What was thought to be a family myth was confirmed by a Lincoln exhibition which uncovered the story of a historical exchange of letters between 11 year old Grace Bedell, and Abraham Lincoln, addressed on October 15, 1860. At the time of Lincoln’s running for office, young Grace Bedell thought it upon herself to advise Lincoln that he would have much more voter appeal if he grew a beard.

primarily on Hitler’s youth; where frequent anecdotes and tangents are taken to express feelings like distaste towards Marxists or favor towards the ideological central of social Darwinism. Behind such expressions, Hitler wrote the first volume in 1924, in prison for the Munich Putsch, in which the attempt to overthrow the regional government of Munich by the Nazi party occurred. Consequently, with the motives of political and social advancement, and volume one’s visitation on the mutiny of the…

in Missouri, was about the reasoning behind not believing in God. Lanny Swerdlow describes Darrow as an American lawyer, a fighter for civil rights, and movement speaker. Darrow was most known for his defense of thrill killers Loeb and Leopold in 1924. The whole quote is about the church being afraid of knowledge and what it can lead to.

France’s Resistance to the Great Depression Unlike other leading industrial economic during 1920s, France resisted the onset of the Great Depression until 1931. By the beginning of 1927, France had avoided the road to total monetary disaster and national bankruptcy that other Continental countries were experiencing. Into 1930, France remained immune to the effect of the Great Depression; when most of the industrial world was bogging down, most of the parts of French industry was still…

time in this room and took several notes on the different Acts passed by Congress that either oppressed the Natives or tried reconciling them from centuries worth of neglect. Some of the Acts passed were the Indian Citizenships Act of 1924, the Pueblo Land Act of 1924, and the Indian Civil Right Act of 1968.

Mandatory voting has become a problem in our conversations in the United States, and I believe it will continue to be one unless we do something. Mandatory voting will mean that we will be forced to vote. There are more articles about the cons of mandatory voting then about the pros, for example.
