Since the government could not set up a national currency, and states were allowed to make their own, this caused trade between states to be very difficult. In Joseph Jones letter to George Washington (DOC C), he wrote how war veterans felt mistreated when they were not paid and the pay that was earned did not have much value. Jones wrote “One ground of discontent in the army is the delay in complying with their requests.” By never giving congress the power to establish a set currency for the nation, money traded between each state had
To be completely honest, I didn’t want any part of this book. I already didn’t like history and now my father is forcing me to read the giant book filled with giant words. So I read this book, but I wasn’t really paying any attention to what I was reading. I just wanted to get it all over with. But now, as I am putting this report together, I am amazed.
Immigration Sierra brown Period:6 We need to allow immigration in the United States. Times are hard in foreign countries and they don’t have as many opportunities as we do here in America. They don’t have as many jobs or healthcare or freedom. They have wars and other difficult things going on. They don’t have the economy we have or goods.
Also, you have to have the proper paper work, such as birth certificate, social security number, and in poor countries most people never get their hands on their documents, because of government, and in some places this paper work is never even created (Alvarez 1). Also, poor housing and natural disasters can cause you to lose things of this sort. In poorer foreign countries if they get this documentation it may be the only copy of it. So, if it is lost there is no getting it back of replacing
03/26/14 Hometowns Many people who are from my native country, Peru, say that the United States is best at everything; but if they would ask me, I wouldn’t agree with their answer. Because I moved to this country, I left some of my family like my sister and friends, but I also started to meet new people, new friends and a big family that I’ve never spent time with. Therefore, I can say that Peru and The United states are my hometowns. But In which country do I really feel more comfortable? Even though people say that the United States is the best place to live, I would prefer Peru because of the major differences and similarities they have First difference between Peru and the United States is the seasons of the year.
Serra is where it all started! Serra is the place that exposed me to: excellence, education, leadership, work ethic, professionalism, faith, support, and love. Believe it or not when I first tried to go to Serra I did not get accepted. At the time, they told me that I didn't have what it took to be a Cavalier. I spent a whole year in a public school called Leuzinger.
Manchester stresses at the fact that the peasants in the Dark Ages had absolutely no knowledge of what was happening in the rest of the world. In our modern-day civilization we have the news and the internet gather to information from across the world. It certainly is difficult to understand that if we were still living in the Dark Ages, most of us would be completely oblivious and unaware to the activities and culture of the rest of the world outside of our small village. Manchester also shows recognition that most of the population in the Dark Ages had no understanding of time. Many were unaware of what century they were in, or even the specific date.
National Debt At one point our national debt was only 34,000 dollars that was way back in 1834, today in December of 2012 our debt has gone up to about 59 trillion dollars. Many people don’t even know anything about our debt situation. It’s never fully explained on how we got so far in the red zone, it’s always hidden away like a dark secret of our government. Truthfully there are many explanations for our nation’s debt crisis. The U.S. government has stolen trillions of dollars from future generations of Americans, and we continue to add well over a hundred million dollars to that total every single day.
We have been called “the melting pot”. Because people come here from different countries, they almost always can not speak English. Some people learn it quickly, for some it may take time, and others never learn it at all. This all may depend on a person’s financial ability to pay for an English course or the rate at which people learn. I don’t think the lack of desire to learn is a common reason as to why people never learn to speak English while living in this country.
American’s had little disease at this time because isolation did not allow for contact with the other people to contract their diseases and they did not have domestic animals. The lack of trade and domestic animals made the Americans not as infectious as the Europeans, which eventually ended in their downfall. Next, strategy played a very important role in the conquest over the empires of America. The Aztecs, Mayans, and even the Incans had no formal written language. Europe, however, had the printing press and books.
