Sanger Rainsford, a millionaire hunter on trial for the alleged murder of General Zaroff, has stated that he, along with many Spanish sailors, were “held captive in this island, kept in constant fear, worrying about being found, and most likely dying. The general kept on telling me [Rainsford] these stories about how no sailor survived his game. It was like I was just the next person in line to be killed by some superior being, like an animal at a slaughterhouse.”…
Do you know of a magnificent place known as Providence Canyon? If you have not noticed the federal government is going to make a decision about how the canyon is going to be a national park. I think, in my opinion, the government should make Providence Canyon a national park. If Providence Canyon were a state park only the people of that state can only visit, but if it were a national park, people would see how magnificent the canyon really is.…

I agree that actions committed by the United States on the southeastern American Indians was ethnic cleansing. While viewing the assigned video, I determined two examples of ethnic cleansing. The passing of laws in Georgia restricting the land in which the Cherokee were allowed to inhabit served to concentrate them in a single area for the means of subjugation. Further laws were passed deeming the meeting of leading members to be illegal. Federal agents were also sent in to coerce Cherokee leaders into further giving up parts of their land. Arguably the most widely known evidence of racial cleansing revolves around the Trail of Tears. The Trail of Tears refers to the forced march of multiple Native American tribes to new lands predetermined by the U.S. government.…
Some say the war of Indians did not end until after a 71 day standoff February 28th, 1973 at Wounded Knee against Indians and the American government in a protest. The Indians were fighting for their treaty rights (Wounded Knee the Longest War). The Indians wanted the world to see what it was like to be them, to live in poverty and feel racism as well as being powerless against the government. The elder women were just as involved in the standoff as men. The Indians had demands such as the United States should recognize the Oglala government and an investigation of the Oglala Tribal President Dick Wilson. They had a total of 20 demands, all of which was nothing done about. Two people died and one person was paralyzed as a result of the siege (1973).…
The Anti-Federalists believe that the government should not have too much power over us as a nation, due to having no desire of a repeat of British Rule, which claimed absolute rights over us as citizens, rather wanting to have additional control over their daily lives, rather than have someone control it for them. While the Federalists wanted a strong government, the Anti-Federalists did not trust British Rule not to happen again. We are opponents of the ratification of the U.S. Constitution, we as Anti-Federalists have diverse factions, such as supporters like the Articles of Confederation supporters, or the opponents to the Constitution.? Confusing thesis…
¨All men are created equal,¨ according to the Declaration of Independence. But, based on the government’s actions, this was not the case when it came to Indian Removal. When the government issued the Indian Removal act in 1830, there were two clear sides: one that supported it, and one that despised it. After the Supreme Court ruled against it, the wrongness of it became manifest. However, it still continued. The United States was not justified in enabling the Indian Removal Act.…
The Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 was of the most powerful natural disasters of the 1900’s in 11 states along the Mississippi River from Illinois to Louisiana. The flood lasted from the beginning of April, through May, June and July and finally ended in August. During the flood, the river got to be as wide as 80 miles in some places and submerged residential areas in as much as 30 feet of water. The flood affected multiple states and the country in countless ways. Some of the ways it changed the country was in a social and political way. It brought the continuous mistreatment of African Americans once again apparent. It also devastated many states in economic and personal ways. Homes and businesses were destroyed, loved ones were lost and whole towns were devastated. Nearly 200 flood related deaths were reported and close to 5 billion dollars of property damage was caused. Two of the main states affected by the flood were Arkansas and Mississippi, especially in Washington County.…
It was a regular day. Cleaning, cooking, caring for the young. Displaying and obeying the role of a women. I longed for some excitement. Alast, in September 1864 I thought I found the excitement I felt so deprived of. Confederation. The thought of being involved in something important was splendid. I thought of different ways I could intertwine my knowledge to support the idea of confederation. Although I was in favour of Confederation, I didn't have the political right to broadcast my opinion. Being a women had its cons. No matter how effective my words were, they didn't matter. Mens words would always overshadow mine.…
People in Chicago are just like everybody else but they are getting judged on their skin tone. How would you feel if people would think you are a robber or a criminal just because your a colored person in a nice car. People are getting thrown into jail for some crime they didn’t commit and be in jail for years knowing they are innocent. These people could be just as smart as Albert Einstein but because they are colored they would never be able to show the world. People are getting tortured and being thrown in jail. If people traded skin they would see what they are doing is wrong and would also try to stop this racial profiling.…
