... officials were attacked, President Washington and his advisors decided to send troops to assuage the region. On August 14, 1792, under the militia law, Henry Knox (secretary of war) had called for 12,950 troops. After this, many problems arose, both political and logistical. These dilemmas had to be overcome, and by October, 1794 the men were on the march towards Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. There, they contained the mob hysteria and anger. This event represented the first use of the Militia Law of 1792 enabling the militia to “ execute the laws of the union, and suppress insurrection� (The Whiskey Rebellion o ...

... engines. Langley called his airplanes "Aerodromes". Samuel P. Langley was born on August 22, 1834, in Roxburry, Massachusetts. Langley was an American astronomer, physicist, and aeronautics fanatic who helped with solar phenomena related to meteorology. Langley practiced civil engineering and architecture in Chicago, Illinois and St. Louis, Missouri. After this, he went back to Boston and received an assistantship at the Harvard Observatory.

... occurrence. The United Nations Security Council passed 12 resolutions condemning the invasion. The ultimate decision was to use military force if Iraq did not withdraw by January 15, 1991. When the deadline was set, it was time to start preparing for war. President George Bush confronted little difficulty in winning Americans’ support for the potential war against Iraq. However, the government found it difficult to decide upon a reason for going to war. It was either to oppose aggression or it was to protect global oil supplies. Other powers were more directly concerned as consumers of Persian Gulf oil, but they ...

... He was the son of two Irish imigrants. No one expected Ford to revolutionize the Nation or the world with his invention but he did. He had quit school at the age of 15 and by the age of 16 he had created a steam threshing machine. By the age of 17 he had moved to Detriot, intent on becoming a machinist and from there he was on his way to create the steam engine. His creation of the steam engine wasn’t excepted at first. It was able to give the power of a couple of horses, but people were not ready to accept the fact. Henry Ford realized his dream of producing an automobile that was reasonably priced, reliabl ...

... people plots of land for their cabins. The towns offered security and a community for the prospectors. Some choose that they would go and claim their own land. In the spring of 1859 somewhere around 100,000 people left for the hills of the Rockies in the hunt for gold. As many as half of those people didn't even make it to Colorado. A lot of the other people either turned back or died on the way. Most of the people who did make it returned home without the riches that they came for. The people that returned home were called "Go Backs". The other men stayed behind and continued panning or opened up shops in n ...

... politely petitioned Parliament and the King but only to find they were speaking to a deaf ear. The Quartering Act was the worst demand placed on colonists. This forced colonists to provide food and shelter to men who took American jobs and raped American women. Why should Americans waste their hard earned money on men sent to enforce the unbearable English demands. The Currency Act hurt colonists by making paper money, which Americans had an abundance of, useless and converting them to gold and silver which was very scarce there. The American sailors were also subject to hardships brought forth by the British. ...

... real friend says "Whats new with you?" A simple friend thinks the problems you whine about are new... A real friend says "You've whined about the same thing for years, get off your duff and do something about it!! A simple friend had never seen you cry... a real friend has soggy shoulders from your tears. A simple friend dosen't know your parents first names... a real friend has their number in his address book. A simple friend brings a bottle of wine to your party... a real friend comes early to help cook, and stays late to help clean. A simple friend hates it when you call after he has gone to bed.. ...

... through Venetian blinds, peopled by hard-boiled characters whose speech was tough and witty, who were hard drinkers and fast livers. They smoldered with a barely sublimated intense sexual tension. The French critics of the day were the first to hail the new style, which they called "film noir". Before I proceed, let me be quite clear as to how film noir might qualify as a genre worthy of our consideration in connection with existentialist film. As I said, I do not necessarily assert that the film noir genre is a direct result of the popularity of existentialist philosophy in America. Film noir does, however ...

... prior to Monday, May 4th had clashes between police and students resulting in broken windows and other property damage. None of the damage seemed just cause for murder. That Monday as the guards began to approach them, with some lagging behind. None of them were any closer than 60 yards. Rocks were thrown by some of the male students but is this just cause for murder? Were the guards lives in danger? The protest they [guards] were sent to end would result in others across the country. Why is murder okay until the common man commits it. Does the state have to much power? The students were tense, yet peac ...

... old, but not that old. Her hair, being dark gray as opposed to being white, perhaps contributed her younger-than-ninety-two-years-old appearance. Also, her movements were convincing at times, but lacked frailness at certain points. For instance, when she returned from the bathroom and sat on the bed, she was very able to seat herself and sit very well without any back support whereas earlier she had needed assistance as well as a pillow for her back. The other characters, B and C, were convincing in their costumes and makeup. However, I didn't truly understand their characters. I couldn't tell if the nurse, B, was ...
