The Great White Fleet successfully returns after the longest fleet cruise every undertaken by a Navy. In 1907, American relations with Japan were growing increasingly concerning due to the influx of Japanese immigrant labor along the west coast which triggered a lot of discrimination by American working men.

In response to this, President Theodore Roosevelt took a number of measures recommended to him by the Joint Board of the Army and the Navy. This…

Unlike many of the Civil War governors who were elected in and out of office while the war was in full swing, Joseph E. Brown served as the governor of Georgia throughout the entire Civil War era, from 1857 to 1865. His influence, thus, is broad, ranging from the conflicts leading up to the war and the secession of the southern states to the defeat of the Confederacy. His voice, which continuously advocated for states’ rights, called first for the secession of the southern states out of the Union and then, in turn, resisted against the Confederacy, opposing the Confederate draft. Brown’s extreme zeal for the principle of states’ rights was undoubtedly the principle over which the Civil War was fought, but in all practicality, he regarded that…

This lens can influence a reader’s interpretation of spiritual practices, creating a biased body of knowledge. Often, mass generalizations are then made about diverse groups of indigenous people.

During the 1858 Illinois state election, debates between Stephen. A Douglas and Abraham Lincoln began, due to campaign for seats in the state senate. This mostly consisted of the issue of extension of slavery into other territories. The debate that originally came up nearly 40 years before was eventually set to rest in the Missouri Compromise, but I guess it managed to arise again. The mexican war added new territories and the issue arose again in the 1840's.…
During WWII, Japanese Americans were interned in unsanitary camps all over the West Coast; which was a major violation of their civil rights as American citizens, because they did not have freedom to choose where to live and had to be sent away, due to race.

Civil war The Civil War was fought in two central geographical locations: the East, where a large portion of the fighting took place in Virginia; and the West, where most of the combat took place in the area amid the Appalachian Mountains and the Mississippi River. This war began as a limited war, between soldiers, with a motive of restoring peace and unity to the nation.

In today’s society, people are significantly embracing the style of body modification. It appears that no matter where one is in the world, it is impossible to evade the reality of body art; the appearance of tattoos and piercings. It has become a fundamental part of our society. Appearance norms make people look similar and people break the rules and violate appearance expectations. Some of these deviants form deviant communities. These communities are driven by the need to achieve social cohesion and inclusion. There is much debate about why people modify, manipulate and mutilate their bodies involving tattoos and piercings. There are two main reasons that a functionalist would approach to understand this deviant behavior. First, tattoos and piercings give people a group membership in a deviant community, helping promote self identification.

Although tattoos and piercings increase a person’s acceptance into a deviant community, it also, increases rejection in a conventional community. (Tepperman, 2010)…
