Was nat turner or hariet tubman mixed.?

NO...

Was nat turner or hariet tubman mixed.?
What exactly do you mean by mix?





Both people were against slavery.





Nat Turner was an abolitionist who wanted to settle to fight slavery by killing slaveowners to freed the enslaves. His goal was a bloody revenge to fight slavery.





Harriet Tubman was a abolitionist who settled the slavery dispute by going down South and using the Underground Railroad to secretly rescue the many slaves. Her goals wasn't to sought to do bloody revenges, it was meant to only freed slaves secretly so southerners didn't know who did it.





Hope this helps.

Was nat turner or hariet tubman mixed.?
Are you asking If they were racially mixed?





can you be more specific? Please.
Reply:Harriet Tubman was born to slave parents. Nat Turner lived his whole life in a predominately black area and he was a slave. Evidently, he had bright skin, but was not of mixed race.
Reply:Well, given that slaveowners had the freedom to sexually molest their slaves if they felt like it, I suppose there is a possibility of anyone born a slave having part white ancestry.


In what circumstance, the Halaku Khan died ?

Was it natural death?


Was assasinated?


Was any miracle in his death?


or any thing else.
In what circumstance, the Halaku Khan died ?
Halaku started sweating profusely, he never heard anyone talking to him like that - this man was feared by all for his ruthlessness. The lemon fell on the ground. He bend down while still seated on his horse to pick up the lemon from the ground. The horse took it as a signal to gallop at her maximum speed. This shook Halaku who fell on the ground on his back but his one foot got stuck in the saddle. The horse was running like wind while Halaku was mercilessly dragged all over the place. Then he started to bleed profusely and when the horse stopped, Halaku had died a miserable and painful death. The man who loved to inflict painful deaths on innocent people, himself died that way.


How far was Germany to blame for WWI?

Well, they got ALL the blame and was forced to sign the Treaty of Versailles. The treaty said that Germany took all the blame and they lost land, money, and resources. Germany was humiliated and angry because they were the only ones who were punished.
How far was Germany to blame for WWI?
As far as you can blame any nation for protecting is livelyhood against another nation trying to grab it away!
How far was Germany to blame for WWI?
They definitely got left w/ the 'war guilt' however much they were to blame. Actually, Germany was the one convincing Austria-Hungary to fight, and when Russia decided 2 join serbia, the marched to germany, not austria-hungary. Germany took that as a personal declaration of war, and went to go defeat France, Russia's ally. But on the way to france, german troops barreled through belgium, a neutral country. This really helped the allies, it got england, japan, and some others on their side. unrestricted submarine warfare and the zimmerman telegraph to mexico got the u.s. mad. so yeah, i think germany was to blame. but they had to pay reparations, diminish their army/nave and they were left out of a lot.
Reply:Germany provided unalloyed support to Austria-Hungary in the latter's dispute with Serbia over the assassination of the Austrian archduke Francis Ferdinand.





This emboldened Austria to threaten Serbia with war. This threat alarmed Russia, which was an ally of Serbia. The Russians eventually got angry enough to begin mobilizing their army.





The Germans, with France on one side and Russia on the other, feared a two-front war. They decided if Russia mobilized for war, they would mobilize and attack France, hoping to knock them out of the war before the slower, less mechanized Russians really got going.





When Germany attacked France by going through neutral Belgium, the English declared war on them.





So, the Germans took the actions that turned a local spat between Austria and Serbia into a continent-wide conflict, but they were provoked by others who should have known better.
Reply:Germany deserves the Lion Share of the blame because Germany had the means to prevent the War. No matter how beligerant Austria-Hungary was, if the Kaiser had shouted loudly and clearly, "NEIN," then the Austrian-Hungarians would have either backed down or in a worst case scenario, there would have been a localized war against Serbia.


IF France and RUSSIA had intervened at this point then everyone would be blaming them and not Germany for World War One.


By violating Belgium neutrality, Germany insured Britain's involvement in the whole mess.


Final note - - - World War One was the fault of Diplomacy gone wrong. Entangled alliances, toothless treaties, a mish mash of egos and aims at cross purpose but still Germany was the biggest fish in the barrel and German armies poised on Austria's Border would have sent a clear message.





