Acre

Revolution, and Manifest Destiny all impacted greatly in this way. Each one allowed the United States to grow into the country it is today. But out of the three, the Louisiana Purchase may have had the greatest effect. Without the hundreds of millions of acres of land, gained by the purchase, America could never have become the great country it is today.

King Richard and King Philip had many arguments when they took siege of the city Acre. The French army then sailed back. King Richard now had full control of the Crusaders. After King Philip left, King Richard marched to Jaffa to launch an attack against Jerusalem. Saladin attacked the army while they were going to…

After completing my undergraduate degree in chemistry with a 2nd class upper honors (graduating top 5% of my class), I found myself trying to ply through the lamentable state of the labor market of my country. With an increasing youth unemployment rate of 24% (10.644 million persons) and prevalently high rate of inequality in the labor market, my need to get an already existing job was quickly converted to a challenge to create a job, I therefore made a calculated decision to pursue my…

The crater filled with rain water creating a 12-acre lake.” The people of Sour Lake were likely unhappy with how crowded their town had become, with the sight of hundreds of oil derricks literally surrounding the town, and the horrid smell…

Global warming has been a big issue in the world today. Many speakers on the topic have their own ideas on how to stop or further prevent the global temperature fluctuations. One topic has been overlooked by many on why the Earth is dying: animal agriculture. Though many people will not want to accept the simple fact that animal farming is destroying the world, evidence shows that people can halt the destruction. Greenhouse gases, land control, and human causation are all major factors towards…

Did you eat today? You can thank a farmer for that. America is no longer an agrarian society, but many people still rely on farming as their primary income. The average farmer feeds 168 people a year while comprising two percent of the population (“Fast Facts About Agriculture”). Farmers represent a small minority of the American population, but are the key component for American society to operate; this is why farmers should get the representation they deserve. Farmers around the world do not…

In September of 1939, World War II (WWII) erupted; however, until the Pearl Harbor booming in 1941, the United States wasn’t militaristically involved (Native Americans in the Military, 2015). The destruction caused an irreversible response from the United States. The government made the decision to place innocent Japanese Americans into crude concentration camps located in Arizona. In order to obtain land to construct these camps, the federal government removed the Mohave and the Chemehuevi…

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…

for us here in Ontario, it’s the Greenbelt. Ontario’s Greenbelt was established February 5th, 2005. It’s a 2 million acre (809 thousand hectare) solution for all Ontarians.
