Kings Mountain is very unique in that the city has an extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) that extends into the nearby county of Gaston. Combined with the close bond between the city and Cleveland County and potential agroeconomic sites, are factors giving Kings Mountain room to grow with a lot of farmland within the area of influence.

    Uneven Ground: Appalachia Since 1945 Summary

    Uneven Ground: Appalachia Since 1945, by Ronald Eller explores the devastation of traditional culture and land use in the Appalachian region at the hands of the coal industry and local, state, and federal leaders and policy makers. His perspective comes from one that separates growth from development and is highly critical of efforts to force Appalachia into a national economic model that is not aligned with the regions unique historical situations. After briefly setting the stage in the Civil War and the immediate years following, Eller focuses on modernization efforts preceding the 1930s depression and revitalization efforts that began during World War II. Eller makes the argument that industrialization and an expanding market economy altered Appalachian land use and social relations as early as the Civil War.…

    Pinedale Pros And Cons

    The small town of Pinedale, Wyoming is known for a diverse number of things. By and large, the community has always been known for its beautiful surrounding scenery, but also for the ranching community feel and the cowboy characters that live there.

    What Is Sherman Alexie's Strategies For Overcoming Poverty?

    In his book, “The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-time Indian,” Sherman Alexie discussed the required strategies for overcoming poverty. The book points out that white people have more hope than Native Americans living on the reservations (Alexie, 45). This theme of hope helps outline the characteristics required for a poor individual to stay motivated in the possibility of getting out of poverty. Junior and his sister, Mary seem to have pursued hope with a similar approach; they both moved out of the reservation. Why then is Junior the only one who ended up with the hope of overcoming poverty?…

    Kaw People Vs Absentee Landowners

    Battle over land ownership and the movement of the Native American’s off of their land is part of the American story. As whites moved across America, the Indians were moved to less desirable land. In the two essays that I wrote for this class, Kaw People and Absentee Landowners the interesting connection between both essays is that not only were the Indians moved off the land but settlers and their descendants who wanted the land were priced out of the land in Chase County. Both essays are connected by the simple fact that as land became more valuable only the most powerful or richest could own the land and as a result both the Kaw and people of Chase County have became more dependent on others for support.…

    Rhetorical Analysis Of Indian Removal

    Indian Removal, a controversy that dates back to America’s founding, has had its supporters and its critics. In 1877, the American government forced the Wal-lam-wat-kin band of the Nez Perce Indians to move from their lands and into an Indian reservation. Their chief In-mut-too-yah-lat-lat, whom Americans address by Joseph, traveled to Lincoln Hall in Washington, D.C. two years later to advocate for Indian freedom as conditions in the reservation worsened. His goal was to convince American government leaders to put an end to the deportation of Indian tribes from their homelands and treat Indians as citizens, with equal rights and obligations. Chief Joseph’s speech is very successful in persuading his audience of his thesis through its usage…
