This drove the American people to fight for land and to take it from other countries. The Mexican-American War started with the American President, James K. Polk using manifest…

the continuous coast-line of the Bay of Bengal, stretching for nearly 1200 miles, from Cape Comorin to the Chilka Lake. The western coast was formed by the shores of the Indian Ocean and the Arabian Sea, for about 540 miles. Running parallel to the coast on the west was the high range of mountains, the Western Ghats, which in parts attained an elevation of 4,000 to nearly 7,000 feet, while a broken series of hills, very much lower in height, followed the general line of the east coast. Off the…

After the First International Conference on the sleeping sickness in 1907 I was sent to the Gold Coast in western Africa to study the disease and provide new ways for the British Government to combat the disease. Sleeping sickness is a vector-born, a parasitic pathogen, disease spread by the tsetse fly. The disease comes in multiple stages. The first stage’s symptoms include fever, itchiness, joint pain, and mild headaches. The second stage is how the disease gets its name because people who get…

Atlantic, the Indian and the Southern Ocean. The west and east coast of South Africa are geographically and oceanographically distinct, supporting a wide variety of marine life. The west coast of South Africa is characterised by the relatively cold, slow-moving Benguela Current. The marine life along the west coast is adapted to colder temperatures. The waters of the west coast are nutrient-rich and support a large abundance of fish. The west coast is also characterised by upwelling, which…

charges against one of the ‘important men” of the Gold Coast. However, because of Hutton Brew’s skilled questioning, he is able to put Abina on the defense stand about her status as a slave. Hutton Brew argues that she was in fact a free woman and the court should throw out the case. The case however results in a jury trial resulting in the acquittal of Quamina Eddoo by a jury of his peers who also were considered “important men” of Cape Coast. The Jury believed that it was against the best…

gorgeous sunset, you’re sure to have a good time. Aside from the beauty, beaches, and fun that lures locals and tourist, the Seafood Industry and weather are also popular draws. In my opinion, seafood here, is one of the best things about being on the coast! This is why Biloxi is known to be the Seafood Capital of the World. The seafood industry has increased over time and has been a way of life for many generations. This industry has brought many communities together, such as the Slovenians,…

as cocoa can become such a sweet savory food as chocolate? There's a darker story behind how they get this food that is still sadly happening to this day in the Ivory Coast. From child labor, dying animals, and people just doing nothing to stop this. The negatives far outweigh the positives in chocolate production in the Ivory Coast. Chocolate as we all know and love it, is a sweet food that had originally been a bitter drink for the Europeans. As stated in the article, "Is Chocolate Good for…

Feuds have been going on for many generation between families or groups of people for no reason. The book Huckleberry Finn and in the two articles “Hatfields and McCoys” and “East Coast vs. West Coast Rappers”; they each describe a feud that happened in either the story or in the articles.
