Looking into the eyes of the traitor. Hate fills every bit of your heart. All you can think is “I want them dead”.

The Reign of Terror was the killing of hundreds of people who were suspected of committing treason and fighting for Prussia/Austria. Individuals argued if this was justified or in other words if they had a necessary reason…

Orwell’s primary goal in 1984 is to demonstrate the terrifying possibilities of totalitarianism. The reader experiences the nightmarish world that Orwell envisions through the eyes of the protagonist, Winston.

As no other democratically selected leader existed in the world, there was no precedent of how such a leader would operate. Up unto this point, George Washington had proven his abilities as a general and subsequently as a leader. That being said, there were many dealings, including fiscal policy, with which Washington held no knowledge. Washington understood the limitations of his own abilities…

his naval contingent provided valuable assistance by preventing reinforcements from reaching the French fort. A two-month siege ended in June when British soldiers staged an heroic (and almost comic) raid on the fortress, forcing its capitulation. George II later rewarded Pepperrell with a baronetcy, the first American colonist so honored. The French fared somewhat better on the western frontier, where their position at Crown Point on Lake Champlain was used as a staging area for Native American…
