    History: How Port Chicago Changed The World

    How Port Chicago Changed the World By: Abigail Port Chicago Information Port Chicago is a Navy Port in California where ammunition was loaded and shipped primarily by African Americans out to the soldiers fighting in World War II (Sheinkin). Untrained African American soldiers had to load the ammunition while white soldiers commanded them. Some of this ammunition included small caliber bullets, incendiary bombs, fragmentation bombs, depth charges, and bombs up to 2,000 pounds(Browne). The cargo nets were lowered by the ships booms into a hatch, where they were packed layer by layer and secured with dunnage.…

    Why Did England Use Press Gangs?

    Back in the Regency period there was always wars and battles going on. With all of this fighting England's navy was understocked with men. Which meant that England had to resort to more unconventional methods of recruiting men one of the more well known methods was the “Press-Gangs” Press-Gangs would seize men off the street and offer them two options. The first option was that they could volunteer for the Navy and receive the usual volunteer benefits, or if they didn’t choose that, they would be forced into service with no payment or benefits.

    Joe Jackson's Honor

    Joe Jackson won the medal of honor by putting his life on the line during the Vietnam War.

While Joe was in the spot of his ill friend the engine on the plane that he was flying had caught on fire, and no one knew what to do.

    Rhetorical Analysis Of Alfred M Green Speech

    Zealous, inspiring, and faithful. Although African Americans could not join the Union army during the first month of the Civil War, Alfred M. Green gives a heartening speech that encourages them to serve in the Union army when possible. Aware of the fact that the audience can be reluctant in joining the army because of previous and similar experiences with the Revolutionary war, Green uses several methods to help overcome these distressing moments that occurred in the past. First, Green starts off his speech by acknowledging that the heroes in America, such as Washington in the Revolutionary war, have not recognized African Americans as equal citizens, even though they risked their life to fight for America’s freedom.…

    Reconstruction Dbq

    To prevent African Americans from joining, some states did not have draft boards and more specifically, white recruiting officers often neglected to send induction notices to black I-A registrants, which were recruits that were classified as available for military service. This blatant disregard for the men who wanted to fight for their country greatly contributed to the growing spirit of rejection that concentrated on the drafting and induction process for black soldiers. There was another form of rejection but it was more indirect where it concerned new recruits, seeing as this form of rejection dealt with the existing black soldiers. In the War Department’s Office of the Director of the Selective Service, there was a lack of black advisors,…

    Native American Race Relations Essay

    INTRODUCTION Even though World War II is seen, from an American perspective, as a heroic war in which the United States fought against fascism and for freedom and equality, the race relations in the United States did not reflect these noble goals. In this essay I aim to deconstruct the ways in which race relations in the United States perpetuated systemic racism and the unequal power systems that had been in place for many years. To discuss these points I specifically highlight the cases of Japanese Internment, Native American relations, and Jewish American relations with the United States government.…

    Osborne Pros And Cons

    But Osborne often had to depend on his subordinates, all Navy officers, to keep him out of trouble. While he proudly wore his lieutenant commander’s uniform, he generally had disdain for Navy traditions and Navy protocol. However, it was invaluable to have the staunch support of Secretary of the Navy Daniels and the Assistant Secretary of the Navy, Franklin Delano Roosevelt (Chamberlain, 1935). Rudolph Chamberlain in his biography of Osborne makes a point of noting that it was amazing that in two and a half years in this position Osborne somehow avoided being court martialed.…

    Arguments Against The Vietnam Draft

    In 1955, tensions between the political stance of the democratic South Vietnamese versus the communist Northern Vietnamese rise. Because of this, the United States of America enters the war to keep political democratic interests within Vietnam and fighting off the red communist terror. However, the United States lacked a consistent amount of voluntary troops, so president Franklin Roosevelt signed the Selective Training and Service Act. This act would pick men between ages eighteen to twenty-five and conscript them into the army during times of peace and war. However, controversy over the effectiveness of the draft was put into question, and there are many points that suggest why, such as draft-dodgers, protesting, draft card burners, and exemptions.…

    Civil War In James Mcpherson's For Cause And Comrades

    The American War was the bloodiest war fought by the American people, beyond the sheer numbers of dead and maimed it was also one of three, perhaps four, wars fought on American soil. Estimates vary, but somewhere in the ballpark of 600,000 soldiers lost their lives and countless others were wounded. The battles weren’t in some far off land, but in cornfields and towns across America and the impact of the Union victory shaped the United States into what it is today. For all of its carnage the war still raged for four years and the ranks of both armies were filled predominately by volunteers. Men who were willing to put down their plows and pick up muskets, drill for countless hours, marched hundreds of miles only to stand within yards of their…

Although met with skepticism and distaste it showed to the American people that when we stand together as one nation we stand stronger. These acts taught our fore fathers the hard-learned lessons of diversity. Unfortunately, in the years to follow racism, the lack of foreign opponents, and a growing concern about possible slave rebellions all combined to omit blacks from military service in the forty years preceding the Civil War.…
