Civil War
548 Words - 2 Pages.... But now he swore his loyalty with stirring words, "This
is my flag, which I will follow and defend." This speech gave
great assurance that the masses in the great cities were devoted
to the Union and ready to enlist for its defense.
More than 400,000 European immigrants fought for the
Union, including more than 170,00 Germans and more than 150,00
Irish. Many saw their services as a proud sacrifice. The first
officer to die for the Union was Captain Constatin Blandowski,
one of many immigrants who earlier had fought for freedom in
Europe and then joined Lincoln's army. Born in Upper Silesia and
trained at Dresden, Germany, he was a veteran of de ....

The Socratic Logos
488 Words - 2 Pages.... (if they ever do reach a logos). In the Euthyphro Socrates never reached a logos for virtue. Euthyphro's definition as "What all the gods love"(Euthyphro, 9e) was incorrect because Euthyphro was presupposing that the reason the gods love it is because it is already pious.
The main subject of the Meno is the search for a definition of virtue. However, Meno and Socrates are unable to find one because Meno first attempts to give some characteristics of virtue, but is unable to do so because he cannot list all the aspects that are a part of virtue. Also, in the Meno Socrates attempts to define shape as that which "Always follows color."(Meno, 75c) Intuitively this account ....

Artists Works
1227 Words - 5 Pages.... made one side brown and the other blue, but on closer inspection, one sees that the two sides, although very similar, are nothing alike.
On one side, there sits a limp body staring at the reflection of herself in the water that she sinks in. The setting sun glistens off the back of her head, but she just wallows in grim depression and boredom. The canyons trap her in the barren wasteland as she sits motionless, without movement, struggle, or life. This mysterious figure looks so vacant that it might as well be dead. Nothing is happening on this side, so one's attention is directed to the other.
On the other side, a blue decaying hand emerges from the ground with ....

The Slave Trade
1289 Words - 5 Pages.... and social backgrounds tend to operate all over the world. It can be said that it this economic motive was the reason a sense of racism towards blacks was first unleashed.
Although many like to think that began with the Europeans capturing different tribesman of Africa and sending them to America, (as depicted in some modern day motion pictures), in reality had been carrying on many years before that. Slavery has been recorded all through human history. The Islamic civilizations in the fourteen hundreds had a large trade system in which they marched their slaves across the Sahara to areas in the east. Additionally, it was very common amongst competing African tribes th ....

The Symbol Of The South
656 Words - 3 Pages.... mingled on those ghostly battlefields when the smoke cleared. Removing the flag from where it has stood for over 60 years would be like saying that all of those men had given their lives for naught. Perhaps it would not have been best for the South to have won the war, but we should respect and uphold the men who fought so bravely for their cause. The mistaken idea that the Civil War was about slavery is one of the many causes that the flag's right to be above the capitol is questioned. This mistaken idea often causes problems between the races of this state. Slavery was wrong. I would never try to justify it, because it can not be justified. It was simply wrong, God made ....

capabilities, acting as

Cause And Effect Of Wwi
2801 Words - 11 Pages.... to infiltrate
Bosnia and carry out the assassination of the Archduke. It is unclear
how officially active the Serbian government was in the plot. However,
it was uncovered years later that the leader of the Black Hand was
also the head of Serbian military intelligence. In order to understand
the complexity of the causes of the war, it is very helpful to know
what was the opinion of the contemporaries about the causes of the
Great War. In the reprint of the article "What Started the War", from
August 17, 1915 issue of The Clock magazine published on the Internet
the author writes: "It is thought that this war that is been ongoing
for over a year, began with ....

A Contemplative Look At Henri Matisse
2120 Words - 8 Pages.... an industrial career. Both of his parents influenced Matisse’s life greatly. He acquired artistic taste from his mother, herself somewhat of an artist, who often spent much of her time working on ceramics to decorate their home. Her talented artistic ability and her support of his art, influenced Henri Matisse in his decisions to pursue art as a career. His father on the other hand was more of the average hard working class. He was a local grain merchant. Matisse's father perhaps played a less influential role, but never the less, a significant one. He was stricter and more disciplinary, but for the most part he also supported his son during times of financial and emotion ....
