.... in quick succession, and in February 1861 they formed a confederacy, the Confederate States of America. Delaware was a slaveholding border state with many Confederate sympathizers; Lincoln did not carry the state in 1860. However, Delaware had more economic ties with the North than with the South; by 1860 fewer than 2000 of the almost 22,000 blacks in the state were slaves, and most Delawareans opposed the extension of slavery. There was never any movement in Delaware to secede from the Union, and it remained loyal during the American Civil War (1861-1865) that followed the secessions. More than 13,000 Delawareans, nearly one-tenth of the stat .....

.... siglos XVI y XVIII, los territorios de Yugoslavia se repartieron entre el Imperio Otomano (Serbia, Bosnia, Herzegovina, Montenegro y Macedonia), los Habsburgo (Croacia, Eslovenia, Eslavonia, parte de Dalmacia y Voivodina) y la República Veneciana (Istria y Dalmacia). Después que fuera aplastada la insurrección de 1690 en la vieja Serbia, unas 70 mil personas se refugiaron en territorios de los Habsburgo. El Imperio Otomano trasladó a musulmanes albaneses a los territorios abandonados (Kosovo y Metohija). A principios del siglo XX continuaron los conflictos: la resistencia serbia al Imperio austro - húngaro provocó el asesinato del archiduqu .....

.... As these people keep on fighting for what is right, they proved that they are the right role models for today's society. In the 21st century, we may not have many more role models to look after everyone. In order to keep order between people we have to have someone to look at and remind us that anything is possible and nothing can stop someone with a worthy cause and a commendable heart. Role models are the only way that people will believe that there is always a dream. And that if you try hard enough that dream could come true. African Americans were discriminated and were scapegoats just because of the color of their skin. This factor in the .....

.... is known only from archaeological evidence. Its origins traditionally were viewed as the result of the diffusion of farming and technology from more advanced cultures in Mesopotamia and on the Iranian plateau to Baluchistan and ultimately to the Indus Valley. Today this theory is seen as largely incorrect. Knowledge about early plant and animal domestication in lands east of the Iranian plateau is still obscure, but the results of excavations at the important site of Mehrgarh, at the foot of the Bolan Pass, indicate that large settlements may have existed as early as the 7th millennium BC. Two thousand or more years later sites in eastern Baluchista .....

.... and let us know that we did have a nation. For the first time, we were united, not for a fight of our homes and freedoms, but for ideals (The Awakening of American Nationalism, AAN). The war of 1812 began long before war was declared. It began right after the war of Independence. The British were not too fond of us breaking away from their empire, and they soon figured out that many revolts were because we had fought and won. They taxed our merchants, and hassled our ships, but they crossed the line when they began to impress our sailors into their navy. They claimed that these people had “deserted� the royal navy and should be given back. T .....

.... machine to a carriage. A few years later Daimler created his first "four wheeled wooden built light wagonnete" powered by petrol. Karl Benz of Manheim (Germany) then built an engine specifically intended for motor cars, leading to the four-wheelers (Thomas 321). As petrol cars became more dependable the advantage of not having to wait until steam was generated gave them clear superiority over the steamers, and the self-starter took away the principal advantage from electric propulsion. At the beginning of the century, petrol driven internal-combustion motor car had established itself as the dominant mechanical road vehicle and started its exp .....

.... of a woman who had asked the priest for his cloak as a surety that he would pay her the five gold coins he promised. A servant of the priest came to retrieve the cloak without the payment. When the woman's husband found out that she had taken a surety from the priest, he ordered her to go give the cloak back. She willingly did as she was told and fetched the coat to give back to the priest. (pg. 559) This is an accurate representation of the attitudes of the fourteenth century. Thomas Aquinas, a writer of the fourteenth century, advanced the idea of women as being passive and submissive. (Spielvogel 406) This idea was widely accepted and bel .....

.... had, they quickly started taking advantage of the Aztecs weaknesses. The Spanish had more power; they were better equipped than the Aztecs and more advanced. The Aztecs’ leader Montecuhzoma was a weak leader, he was more of a coward, more concerned with his well being and safety than the safety of his people and kingdom so he quickly surrendered under pressure. The Spanish used surrounding enemy tribes to take over the Aztec lands, then began to massacre men, women and children. When the Aztec became angry and started to fight back, they were quickly wrecked by the diseases the Spanish brought with them such as small pox and measles. The Spanish wer .....

.... during WW1, had to deal with hunger. At one point in the story, Paul and his comrades were assigned to a deserted village. In the village they find some food. Immediately they cook up a feast. However, just as they were finishing their cooking, they were shelled. Paul and his friends decide they would rather risk their lives then leave the food. One by one they run to safety carrying their platters of food. Even when Paul is almost killed he doesn’t let go of his plate of pancakes. On the field it goes without saying how many men suffered. Shells were flying from above while rifles shot in all directions on the ground. Deadly gases .....

.... are due to the changes in the conditions of their environment. With the rigorous changes of the environment's condi- tions, living creatures especially animals had to adapt their physical and biological make-up to these changes to meet their needs. The story of man's evolution is one of increasing differentiation from the other groups of animals to which he is related. It is believed that over 60 million years, descendants of the early primates gradually evolved to produce modern man. Tree-living creatures, more like rats than men, were followed by the ancestors of today's lemurs and monkeys, and by a primate called Dryopithecus, believed to be the .....
