Whilst I agree that the poor weather was factor in the suffering of the soldiers during the Crimean war, it was not the sole reason for their suffering; it was just another factor that made a bad situation worse. The main cause of the suffering was incompetence as a result of the poor organisation and lack of adequate preparation by the British Army. As the war had been planned as a 12 week rather than a 12 month campaign, the soldiers were not equipped for the conditions they faced during the winter of 1854-55. Troops had been sent out with summer uniform, tents were not waterproof or insulated against the cold. Balaclava harbour was very small and busy and the roads out of Balaclava were poor leading to great difficulties in transporting goods to the troops on the higher ground around Sebastopol.
In life there are many hardships. The book of The Good Earth and the article of The Great Depression shows us the hardships that they had during the 1930s. These two nonfictions have the same hardships, but there are different hardships between them too. In the book of The Good Earth shows us that they have problem with harvest because of the weather. And because of that they had no money for food and there was lack of food.
The Impact of Imperialism The spread of culture is inevitable in our ever-globalizing world. However, the forced imposition of culture on those who may be unaware of its implications is detrimental to that society’s culture. The oppression and exploitation of human beings will ultimately lead to failure for both parties, the oppressed and exploited as well as the oppressive and exploitative. Although temporary monetary gain may be evident in the stealing of natural resources from lands to build and manufacture goods, the buildup of bitter emotion combined with the emotional toil forced upon both the colonized and the colonizers will result in conflict and setbacks in the development of the colonized and integrity and global status of the colonizers. In asserting themselves through trade and through imperialism, Western cultures have not improved the world but have rather caused irreversible damage.
This is partly due to a combination of factors of which are poor planning and tactics, African American violence and a lack of federal government support. The major reason that the campaigns in the north weren't nearly as successful was due to the lack of federal and local government support, something which was integral to the success of many of the southern campaigns, notably Birmingham and Little rock. The relationship between Johnson and the organisers of the movement was strained because of disagreements over the Mississippi Freedom summer in 1964. Also, King made errors in declaring his stance over the Vietnam War, as he stated that he was anti-war supporter. This would hinder the chances of success in the Northern campaigns because Johnson refused to back and involve himself any further in the campaigns.
This also gives the police the chance to brutalise the blacks which would damage the image of black people as the white citizens wouldn’t want to help the black if they are involved in violence. So Malcolm X use of violence would lose him supporters for his campaign, which will decrease his campaigns popularity and so the federal government would have no reason to support the demands of the black civil rights. Another organisation also worked to introduce the idea of self-defence. The BPP argued that black people needed an organised defence as they could not trust the police or the US justice system. According to Huey Newton a leader of the BPP the police ‘occupied’ the black ghettos, so the BPP organised its own peoples’ army who patrolled black neighbourhoods
How important was the issue of slavery in causing the American Civil war? Due to slavery America was divided into two halves, the North and the South, both had very different and in some cases radical views. Firstly the more industrialised North generally was through and through against slavery as many felt it was immoral but also realised that if you paid your workforce you would increase your means of production and efficiency which helped them become more industrialised. However the south was reluctant to give up their slaves and felt that they were doing the slaves a favour in keeping them, housing them and feeding them. They were like children and would not survive by themselves.
Jefferson also believed slavery to be an atrocious blot on the face of America. Their strong opinions of equality resonate in today’s world but were not considered the correct morals in their time. 2. a.) The conspiracy between Jefferson and his affair with Sally Hemings, his slave, first surfaced in a publication written by James Callender.
Slavery and Racism in Early American History Freedom is flawed. Truthfully, total freedom is impossible to achieve in this world, since the chains that bind humans disable us from truly living freely. With the constant stresses of simply living or being confined to the laws of the land, our freedom is suppressed. Since every human being falls under being constrained, however, we should all share the burden equally. In past history, enslavement of another was usually the result of an unpaid debt, the spoils of a victorious war, or the consequences of a crime.
Most likely these successes or disappointments were determined by an external factors which were beyond their control. America was the dream land for the new comers and the land of slavery and bad memories that haunted the African Americans, however in some occasions the dream land was a nightmare for the immigrants, and the land of slavery was the land where African Americans were ready to pay their lives to protect their freedom. Immigrants who came to America in last decades of the 18th century and early 19th century didn't differ much from their predecessors. Escaping racial, religious, and political persecution, or seeking relief from a lack of economic opportunity or famine were the main reasons that pushed many immigrants out of their homelands. They imagined the United States as a land of freedom, where all persons enjoys equality before the law, could worship as they pleased , enjoyed economic opportunity.
On the other hand, the anti-imperialists argued that it went against our American democracy and was harmful to the territories we were trying to acquire and our country itself. Even though they had a major difference, they had one similarity in that they both wanted the country to progress and become more successful through overseas expansion, just not using imperialismto justify it. Imperialist thought it was their duty to take over the smaller countries in order to save them from themselves because they were not fit for self government. Behind the imperialists were a plethora of people and they all supported it for multiple reasons. Blacks at the time liked the idea because it gave them an opportunity to serve their country and have perfect unity with the whites as well as patriotic unity for themselves (doc1).
