The fact that 25,000 American colonists agreed to risk their lives for their mother country clearly shows agreement in action, signalling a harmonious relationship. The colonist's may have only done this for the money, but either way they still fought together, highlighting a clear sense of agreement. During the war the British paid good money for the
To me, his paper was organized well and his conclusion topped his paper off too. The part of his conclusion that stood out to me was stated “Citizenship came from people’s love for the country and the trust in our leaders to do what was right. We are faced with some of the most difficult challenges America has seen. We cannot overcome these challenges without citizenship and social responsibility” (4-5). I thought this statement that was written was well because the last sentence of the paper shows what he was trying to explain; citizenship saving
* The essay was written May/ June 1995. He wrote it for a magazine (Civilization under “Lost Arts” column). Content * I would like to learn the process of mummification. I want to know the things to be used and the many things to consider making a perfect one. * I really think this is a very interesting subject because only those who studies history related courses knew about this kind of weird but historic matter.

Yet, despite all these problems, Africvilles residents built strong community ties and the people there appreciated what they had. What most whites at the time considered a filthy slum was home to these people. Because despite the crude characterizations of this community, Africvilles residents enjoyed their town, paid their taxes, and took care of their own when government didn’t provide the basic services. It is essential to note that Government officials continually discussed Africville as a problem that they would solve amongst themselves. The saying “oaths
4. Which of the agencies involved with the Indians- the Interior and the army- seemed to Jackson to be the most understanding of the circumstances of the Cheyenne? Jackson believed that both the Department of the Interior and the U.S army did not do much to help the Cheyenne. The U.S army massacred the Cheyenne tribe in 1864. After the massacre the Commissioner of Indian affairs tried to prove they were not put in situations that forced them to rebel/ run away (refused food; starved, not provided with warm proper clothing they were promised in the treaty, driven off their lands and forced to stay confined on a reservation that wasn’t theirs).
This period can be a time of discovery and reflection into what type of adult one wants to become; in this I strongly agree with Zinsser. His position at the college lends to his credibility and allows him behind the scenes insight as to the pressures of college life. According to Zinsser several college Dean’s have noted the change in mindset of students from helping the world, to getting a leg up on their competition.2 I agree that restricting classes to only those applicable to a degree is a disservice to oneself because my experience doing just that and the tremendous stress of the work load confirmed it. The words of William Zinsser urged college students then and now to embrace this journey for what it is, stressful, ever changing, and savor the experience for what it can be, wonderful. Zinsser, William.
He showed true leadership, he taught, and believed in God. Kamehameha wanted to make Hawai’I a better island, and so he did. He started trade and commerce with other countries, while at the same time keeping his people satisfied. He traded sandalwood and other goods. He also had so much respect from the people of Hawai’I.
Unlike the white people, the American Indians appreciated their land and resources and lived in harmony with their surroundings. As Ortiz mentions, “Indians had to fight a desperate rearguard action to survive its [the white frontier’s] advance, so they had neither the time nor the means to tell their stories” (Ortiz 3). White men have all but destroyed a great deal of our environment. American Indians and those who have Native American heritages feel passionate about their histories. They have been wronged by being overshadowed by the white man’s inaccurate account of events.
For years he lived below the authority of the white. He put himself on the same level of his fellow people, and went through the motions. He was praised for it all, but he knew he was meant to stand out and stand for more. By conforming to the white man, he was able to stand out against the oppression and show everyone who he truly was, and what he truly possessed. He was granted an opportunity toward an education, and an opportunity to become a prominent black leader he had alluded to earlier in the story all because of his understanding of his role in his social setting.
