Interesting enough,we both are related to some of these outlaws.We wanted to research their many exciting journeys and discover how lawmen got to serve and help the citizens from bandits. What interested us most about our project was, that the outlaws and lawmen experienced through trying to run from the law or tried to enforce it .The lawmen would risk their own lives just to catch the outlaws from threatening anybody, and the outlaws had to run from the lawmen so the would not get killed. The research process with this project was a challenge at first. We didn't know where to look, but once we started to dig through the internet we found really useful websites like encyclopediaofarkansas.net, americanexperience/features/biography/james-jesse/ legendsofamerica.com .These sources are the ones that helped us the most .

For us it was a better decision to create an exhibit board. We felt if you made a website you wouldn’t know how reliable it would be and it may not work when you go to perform.

    The book titled Gateway to Freedom: The Hidden History of the Underground Railroad by Eric Foner examines in depth, as the name suggests, the Underground Railroad, but it also discusses the numerous abolitionist associations and the people, black and white, who conducted them. These abolitionist organizations and the Underground Railroad often went hand in hand with the abolitionist organizations assisting runaways and fugitives in their search for a new, better life either in the North or Canada. Many important cities are mentioned along with the Underground Railroad operatives who performed their duties there. However, the book focusses heavily on New York City, which would become “… a key battleground in the national struggle over slavery,” (Foner 46).…

    Did you know the United States is home to five percent of the world’s population, with twenty-five percent of the world’s prisoners and ninety percent of those prisoners being non-violent offenders? According to Us News & World Report the prison population has grown by eight hundred percent since the 1980’s while the country’s population only increased by a third. With this cancerous growth of the incarceration rate in America, the question is how far will this problem go, and how much will the American citizen have to pay before they realize the current justice system is obsolete.

    I based my NHD on the notorious mob crime that occurred in the roaring twenties. From the day-to-day danger of death to the risks one had to take in order to stay alive, the action packed era is what inspired my decision. But what primarily made me choose this topic was the infamous gamblers, smugglers, drug dealers, bootleggers, and the hit men. The well known mobsters who have integrated themselves into history. A few like Al Capone, Dion O'Banion, Charles Luciano, Meyer lansky, and Frank Nitti brought a new meaning to the word dangerous.…

    “It is primarily the blameworthiness of parental non-action, however, that justifies recognition of a tort duty to protect minor children” (Johnson & Hargrove, p. 319). “For example, in Laser v. Wilson,28 the high court of Maryland found that the parents of a two year-old child, and not their hosts, who had invited the parents and their child to a family gathering, had the duty to protect the child from the obvious danger of an open stairwell. 29 In a Texas case, a trial court entered a tort verdict against a mother who had failed to protect her daughters from abuse by their father.30 In another passive-parent case, in Minnesota, "the mother of a 21-year-old woman who was molested by her father as a child [was] found jointly liable for part of a $2.4 million jury award against him" (Johnson & Hargrove, p.…

    In the short story Going to Meet the Man by James Baldwin, we see how a young, open-minded boy can grow into a full-fledged racist based on extensive conditioning. With aspects cultivating from his environment, jealousy and the resulting hatred, as well as the seeming normality behind accepting these beliefs, these are the major reasons that guide Jesse’s development. Through the process of racial conditioning, Jesse goes from a young man with an African American friend, to someone who is not afraid to target anyone based solely on their skin color. The largest attribution to Jesse’s hatred towards blacks can be found in his environment. In the post-Civil-War south, there is a great deal of anger and bitterness towards colored folk.…
