the Congress sent the document to the printer. Then, by the end of 1776,
independent governments were functioning in every state except Georgia and

President Jackson And The Removal Of The Cherokee Indians
.... map shows eloquently, the relationship
between time and policies which effected the Indians. From the Colonial and
Confederation treaties, a significant amount of land had been acquired from
the Cherokee Indians. Successively, during Washington's, Monroe's, and
Jefferson's administration, more and more Indian land was being
commandeered. The administrations during the 1790's to the 1830's had
gradually acquired more and more land from the Cherokee Indians. Jackson
followed that precedent by the acquisition of more Cherokee lands.

wages as a source of income. However, as wonderful as this might seem, this
new system led to the emergence of a n working class (proletariat) and
forced them to depend on market conditions in order to survive as producers.
Although seemingly content at first, those who became employed by these
factories were immediately subjected to deplorable conditions. Arnold
Toynbee made a scholarly assessment of this new wave of socio-economic

.... were sent to the land between
the Nueces and Rio Grande Rivers. General Taylor was ordered to protect the
Grande River. When in 1846, Mexican troops attacked them, war had commenced.
Though Mexico believed they would win easily, they were greatly wrong. The
capturing of Mexico city by the U.S. made them the conquerors over their
enemy. In consequence, the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo was made in 1848.

For Another Man's Freedom
.... at the time I am sure they believed that they were taking part
in an inconceivable historical event. I am sure that at that time they did not
realize that this would be an ongoing struggle even three-hundred years after
their existence. The soldiers entered this battle with great pride, holding
their flags high, hoping to make a difference. They did make a clearly
substantial impact on their society , but this quest for equality is still being
pursued.
This fight was not considered the only option at the time, but peaceful
talks were always considered. As society knows, peace talks are not always the
best way to get th .....

Witchcraft At Salem
.... postulate "God's doings" as the answers
to all of our unanswered questions. Are we on this earth because "God put
us here"? Was it a chance arrangement of amino acids in a molecular pool
which evolved into a human being? Or does the answer lie in some different
theory that only time will reveal? Whether it be in the case of medicine,
religion, history, or anything requiring judgement, even gossip, one must
realize that reality is impossible to pin down. Although we may be sure
that two parallel lines could never meet, there may be someone named
Lobachevski who is sure that they can.

showed the discontent of the people, and failure in communications with the
United States illustrated its discontent. Finally, opposing forces
confronted Batista's power: there were street protests, confrontations
with the police, assault, sabotage, and urban violence. This began the
revolution in Cuba.
