In the first part of the book, John Weaver, gives background information, which leads up to the event. Weaver talks about how the Texans felt when it came to the 25th Infantrymen arriving at Fort Brown. Instead of being rather accepting of the arrival of a US battalion, the townspeople were racist stating, “ The colored fellows will have to behave themselves or we will get rid of them.”(22) Weaver goes on to explain other racial prejudices the soldiers faced at Fort Brown.…

Ancient Romans were the first to invent and use concrete for buildings and other architectural use. It put them ahead of other empires due to the fact that they could now use concrete to create and make buildings stronger and able to support more weight. Concrete is the reason domes are made possible today. The Romans were the first society to manufacture roads for military purposes. “All roads lead to Rome” is an expression used to show how every road in Europe branches out of Rome. We still use most Roman inventions today. Han China, on the other hand, also greatly benefited the world with the creation of many smaller but still widely used items. The wheelbarrow, for example, may not have had a huge impact on society at the time, but still we use it for many tasks today. The Chinese in the Han Empire also invented paper which is…
The Romans were great diplomats. They were firm when necessary and smart about granting citizenship. They also let citizens participate in domestic affairs. Their military was made up of strong, persistent soldiers. If a substantial amount of men were lost in battle they wouldn’t just surrender, but instead recruit new soldiers. They would build up new armies so that they could keep fighting. The Romans were also good strategists. By the year 264 BCE Rome had established colonies in strategic spots throughout Italy. By connecting these settlements with roads, they built a military and communication network that helped them rule more effectively. By getting military help from allies, they mobilized Italy’s military…

On the last years of Rome, the Roman Empire faced many problems. The Romans suffered from inflation, unemployment, and barbarian invasion. Inflation was the rise in prices of food and water. Since the food and water was so expensive, the poor couldn’t buy it so they died or had hard times living without food. Unemployment was a big problem in the Roman Empire. Most of the poor and farmers did not have any jobs so they over crowded the cities, overcrowding of the cities was bad for the rich and the poor. The barbarian invasion was horrible, since they burned roman houses and killed many of the citizens. The barbarians were Germanic tribes that invaded Rome to destroy their land. The Roman had many accomplishments during their time. Many of the accomplishment were making concrete, creating aqueducts, having a good government, created the column, and having indoor plumbing. The concrete was to build roads, buildings, and vaults. We use concrete to build most stuff today too. Romans also had aqueducts that brought clean and fresh water to the cities. Today we use aqueducts to hold water. They also had a very stable government. Thru Roman Republic was very good, they also had judges who judged fairly. The Romans also had columns that hold their buildings up. On the columns the Romans usually carved pictures on it. Indoor plumbing was also one of the Romans accomplishments. The Romans waste goes through the sewers and in to the Tiber River. Today the Roman Empire influences our community with their building with concrete, there buildings, and the construction of aqueduct. Today we use concrete to build most of our buildings, walls and some roads, but most of our roads today are made out of asphalt. The Roman buildings were very prestigious designs. Today we use most of the Roman designs to build pure materials. We mostly use their designs on buildings. Today we use an aqueduct to preserve our water. We also use it to keep animals in too, or to keep…

The Romans well known for being one of the most famous fighting forces in world history, but also known for their marvelous architectures. They utilized art and architecture to be useful. Romans built roads, aqueducts, public baths, etc. One of the most memorable Roman constructions made with concrete was the Flavian Amphitheater where hundreds of people used gather to watch gladiator fight. The art and architecture of Roman were emphasis on memory because when emperors ordered to sculptures for a public place, they wanted to tell future generations of the greatness of Rome and its Emperors.…
Texas the wildcard of the Deep South widely diverse economically, politically, and culturally, these three factors are what make up the great state of Texas, as we know it today. These factors also are what set Texas apart as a state compared to all the others on her boarders, and in the nation. The two party political systems in Texas has defined Texas since the late 1800’s from Democratic to Republican, each having a predominant rule, but Texas was changing faster than the parties could keep Texans happy. The Democratic Party had a strong hold on Texas and her political stance, simply because the Democratic Party was the party for the white male.…

Greece and Rome were two separate countries by different ethnic formed. It was not until 146 B.C., Greece was conquered by Rome, but long before that, Roman absorbed many achievements of Greek civilization. After Greece was entered into the Roman Empire, the influence of Greek civilization on Roman was tronger ever. Greek culture laid the foundation for the Roman Empire. The Roman people wanted to be like the Greek people. In my personal opinion Architecture, is one of the most important contributions that Rome has had to the humanistic tradition. The works of Roman architecture including the wall, temple shrines, palaces, theaters, triumphal…
There is much controversy when determining whether Roman rule benefited the entire empire, or just the city of Rome and Italy. There are more facts that point toward Roman rule benefiting the whole empire, not just Rome and Italy. The roads built throughout the empire were an advantage to everyone, the education system was fair to Roman children, and trading was active all over the Roman Empire.…
