In 1492 when Christopher Columbus first arrived in America and came into contact with the native people he wrote this about them: “they could easily be commanded, and made to work, to sow and to do whatever might be needed, to build towns and be taught to wear clothes and adopt our ways,” and, “they are the best people in the world and above all the gentlest.” (Present, 2003) As I researched Native Americans History I was and am certain you will be when you read this paper embarrassed at the way…

Pilgrims were the first group to make to move in Massachusetts. The puritans were a group in England that criticized the Anglican church. The Anglican church is the another name of the church of England. And they got the name Puritan because to purify the church and get rid of things that they felt unnecessary. They also believed that each person could read and interpret the Bible himself. The pilgrims were a small group inside the larger group of puritans. So they were a small part of the…

In late October 1846, an early snowstorm stranded twenty-two men, women, and children in Alder Creek Meadow in California's Sierra Nevada. The squall came on so fiercely and suddenly that the pioneers had just enough time to erect sleeping tents and a small structure of pine trees covered with branches, quilts, and the rubber coats off their backs.

Zinn basically states how almost all European settlers in North America treated Native Americans in the same way, committing “genocide” to claim what they saw as their destiny.

a new, flourishing colony in North America, which would persuade more Viking settlers to journey across the sea to live there. As the Vikings broadened the area they inhabited, they would encounter more native people, like the Iroquois, Shawnee, Powhatan, and Cherokee. The Vikings would most likely trade with indigenous population because they had seen the benefits of the cordial relations between themselves and the Thule. As the years pass, European practices and Christian beliefs would diffuse…

The Affordable Care Act decision could have been an expansion of the powers of the federal government under the Commerce Clause. Instead, Roberts sought to redefine the penalty as a tax, so to avoid defining it as a power under Congress power to regulate interstate commerce. Although I agree with Roberts reasoning so as not to uphold the law under the commerce clause, I also find the redefining of the individual mandate as a problematic precedent. However, I believe the greatest issues with the…
