.... on March 1, 1692. In January of 1692, the daughter and niece of Reverend Samuel Parris became very ill. When she failed to improve, the village doctor, William Griggs, was called in. After much deliberation, Griggs concluded that the problem was witchcraft. This put into motion the forces that would ultimately result in the death of nineteen men and women. In addition to those nineteen people, one man named Giles Corey was crushed to death. Seventeen others died in prison and the lives of many were irrevocably changed. To better understand the events of the Salem witch trials, it is necessary to understand the time period in whi .....

.... which was the only place suitable to support agriculture. As the Bantu moved eastward into savannas, they learned new techniques from herding goats and sheep to raising cattle. Some farming methods exhausted the land, and the search for fertile soil kept them on the move. Territorial wars broke out as the Bantu speakers spread south. The Bantu speakers also intermarried with the people they joined. This intermingling created new cultures with unique customs and traditions. Effects of the migration still affect Africa today with over 60 million people who speak one of the hundreds of Bantu languages. Beginning in about 1,000 BC an .....

.... never paid back. As for Watergate - though it was revealed by the Senate Watergate committee as an unprecedented abuse of presidential power that was extremely dangerous to the country, it is remembered 25 years later as a strange and unsuccessful burglary in the Watergate office building by people linked to the reelection committee of Nixon. But Watergate was so much more than a political burglary. The Senate hearings showed Watergate was composed of constant criminality by the Nixon White House, and was driven by an extreme commitment to maintain control of power by any means, including criminal conduct. It included the break-in .....

.... and painful memories of black churches being burned in my own state when I was a child.” Ironically, historians and civil rights activists in Arkansas could find no mention of any church arsons in the state during his childhood. Furthermore, Al Gore was quoted “For a very large number of the burnings, what you will find ultimately, I predict, is that a common thread of underlying racism is present.”(Elven 2) “The had all the makings of a great story: mystery, race, religion and an eerie echo of the past.”(Heyboer 1). Michael Fumento a journalist for the Wall Street Journal wrote, “It appears that the public may be .....

.... colonies, which placed monetary control of public funds with the colonial assemblies. Thus, he focuses on actions of both sides from then until the beginning of the War. He argues that the British dependence of American trade and the Colonies’ phenomenal population growth only intensified Americans’ desire to control their own destiny. Draper, widely recognized as one of the most important historians, makes a clear and bold argument about one of the most critical events in our nation’s past. Draper shows that the American Revolution was not a contrast of ideologies, but a struggle for power between the power the Bri .....

.... Clipper. In March 1940, after a report on U.S. Navy Pacific Bases declared Midway second only to Pearl Harbor in importance, construction of a formal naval air station began.

.... of Florence, Papal of Rome and the Doges of Venice. The Renaissance period also made progress in medicine, anatomy, mathematics, and especially astronomy. Geography was transformed by new knowledge gained from explorations. The invention of the printing press was also created, which made knowledge easier to achieve and literacy became more wide spread. Gunpowder transformed warfare. In political subjects Renaissance theorists like Machiavelli said that the central task of government was to maintain security and peace, not preserve liberty and justice. Religion especially changed during the Renaissance. In the Middle ages peop .....

.... chorus. The trumpet and sax together here sound really fabulous. The two match each other with amazing accuracy. Following the chorus Charlie launches right into a solo. This solo shows Parker's command of his instrument. He is able to pack his solos full of information. He is double-timing through most of the set. He slides up and down pitches, is all over the range of his horn and uses a stop time to build tension near the end of his solo. With the end of Parker's solo, Pomeroy takes over and plays a solo on his trumpet. The notes Pomeroy plays strike me as intentional and deliberate. It seems that each not .....

.... sends out demands to the Germans. He demands a formal apology from Germany, money damages to the families of American victims that boarded the Lusitania, and he had made a remark that said, “ The U.S. Government shall demand that the German Government pledge to follow international law with regard to the use of their submarines. Any future violation of international law shall be regarded as a deliberately unfriendly action against the United States.” After this, President Wilson asks for an increase in military spending, but the Congress had refused. The Germans abide by this for 10 months. After these 10 months, in March .....

.... growing influence in all branches of government 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 .....
