if you will. Greek art was a portrayal of their ideals, which is why most pe ...

The New Deal
... was nominated, he said, "I pledge you, I pledge
myself, to a new deal for the American people." The New Deal included
federal action of unprecedented scope to stimulate industrial recovery,
assist victims of the Depression, guarantee minimum living standards, and
prevent future economic crises. Many economic, political, and social
factors lead up to the New Deal. Staggering statistics, like a 25%
unemployment rate, and the fact that 20% of NYC school children were under
weight and malnourished, made it clear immediate action was necessary. In
the first two years, the New Deal was concerned mainly with relief, ...

According to Diane Barthel, in today's society, advertisements target men and urge them to adopt traditional male roles. Advertisements are pushing men to become anything from the typical cowboy in blue jeans to a corporate tycoon with a business suit, or the playboy look to the gentlemen look in their ads.
