From 1932 to 2010, approximately 4900 km2 of wetlands have disappeared from the Louisiana coast, mainly from erosion and, subsidence, and sediment depletion from the construction of levees, dams, and canals. The depletion of the barrier islands in the Gulf of Mexico will allow for uninterrupted coastal erosion. With sea level rise expected to be a catalyst for coastal erosion throughout the 21st century, future land loss is projected to be…

applying for support rose sharply.( Burney, Elizabeth page 240)The settlement laws made it difficult for people to move around to find work, as they had to have a certificate from their parish agreeing to take them back if they became chargeable to the state. As more and more families required support from the parish, discontent with the poor law grew. The payment for the poor law came from taxes on property owners but, in reality, these were often passed on to the tenants that rented the…

These parish prisons spend the bare minimum on their prisoners, maximizing profits instead.

As the first colony to speak for America’s independence from Great Britain, Virginia spoke with the unanimous voices of the gentlemen who had gathered at the Capitol building on May 15, 1776. The Capitol building was the home of the House of Burgesses, the Governor’s Council and the General Court. The Capitol building should get a commemorative coin because it was historically significant in colonial times, it has relevance to citizens today, and the future can learn about the history of the…

In Geoffrey Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, Chaucer presents a variety of characters from the three dominant groups that made up Medieval society: the Church group, the Noble’s group, and the Merchant/Commoner group.

The Parson is one of…

Obtaining my undergraduate degree was one of the highlights of my life. By day I attended classes, studied hard and completed my student observation and student teaching requirements. On nights and weekends I worked at a country club working as many shifts as I could to pay for my courses at St. John Fisher College. When I graduated in the spring of 2005 with my Bachelor of Arts in History and my initial teaching certification in hand, I was excited to teach and challenge the young minds of our…
