.... in the crime. The reporters suspected that the break-in had been ordered by other White House officials. In a press conference on August in 1972, President Nixon said that nobody on the White House Staff was involved in the crime. Most of the public accepted Nixon's word and dropped the questioning. But when the burglars went to trial four months later, the story changed rapidly from a small story to a national scandal. It ended only when Richard Nixon was forced from office. Watergate was connected to Vietnam, it eventually exposed a long series of illegal activities in the Nixon administration. Nixon and his staff were found to have spied .....

.... very similar, are nothing alike. On one side, there sits a limp body staring at the reflection of herself in the water that she sinks in. The setting sun glistens off the back of her head, but she just wallows in grim depression and boredom. The canyons trap her in the barren wasteland as she sits motionless, without movement, struggle, or life. This mysterious figure looks so vacant that it might as well be dead. Nothing is happening on this side, so one's attention is directed to the other. On the other side, a blue decaying hand emerges from the ground with ants crawling on it, possibly making their homes in it or finding food on i .....

.... were killed or captured; few escaped. The captured Africans were now on their way to the slave ships. “Bound together two by two with heavy wooden yokes fastened around their necks, a long line of black men and women plodded down a well-worn path through the dense forest. Most of the men were burdened with huge elephants' tusks. Others, and many of the women too, bore baskets or bales of food. Little boys and girls trudged along beside their parents, eyes wide in fear and wonder� (McCague, 14). After they were marched often hundreds of miles, it was time for them to be shipped off to sea, so that they could be sold as cheap labor to .....

.... became publicly visible some years later. It was a combination of ideas like these plus many other childhood experiences which created the writer as well as the topics of writing covered by Morrison. Morrison's parents used a type of punishment known as dress-them-down which involved no physical violence but instead used verbal abuse until tear followed. It was high school where Morrison's writing began its early course. In his spare time Morrison poured his racing mind into the pages of notebooks, stuffing them one by one. The passion of writing was fueled by the world inside his mind in addition to the ideas from books which congested the wa .....

.... anchor to hold onto. This religious art lifts the spirit and brings peace within through a beautiful way. It helps reassure people that there is a life after this one. One needs not fear the power of God but to understand his actions and the way one should live his or her life. Art through the ages has been a powerful voice for both secular and religious ideas, and the treasury of Christian art should not be relegated to museum viewing. The art should be displayed in the church were it is meant to be. Its richness can be brought to people in schools and adult study groups. This, in turn, can help to bring art up to the level, that the faith deserves .....

She fought in the Battle of Blackburn's Ford, the First Battle of Bull Run, and the Peninsular campaign of May-July 1862. She undertook at least two intelligence missions behind Confederate lines “disguised� as a woman. She deserted in 1863. After leaving the army, she worked as a nurse for the United States Christian Commission. A short time before her death, she petitioned for a veteran's pension. Two years later the pension was granted to her by Congress. Some women did not dress up as men to fight. S .....

.... already disrelished the national bank before his presidency. As a former, wealthy land speculator, he had lost large sums of money because of the national bank. As a result, he refused to recharter the bank when Henry Clay proposed it in 1832. Even though it was passed through Congress, Jackson vetoed it claiming that it was unconstitutional but it was declared constitutional by the Marshall in 1819 during the McCulloch vs. Maryland case. This was one of many vetoes made by Jackson under the executive branch. Even though the charter was vetoed it was still valid for four more years and since Jackson abhorred the national bank, he schemed to d .....

.... and will never be an easy one. It is, instead, a long and difficult challenge that a great many will fail at. The fact that many early immigrants braved an unknown wilderness so they would have the opportunity to make a better life for themselves and their ancestors gives the American people their character, thus giving a definitive character to the actual country. This bravery of early Americans has allowed them to triumph over tremendous odds. The courage of Americans was evident as they triumphed over the most powerful country in the world in order to free themselves from a tyrannical government and gain their independence. From the beginni .....

.... the British troops in America. The British Parliament passed in March of 1765, a man named George Grenville sponsored it and it was the first direct tax imposed by Britain. Grenville tried to be cautious in putting the law into effect. He discussed the matter with agents of the colonists and gave them time to suggest alternatives. He also allowed to colonists to give out the stamps themselves. The act specified that a stamp must be put on deeds, liquor licenses, mortgages, law licenses, almanacs, and playing cards. The tax was basically levied on all legal and commercial documents and printed materials. Although this was an unfair to the Americ .....

.... reporditely made a speech on the bands of the James River in 1712. According to Willie Lynch there was a foolproof method for controlling black slaves. He listed several differences among the slaves and created his own form of conditioning. He used fear, distrust and envy as his unconditioned stimulus to create a controlled response, which would lead to an obedient slave. His objective was to turn the slaves with visible differences in color, age, size and intelligence against one another. Turning slaves against one another would redirect any negative attention towards slave owners. Like chapter 6 Willie Lynch claims that if you expose a slave, in th .....
