    Fifteen days after the initial submission of the Kansas-Nebraska act to Congress, the Appeal of the Independent Democrats in Congress to the People of the United States (Appeal of the Independent Democrats) was issued (Chase). This manifesto was meant to comment on the constitutionality as well as validity of the Kansas-Nebraska act. It is obvious in its statements against the proposed bill: “We arraign this bill as a gross violation of a sacred pledge; as a criminal betrayal of precious rights; as part… of an atrocious plot to exclude from a vast unoccupied region, emigrants… and free laborers… and convert it into a dreary region of despotism, inhabited by masters and slaves. The Appeal of the Independent Democrats was signed by the senators and most of the House Representatives from Ohio, one of them being Representative Joshua Giddings, who also co-authored it along with Salmon P. Chase, then the senator. This is just one of many supports for the fact that Joshua Reed Giddings was strongly, one could even argue violently, opposed to the passage of this act.…

    In the late 1940’s, a new genre of music was starting to take shape. Music artists were starting to combine different elements of country, western, and rhythm and blues (R&B) to create what would eventually evolve into rock and roll. Of these earliest artists, Bill Haley and His Comets would rise to popularity and become known as (if not, one of) the Father(s) of rock and roll. Haley was not the creator of rock and roll, but he was the one that changed rock and roll from a “ ‘virtually an underground movement, something kids listened to on the sly,’ wrote journalist Alex Frazer-Harrison. ‘This changed after ‘Rock Around the Clock.’…

    Inigo Jones is the figure who is extolled as being the bringer of classical Italian architecture to England. He was extremely educated in classical roman forms and treatises like those of Vitruvius along with the surviving ancient architectures through his visits to Italy, and familiar with the works of the architects of the High Renaissance such as Giuliano da Sangallo, Sebastiano Serlio, Andrea Palladio, and Donato Bramante.
