Proclamation of 1763 The Proclamation of 1763 was placed after the French and Indian war. It created a line between them and the Appalachian Mountains that the colonists couldn’t cross. People felt as if this law oppressed them and they grew angry because they had fought in war. They felt that all the hard work fighting in war should have paid for the land beyond the mountains. In anger they clogged the westward trails. Sugar Act The Sugar Act was the first law that raised revenue for England…

Would it be hard to believe that almost a one quarter of modern day United States was purchased in one large transaction? Specifically 828,000 square miles of land. The Louisiana Purchase more than doubled the size of the United States in 1803. After signing a secret treaty to return the Louisiana territory to France, France wanted to sell the Louisiana territory because they did not believe it was worth the money or the trouble since they were having a hard time holding on to Saint Dominique in…

Gods were bored of watching both humans and animals eat, sleep, and wander around. Zeus called for Epimetheus, another God who was not busy at the time, and gave him two boxes. The big box was filled with Zeus's differences. Zeus told Epimetheus to pass them out to the creatures on earth. When Epimetheus asked Zeus what was in the second smaller box, Zeus would not tell him what was inside it, but instead only told him not to open it unless he was instructed to. Soon Epimetheus was on earth…

Anaconda took place in early March 2002. Not to be confused with the Anaconda Plan. CIA Paramilitary Officers, working with their allies, attempted to destroy al-Qaida and Taliban forces. The operation took place in the Shahi-Kot Valley and Arma Mountains southeast of Zormat. This operation was the first large-scale battle in the United States War in Afghanistan since the Battle of Tora Bora in December 2001. This was the first operation in the Afghanistan Theater to involve a large number of…

feeling when we climbed the mountains. Sugarloaf Mountains could be seen from my aunt’s farm. The mountains had a purple and pink-cotton-candy color and an elevation of around 1,300 feet. When we reached the top of the mountains, I remember being able to see for miles and miles. I even recall trying to spot the farm, but was unable to do so. As we reached the top, we would have our lunch and drink our lemon San Pellegrino’s on one of the boulders hanging off the mountain. The tang of the drink…

In the first chapter of Micah we read, “Therefore I will make Samaria a heap of rubble, a place for planting vineyards. I will pour her stones into the valley and lay bare her foundations. All her idols will be broken to pieces; all her temple gifts will be burned with fire;I will destroy all her images. (Micah 1:6-7)” We see that God is promising judgment against Samaria and Jerusalem because of their sinful ways. Hays talks about how there were certain people who were, “…defrauding people of…

The article “Where Italians Speak Ladin” can serve as a case study for acculturation, Folk vs Popular culture, and isogloss. This is shown through the Ladin’s use of computer-assisted machines, costumes, busses, and the environment around them. In this article there were many examples of acculturation. The most prominent example of this was the different ways that those in Ladin carve wood. “The old skills are still alive. While several workshops with computer-assisted machines turn out wooden…

used in depicting The Great Wave in relation to the colossal Mt. Fuji. This creates a sense of implied depth through the overlapping of shapes, which suggest “an illusion of a third dimension.” This effect is emphasized by the diminished size of the mountain and the…

“Where can we find them?” “You will have to follow the path there.” He pointed sleepily to a trail in the sand. “It’ll pass through a forest and then veer nor’east toward Shadow Mountain.” The captain raised his eyebrow skeptically. “That’s if you choose to accept your quest.” I glanced at Mason, who was crossing his fingers. “Sure.” I shrugged. “It’s better than becoming a sea monster biscuit.” “That’s fine, lad.” The captain pulled a Swiss Army knife from his trouser pocket and handed it to…

every worker deserves. A 40-hour work week, decent pay that wasn't in scrip, and a sense of safety. On May 19 of 1920, members of the Baldwin-Felts detective agency arrived in the town of Matewan to evict union miners from houses owned by the Stone Mountain Coal Company. After catching wind of the detectives’ activities, Matewan Mayor Cabell Testerman and a pro-union sheriff named Sid Hatfield raised a small posse and confronted them near the local train station. A verbal argument quickly…
