North-West Rebellion

Every hero needs a first-rate, old-fashion villain. In fact, the greater or more powerful the hero, the more despicable must be the villain, for the sweetness of victory lies in its difficulty. The question must then be asked: Can villainous victories taste as sweet? Could an audience of normal, decent human beings really find it in themselves to take joy in the victory of, say, a manipulative, power-hungry murderer? In his play Richard III, Shakespeare puts this idea to the test, not only by…

The civil war was an ugly fight between the North and the South. The South wanted slavery and the North didn't, and this is why they didn't get along, so this is why the union and confederacy formed as groups for war. During the Civil war both North and south needed people for help to finish task and to help with things the white people couldn't do. The Northern and Southern armies had pretty different point of views for the Africans services. The South needed the Africans to fill in the…

had more manpower. The Confederacy started more defensively, but as the war progressed they became more offensive. The Union was always on the offensive, hoping to reclaim the Confederacy with the Anaconda plan being the overarching strategy. The North wanted to reclaim the South but the South wanted to stay at home and defend their independence, which was the basis of the differences in their fighting styles.…

While driving about I listened to Kanye West and soon I began to consume the lyrics. As I listened, "Runaway" came on. Due to this being one of my favorite songs, it really speaks to me. Over the summer, it, along with the rest of Kanye's music, changed me. Runaway describes his realization of what he's become, and telling his love to run away from him. I realized that if I didn't change my ways, the people closest to me would also runaway from me. I remember stopping at a red light and…

cities such as Timbuktu. He, “controlled the lands of the Middle Niger, absorbed into his empire the trading cities of Timbuktu and Gao, and imposed his rule on such south Saharan cities as Walata and on the Taghaza region of salt deposits to the north” ("Mali"). Mansa Musa’s strong army constantly expanded his accomplished empire, which helped the trade industry because more farmers and slaves were able to provide for the big trading business.

The battle between our own states was a raging and bloody war for both the north and the south. Throughout the war the officers were often treated like royalty compared to that of the men that, I feel, did most of the hard work. The enlisted men did not get the same quality of goods as the officers and were forced to make good with what they got. I could not imagine sleeping in half of a tent or somehow having to find a way to join two halves together as you can see in the pictures shown at Camp…
