.... backgrounds varied between the colonists. A lot of people came to get away from England and their bureaucratic and insufficient way of governing. In the colonies there was no aristocracy. No nobles, no lords enforcing the King’s laws were present. The colonists were mainly working class people. They made their own means for survival. They had ventured on to a new continent just hoping to start anew. And they did. In 1619 the House of Burgesses was formed to make laws for the colonies. Virginia was the birthplace of democracy. The Fundamental Orders of Connecticut were the first written “constitution” in Eng .....

.... there was a lot more that made their colonies different from others. For example, the Puritans came for religious freedom, and to create “A city upon a hill”. They left England because they felt the Anglican Church too closely resembled the Catholic Church, and they could only practice their religion underground, or they would be punished. To them, this was unacceptable, so they fled to Holland, and eventually came to Massachusetts Bay in America. Puritan society was completely based on religion, in which their main belief was predestination. There was no separation of church and state, schools were set up to teach children t .....

.... because of the Geneva Convention. This almost or is the same with Serbian at that time. They protect there people because they do not want to punish a nationalist just because he was being patriotic. They probably shot Austria-Hungry leader, because the plan that Austria-Hungry want to take over your territory. Ask yourself this ,would you punish your son or daughter who shot a burglar before he/she/it entered your house? In Kosovo, United States View is that Serbian doing things the wrong way. In are nation cleansing ones race in a area is just not the way to go. Serbians view of it is that the Albanians took that .....

.... under pressure. The Spanish used surrounding enemy tribes to take over the Aztec lands, then began to massacre men, women and children. When the Aztec became angry and started to fight back, they were quickly wrecked by the diseases the Spanish brought with them such as small pox and measles. The Spanish were immune to these diseases because they were well known in Europe and they had been exposed to them for years, but the Aztecs weren’t so entire villages were wiped out in just few weeks which cleared the way for the Spanish to entirely conquer and destroy the Aztec empire. Leon-Portilla based the stories told in this book upon .....

.... holds a much more loyal following than slavery, in which case slavery will be given up as a practice. Douglass also quotes from Psalms 137:1-6, and the ludicrous concept that slaveholders expect their slaves to be joyous in their state of bondage is the essential meaning of the passage he chooses as it relates to the comparable situation of the Babylonians’ captives (442). His persuasive appeal in this case is the notion that any pious Christian would have sympathy for the lamenting captives and contempt for the captors in the Psalms passage. If this assumption is correct, then the same pious Christians surely should .....

.... they were people who practiced mixed farming with a heavy emphasis on herding and because they saw only very few domesticated animals in the new land, the Europeans began the action of importing Old World domesticated animals, such as the pig, cow, and horse. This action could most definitely be described as "the greatest biological revolution in the Americas since the end of the Pleistocene era." The Europeans had no idea as to what they unleashed upon the New World when they introduced their domesticated animals. Many of these animals flourished in the new environment beyond the wildest hopes of their European masters. The ani .....

.... is also important to study the period for better insight into the countries modernization. Before the country modernized, the system ruling over the civilization was one very similar to those which once ruled over European societies. The periods preceding the Tokugawa Japan were known specifically by their feudal nature. Much like the medieval years of Britain and of Europe, the Japanese feudal system was based on survival of the strongest. What this implies is that whoever had the strongest army supporting them would hold the most power (Nnakane). In this type of system, there was constant battling among different factions to .....

.... the Vietnamization, there might have been a South Vietnam today. I feel that the U.S. should have never been involved in the war in the first place, however, under the unavoidable circumstances we should have stayed in South Vietnam and helped the country defend themselves on something we made them believe in. We poured so many resources into the war fighting for a cause that many Americans and people in general did not believe in, and to retreat from the South Vietnamese when they needed America’s help the most was very unfair. The Perspectives By comparing the views of Von Don’s Our Endless War Inside Vietnam and some views .....

.... Sahure, his throne, and the nome rise from the stone block that makes up the background and the base of the statue in high relief. This statue is a relief statue because it cannot be viewed from behind, probably because it was originally carved in to a block of stone in the wall of a temple and later removed by archaeologists. The inflexibility of the poses of the figures in the sculpture provides another reason for the overall rigidity of the statue. In general, poses of less important people in the culture depicted by ancient Egyptian statuary are more active than those of significance. Most important people in Ancient Egyptia .....

.... to capture the food producing area of the Ukraine. By now, the Germans were thrilled with their fast advancements and initial success, including the fact that they had captured over 400 000 Russian soldiers. In late July, the advance on Leningrad and Moscow slowed, with forces moving south to capture Kiev and the Ukraine. While Germans generals wanted to make Moscow the primary target so that a final battle could take place to crush the red Army, Hitler believed that seizing territory was more important. The German army once again succeeded here, with the Ukraine being captured along with 600 000 Russian prisoners. With this su .....