Peace////////////////\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\...
Reply:Certain sections of the German army were already talking about war with France as 'inevitable' as early as 1910. The Kaiser was a militarist adventurer, and the Germans were wholly to blame.
Reply:If you mean the German government, then they bear most of the blame. First, the kaiser gave Austria a 'blank cheque' to act as harshly as they liked against Serbia, and second, when he was starting to get cold feet at the prospect of a wider European war, the General Staff intervened and told him that if he didn't go to war with Russia, Russian railway-building in Poland would make German's Schlieffen Plan unworkable.
Reply:Guilty.


They were looking for a fight, wanted to destroy France's renewed power because France had allied with Russia, thus creating a threat on both side of the German Empire. There were talks of war against France as early as 1910. The Austrian Empire was looking for a fight because its power was waning and it thought it was now or lose power forever.





So when the Austrian Archduke was murdered by a Serb the Austrians took advantage of that to turn on the Serbs who had been making a lot of trouble in the Austrian-Hungarian empire. When the Austrians threatened the Serbs the Russians, allied to the Serbs, declared they would intervene, the Germans said they would help the Austrians, signed an alliance with the Ottoman Empire against Russia and declared war to the Russians, and the French caught by their alliance with Russia were dragged in the mess and said they would not stay neutral. Germany invaded Luxembourg, ordered Belgium to surrender and declared war to France. Great Britain declared they would protect Belgium's neutrality and when Germany invaded Belgium declared war, dragging in automatically the rest of the Commonwealth (Canada, Australia, India, New Zealand, South Africa). Then Austria declared war to Russia and Serbia, France declared war to Austria, then Great Britain declared war to Austria. And then Japan declared war to Germany.





You'll notice that Germany was the one who declared war and attacked the others first.

What is your view of the Holocaust?

When do you think it started and why?





I think there was no long term planning. However in 1941 Goering gave Heydrich a order to find the "complete solution to the Jewish Question." So I think there was short-term planning, and the actual Holocaust started in the Autumn of 1941, due to the strucutral pressures of the war, Hitler's government, and the Mommsen's cumulative Radicalization.





Whats your view?

I was born in the 80's so I don't really have any. I wasn't around to help them/ neither did I know the reason for Hitler doing what he did. It might have been justified. ???

absoloutly disgusting makes you want to kill every nazi and send them to hell as well as every other racist.
Reply:"absoloutly disgusting makes you want to kill every nazi and send them to hell as well as every other racist"





I do not support the statment above.





I would like to announce before I continue on that I DO NOT IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM FOLLOW THE BELIEFS OF NAZISM. I am simply adding historical facts/ Information





It was proven that over 90 percent of the Germany ARMY did not want to be where they were. It was not that they wanted to be there, granted some of them did, but they had an obligation to serve their country just as US servicemen fight for theirs.





I currently live in PA, USA and I had a great Uncle in the German Army, i have pictures of him with his kids and his wife, did he survive the war??? Nope, he was killed by the Russians who had a one point view. Would I have stood up for Hitlers doings? HECK NO. Would I serve my country in a time of calling as stated in your oath? Yes.





I think that the only people you could really call Nazi's are the ones who are responsible for the actions or further more who supported the actions and undertook in gruesome slaying of millions of people. The ones fighting on the ground, fighting for their country, are soldiers. They had lives too, they had family to go home to. I collect pictures from World War II, currently over 300 original black and white photographs of both the American and German countries. They are both the same, just differant uniforms.





The point I am trying to get accross, with respect the the creator fo this question, is that more than 90% of the German ARMY did not want to be doing what they were doing, but they had to because it was their duty.
Reply:The Holocaust had as its beginnings the folklore of Scandinavia and the Germanic peoples that was prevalent for hundreds of years prior to Hitler. It was called the "Volkish" ideology and held up racial purity as an ideal. The other problem was the history of the Jewish culture as the money lenders - a profession that was considered "dirty" throughout history - and often as magicians and witches because they were also often the doctors and surgeons of any locality. They were widely hated and pushed out of towns so regularly that they carried their wealth in gems and gold so it would be readily portable.





