.... came from the Coercive Acts. The Sugar and the Stamp Acts were the first events by which the Americans felt their rights violated. The British wanted to collect tax for revenue, from the Americans, who felt they were dispossessed from the right of self- taxation. The Americans felt that they should be able to manage their own taxation, or to select people to manage their taxation. What they absolutely did not want, was the British taking care of their taxation. They did not want taxation without representation. The Townshend Revenue acts of 1767 were another justification for the Americans’ rebellion. This taxed imported goods, such as paper ....

.... and personality. King believed in equality and peace for all races. “Black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholic, will be able to join hands” (King, 1963). King did not just focus on African American struggles, but for all races and creeds. King’s strategy was one of peace and embracing the oppressor. “The sons of slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down at the table of brotherhood” (King 1963). He encourages his followers to remember that all people are God’s children and that hopefully one day all Americans from all backgrounds can join together to sing "My country ‘tis of thee, Sweet land of liber ....

.... lives for the better.The very earliest existence of the modern day computer’s ancestor is the abacus. These date back to almost 2000 years ago. It is simply a wooden rack holding parallel wires on which beads are strung. When these beads are moved along the wire according to "programming" rules that the user must me! morize, all ordinary arithmetic operations can be performed (Soma, 14). The next innovation in computers took place in 1694 when Blaise Pascal invented the first "digital calculating machine". It could only add numbers and they had to be entered by turning dials. It was designed to help Pascal’s father who was a tax collector (Soma, 32).In the earl ....

.... of Antietam. A lot of the soldiers and officers who were in Antietam in 1862 were also there in 1864. In Antietam Gen. Early led men under Stonewall Jackson near the Dunker church. His men were involved in a brawl that brought the morning phase of the battle to an end. General Early revisited the Antietam battlefield in 1864. He is quoted in saying how little evidence there was of the battle. Many people compared General Early to Stonewall Jackson, because he led soldiers that were once commanded by Jackson, through some of the same places. General Lewis Wallace was not on Grant’s good side. In 1863, at the Battle of Shiloh, Wallace got lost on his way there. ....

.... promoted non-violence, civil rights, and the end to racial segregation, a man of the name of Malcom X dreamed of a separate nation. Martin Luther King, Jr. was the conscience of his generation. A Southerner, a black man, he gazed upon the great wall of segregation and saw that the power of love could bring it down. From the pain and exhaustion of his fight to free all people from the bondage of separation and injustice, he wrung his eloquent statement of what America could be. (Ansboro, pg.1) An American clergyman and a Nobel Peace Prize winner, he was one of the principle leaders of the American Civil Rights Movement and a prominent advocate of nonviolent protest. King's ....

.... or castle. By the time of the Renaissance, towns in southern Europe had grown greatly in size. The wealthy people who lived in Renaissance society had more spare time and money than in the Middle Ages. This meant they could spend more time studying new ideas and had more money to truly patronise the arts. The medieval view of the world was a look at the bad side of things: People thought of life as short and full of suffering. There was very little medieval art that didn't have a religious theme, and most art was made by hired artists for a church, to teach people about there faith and encourage them to lead better lives so they could go to heaven. The middle ages did not, of ....

.... would have more religious freedom and land. The Indians much like the Europeans had to adapt to a new ways of live, while migrating to the New World the Europeans brought many new things with them that dumbfounded the Indians, some of those thing being a callous behavior towards the land, diseases and religious zeal. Even though both cultures could have probably coexisted quite peacefully the Europeans felt that they were superior to the Indians and set out to dominate and suppress the Indian population. Many Europeans were drawn to the New World because it held promise, something that their homeland lacked. They wanted to create a world that was similar to the one left be ....

.... otherwise. On many important issues at this time, his position is opposite of mine and because of that, my decision in the upcoming 1836 election will be affected by them. In the issue of the Second Bank of the United States, he had abused his executive power immensely. He had vetoed a re-charter of the bank using his power. It seemed that he had abused the power and used it for his own causes. Previous to Andrew Jackson, the presidential veto power had only been used nine times, and only when questioning the constitutionality of something. Andrew Jackson was scared of the bank. He had told me before that ever since he had heard about the South Sea Bubble (18th ce ....
