The first point I shall expand on is the lack of government and the role this played in the lawlessness which was developing in the West. The first one which I shall talk about is the distance which they were at from the government. Until this point people had mostly inhabited the east coast of America so that was where the government were based. This meant that when miners started to inhabit the south west coast of America they were quite distanced from the American government, which in turn meant that the miners who were living in and around California thought that the national law didn’t apply to them. This led to the introduction of their own rules, many undocumented, which inevitably led to anarchy in the West where newcomers were finding it more difficult, as time went on, to adjust to this life in the West leaving gangs of miners who fought against each other on drunken nights,
Jason Campanile 4/8/11 Hist 400w Analytical Book Review Book Review of Resisting McCarthyism: To Sign or Not to Sign California’s Loyalty Oath McCarthyism in America included an era of suspicion, distrust and betrayal. During no other time period in the 20th century has so many of the basic democratic values of America been under threat. Many Americans found no hope in trying to stand up to the scrutiny they were put under during this time. With their jobs and careers on the line, most succumbed to the paranoia that forced them to give up their basic constitutional rights. Very few stood up to the McCarthy era’s witch hunts.
Bubba-Ray Faulkner, the natural father of the child, was convicted of rape, served 10 years in prison, and was recently released on parole two months ago. Our private investigator discovered information that the Smith Institute performed an internal audit. Mr. and Mrs. Lewis was notified through a letter that Mr. Faulkner is the biological father and that his semen was transferred by accident along with a full release of liability form, sent by the institution, that was signed voluntarily by Mr. and Mrs. Lewis. Our clients did not disclose this information to us or anyone else. Our clients also did not attempt to notify or contact the natural father, as we assumed that the couple received an anonymous voluntary donation along with a full waiver of parental rights, which is a mandatory procedure of the Smith Institute.
Why did the Government not provide assistance for a mandatory evacuation? Why did the Government react so slowly in getting aid to those in need? Why did the levees break? In Spike Lee's two part, four hour long, epic documentary, When The Levees Broke, Lee ventures to answer all of these questions. By using proponents of 1960s direct cinema, Lee never appears on film and captures life unaware in an attempt to reveal the truth about such a cataclysmic event.
Columbus enslaved the people, demanded every adult Taino to bring gold to him every three months, and forced Christianity. When the Tiano people came back empty-handed with no gold, Columbus would cut off their hands. There was not much gold at all because they were not in Asia, they were in America. Columbus believed they were in Asia searching for the land of gold, but was never in India or Japan or China. Columbus never stopped searching for gold even when they grew hungry and sick.
No act of espionage or sabotage was attributed to a Japanese American during World War II. They were summarily imprisoned and their constitutional rights suspended solely because of their race. One thousand Aleut Indians were also interned, simply because of their "proximity to a war zone." Now, nearly 40 years later, the process of understanding what

He could not win over anyone or anything in this sealed prison. He was forced to cut off all contact with the outside world. Capone realized he would have to tough this one out so he became an outstanding prisoner and refused to take part in any of the rebellious acts done by the other prisoners, but he soon started showing signs of bad health which was found out to be syphilitic dementia. He spent the rest of his sentence in the hospital and on January 6, 1939 he was transferred one last time to a Federal Correctional Institute in California so he could finish out the last year of his eleven year sentence. In November on the sixteenth day on the year 1939 he was released to go home but was still obligated to pay the remaining cost for the fines which was a total of
The first known execution in the territory now known as the United States of America was of Captain George Kendall, who was shot by a firing squad in Jamestown in December 1607 accused of sowing discord and mutiny some say he also spied on the British for Spain. Well for one the firing squad was not the only way of execution threw out our nation’s history. Hanging, hanging was first passed as a legal substitute in 1735 to 1924, and
Just simply think of this; there is a family of four, two parents and two children, living in Orlando, FL but originally from Colombia. The father moved to America when he was ten years old with his parents, but never got legal papers saying he is a legal citizen of the USA. Deportation is forced and the family is either brought apart or in a tough situation where they all have to move to a new place that isn’t familiar to them. This is such an inconvenient situation that really does have me feel sympathy towards other families I see around me going through different struggles having to do with this. I feel that only criminals that are immigrants should get deported.
