because they had less of a recoil (“Small Arms of the Civil War”). Confederate Troopers who did not provide their own guns used standard infantry rifle muskets, but they were uncomfortable and difficult to use on horseback (“Small Arms of the Civil War”). Percussion revolvers were issued to soldiers and allowed them to shoot 5 to 6 times without reloading (“Small Arms of the Civil War”).

criminals. The idea is that Police officers are being racist in their arrests and harming people because of racism. There are news stories everywhere, talking about Ferguson, Missouri where 18 year old Michael Brown was shot or the Kentucky State Trooper, Joseph Ponder, who was shot after attempting to help the suspect. What should be done about these tragedies? What can be done to keep police safe and respect the rights of the people? Both sides of the issue can be heavily biased, but the…

what kind of person that Hitler really was. He wanted there to be a clear line of good and evil. The Jews (or the regular, hardworking people) never hurt anyone, they were kind and welcoming.

Police brutality has been happening in the U.S for a long period of time now, but recently many accusations were being made against police officers. Police brutality is becoming a hot topic because of two court cases, the cases of Sandra Bland and Mike Brown. In the Sandra bland case she was pulled over for a failure to signal, and was found dead in her cell after only having contact with law enforcement. In the case of…

The Case of Raphael Question 1 Investigating instances of child abuse is often a precarious task, as we have a natural instinct to want to believe, help, and protect children. However, children, especially under the age of five, have more difficulty distinguishing real events from fake ones and do not have the same memory capacities as adults (Costanzo and Krauss, 218).

Trooper Brian Hamilton was warned several times before to “Stop proselytizing to people during traffic stops”, but continued to pursue what he believed was “his calling of God”.
