.... for women to rebel against the master to a degree. Women did this work to keep themselves and their families healthy, and would on occassion help a runaway slave by providing for him or her. These responsibilities were in some ways a joy to slave women, since they "offered a degree of personal fulfillment." One slave woman, Mary Colquitt, remarked that her grandmother and mother had often stayed up late sewing clothes for the children, saying, "Dey done it 'cause dey wanted to. Dey wuz workin' for deyselves den." (Jones, 29) Ironically, this work caring for themselves and their families also benifitted the slave owners, since healthy slaves meant t .....

.... consider yourself a concerned citizen, but how concerned are you really??? I’m certainly not condemning concern for students of Columbine High and the residents of Littleton. The shootings at Columbine High are indeed a tragedy, and should not be ignored by any means. But what about Kosovo? What about our sons, daughters, husbands, wives, fathers, and mothers that are being sent over there? Aren’t they just as important as the students at Columbine High? I would certainly say they are! I think that it is noble, perhaps, to be concerned about a school shooting. It is something that has deeply affected a part of our country. However, th .....

.... Close to 40% of that population is under the age of 16. More and more Dominicans are migrating to the cities for a better chance at life. This has greatly effected the rural population by shrinking it steadily. About half of the total population is located between Santiago de los Caballeros and San Pedro de Macoris. Another 1/3 of the population is located in the capitol city of Santo Domingo and between the cities of La Romana and San Cristobal. The annual growth rate is estimated to be at 1.71% for the next couple of years until the year 2000. Mulattos form the largest ethnic group in the being roughly 73% of the population. The next larges .....

.... This trafficing, it should be stressed, was a criminal activity after 1836, but the British traders generously bribed Canton officials in order to keep the opium traffic flowing. The effects on Chinese society were devestating. In fact, there are few periods in Chinese history that approach the early nineteenth century in terms of pure human misery and tragedy. In an effort to stem the tragedy, the imperial government made opium illegal in 1836 and began to aggressively close down the opium dens. Lin Tse-hsü The key player in the prelude to war was a brilliant and highly moral official named Lin Tse-hsü. Deeply concerned about the opium menace, h .....

.... at United States Military Academy at West Point, New York. The prerequisite for obtaining such involved passing a difficult exam. While Eisenhower had no original plans to be a soldier, he still prepared well for the competitive West Point entrance exam and won an appointment to the school in 1911. The Coming of a Commander in Chief Unknown to him at the time, Eisenhower would later lead many military forces though the course of both world wars, winning decisive victories and helping push America forward even before his own presidency. When the United States entered World War I in 1917, Eisenhower was promoted in the army and assigned to training .....

.... Abel James wrote "kind, humane, and benevolent" Franklin to finish his life story, he told Franklin that his autobiography "would be useful and entertaining not only to a few but to millions (55)." Franklin wrote to his friend and confidant, Vaughan, for advice. Vaughan agreed with James and also urged Franklin to print the history of his life because he could think of no "more efficacious advertisement (56)" of America than Franklin's history. "All that has happened to you is also connected with the detail of the manners and situation of a rising people (56)," he replied to Franklin. It is obvious that when Franklin resumed writing his story, he di .....

.... congress to ban a group of immigrants based on race or color. The only Chinese that legally entered the United States during the six decades the Exclusion Act was in place were those in “exempted classes” such as merchants, students, diplomats, and travelers (Chan). An unknown number illegally entered through the Canadian and Mexican borders and many others entered as “paper sons.” The act did not prevent Chinese immigration per se; it simply prevented most legal immigration. The 1907-1908 Gentleman’s Agreement was the result of a conflict between the San Francisco school board and the Asian (particularly Japanese) com .....

.... complexity. After reading and listening to class lecture I believe that should be considered a civilization. As you read on I will discuss point by point why I feel was a civilization. Signs of craft specialization are very apparent at . There are a variety tools and weapons made from obsidian, flint, stone and bone. A process called flint knapping, or chipping, was used to shape a stone, like flint, into a sharp tool which could be used in arrowheads. Another process that was used in making tools was called grounding. This involved using two stones one of which was struck against the other to shape it into the desired size, and then the st .....

.... the 19th and 10th centuries and caused many problems. The Slavic people of Bosnia and Herzegovina wanted to break away from Austria-Hungary and unify with other Slavic nations. Russia as a Slavic nation backed up the two countries in this matter, therefore causing tensions between Austria-Hungary and itself. Nationalism was also a source of anger between France and Germany as France resented its defeat in the Franco-Prussian War (1870-1871). Alliances between European nations can also be considered an underlying cause of World War I. As a result of the Triple Alliance consisting of Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy, the Triple Entente (under .....

.... where the system leans much more to the regressive side. In addition, it is widely misconstrued what taxes are actually used for; it is usually thought of that taxes are simply a means to generate revenue and redistributing wealth. Within the hundreds of goals of taxation are "raising revenue, redistributing income, encouraging savings, stimulating growth, penalizing consumption, directing investment, and rewarding certain values while penalizing others. . .indeed, taxation is a major instrument, if not the major instrument through which governments try to affect the private sector," as the author explains. Steinmo offers three explanations as to .....
