.... their independence. They stared down the lions throat and managed to escape with only a few scars and should be honorably admired for their integrity and will to fight for what is right. The african americans were frustrated by the unending prejudice, racism, and unequality received from the "white man." When Rosa Parks was asked to give up her seat to a white woman, she refused because she was frustrated with the treatment that african americans revieved. In her heart and in the heart of the good, she did the right thing because she was facing injustice. I whole heartedly agree and believe that the non-violence tactic will get y .....

.... from the states Chief Justice to President Lincoln. http://www.eduplace.com/rdg/gen_act/travel/pony1.html The telegraph line only went as far west as St. Joseph, Missouri in 1860. It was 2,000 miles from St. Joseph to the west coast as Sacramento, California. It took over months for messages to be carried by ships, wagon trains, or stage coaches to reach California. They needed a faster way for mail and messages to get to the west coast. A system of horse riders, called the Pony Express was started. The riders would bring the mail quicker. The first rider of the Pony Express left St. Joseph, Missouri, on April 3, 1860. Th .....

.... result he missed out on a potential friendship. On account of their having no basis in reality, all preconceptions are wrong. As Marlow can surely attest, having a slanted conception disproved can be a hard truth to accept. Marlow goes into the darkness of Africa with the belief that the natives are savages, but seeing the starving natives chained to trees forces him to discard his idea that they are savages. He actually feeds one of the slaves. He constantly marvels at their restraint, which went against the stories he had heard in Europe. At certain points he even seems to realize that his own men show little restraint beca .....

.... severely weakened, they continued to work together in international affairs. In all of this, Germany had been effected the most economically, especially because the war was held mainly in Germany. As a center of trade before the war, Germany had suddenly become robbed of its resources economically after the war. During the war, soldiers pillaged the farms and houses of the Germans. The lustrous land Germany once had became unusable after the war because the land was burned and fought on. Agriculture and trade was halted in all of Europe because there weren't enough people to rebuild and regrow the crops. A seve .....

.... such as the Panthers pictured above, favored peaceful means of achieving equality unless violence was necessary for defense. The lists of courageous men and women who struggled for equality can be quite long. However, it is obvious that the picture of the Panthers lack the presence of women. This failure to acknowledge women in the Panther picture represents the Civil Rights Movement as a whole. With a few exceptions, African American women generally do not receive the credit they deserve for their impact in the 1960’s Civil Rights Movement. When thinking about the most famous civil rights activists of the 1960’s the number .....

.... War. In the reprint of the article "What Started the War", from August 17, 1915 issue of The Clock magazine published on the Internet the author writes: "It is thought that this war that is been ongoing for over a year, began with the assassination of the Archduke Francis Ferdinand. However, many other reasons led to this war, some occurring as far back the late 1800's. Nationalism, militarism, imperialism, and the system of alliances were four main factors that pressed the great powers towards this explosive war." According to the article above, the author stresses that the nationalism was one of the primary c .....

.... did not, then the public would not accept anything that came out of this convention. Roche also says that there were those that wanted a monarchy or a different type of government other than what the Articles of Confederation provided. Some representatives wanted a more centralized form of government, meaning that, more power would be given to the National Government. Others wanted the majority of the power to remain with the states. The reason being that people did not want a government that was like Britain’s. With this entire situation going on, how were the representatives going to form a new government? Roche sa .....

.... the winter they pulled back into the interior forests for protection and hunting. However, they did return to the same part of the forests, coasts and waterfalls where their former camps had been. Although the Abenaki culture bent to the seasons, they dramatically shaped their surrounding environments. The Abenaki tribes would change the location of the campsites every ten to fifteen years due to a variety of reasons. The southern Abenaki tribes who performed some sort of agriculture would experience severe soil exhaustion after a decade of farming that particular piece of land. The Abenaki required enormous amounts of wood for cam .....

.... 154) shows this when he says "Such marriages, where the groomcomes to live in the bride's band, are called 'matrilocal'." Leacock (1971, p. 21) reveals that "...prevailing opinion is that hunting societies would be patrilocal.... Matrilineality, it is assumed, followed the emergence of agriculture...." Leacock (p. 21) then stated that she had found the Montagnais-Naskapi, a hunting society, had been matrilocal until Europeans stepped in. "The Tanoan Pueblos kinship system is bilateral. The household either is of the nuclear type or is extended to include relatives of one or both parents...." (Dozier, 1971, p. 237) The sta .....

.... made sure that the girls lived by strict moral standards. The girls were encouraged to go to church, to read, to write and to attend lectures. They saved part of their earnings to help their families at home or to use when they got married. The young factory workers did not earn high wages; the average pay was about $3.50 a week. But in those times, a half-dozen eggs cost five cents and a whole chicken cost 15 cents. The hours worked in the factories were long. Generally, the girls worked 11 to 13 hours a day, six days a week. But most people in the 1830s worked from dawn until dusk, and farm girls were used to getting up early an .....