When Germany was reeling from inflation and poverty after World War I, Hitler and his men took advantage of these ideas to further their cause. So my answer would be that it was a long time coming and Goering and Heydich just took advantage of the economic and social ideas of the time and used them to their own devices.

Has the murder count increased since the abolition of hanging?

i think its fair to say it has! i dont think its due to hanging bein abolished, i think capital punishment is wrong, but i think that prisons need to be less cushy!
Has the murder count increased since the abolition of hanging?
People think it has. But the reality is the opposite.





The Death penalty is a deterent until some one kills. Then it has the opposite effect.
Has the murder count increased since the abolition of hanging?
It seems to have done so, but obviously the figures need careful examination. What, exactly, counts as a murder?





Firstly, when I was a boy just after the 2WW, it was murder when someone assaulted another intending serious harm, and the victim died. Nowadays, unless there can be shown to have been an actual intention to kill, the charge will be manslaughter or, depending on the circumstances, perhaps even a lesser charge.





Clearly, to establish whether there has been a real or only an an apparent rise in murders, we must accept a common definition. It might not matter which one we use, but we must use the same definition for any two periods under comparison.





Next, we have to consider the probability of detection. If (say in 1950) a poisoner had a 50% chance of the death being accepted as natural, while improved analytical technique meant that in 2000 he had only a 1% chance, the rate of poisonings will seem to have doubled over 50 years if it actually remained constant in that period. The same applies to all other changes in police method, technology etc. Improved detection is of course not the same thing as increased criminality. For instance the number of speeding fines has gone through the roof since cameras were introduced, but I do not think that more people speed.





Numbers, then, can be misleading. On the basis of my own experience, I think that in fact our lives are more at risk than they were - but the abolition of hanging is a symptom, not a cause of a shift in society.





Society protects our lives by punishing those who take them. Now, if (as a nation) we value individual life less, the crimes and the punishments will be piecemeal and progressively downgraded. This has happened.





At one time, the deliberate killing of a newborn child by its mother was murder; a long time ago this crime was reduced to infanticide. At one time, you were protected while developing in your mother's womb; this protection has been withdrawn. At one time the life of the elderly was protected as much as that of the young; now the NHS progressively withdraws medical support after the age of 70, and euthanasia is under discussion.





The systematic reduction of the punishment for killing (there is a move away from the life sentence at this moment) is only a symptom of our increasing disregard of the wish of individuals to go on living.





With this as background, it is not surprising that our children are popping each other off with knives and guns. They are doing as children always do - absorbing and responding to the manners and opinions current among their elders.


Has Hitler left an after effect on planet earth?

I mean, are some still effected by him starting the WW2 ?





Take Israel for example, would they have existed if it wasn't for Hitler. Would it still be Palestine? So are Palestine suffering now because of what happened in WW2?
Has Hitler left an after effect on planet earth?
Yes, the example you used is certainly true. There would be more people in Europe, perhaps leading to overpopulation. Germany would be bigger. There are lots of effects.
Has Hitler left an after effect on planet earth?
I suspect that German nationalism would have come about anyway. I'm not sure that any other high ranking Nazi would have been any less cruel or less successful in leading the Germans into the war, with all its atrocities.
Reply:Yes , a butterfly flaps its wings .
Reply:i actually believe that because of all the wars and the nuclear bombs being built and built in the past that is has deprived and caused global warming
Reply:Yes. The jewish population massively declined. People are also more prejudice of jews aswell, despite hating what Hitler did in the holocaust and felling sorry for them. Geographically, Germany is different. Many today follow the nazi party and it won 9.7% of the vote in the previous american election. It put Eurpoe into massive debt which was only finished being payed off about 20 months ago.





However i beleive that israel has something more to do with the cold war then WWII, although it did have some influence.
Reply:Hi Adski,


The world will never rid itself of Hitler.


Every time his name is spoken we are reminded of who and what he was.


As for Palestine and it's people , their fate was sealed long before WW2.


