... did not all posses the same characteristics to lead and demonstrate that the country so desperately desired, the people where looking for a hero, a national stalwart champion.

Though he sometimes superceded the powers granted him in the constitution, he was a forward man, always leading the way. Following up the presidency of Roosevelt was William Howard Taft, the hand chosen successor of Roosevelt. Taft was a close ...

... Anyone who deserted the legionaries would be tracked down and killed. Many people who write about the Legionaries believe that a large part of their greatness was due to their strict discipline. Instead of being the tough guys when they conquered a city, they treated their conquered foes much better than other armies. Most victors killed or, if they were lucky, enslaved the entire city they conquered. Sometimes, the Legions even allowed the conquered enemies to keep their original government, provided they give Rome ships or soldiers to help them win the war.

... about their goals. Born in hope, they died in despair, as both movements saw many of their gains washed away. I propose to examine why they failed in realizing their goals. My thesis is that failure to incorporate economic justice for Blacks in both movements led to the failure of the First and Second Reconstruction. The First Reconstruction came after the Civil War and lasted till 1877. The political, social, and economic conditions after the Civil War defined the goals of the First Reconstruction. At this time the Congress was divided politically on issues that grew out of the Civil War: Black equality, rebuil ...

President Reagan also stated to the press that there was no way for our citizens to get off the island.

We must use intelligence to overcome obstacles.� He felt that science played a big part in the educational development process and viewed science as a method of probing into the behavior of things.

... will be revealed as the major influence over the other three factors. According to Robert Krick, an interviewee of Carl Zebrowski's article "Why the South Lost the Civil War," "the basic problem was numbers. Give Abraham Lincoln seven million men and give Jefferson Davis and Robert E. Lee twenty-one million, cognitive dissonance doesn't matter, European recognition doesn't matter, the Emancipation Proclamation and its ripple effect don't matter. Twenty-one to seven is a very different thing then seven to twenty-one" (Zebrowski 223). Despite the North's enormous population advantage over the South during the Civil ...
