The Roswell UFO Crash
.... 2). These witnesses report to have seen humanoid
beings with large, pear-shaped heads and bulging black eyes being hauled away by
government and military agents and to have been debriefed of the entire
occurrence by these agents (Roswell Reporter pg. 3). Some witnesses were
threatened not to speak of the incident again. The object in question was later
classified by the government as a weather balloon and discounted all evidence
and eyewitness reports of the UFO scene (pg. 3).
The farmer whose field the UFO crashed in was offered a large sum of
money by a local radio station to tell his story on the air. He spoke of strange

Truth Or Fiction: The J.F.K. Assassination
.... had been seen at Parkland. Apparently
someone had mangled the wound to make it appear as an exit wound. But who, and
why? Was it to support the Lone Gunman theory? If it was, it failed to do so.
Another startling piece of information was concerning Kennedys brain. When the
President was ordered out of Parkland without an autopsy, he still had a brain.
However, when it the body arrived in Bethsada, the brain had suddenly
disappeared! As if that was not mysterious enough, Dr. Crenshaw, the last person
to see Kennedys body before it was flown to Bethsada, said the body was put in a
coffin, but when it arrived at Destination B, it wa .....

The War In Vietnam
.... Drawing an analogy with the unsuccessful
appeasement of fascist dictators before World War II, the Truman administration
believed that any sign of communist aggression must be met quickly and
forcefully by the United States and its allies. This reactive policy was known
as containment.
In Vietnam the target of containment was Ho Chi Minh and the Vietminh
front he had created in 1941. Ho and his chief lieutenants were communists with
long-standing connections to the Soviet Union. They were also ardent Vietnamese
nationalists who fought first to rid their country of the Japanese and then,
after 1945, to prevent France from re .....

The Whiskey Rebellion
.... the first use of the Militia Law of 1792 enabling the militia to “
execute the laws of the union, and suppress insurrection” (The Whiskey Rebellion
of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, 1).
It is clear that George Washington was the source of success in the
Whiskey Rebellion. When the militia, with Washington and Hamilton at its lead,
reached western Pennsylvania, it became clear that there would be no armed
resistance. Evidence of Washington's leadership in this rebellion took place
when the “Representatives of the insurgents asked for clemency, and Washington
granted it with stipulation that they comply with federal laws thereaft .....

The Great Inflation
.... for grain, and food quickly
began to run short in the cities. Prices rose one trillion-fold from their
pre-war level. More importantly, for the long-term political future of
Germany, the middle and working classes saw their savings wiped out.
These were, in essence, the people who were later to become the hard-core
of the Nazi vote.
Economists will argue that runaway hyperinflation has two sources. Firstly,
it arises through a fall in the foreign exchange value of a currency, when
an adverse balance of payments reduces foreign investors demand for the
currency. A falling exchange rate increases the cost of imports and,
there .....

The New Deal
.... action was
necessary.
In the first two years, the New Deal was concerned mainly with relief,
setting up shelters and soup kitchens to feed the millions of unemployed.
However as time progressed, the focus shifted towards recovery. In order to
accomplish this monumental task, several agencies were created. The National
Recovery Administration (NRA) was the keystone of the early new deal program
launched by Roosevelt. It was created in June 1933 under the terms of the
National Industrial Recovery Act. The NRA permitted businesses to draft "codes
of fair competition," with presidential approval, that regulated prices, wages .....

Imigration And Discrimination In The 20`s

raids thousands of aliens were deported and even more were arrested on
little or no evidence. Their civil liberties were violated, they were not
told the reasons for their arrests, denied counsel, and not given fair
trials. What followed was an investigation of Palmer led by Louis Post
which overturned many of Palmer's actions. Palmer's cretability was
shattered after in a last minute attempt to gain the 1920 presidencial
nomination, he made predictions about a May Day radical uprising, the
nation perpared itself, but on May 1st 1920 all was peaceful. While the

The Constitution

taken into consideration. The freedom of speech insures me that right to speak
out.
When I turn eighteen, I am permitted to vote for people representing my
state. I actively watch the news and think about politics. With all the
corruption and "bad politics", the wrong people have forced some of the "good"
people out of the government. I feel the right to vote is an important right to
me because it lets me to put better people in the government. It also lets me
decide who I want to run in office what people should be in office. Many
countries do no .....

"The World Today Seems To Be Going Crazy": The Unabomber's Manifesto
.... society is "narrowing the sphere of human
freedom" (Unabomber, 93).
The crudeness of the Unabomber's inaugural mail bomb attack was not an
indication of what was to come. The Unabomber's devices became more
sophisticated and deadly as his targets became more specific and focused. "The
pressure vessels in his bombs were the most sophisticated ever seen by federal
authorities" (Ewell, 3). His later efforts were sometimes concealed in books
and hand-carved boxes, had all hancrafted parts carved of wood and metal (he
made his own pins, screws and switches), and sometimes had altimeter and
barometric switches which .....

Kansas & Nebraska Act Resolved: The Kansas-Nebraska Act Was Fair

Slaves are considered property and you can take property anywhere. That is
unfair because then they would have to leaves all their slaves behind.
Lastly people needed slaves to tend their farm. If the government just
marked off land where people owned slaves and said that the state is now
free and no one could own slaves, what would the slave owners do. The slave
owners needed slaves to tend their farm and tend the crops, what would
slave owners do if they had to give up their slaves and hire people and pay
them to do the work.
The Kansas and Nebraska act was fair because it gave the people their
choice and they would be mor .....
