Consequently, the United States of America receive all of the land east of the Mississippi River. The Trail of Tears impacts both Native Americans, and the United States. In…

The Indian Removal Act, or Trail of Tears, was a massive forced migration of many Indian tribes in the southeastern United States in the mid 1800’s. The Indian Removal Act caused a massive disturbance in the Native American tribes of the southeast United States. In the early 1830’s thousands of Cherokee Indians lived on a vast expanse of the southeastern United States, however, in the end of the 1840’s hardly any remained as a result of the Indian Removal Act (History).

As I am getting closer to graduation, I was frequently being asked from friends and families “What’s your plan after graduation?”, if I was asked about this question few years ago, I would feel helpless and didn’t have the confidence. Before college, I had no control over my life because I was always hoping that I can follow others. However, four years of undergraduate at UB changed me, I have developed my confidence and independent personality. As now, I am very confident to said that I want to…

Racism still existed and angry whites had become violent against the blacks. These struggles started with the Ku Klux Klan of 1866, who were comprised of a disguised secret society of white supremacists in Tennessee. They terrorized blacks by mob killings in the form of lynching: “…They wanted to maintain a South in which the white man orchestrated the black man’s movements.” These Klansmen dressed in costumes featuring themselves as ghosts to scare the poor…

At first, I wasn’t sure what I was going to end up doing with my life. I was lost, and afraid that I would never amount to anything. But as of today, I have found my purpose in life. Using my exceptional math skills, I plan on starting my own accounting business. Math is something I enjoy; I can’t remember a time when I struggled with a problem. It would bring me great joy to get paid for doing what I love. Until I get to where I want to be in life, there are some goals I must achieve. My…

Andrew Jackson President Andrew Jackson barred the proposed bill re-chartering the Second Bank of United States in July 1832. He disputed that the bill, in the form with which it had been presented to him, was totally incompatible with sound policy and justice as well as the constitution. In the veto message, the President argued that the Bank’s license was completely unfair by virtue of the fact that it gave the bank extensive, almost monopolistic power in the market particularly in the…

Building Freedom: The Freedmen and Their Quest for Egalitarianism The foundation of the United States of America was constructed upon the corpses of Native Americans. Cemented by institutionalized white superiority and racism, African American slaves were the bricks by which were used to erect this great nation. Even upon their laggard release from slavery in 1865, freedmen were far from equality, justice, and most importantly, freedom. Not only is the meaning of freedom extrapolated by Eric…

“Friendship, I suppose, comes at a price” Robert Louis Stevenson, Big World The road rushes past me as I stare down at the never-ending highway lines, listening to the Volkswagen’s engine threshing away behind us. Never thought that I’d be doing something that I’ll regret for the rest of my life, but here I am, a whole milestone away from my family, speeding down the highway before the sun rises, and as the sky turns a soft blue. I see the sun breaking the horizon as it shines its warmth down…

When it comes to success everyone has a different idea of what it should be. No one can sit down and tell you what it means to be successful . . . you have to figure it out on your own. Mainly, because success is specific and different to each person. In my opinion success is when you work hard to accomplish the goals you set out to do. When you get the drive to want to accomplish something you also get into the mindset of wanting to do good. And, when you have your drive and mindset you’ll…
