... were building too many plantations, and were too dependant on this one crop. They also felt that the South was destroying the Union by trading the cotton for goods with the Europeans and not enough with the North. But there was another side to this, the South said that they would trade with the North if they built more factories to process the cotton. The North bitterly opposed this idea. They felt that it was too risky to build more factories and lose a profit. The North would said that if they, the South, slowed down their cotton crop then there would be enough factories to process the cotton. The South disagreed of course, leading to a never-ending quarrel betwee ...
... was sent again into drydock. There she was armed with 12 six-inch guns(Simpson 60). Britain wanted to ship war materials over the Atlantic, but there was an embargo of shipping munitions on passenger ships. America also tended to publish the cargo manifests so that the Allies as well as the Germans would know what is being shipped. Britain found a loophole in this. New cargo added at the last minute did not go on the original manifest, thus a supplementary manifest would be submitted 4 or 5 days later. Also, due to the embargo, munitions were listed as ‘sporting cartridges' and stamped with ‘Not liable to explode in bulk'(Simpson 63). About a week ...
... each one representation would be based on population. Like many other ideas that have made history, it was remarkably simple. Why not divide the Congress into two houses? In one house (the Senate) each state, regardless of population, would have the same number of representatives. In the other house (the House of Representatives) each member would represent the same number of people. ‘Quite appropriately this came to be called the Great Compromise. Other major compromises came on slavery and on the control of commerce. The southern states, where the slaves were really treated as property, still wanted the slaves counted as people for the purposes of representatio ...
... de los Ba¤os and Antonio Maceo airport at Santiago de Cuba were fired upon. Seven people were killed at Libertad and forty-seven people were killed at other sites on the island. Two of the B-26s left Cuba and flew to Miami, apparently to defect to the United States. The Cuban Revolutionary Council, the government in exile, in New York City released a statement saying that the bombings in Cuba were ". . . carried out by 'Cubans inside Cuba' who were 'in contact with' the top command of the Revolutionary Council . . . ." The New York Times reporter covering the story alluded to something being wrong with the whole situation when he wondered how the coun ...
... of a few families that jointly owned a piece of land. Part of the yield of cultivated land was given to the state as a kind of tax. Technology depended more on human skills than on mechanical devices. Iron and steel were unknown, although copper and bronze were used for tools and Mexican jewelers made ornaments from gold, silver, and their alloys. Wheat, barley, cattle, horses, sheep, and goats were unknown until introduced from Europe and the Mexicans were efficient farmers who made full use of irrigation, terracing, and fertilization of the fields. Aztec Mexico was rich and civilized. The state controlled every aspect of life. Schooling and training in the ...
... second, Isoroku Yamamoto, born in 1884, was the reluctant Commander- in-Chief of Japan's naval forces during WW II. He had a clear grasp of the situation and predicted that against a country like the U.S. or Britain, Japan would quickly lose the war. He died in 1943, shot down by the U.S. 13th Air Force in a surgical assassination strike. The last, Tojo Hideki, was born in 1884, and was the most violent of the three. He was the leader of the militaristic party that controlled the government from 1926 to 1945, and the one who commanded the Japanese invasion of Manchuria in 1937. He controlled all government and military campaigns until 1944, when, as a res ...
... of man in a theatrical situation.” He writes that anthropology and theatre have no definite boundary and uses anthropology to show theatrical aspects in everyday life, which brings one to ask the second question. How do the social sciences show theatre used in everyday life? Helbo uses sociology and biology to site instances through which theatre is used in everyday life. Sociologists see theatre in the social structures we face on a daily basis. A handshake, tipping a doorman and even the forbidden middle finger is what Erving Goffman terms “rituals of interaction.” Every culture is immersed in some aspect of performance, even biologists can see theatre ...
... areas"(38). America has accomplished a lot of these tasks; perhaps that is why we are one of the world's super powers. We colonized the North American continent, we've protected our allies yet we don't give them much power, reduced the strong nations and threatening powers (Milosevic, Sadam, and Yeltsin), and we invaded many islands in the Pacific as strategic military positions. The Aleutian Islands are a major acquisition for the United States. For if we didn't occupy those, Russia would have them and they could invade from the north. However I disagree with Machiavelli on the subject of warfare. In chapter XIV, Machiavelli says, "a prince's main object ...
... confidence and exchange. The economy was dependent on foreign loans, and government expenditure was dangerously high, with businesses suffering from low profit margins. The world believed that the great expansion, as in the early 20's, would continue and with all the new inventions life would become pure joy and happiness. Sales, profits and wages went through the roof. The acute phase of the Great Depression began in October 1929, on "the Black Friday", with the Wall Street Crash and continued through the early 1930s. The stock marked crash was not the cause of the depression, but a symptom of a problem whose real causes lay much deeper. Some of them even so fare ...
... religion, reality versus illusion, and artistic creativity. Allegory took a major role in its literary characteristics. Much of the is reactions against forms and rules. is an attitude of imagination and vision, which values a vast freedom in style! Romantics of this period saw the imagination as the means for tapping into the universal truth and finding knowledge. Many objects of the physical world became symbols of spiritual or intellectual truth. For example, Edgar Allen Poe pursued with great intensity the Gothic mood. He made material data of his stories symbolic representations of intense and anguished states of mind. This was a method that he ...