The Palestine problem became an international issue towards the end of the First World War with the disintegration of the Turkish Ottoman Empire. Palestine was among the several former Ottoman Arab territories which were placed under the administration of Great Britain under the Mandates System adopted by the League of Nations pursuant to the League's Covenant (Article 22) .


All but one of these Mandated Territories became fully independent States, as anticipated. The exception was Palestine where, instead of being limited to "the rendering of administrative assistance and advice" the Mandate had as a primary objective the implementation of the "Balfour Declaration" issued by the British Government in 1917, expressing support for "the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people".





During the years of the Palestine Mandate, from 1922 to 1947, large-scale Jewish immigration from abroad, mainly from Eastern Europe took place, the numbers swelling in the 1930s with the notorious Nazi persecution of Jewish populations. Palestinian demands for independence and resistance to Jewish immigration led to a rebellion in 1937, followed by continuing terrorism and violence from both sides during and immediately after World War II. Great Britain tried to implement various formulas to bring independence to a land ravaged by violence. In 1947, Great Britain turned the problem over to the United Nations.


After looking at various alternatives, the UN proposed the partitioning of Palestine into two independent States, one Palestinian Arab and the other Jewish, with Jerusalem internationalized (Resolution 181 (II) of 1947). One of the two States envisaged in the partition plan proclaimed its independence as Israel and in the 1948 war expanded to occupy 77 per cent of the territory of Palestine. Israel also occupied the larger part of Jerusalem. Over half of the indigenous Palestinian population fled or were expelled. Jordan and Egypt occupied the other parts of the territory assigned by the partition resolution to the Palestinian Arab State which did not come into being.In the 1967 war, Israel occupied the remaining territory of Palestine, until then under Jordanian and Egyptian control (the West Bank and Gaza Strip). This included the remaining part of Jerusalem, which was subsequently annexed by Israel. The war brought about a second exodus of Palestinians, estimated at half a million. Security Council resolution 242 (1967) of 22 November 1967 called on Israel to withdraw from territories it had occupied in the 1967 conflict.

The Palestinens are still waiting.


Adski, I hope this is what you were looking for.


Good luck my friend,


Cathorio.
Reply:To some extent, you are correct. There might not have been an Israel - at least not so quickly - if not for the horrors of the holocaust.





But there are lots of other reasons the Palestinians can point to. There should have been a lot more attention paid at the time Israel was created to what would happen to the non-Jews already there. If it had been handled differently, perhaps things would have gone better.
Reply:No one can ever wear that mustache again...
Reply:Absolutely, without Hitler the Palestinians would not have been dispossessed by the jews


Ireland and the Monarchy?

According to the norman chronicler Gerald De Barri in themiddle ages the coronation ceremony in Ireland required the Irish king to publicly have sex with a white horse, kill it and then bathe in a stew made from its remains. I know the Irish are keen on horses but wasnt this going Too Far! What do Irish politician have to do to become president?!?

Reply:I also don't think a Norman chronicler would've been the most reliable source for that info....
Reply:history is writen by the victors and i think it a myth too far! talk about spinning a yarn! :D
Reply:That sort of thing DID go on in ancient times, not just In Ireland, but Britain, Europe and the near east, mainly among uncivilised peoples. But they HAD died out by the middle ages!





Romans, Greeks, Egyptians, Assyrians, Babylonians, Hittites, Persians, Arameans, Phoenicians, Carthaginians etc and other advanced peoples never took part in such practices.





But this sort of thing was known among Cimmerians, Gutians etc in the near east, and among, Illyrians and variois germanic and celtic peoples in ancient and pre christian times.





However, by the time christianity had spread to those areas, these practices had died out, so i think the Norman Chronicler was engaged in a bit of cheeky propaganda!

Who was a better President? Jefferson Davis, or Thomas Jefferson? Why, or why not?

