Huey P Long Qualities
Huey P. Long was a very determined, intelligent man and politician. The attribute that no one can deny in Long was his ambition. From the beginning of his career, he was headed to the top. His brash personality and stubbornness were what some people tended to dislike. He acted as he pleased and never apologized for his actions. His determination was best depicted in the fact that he taught himself law after dropping out of high and was eventually recognized by the Bar Association.
Long did a lot for the state of Louisiana during his term as governor and as state senator. His entire term as governor was focused on an extensive program of public works. He greatly succeeded in increasing the living conditions in the overall state of Louisiana.

    George Washington: American Soldier and Statesman

    I believe that one of the best traits about George Washington and something that many Americans admire him for is the way that he could think fast on his feet, and stay calm in tough situations. He was in many situations where he had to do this wether it was making a decision about the law, trying to settle one of Jefferson and Hamilton’s disagreements, or even making the decision to free his slaves.

    Ulysses S. Grant was the 18th president of the United States. In the book, “Cigar, Whiskey and Winning”, it highlights his management skills during the Civil War as he lead the Union Army to defeat the Confederate Army. When he was younger, Grant attended West Point. He was not the brightest student, but he did enjoy reading. After he graduated, he became second lieutenant in an infantry regiment. In the book it showed him taking advantages of opportunities to rise to victory. He had gotten married and began to feel like his work with the Army was not important, so he resigned from the Army.

    Daniel Robert Graham: Great Candidates

    Daniel Robert Graham once quoted “I describe governor as being a quarterback”. This means if a person makes a right decision they are an excellent governor however if they do not make the right decision they won’t be considered a good governor. I relate this to my report because if I write an outstanding report I get a great grade on the other hand if I make a poor decision my grade will not be as good. He was an important figure to Florida because he made a difference to the Floridians by leading a way in creating a number of environmental programs during his years as governor and also he did a lifetime of service. In addition he became a senator for the United States of America.…

    James K. Polk Dbq

    A man who was called a “dark horse” for his weakness in the presidential run, James Knox Polk was clearly the opposite. Serving as the Governor of Tennessee and the eleventh president, Polk was a man of politics. Expanding the borders of the United States, adding three states to the Union, and starting the Naval Academy clearly showed how misinterpreting he was. All of these accomplishments Polk had in his presidency came from his education from college, becoming one of the strongest presidents of America before the Civil War.…

    History of Huey Newton

    In the late 1960's and early '70's posters of the Black Panther Party's co-founder, Huey P. Newton were taped and plastered on walls of college dorm rooms nation-wide. Wearing a black beret and a leather jacket, sitting on a wicker chair, a spear in one hand and a rifle in the other, the poster portrayed Huey Newton as a symbol of his generation's anger and courage. He was a symbol of anger and courage in the face of racism and the class in which blacks were placed. His intellect and leadership abilities were the key components that served in the establishment the Black Panthers. Newton played an instrumental role in refocusing civil rights activists to the problems of urban Black communities. He triggered the rage and frustration of urban Blacks in order to address social injustice. However, the FBI's and White America's fear of the Panthers aggressive actions would not only drive the Panthers apart, but be responsible for the false information regarding its programs and accomplishments. In spite of the advances Huey Newton contributed towards equality in the early sixties, historians have paid so much attention to Malcolm X and Martin Luther King that he is often overlooked. The Panthers and Huey Newton's leadership of the Party are as important to the Black freedom struggle as the more known leaders of the Civil Rights Movement. Any typical American history textbook not only neglects to mention Huey Newton but too disregards the existence of the Black Panthers altogether.…
