The Sioux tribe believed that courage and bravery were weighed as well as the intelligent mind. Young Sioux boys were sent to spend .....

.... time. In the beginning, the men wanted to do nothing more than play pranks on people. However, the people were more frightened than they were cheered up. They soon realized what they could do with these fear tactics. The South had turned into a place that was no longer theirs. The slaves were now free (many of these men were slave owners) and carpetbaggers were coming from the North to take advantage of the southern people. They saw the opportunity to set back the South to what it had been. The KKK soon began to ride through political rallies of the carpetbaggers. People often fled the rallies out of fear.

.... installation of an international peacekeeping force. National Security Advisor, Henry Kissinger, believed these demands were just a smokescreen intended to put off the talks long enough for the new United States Congress to come into session. He and Nixon feared, as written in Earl Tilford’s book Setup-What the Air Force did in Vietnam and Why, that the Democratic controlled congress would “legislate the United States out of the war... and give Hanoi a better peace agreement by default”. (Tilford: 253) Nixon wanted to wrap up the peace talks before that happened. How could the United States accomplish in two months what .....

.... Spain had given in to America's demands. He didn't want to look like a coward to the American people. He was also afraid that resisting war would cost Republicans control of Congress in the fall elections. The battle for the Philippines was very important to the war. This is where Spain's fleet was. The US took it out. This was very important because now, Spain only had its land crew. This was one of the factors that ended the war. The US military was far too small. However, there were many voluntary groups that were able to go to war for their country. One of which was led be Teddy Roosevelt was the Rough Riders. They were a vo .....

Hebrew religion, being monotheistic, had only one all-powerful god. Instead of being believed by the people to be somewhere in the world, the Hebrew god was completely separated from the physical universe. Abraham in Canaan (about 1800 BC) is the first known practicer of monotheism.

.... out the nuclear fission information from a German physicist named Leo Szilard. He then told it to President Franklin D. Roosevelt and urged him to start an investment toward atomic research. 3The research would then help construct an atomic weapon of mass destruction. Roosevelt was not especially concerned about investing in atomic weapon research because he didn't plan on getting involved in the War. When Pearl Harbor was attacked by the Japanese, Roosevelt entered the war and sent significant funds to the construction of the atomic weapon. Roosevelt speeded up the process of research by having General Groves setup a committe .....

.... deceived me and by it killed me. So the law is holy, and the commandment is holy and just and good (Romans 7:7-12). Clearly in this passage, Paul is blaming sin on the Law. Paul states that without the Law there would be no sin and that the Law brought about sin. "In other words, it is law that makes us both conscious of, and responsible for, sin" (Knox 59). If there had been no law then there would be no sin because the actions of man have no restrictions. "Sin indeed was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not counted where there is no law" (Romans 5:13). The law gives upon man restrictions that they m .....
