... entering of America would eventually result the wave of 3rd generation Chinese population along with Baby Boomers after World War II. The new generation was in the era of Civil Rights movement in the 1950~1970’s. The talented, new 3rd generation possessed not only the despair of having an identity, but also faced the pressure from the elder generation of their origin cultures. It is true and inappropriate that the newer the generation, the more they refuse their own cultures. However, from what it took the elder generations of Chinese/Asian Americans for the younger generation to be able to live under the aegis of liberty, freedom, stable society, and satiatin ...
... for an attack on Corinth, Mississippi, where the Confederate troops were located. General Halleck, Western U.S. Army commander, had ordered Grant to stay put and wait for reinforcements. Grant had given command of the Pittsburg Landing encampment to General William T. Sherman while he waited at his camp in Savannah, Tennessee. (1) At Corinth, Confederate Generals Albert Sydney Johnston and P.G.T. Beauregard worked feverishly to ready the 40,000 plus troops there for an attack on the Union Army at Pittsburg Landing before U.S. Army General Buell and reinforcements could arrive from Nashville. The officers appointed as corps commanders for the South were Major ...
... you can see the compromise is virtually useless to the Southerners. If I were a Northerner, however, the compromise wouldn’t exactly fit the bill either. The problem with the compromise to me as a Northerner is that it doesn’t offer that which I want. As a person of the North, I am interested in the abolition of slavery. I will not be fooled by a so-called compromise that doesn’t include that which I really want. As an abolitionist, the only good part of the bill is that California is admitted as a free state. While this does strengthen the abolitionist movement, it does not ban slavery. By agreeing to this compromise, I would be saying that I was sa ...
... fat" the primary oil used is olive oil, which has been proven to be better for you that rendered animal fat. Cheese is another mainstay of the Greek diet. The average Grecian eats 50 lbs. of cheese a year. This ranks second in world cheese consumption behind France. The most popular Greek cheese is Feta, which is a smooth cottage type of cheese. Greeks drink a lot of wine. If you are a first-time visitor, you probably better order your wine aretsinoto (without resin), or your mouth will pucker. Retsina, or resinated wine, has a distinctive flavor and tastes better when chilled. Greek food has been influenced by many sources. The area that Greece occupies was the a ...
... powerful bombs of a new type may thus be constructed.” His letter was the inspiration for the atomic bomb. Although it took a while for Roosevelt to realize what we had stumbled upon, his close friend Alexander Sachs helped him realize the possibilities. Two years later in November Roosevelt appointed a committee to advise him on nuclear fission and the capabilities of the concept in war. At the head of this committee was Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson. About a month later, an event happened that would change the history books forever. The Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, Hawaii at about 7:50 in the mourning. This brought America into the war and the M ...

On these materials were recorded everything from high literature to the myriad of Nine of ten published texts are private letters or documents of every conceivable documents and other communications of daily life. they reflect the quotidian affairs of government, commerce, and personal life in much the same way that modern records do. From the papyri, moreover, have come abundant new works of religious literature not only for Judaism and Christianity but also for traditional G ...
... point at 6 AM, December 7. At 7:50 AM, the first wave of Japanese planes struck Pearl Harbor, bombarding airfields and battleships moored at the concrete quays. The U.S. totally taken off guard had to defend themselves in pajamas. They used anti-aircraft guns in an attempt to stop the Japanese. A second wave followed. The surprise attack was over before 10 AM. The results were devastating; 18 U.S. ships were hit, and more than 200 aircraft destroyed or damaged. The battleship Arizona was a total wreck; the West Virginia and California were sunk; and the Nevada was heavily damaged. Approximately 2,400 Americans were killed, 1,300 wounded, and 1,000 mis ...
... had occupied Saigon, the capital of South Vietnam, with no trouble, and an evacuation began (see picture 1 & 2). On July 2nd, 1976, the country was united as the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (“Vietnam War”). If the U.S. had stayed to finish the Vietnamization, there might have been a South Vietnam today. I feel that the U.S. should have never been involved in the war in the first place, however, under the unavoidable circumstances we should have stayed in South Vietnam and helped the country defend themselves on something we made them believe in. We poured so many resources into the war fighting for a cause that many Americans and people in general did not ...
... There have been many stories that Billy was in the gang that shot Sheriff Bill Brady dead, but probably isn't true, was not a cold blooded killer. Governor Lew Wallace (also the Author of "Ben Hur") offered a 500$ reward for anyone who could capture "The Kid" and bring him to any sheriff in New Mexico. In 1880, Lincoln County elected Sheriff Pat Garret and a posse trapped "The Kid" and four of his companions in a hut in Stinking Springs. After a three-day siege, the gang was captured. In 1880-1881? was sentenced to be hung. However, on April 23, 1881, Billy escaped from custody, killing two guards. When his escape made the news, it said simply "The Kid's ...

Some archaeologists deemed that it might have been the area’s control access, for that the wall enables people to walk in single file only. has been designed to change its periphery as the city’s population grew due to the fact that it wasn’t constructed around a central plan. Despite that the size has made remarkable, another main factor is its stonework. Many of the structures were made of blocks cut from granite. The city’s name comes from the Shona term dzimbabwe, meaning “ houses of stone.” And, like may other ancient cities, has been concealed by legend. Many people told myths about .
