�PAGE � �PAGE �1� THE WAR OF 1812: THE AMERICANS WERE JUSTIFIED Over the years The United States of America has forged itself a reputation of declaring wars. Ironically‚ declaration of war was most justified in one of its least acknowledged conflicts‚ the War of 1812. The United States was justified in its attack on British North America‚ which was a colony of Great Britain at the time.

The french revolution began in 1789 as an attempt to form a new government in france its was a revolution that did not follow a simple path. Was the reign of terror justified or not justified.

In my opinion‚ in Edgar Allan Poe’s story “The Cask of Amontillado” Montresor’s actions cannot be justified in any way‚ first of all Montresor deceived Fortunato and rather than dueling the man or taking matters into the laws hands‚ he did not even give Fortunato a chance to contest.

Equality… for all or for some? In 1830‚ all of the Indians except for some of the Cherokee signed the Treaty of New Etocha. This treaty‚ was between a small group of Cherokee and the U.S. government where they agreed to leave. Most of the Cherokee refused to leave their land. The Indian Removal Act of 1830 should not be justified because the Americans and Indians have an abysmal‚ the americans gave the Indians bad land‚ and the Indians were there first.

assassination is a perfect example of backstabbing. Malcom X was a civil rights leader for the nation of Islam. The assassination of Malcom x was justified because members of the nation of Islam saw Malcom as a threat after his departure and many thought Malcom X’s way of protest was dangerous and put many lives in danger. However Malcom was a man who fought for blacks to be the superior race “at any means necessary.” After Malcom was released from jail he went to the nation of Islam to work with

Can breaking the law ever be justified? Imagine a world without those brave people who dared to not abide by the law and fight for a right. A world without Gandhi would be a world without independent India; without Mandela there would be white superiority in Africa; without freedom fighters‚ there would be no democracy in Nepal. I believe that all the actions of such law breakers are good‚ even though they were against various laws‚ and such actions can be justified to some extent. Even though laws
