The History Of The Ku Klux Klan
Number of words: 2568 | Number of pages: 10.... people outside the white race and people who associated with them. Contrary to what most people believe, the Ku Klux Klan was started because of a few people wanted to have some innocent fun, not because they were intending to start a chain of violence on anyone outside the white race.(The Klan, p.2)
The Ku Klux Klan began in Pulaski, Tennessee, a small town south of Nashville. On the night of December 24, 1865 six ex-confederate soldiers were sitting around a fireplace it the law office of Judge Thomas M.

Truth And Consequences: Taking Advantage Of The Loser Of WWI
Number of words: 1065 | Number of pages: 4.... and costs incurred. Instead
of choosing to aim for long lasting peace by basing their treaty on the
Fourteen Points, Clemenceau, George, and Orlando drew up a treaty that
would cause Germany to go into a nation-wide depression and suffer for a
whole generation. This treaty became known as the Treaty of Versailles.
In looking at the treaty, one would think that the writers were
completely biased against Germany... and they would be right. Because
France, Great Britain, and Italy were the three main countries involved in
the creation of the Traety of Versailles, they used every minute detail of
the treaty to work to their ad .....

Johann Sebastian Bach 2
Number of words: 934 | Number of pages: 4.... to teach him how to play the organ. Furthermore, he won a scholarship and became part of the school choir of poor boys in Luneburg. Already seen was his sheer genius and talent that he possessed for music. Clearly, his childhood played a big factor of building a solid foundation for his music.
Bach’s heart in music does not end with his childhood but all through his career. As a master of several instruments, he became a violist in a court orchestra when he was only 18. Later, he became the organist of several churches in Arnstadt. Throughout these churches he had developed a reputation of having a brilliant musica .....

Catal Huyuk
Number of words: 893 | Number of pages: 4.... knapping, or chipping, was used to shape a stone, like flint, into a sharp tool which could be used in arrowheads. Another process that was used in making tools was called grounding. This involved using two stones one of which was struck against the other to shape it into the desired size, and then the stone was ground against another stone to make it sharp. This is often seen in ax heads and maces. Obsidian mirrors are made in the same grounding process. Bone needles used for stitching clothes were also found. My point with identifying all these different methods of making tools is that it is highly unlikely that each and e .....

Causes Of The Great Depression
Number of words: 3512 | Number of pages: 13.... the rewards of the "Coolidge Prosperity" of the 1920's were not shared evenly among all Americans. According to a study done by the Brookings Institute, in 1929 the top 0.1% of Americans had a combined income equal to the bottom 42%. That same top 0.1% of Americans in 1929 controlled 34% of all savings, while 80% of Americans had no savings at all. Automotive industry mogul Henry Ford provides a striking example of the unequal distribution of wealth between the rich and the middle-class. Henry Ford reported a personal income of $14 million in the same year that the average personal income was $750. By present day standards, wher .....

Holocaust 9
Number of words: 1980 | Number of pages: 8.... an inability to work, and even at times to talk. The Jewish people fear that it may happen again. Also a fear of uniformed police officers because of their position of power became very common. There were also many feelings
of guilt for having survived when others had not. "Why am I alive?" Why not
my sister and brother...my whole family?" The survivors had thoughts of
death, nightmares, panic attacks, and various other symptoms. Disinterest
in life, people, and sometimes even in reality played a huge role in
marital problems and suicide.
There are five main categories of Survivor syndrome. The first is the
Death impri .....

Analyzing Curse Of The Starving Class
Number of words: 500 | Number of pages: 2.... don’t come across very often. I believe Mr. Shepard wrote this play to bring a variety into the theatre, as well as writing about something he knows and has lived through. Just the fact that this story is his life memory brings feeling and passion to the script. Perhaps I’m digging this too deep, but it is one thing to make up a story, and another to actually have been there. What is the artist trying to do? In my opinion, Shepard is sharing his past, as well as offer a lesson to be learned. This story could bring about different feelings; anywhere from appreciation of what one has to complete and utter boredom. Persona .....

French War
Number of words: 964 | Number of pages: 4.... not only that the English army must fight against all the odds to win, but that even the conditions are detrimental to the English cause. The scene where Bardolph, Nym and Pistol are backing away from the battle to save themselves is an important inclusion to the film. Had Branagh intended the film to be a glorification of war, this small scene could have easily been removed. However, he chose to keep it in his film because it actually assists the message which he attempts to convey. This scene, although still clearly comical, as Shakespeare intended it to be, it implies that not all soldiers are valiant and brave and that war is .....

Number of words: 740 | Number of pages: 3.... culture. Their negative view may be amplified by their economic situation. They may be living in poor areas, going to poorer schools, and at the same time being bombarded by advertising and an unbelievable array of consumer goods.
Cuba is traditionally a Catholic country, but its Catholicism is much modified and influenced. A much stronger religious force is Santeria. Santeria developed out of the traditions of the Yoruba, one of the African peoples who were imported to Cuba during the 16th through 19th centuries to work on the sugar plantations. Santeria blends elements of Christianity and West African beliefs and as such made i .....
