.... to become available to a larger segment of society instead of just the aristocracy. The English first settled the city of Jamestown, Virginia in 1607. Jamestown was the first colony in America. It is also the sight of the House of Burgess, which was a model for other legislatures throughout the colonies. If the English had not started the colonization when and where they did, we might not be speaking the same language as we do today. A group of English settlers established the colony Jamestown along the Jamestown River in Virginia. This is known as the first English settlement in the New World. However, it is also known as the last colony due to it .....

.... job conditions. Jobs ranging from sweatshops, dirty factories, shipyards, and railroads are prime examples of the conditions they were forced to live and work in. Fae Ng described the difficulty very well by taking a look at her mother’s job in the clothing factory and Leon’s Job on the ships. They had very little advancement in the work force because they couldn’t communicate well enough that they actually had skills. Trials in the work place helped the immigrants impress upon their children the importance of education. Education in Asia was and is completely different from western civilization. Asian teachers bear all the responsibility w .....

.... that officially ended military actions against Germany. Germans did not like this treaty because their government would have to pay other countries for their economic losses. Germany also lost all of its colonies overseas. It had to give back provinces to France, Belgium, and Denmark. France got German coal mines and Gdansk, now a city in Poland, became a "free city." Poland gained most of Western Prussia and Germany's Rhineland was demilitarized, although allied troops occupied it for fifteen years after the war. The Treaty also solely held Germany responsible for the War in a "war guilt" cause, which greatly upset the Germans. When the German .....

.... greatness was due to their strict discipline. Instead of being the tough guys when they conquered a city, they treated their conquered foes much better than other armies. Most victors killed or, if they were lucky, enslaved the entire city they conquered. Sometimes, the Legions even allowed the conquered enemies to keep their original government, provided they give Rome ships or soldiers to help them win the war. The Legionaries gave some foes partial rights or possibly even allowed them to regain citizenship. The Legions setup well designed fortresses or marching camps to keep enemies from easily gaining an advantage on them when in combat. .....

.... but they also differ in many ways. The word Islam means "surrender" or "submission," submission to the will of Allah, the one God. Muslims are those who have submitted themselves. The basic creed of Islam is brief but important; there is no God but Allah, and Muhammad is the Prophet of Allah. Islam teaches that there is one God, the creator and sustainer of the universe. This God, Allah, is compassionate and just. Because He is compassionate, He calls all people to believe in Him and worship Him. Because He is also just, on the Last Day He will judge every person according to his deeds. On the Last Day, all the dead will be resurrected .....

.... of many contradictions. He was the wealthiest human being of all time, and he was convinced of the value of poverty in developing character. In Carnegie’s later life, I believe he had realized his selfishness with his wealth and felt the need to give it away. In the excerpt, I feel he was assessing his own situation of wealth and was trying to encourage the rest of mankind to not live the type of life he had experienced. He stated, “it is a nobler ideal that man should labor, not for himself alone, but in and for a brotherhood of his fellows, and share with them all in common…� I sense that the reason he made this statement was to encoura .....

On August 21, excitement was in the air. The town’s population of over 7,000 doubled overnight. At 2:30 p.m. Douglas began speaking and the battle was on! The Little Giant, Douglas, displayed the art that marked him as the master “stump-speaker� of h .....

.... a white police sniper shot a young black man named James Meridith who was simply trying to encourage other Negroes to vote. Meridith was the first African American to attend the previously all white University of Mississippi. In another incident a gentleman named Robert F. Williams had, in his words, "organized a Negro community [meeting] in the South to take up arms in self defense against racist violence and use them!" When night riders of the KKK and police cars approached his house where the meeting was held, Williams and others fired their guns until their oppressors left.

.... from many different places and had many different backgrounds. All Hippies were young, from the ages of 15 to 25(Worldbook). They left their families and did it for many different reasons. Some rejected their parents' ideas, some just wanted to get away, and others simply were outcasts, who could only fit in with the Hippie population. "Under 25 became a magical age, and young people all over the world were united by this bond" (Harris 15). This bond was of Non-conformity and it was the "Creed of the Young" (Harris 15).
