How successful was Peel as leader of the Conservatives in the period 1834-41? During the period of 1834 to 1841 Peel in fact only spent 100 days in office. His first ministry earned the name of the “100 day Ministry” and yet he may have done more in those 100 days for the success for his party than many politicians may have done in a lifetime. Not only did he make great progress for the Conservative Party during his brief premiership‚ which followed the dismissal of Lord Melbourne by William IV

First of all‚ I’m a big fan of the original two‚ maybe three Friday the 13th films. Four was alright. Then they started getting ridiculous.

Therefore‚ it was necessary to stop the war because it saved thousands of American lives. Until then‚ the fight had never been on United States soil. Innocent civilians did not have to worry about being killed on their land until the infamous day: December 7‚ 1941‚ the attack of Pearl Harbor. On that day‚ the Japanese arrived in

watched a documentary on Netflix called 13th. This film discusses the issue of racism in the United States criminal justice system; specifically relating to how the 13th amendment transformed the view of African Americans from slaves to criminals. I thought the film was very thought-provoking and had strong concepts. Whoever named the movie 13th deserves a raise because that is the best title ever imagined. During the movie they follow the timeline of events in history starting in the slave era. They mention
