Corn also became an important part of the diets of the people of the regions it spread to. Maize is believed to have come from the domestication of a tall Mexican grass called Teosinte.

Over a period of 1000 years the Native Americans transformed Maize by using selective breeding.
Theodore Roosevelt was a very courageous man; he fought in the war, took on presidential office, and hunted in some of the most ferocious land in Africa.

Cold-Blooded Killer? John Henry Holliday, better known as “Doc” Holliday, had the reputation during his life time, and even to the present time, of being one of the most notorious, ruthless and cold-blooded killers, of the America's Old West. Some have him killing as many as 30 men, not to mention the many he injured. Although I do not believe him to be a saint; I do believe he defended himself, and his friends. But mostly his ambiguous reputation was fueled by lies, often by Doc, himself.
He grew up to hate the English rulers of Scotland and this was made worse when his father was killed by an English Knight in Ayrshire in 1291. Later that year when he was visiting his uncle in Dundee he got into a fight with an English soldier who was stabbed to death. From that day William became an outlaw and went into hiding.

After his death had happened many psychologists and criminologist were wondering what made him killed over 200 people. There have been many hypotheses on why he decided to kill those many innocent people.

They part ways and they lead their troops in battle. When the battle gets to be too much, Cassius has his friend Pindarus kill him with the same sword that Cassius used to stab Caesar with. He then dies once he gets stabbed. When Brutus hears of Cassius’ death, he has his friend Strato hold his sword out and he runs into it and kills himself, also. I don’t think that Brutus is a tragic hero at all, because he killed himself, and I don’t think that he did it for a good cause.
