.... on the many families that lived there. Many of the men worked in the copper mines and did not see the light of day. A typical day started at 6:00 am and finished at 6:00pm when they would return home to their wives who looked after the home. Lunch would be a Cornish pasty which was cooked by the "missus". Young boys of ten and over would often join their fathers at the site and pick through the tailings for copper pieces of any value. These boys were often called young "picky boys". The young girls would stay at home with their mother and help with the domestics and looking after the kids. There were many cases when a mining accident occurred and father was killed. This wo ....

.... It states that in a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. That theory, and many others, are still used today. Another man, Euclid, was very important in today's mathematics. He compiled the Elements of Geometry, which remained in use in many classrooms until very recently (including Montgomery). Sadly, Pythagoras, and other mathematicians, hit a roadblock which stopped mathematics almost completely until modern times. Irrational numbers scared them, and they decided that something irrational had no place in the rational world. Of course, today we have overcome those fears, and there are several ir ....

.... made empires based on gold. These Indians had a plethora of gold but explorers such as Cortez of Spain who saw this brought back stories of an overabundance of gold. As a result, conquistadores invaded the Americas, killing and rampaging the azteks. They also spread deadly diseases to the Indians who had a deficient immune system in contrast to those of Europeans. Not only did these outrages happen to these two cultures, but this happened to the North American Indians. Englishman pushed Indians out of their homes and set up their own society. The Africans brought over from Africa did not do so great either. Portuguese pioneered the market for African slave trade a ....

.... the government from "abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." Since the early history of our country, the protection of basic freedoms has been of the utmost importance to Americans. In Langston Hughes' poem, "Freedom," he emphasizes the struggle to enjoy the freedoms that he knows are rightfully his. He reflects the American desire for freedom now when he says, "I do not need my freedom when I'm dead. I cannot live on tomorrow's bread." He recognizes the need for freedom in its entirety without compromise or fear. I think Langston Hughes cap ....

.... of integrity, love, truth, fairness, caring, non-violence, achievement and peace were what motivated him. King is not great because he is well known, he is great because he served as the cause of peace and justice for all humans. King is remembered for his humanity, leadership and his love of his fellow man regardless of skin color. This presence of strong moral values developed King’s character which enabled him to become one of the most influential leaders of our time. Integrity is a central value in a leader’s character and it is through integrity that King had vision of the truth. The truth that one day this nation would live up to the creed, "all men are c ....

.... state except for Georgia and South Carolina had outlawed the slave trade. Then, in 1782 Virginia passed a law that stated that owners must free their slaves. Consequently, by 1790, over ten thousand slaves had been set free. Ten years later, antislavery societies were forming from states ranging from Virginia to Massachusetts. Gradually, other northern states had followed, providing for the abolition of slavery. However, after the cotton gin was introduced to the economy, instead of eliminating the need for slavery, it actually had the opposite effect—the south now needed slavery more than ever. In addition, before Missouri joined the union, many northerners opposed the i ....

.... The new culture has thus been termed "Hellenistic" - not purely Greek, because of all the towns under his control, it was a melting pot. After Alexander's death the empire was divided into three large portions each general taking a portion. Egypt under the general Ptolemy, who established the Ptolemies dynasty this was ruled with all the pomp and authority of the pharaohs. Second was the general Seleucus, who founded Seleucid dynasty consisting of Northern Syria and most of the remaining provinces of the old Persian Empire. This empire was ruled very loosely and its subject began to rebel against the policies of Seleucid. Third we have general Antigonid who ruled ....

.... of how each country was responsible for the creation of the war. His first explanation is that of how Serbia was partly responsible. Fay explains that Serbia knew that by not co-operating with the Austrian government over the implications of the Archduke Francis Ferdinand assassination they were indirectly preparing for a war they would fight but did not want. Fay says that Austria was more responsible for the war than any other power but not in military attack, but more in the form of self-defence. He makes it clear that Austria was justified in their battle and that they didn’t have to, “sit back and await the dismemberment at the hands of its neighbors.” ....
