The Boston Massacre
... weapon, your own bare hands.
The people that died are: Crispus Attacks, one of the more famous
people who was an African American sailor, Samuel Gray, a worker at rope
walk, James Caldwell, a mate on a American ship, Samuel Maverick, who was a
young seventeen year old male, and Patrick Carr, a feather maker.
The purpose of the Boston Massacre was to try to make liberal and
moderate people become radicals. It was really an accident and the radicals
tried to use propaganda and turn something small into something big. The
British soldiers were accused of Murder and manslaughter. To represent them

Alexander Hamilton And The National Debt
... debt and he seemed to stop at nothing to change this.
Hamilton wanted to fund the national debt by issuing new bonds. He wanted to assume state debts to equalize the financial burden of war and put America on a sound economy. He wanted to create a national bank. This bank would be a collecting point for federal taxes as well as issue currency. The protective tariff plan was a plan that didn't work. It was supposed to place a tax on imported goods, in hopes of protecting American manufacturers. Congress did not pass this bill. This did not stop Hamilton. He came up with another plan to raise money, an excise ...

WWII: Why Did The U.S. Get Involved In The War?
... itself. Other believed that Europe's wars were
no affairs of the U.S.
As the war progressed, the U.S. found itself getting involved. They
felt sympathy for the British after what happened at Dunkirk. They started
helping G.B. with weapons and food. 50 old American naval destroyers were sent
to Britain. Now it was clear the U.S. were on the Allies side but they still
weren't physically involved in the big war.
On December 7, 1941, the Japanese launched a surprise attack on the
American naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Their aim was to strike such a
severe blow that the U.S. would not rival the Japanese in ...

The American Revolution
... need for economic reliance in their mother county. England failed to recognize this though, and instead of liberating their colonies, suppressed them. After the French and Indian war, England needed a way to repay debts. They looked toward the colonies, to start generating revenue for the mother country instead of for themselves. England used several taxes, laws, and acts to make this possible, several influential measures were the Mercantile system, the stamp tax, and the Intolerable acts.
“The British Empire was erected on the then-popular theory of mercantilism, which held that colonies existed for the be ...

Can The United States Justify The Civil War
... a way to squirm out of taking the
blame for the enslaved and murdered Mexican causalities. There was one man,
though, who would not let this happen, David Wilmot. David Wilmot was a
democrat from Pennsylvania, who was willing to revise the President's bill. In
this revision, Wilmot proposed "...neither slavery nor involuntary servitude
shall ever exist in any part of the territory...". This was not well liked by
the South and eventhough it was given thumbs up many times in the senate, our
newly formed country was now bordered by fresh land. The Wilmot Proviso
underwent quite a bit of pressure so that compromi ...

My Darling Clementine - The Ef
... a chosen mood for the story. That's noir. The image of a bright sunny day with blue skies, white clouds, green grass, and birds singing would have no place in a seriously dramatic fantasy like Batman. It just would not fit. I think My Darling Clementine is different.
In this film the noir lighting style was effectively integrated into the story but for a much simpler purpose. Here in Clementine I think it's used merely as a pictorial element. A tool, to enhance a scene here and there with little relevance to the story line. This film did have very elaborate dark scenes but still not enough to put it under the la ...

The Springfield Armory
... for the United States to produce their own weapons instead of relying on foreign suppliers. One of these armories was built in Springfield, Massachusetts. The location for this facility was prime. Springfield was located at the intersection of two major roadways. It was also along the banks of the Connecticut River, which made water transport of weapons rather easy. The facility was far enough upstream that the threat of an attack on the facility was rather small. The Connecticut River also provided hydroelectric power to the facility. Another advantage of Springfield was that since it was a struggling village ...

The Self Portraits Of Gertrude Stein And Pablo Picaso
... to be rather opinionated, spending the greater part of his visits to the Steins’ residence sulking in the corner. He found difficulty in explaining his far-fetched opinions and positions, especially in French; in fact, he felt they needed no explanation. Frequent explication of his views, mixed with Matisse’s inspired advocation of his own way of painting, failed to entertain Picasso, and thus most viewed him as a rather disagreeable character. Still Picasso returned each Saturday to sit aloof and observe the conversation of Paris’ elite intellectuals. It was not until Picasso began his portrait of Gertrude St ...

The Civil Rights Movement
... to the Kerner Commission report, but
on the whole the civil rights movement has been a success because blacks are
better off now than they were before it began.
The Kerner Commission report has some truth when it comes to blacks and politics,
but overall the movement was a success because blacks have achieved more
politically than before they began. Before the movement, blacks had almost no
political power due to laws designed to prevent blacks from voting, like poll
taxes, literacy tests and the Grandfather Clause. Also when some blacks went to
vote, people simply wouldn't let them register. Due to lack of voti ...

Analyzing Curse Of The Starving Class
... have some background on Goethe, we can focus on his questions of analyzing art. These three questions are as follows: (1) What is the artist trying to do?, (2) How well does the artist do it?, and (3) Is it worth doing? The preceding questions could be answered in aim of the painter, actor, director, scene designer, make-up artist, and so on.
In analyzing “Curse of the Starving Classes” with Goethe’s questions, I will keep my focus on the playwright, Sam Shepard. His is a story that I don’t come across very often. I believe Mr. Shepard wrote this play to bring a variety into the theatre, as well as writ ...
