The Civil War started in 1861 and was between two factions in the United States-the Union and the Confederacy. Hundreds of thousands of people were killed, and millions more were wounded in battle. This begs the question: Did all these people really have to die? Could this war have been avoided?

One assumes when someone talks about Detroit that they live there and give the person the utmost respect despite only visiting or living outside of the city. What caused Detroit's descent from a wealthy, vital city into one where "ruins" are common and the city is bankrupt? The lack of care and…

Resistance to Slavery Before slavery was abolished, slaves only express their desire for freedom by outright rebellion. Some of these revolts in the US were smaller and less frequent. Slaves had three available approaches to fight slavery: they could rebel against slaveholders, perform small acts of resistance, or run away. In different plantations with slaves, they were all the same. It was a life of endless labor as they worked up to 18 hours a day, sometimes longer at busy periods. There…

Choices Become Habits Which Become Lifestyles Stressed. Wobbly. Uneasy. Shaky. Triggered. Pull out cigarette. Light up. Inhale. Exhale. Function again. Repeat. And repeat. And repeat again to the point that even the slightest inconvenience is what prompt the cycle. This particular example is in reference to something that unfortunately a whopping “36.5 million Americans” (CDC article, sect. 2) suffer with-- the endless habit of smoking cigarettes.
