2. Oswald’s fingerprints were on cartons and boxes by the w .....

The American Revolution
.... theory of mercantilism, which held that colonies existed for the benefit of the mother country.” (Bailey 92) The Mercantile system was certainly not a new idea, it was already used by French and Spanish as a way of profiting more from their colonies. The Mercantile system was a way of ensuring that England exported more than it imported. The colonies would supply the raw materials and to England, which would turn them in to finished goods, and export them. The colonies would also furnish products needed by the British, and buy British goods instead of those from other countries.

Not Only Impeach, Remove From Office
.... was also examined. When he was interrogated about his and Ms. Lewinsky's relationship, he was quick to lie under oath. This is simply perjury. Others may argue that Mr. Clinton did not actually perjure himself. They believe that he did not honestly feel that he had a sexual relationship with Ms. Lewinsky. This is an outrage! How many Americans would allow their spouse to wonder around town engaging in oral sex with random people? Regardless, do we really want a man who does not think oral sex is sex to lead our free world? I say no. The United States Congress has an obligation to this great nation of ours too not only impe .....

Franklin Roosevelt And The Holocaust
.... believer of the Wagner\Rogers bill, which if passed by congress would have given twenty- thousand Jewish children freedom into the U.S. However, this bill never found its way to FDR's desk.
Anti-Semitism in America was at an all time high during this time, maybe one reason why the Wagner\Rogers bill never passed through congress. Individuals like Brechenridge Long of the State Department, and Assistant Secretary of the War Department, John McCloy, were both anti-Jewish. Both of them did little to help the Jews; they often withheld important rescue and death camp news from FDR. Why should FDR be accountable for informat .....
