Lone Wolf’s early life experiences took place within the Native community that had few material resources, and little economic or political control, due to a militaristic federal government imposed program that attempted to indoctrinate American Indians.

The intent of boarding schools was to force American Indian youths to become United States citizens by removing them from their…

consent from them. Autocratic rulers often limited the power of nobles and religious authorities, used military force to expand their nation’s borders, created laws, and distributed justice as it was seen fit (Document 1). Lord Acton, an English historian, had once said “Power tends to corrupt and absolute power tends to corrupt absolutely.” (Acton Institute: Lord Acton). Shi Huangdi,…

Austin Bell Professor Schroeder Religion 321 25 November 2015 Salem Witch Trials The Salem Witch Trials are a very well known piece of American history that is still heavily researched today.

literature by authors such as Geoffrey Chaucer and William Langland. William the Conqueror lived anything but an ordinary life; many scholars have explored his early life and coming to power Among these scholars was David Charles Douglas, previous historian of the Norman period at the…

exaggerate or inappropriately describe the nation and its people. As often as Americans preach the good word of fairness and equality, the American urbanites filling cities like Chicago, Atlanta and Watts were locked out of the sermon. During what historians call the Civil Rights Era (Timeline: Civil Rights Era 1954-1971), Americans would witness multiple changes in the country’s history in regards to minorities, especially African Americans. And to truly understand the lyrical significance of…

experiments (usually carried out in laboratories) are carefully designed to test a specific hypothesis, and they can be repeated. Unfortunately, many hypotheses in geology cannot be directly tested in a controlled experiment (e.g., the origin of the Grand Canyon cannot be discovered by using this approach). Geologists must collect data by mapping or collecting specimens. They must rely on circumstantial evidence, which is subject to interpretation, and therefore can be challenged. The Theory of…

To what extent did the aerial forces of the First World War impact the course of the war and its outcome? “The day has passed when armies on the ground or navies on the sea can be the arbiter of a nation's destiny in war. The main power of defense and the power of initiative against an enemy has passed to the air.” -Brigadier General Billy Mitchell. November, 1918.

Two courses of action, it was argued, were required. First, crypto-Judaism could only be overcome by the introduction of an Inquisition; second, Jewish influence over the conversos could only be overcome by their expulsion. These ideas, adumbrated in works such as Alonso de Espina's Fortalitium Fidei, continued to gain ground, and on 27 September 1480 the Catholic Monarchs appointed Inquisitors in Castile who began their work in Seville shortly after (1481). Conversos, often subjected to torture…

Introduction “Selma,” I think while meaning well, is another piece of counter revolutionary, ruling class propaganda. It is like a “how not to manual” in how not to make revolution, then and now. I was an activist in the days in question in this movie and all the thousands of revolutionary voices that were raised, back in the day, are more thoroughly crushed in this film than all the might of U.S. imperialist military, police, intelligence and public opinion creating machines…
