He fought against Spanish rule in 1811 with the inspiration of George Washington. After eight long years, he brought an army together and crushed the Spanish army of Colombia. The occupation of his forces led to the Peninsular War, which gave the Spanish Creole an opportunity to gain independence from their mother country. This resulted in a series of revolutions that took place all over Spanish America. This revolution has a great impact and long-lasting implications on the countries in Latin America.

McCarthy came on the scene. Hearings and investigations occurred in the late 40s. But Schrecker provides a robust detail chronological account the early stages of political repression of the left. Although the author can trace back all the way to the Mayflower compact and otherness of enslaved Africans, Anti-Communism in its modern form begins with the Paris commune of 1870-71, and the great railroad strikes of 1877. But it is the Haymarket tragedy of 1886 where anarchists and a bomb exploded killing police officers that we find the inter connection of local police agencies, robber baron business leaders, cash payoffs to law enforcement officers and the privileging American values of family flag and church as the beginning stages of a network towards the repression of the political left.
Criminalizing Speech: A Necessary Evil Holder v. Humanitarian Law Project Jerry W. Chappell II* I. Introduction International terrorism is a serious problem that threatens the safety of the United States and its citizens.

Parallels of Terrorism Jesse Gomez HIS/110 September 24, 2013 Bob Degarimore Parallels of Terrorism Terrorism is something that we Americans are too familiar with that has been going on for many decades. Terrorism is something that Barack Obama and Thomas Jefferson had to deal with while being the President of the United States. I will be discussing some of the obstacles these two presidents had to overcome. In the early days as Thomas Jefferson was entering office he created the United States Navy and Marines and declares war against the Muslim terrorist that attacked the American vessels who were holding property hostages until ransom was paid. During his time President Jefferson put together the best military weapons
Former CIA Director James Woolsey, without mentioning Afghanistan, pointed his finger at “state sponsorship,” implying the complicity of one or more foreign governments. In the words of former National Security Adviser, Lawrence Eagleburger, “I think we will show when we get attacked like this, we are terrible in our strength and in our retribution.” That same evening at 9:30 pm, a “War Cabinet” was formed integrated by a select number of top intelligence and military advisors. And at 11:00 pm, at the end of that historic meeting at the White House, the “War on Terrorism” was officially launched. The tragic events of 9/11 provided the required justification to wage war on Afghanistan on “humanitarian grounds”, with the full support of World public opinion and the endorsement of the “international community”.
