Prohibition was a baffling time in US history. The United State of America was place that lived for its freedom but Prohibition seems to go against that principle. The 18th amendment told people that they were not allowed to drink a beverage that they had been enjoying for years. It was historian W.J. Rorabaugh that best described it by saying “Americans drank from the crack of dawn to the crack of dawn.” But even with this kind of thinking the amendment was passed and it changed the way America…

what we have lost with this legislation and others like it. As Randy Barnett states in the Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy, “the problem with the data collection orders issues to Verizon and other telecommunications companies become obvious. These orders require the company to produce “on an ongoing daily basis ... all call detail records.” Because they are not “particular” [a clause in the 4th Amendment made in protest to the British Empire], such orders are the modern incarnation of…

By 1926, there were around 30,000 speakeasies operating out of New York City as bootlegging operations appeared across the country to supply keen citizens with liquor. As hundreds of thousands of people lost their jobs, it pushed them to become criminals just to support their families. It also, gave rise to a vast illegal…

and some its most eminent figures have been athletes who paved the way for the integration they not only hoped to enact in sports, but in society. Hence, sports have been greatly afflicted by the Civil Rights Movement, leading to the emergence of new figures who precipitated change in a once segregated nation, and one of the many influential sports legends that laid the first stone in the changes enacted during this movement, whom I deeply admire, was Jackie Robinson, whose actions later fueled…

center of the small residential area: about 50 feet wide and 10 to 40 feet deep. With no uses for the large pit, the Niagara Power and Development Company allowed Hooker Chemical Company to dump their chemical waste into the unfinished trench in 1942. Later, the Niagara Falls City School District needed land to build new schools, so Hooker Chemical Company placed a clay cap over the hazardous chemicals and sold the land. A school and about 100…

“If you want to order two cups at the same time, that’s fine, it 's your choice. We are not taking away anybody 's right to do things, we are simply forcing you to understand.” If these words about the New York Soda Ban, from Mayor Bloomberg himself, are true, then what exactly was the point of making it? You see, although the intentions of the act are well-placed and well-founded, I have to disagree with the idea of the soda ban in its entirety. I’m not saying nothing should be done for the…

simply, I have almost always been welcomed. Yet this seemed to magnify my perceptions for when I was in the minority. It is sort of akin to when a friend of mine from southern California spent his first winter in New York City, New York. The drastic change in climate from California to New York seemed to impact him more than myself, a person from a similar environment and one who has grown up…

The Love Canal is located in Niagara Falls, New York. It is named after William T. Love who intended for this location to become a dream community where water could be used to power the surrounding industries and homes. By 1910 it became evident that Love would not see his dream fulfilled. Ten years later industries began to use the abandoned ditch to dispose of various chemicals. Landfills can be safely used if they are managed properly. In 1942 a company began using the Love Canal as a…

The growth of technology spurred a new mood for the country. Although spread out and mainly on the East Coast, the result is an “engaging work of popular history”. The year 1908 was filled with radical changes in the technology that changed the way of American life dramatically. The automobile, which was introduced by Henry Ford, known as the Model T, was barreling toward transit domination even in a time of financial clout swells. The first affordable automobile was a…
