.... the Mississippi river, and the Missouri River.. When the South began their moves on Northern Naval bases and ship yards on the James, they had no idea what they were about to unleash. After the seizing of Union shipyards, the Confederate Navy was several times stronger than it had previously been. Using the strategic positions they had gained, some good horse sense from their commanders, and a whole lot of luck, the South managed to turn the tables on the Northern water forces.

.... density of the Universe in its first moment of life is thought to have been 1094g/cm3 with the majority of this being radiation. For each billion pairs of these heavy particles (hadrons) that were created, one was spared annihilation due to particle-antiparticle collisions. The remaining particles constitute the majority of our universe today (Novikov). During this creation and annihilation of particles the universe was undergoing a rate of expansion many times the speed of light. Known as the inflationary epoch, the universe in less than one thousandth of a second doubled in size at least one hundred times, from an atomic nucleus .....

.... transgressors.” The most interesting and ironic evidence that Mary Rolandson’s narrative provides about the Native American experience during the King Phillip’s War can best be described in a quote in the article “Come Along With US”. “ The Lasting legacy of Mary Rolandson’s dramatic, eloquent, and fantastically popular narrative of captivity and redemption is the nearly complete veil it has unwittingly placed over the experiences of bondage endured by Algonquin Indians during the King Phillips War.” In Mary Rolandson’s account we only read of all the hardships and trials that Mary underwent.

.... use of capital—physical plant and equipment produced for the express purpose of increasing efficiency.

The growth of specialization and the application of capital to industrial production created new class distinctions. New social and vocational classes emerged that were distinguished from workers by virtue of their ownership or control of the physical means of production. The members of these new class .....
