With that being said you will find yourself toting a musket most of the time, and it wont be reloading fast. Nope, the game intends to stick to its historical accuracy and simulate authentic reloading - players will have the choice of manually reloading their black powder rifles or stopping and taking a stab with their rusty bayonet. This along with realistic ballistics, and fouling - the more fouled the weapon becomes the higher the chance there are of misfires or delayed fires -makes

    War Is Beneficial Beyond declaring a winner or a loser, war can prove beneficial in seemingly disconnected matters. One million African-Americans served in World War II and returned home with the desire to possess the full rights of citizenship that their country had denied to them for so long. Many blacks had fought in the war to demonstrate their firm belief in democracy and to defend the rights of others.

    In August of 1861, President Lincoln signed the 1st Confiscation Act formalizing to some degree Butler’s contraband argument by authorizing the United States army to seize any slave used to aid the Confederate military. This however did not resolve the ambiguity of the status of the majority of enslaved people who now numbered in the thousands in and around Union army camps. The decision as to whether these people were free, property of the army, or to be returned to their masters was essentially left to the discretion of individual army officers. The 2nd Confiscation Act passed by Congress in the summer of 1862 was far stronger than its predecessor authorizing the army to seize any property including human property of those in rebellion and…

    Drowning In Fire Analysis

    Both Craig Womack’s novel “Drowning in Fire” and Gloria Anzaldúa’s semi-autobiographical work “Borderlands” explore the intersection between queer and Indian identities. One specific way that Womack and Anzaldúa focus on these identities is through the tension between native religions and Christianity in the lives of modern natives. Both authors come up with a compelling narrative of what it is like to be native and queer in the face of an institutionalized product of Western conquest like Christianity that attempts to erase both of those identities. When read in unison with theory from Gloria Anzaldúa’s “Borderlands,” Craig Womack’s “Drowning in Fire” uses the religious journeys of Lucy and Josh to paint Christianity as an oppressive and…
