The USMC came into existence on November 10, 1775 when the Continental Congress approved the appropriation of two infantry battalions designed to perform both land and maritime defense. Marines would perform tasks including “ship-to-ship fighting, provide shipboard security and discipline enforcement, and assist in landing forces” (Moore, n.d., para. 5). Tun Tavern, in Philadelphia, served as a recruiting station and Captain Samuel Nicholas, who was the first commissioned Commander of the Marine Corps, used the tavern to recruit approximately five companies consisting of 300 men per unit. Many consider Tun Tavern to be the birthplace of today’s Marine Corps. At the time of its inception, the Marine Corps was originally planned to…

Tequila is an alcoholic beverage that comes from the blue agave plant, primarily in the area surrounding the city of Tequila, hence giving it the same name. It was first produced in the 16th century near the location of the city Tequila. Aztecs previously made beverages from the agave plant long before the Spanish arrived in 1521. Around 1600, Don Pedro Sánchez de Tagle began producing Tequila at a factory in modern-day Jalisco. By 1608, the colonial governor of Nuevo Galicia had begun to tax his products. Finally Spanish King Carlos IV granted the Cuervo family the first license to commercially make Tequila.…

In Eighteenth century England a general rise in the sale of Gin was occurring. Gin was becoming more and more popular. Some English citizens approved and supported the sale of Gin while others did not. Some English people just wanted to stay neutral and produce a compromise between the two.

“Hemp is one of the oldest domesticated crops known to man. It has been used for paper, textiles, and cordage for thousands of years.” (Hempsters pg. 1) However, none of this matters because hemp is a cannabis which means that it falls under the same laws as marijuana even though they are two very different plants. And though marijuana, for medical and some recreational uses, has started making breakthroughs on state laws and some federal laws while hemp has barely broken through state laws. But both are still both illegal according to federal law. However, hemp could essentially become a cash crop for the United States if it were legalized to be grown…
In eighteenth-century England, the English saw a huge rise in the popularity and sale of Gin. Gin slowly (from 1701 to 1751) gained much favor over beer and peeked in 1741 out consuming beer times six (Doc.1). As Gin sales started to take over the sale of beer, the government saw this as an opportunity to make taxes and restraints on the sale of Gin to benefit the government. As this persisted, The Gin Act of 1751 was instated. This act is one way that the government made sure that Gin sale did not get out of hand. Although in the preamble of the Gin Act of 1751 it states that Parliament assembled, ever attentive to the preservation and health of your Majesty’s subjects, I believe that Parliament had a more financial goal rather than health goal. As these restraints and taxes were brought upon people who produced Gin, there were mixed feelings on how these restraints would affect the community and the common welfare of the people. Citizens used many aspects of society to gain ground behind their opinions on the restrictions on the sale of Gin. Many citizens were in fact for the restraints because of the occupation they worked, the religion they belonged to, or the position they held in government. Other citizens felt the exact opposite. Many felt that the restrictions of Gin sale were not just and would not allow for citizens “relief or support of nature” (Doc.8). Others were pushing towards a more neutral view on if Gin was bad or good. This type of people was indirectly affected by the sale of Gin but wanted to have their opinions stated.…
