believed to have powers that could help find it.
Pacific Northwest people were obviously affected by their geography. Food
and resources were so plentiful they didn't have to spend too much time farming

pace of railroad building increased. The Pacific railroads, the Union Pacific

Human Nature And The Declaration Of Independence
.... on the
workings of governments of the time and contemporary theories of government of
writers and political-social thinkers of their time.
The three essays that were given to us in class, Politics by Aristotle,
Of Commonwealth by Thomas Hobbes, and Of the Limits of Government by John
Locke are all very intersting essays on how government is supposed to funtion.
Although the founding fathers probably read all three of these essays and
simialar philosphical thought went into the writing of The Declaration of
Independence I think that the only essay of the really used by the founding
fathers was Of the Limits of Government by .....

Just War Doctrine And The Gulf Conflict
.... just cause,
usually humanitarian, must first exist.
3. Right Intention - This relates to the tenet of just cause. Just
cause must be followed by right intention. It would be unjust seek a goal
devoid of the just cause.
4. Proportionality - Also in relation to just cause is the tenet of
proportionality. Proportionality must exist between the cause and the decision
to go to war. For country (a) to initiate a total war with country (b) because
of a minor violation that country (b) was responsible for would be
unproportional and unjust. There is not cause enough to warrant country (b)
being subjected to a total war.

Lincoln's Legacy

forget them was strongly emphasized in he Gettysburg Address. In the Bill of
Rights it is conveyed that no person should be deprived of their basic rights.
These men that died in order that we could all be sovereign, and that nobody
could own anyone else, were deprived of everything when their lives were taken.
It is our responsibility to never forget what they have so bravely done for us.
Lincoln's legacy has taught us to treat others fairly, to stay united ,
and to show respect where respect is deserved. We, as American citizens, must
follow these teachings. If looked at closel .....

story to a national scandal. It ended only when Richard Nixon was forced
from office.
Watergate was connected to Vietnam, it eventually exposed a long series of
illegal activities in the Nixon administration. Nixon and his staff were
found to have spied on and harassed political opponents, planned
contributions to the campaign, and tried to cover-up their illegal acts.

The Progressive Era
.... and sought ways to purify it.
Big Business was also a target of progressivism. During this time
presidents like Roosevelt and William Howard Taft tried to regulate and control
big business. Many well educated people of the time, as well as moderately
prosperous businessmen and members of other professions(middle class) felt
threatened by the increasing power of big business and the tycoons. These people
were also disturbed by the Big business' influence in politics, making a mockery
of the democratic system. Then with the failure of the interstate commerce act
and the Sherman act, made big business look unstoppable. As the .....

Reconstruction In The South
.... had signed oaths of loyalty to the Union. Under this plan new
governments were formed in Louisiana, Tennessee and Arkansas but the Congress
refused to recognize them. Republicans in Congress did not want a quick
restoration, for the reason that it would bring Democratic representatives and
senators to Washington, and in 1864 Congress passed the Wade-Davis
Reconstruction Bill. This bill would have delayed the process of rejoining the
Union until 50 percent of the people took an oath of loyalty but Lincoln pocket
vetoed the bill. Abraham Lincoln was assassinated just as the South surrendered
in April 1865, and then Andrew Johnson .....

the Ohio and Mississippi was forbidden, and trappers, traders and settlers were
allowed in only with a license given from the crown, stating there reasons for
being in those two areas. The French language was also allowed to continue.
This may seem very strange, but I will explain it in a minute. Also the French
religion (Roman Catholicism) was allowed to continue. Britain also made it very
discouraging to have this culture, disallowing anyone who had anything to do
with these political and official status. The Protestant religion was also
promoted.

Reasons For The American Revolution
.... American sailors were also subject to hardships brought forth by the
British. They were forced by impressment to join the Royal Navy to fight against
their own brothers.
By placing duties on all imported goods, this raised the prices so much
that all the colonists could afford were smuggled goods. The smugglers were also
hard to get things from because the British had the right to search all ships
without warrants.
How could a loyal hard-working American colonists pledge their
allegiance to a country where the sovereign does not recognize their rights,
their presence in Parliament, and their importance to Great Britain's s .....