Thomas Jefferson by far.
Who was a better President? Jefferson Davis, or Thomas Jefferson? Why, or why not?
Thomas Jefferson because he accomplished more in his life (president or not).
Who was a better President? Jefferson Davis, or Thomas Jefferson? Why, or why not?
well considering jefferson davis was never the president of the u.s. but the confederacy, i would go with thomas jefferson. it was through jefferson's brilliance that we made the louisiana purchase, slashed army and navy expenditures, cut the budget, eliminated the tax on whiskey, and reduced the national debt by a third. He also sent a naval squadron to fight the barbary pirates, who were harassing american commerce in the mediterranean. jefferson davis did nothing to better either the u.s. or the confederacy.
Reply:Thomas Jefferson. TJ contributed many things to America. He signed the Louisiana Purchase, sent the Lewis %26amp; Clark team out to explore the American Northwest and he contributed to the Declaration of Independence. His contributions to science and nature are many. He was even an inventor. He is also the founder of the University of Virginia and a huge supporter of education and learning. He helped to establish democratic laws in the newly independent colonies and served his country as a member of the Virginia legislature, a member of Congress, Minister to France and Secretary of State.


Jefferson Davis on the other hand was not a capable leader. As president of the Confederate States, he neglected domestic policies and could not manage opposition in the congress. Davis was a poor judge of character and did not make use of talented men that he did not like simply because he did not like them. After the Cnfederate States fell, Davis was charged with treason and spent two years in prison.
Reply:Thomas Jefferson. The Guy wasn't perfect, but He did a lot to advance America during His tenure.


Jefferson Davis had His Nation's best interests at heart but He was a horrifically bad micromanager who interfered in Military Strategy way too much, and as a president He was too autocratic and overbearing. Great question.

Were the crusades really defending Europe or were the Muslims attacking Europe to defend their homeland?

I understand this is very biased, but I wish someone can give me a website or source that shows what the Muslims did was to defend rather than what so many "history" books say that happened. Please be humble and open minded in your response.
Were the crusades really defending Europe or were the Muslims attacking Europe to defend their homeland?
Aggression and defence happened both ways.





In the Dark Ages the Muslims attacked Europe from the south - there was a strong Muslim presence for a long time in Spain, Italy and France, for instance. The reconquest did not come to in end until Isabel %26amp; Fernando took over the last scrap of southern Spain in the late 15thC.





Muslims also attacked and colonised large areas of central Europe. Hungary, Austria and Yugoslavia all suffered.





When they had the power the Western states in their turn went out looking for land, power and strategic advantage. The crusades took advantage of weakness and ongoing power struggles in the Holy Land to establish the Kingdom of Jerusalem. The Spanish later invaded N. Africa (where the invasion of Spain had come from, of course). By the 19thC the Christian west had its collective tail up, and was doing more or less what the Muslims had been doing earlier. French and British influence spread along the N. African coast, and poor old Mohammed was on the back foot.





So, no. What the Muslims did was attack, bloody-mindedly and selfishly, as long as they could. That was also what the Christians did when they could get away with it. So do the Chinese, the Hindus, the Japanese, old Uncle Tom Cobbleigh and all.





That's the sort of species we are.
Were the crusades really defending Europe or were the Muslims attacking Europe to defend their homeland?
The Crusades were all about the western Christendom's efforts to acquire land to the east.





I say "western" Christendom because the eastern Orthodox branch of Christianity, as parcticed in Byzantium, wasn't in the crusading spirit and was in fact the target of the Fourth Crusade.





I don't know of any history or "history" book that says anything that contradicts the above two paragraphs, so I'm not clear on why you ask, but I'll post a couple of sources below.





Now, there was a LATER period of Ottoman expansion into the Balkans, -- beginning in the 1450s -- that took them right up to the gates of Vienna. In that period, it was the Moslem world, or part of it, that was on the offensive. And, actually, the poor Byzantines were wiped out as a civilization as a result. Are you perhaps confusing the two periods?
Reply:The Moslem attacks on Europe started before the year 700 C.E. The first Crusade wasn't until about 1092. By 732 the Moslems invaders had made it to Tours France which is just south of Paris. Charles Martel stopped them there. You do the math to see "who was defending what".
Reply:I don't believe the crusades to be a defensive wars for Christian Europe. I know some claim it's a response to the Islamic conquest of Byzantium %26amp; Spain in the 7th century, but that doesn't answer the following questions:





1- Why did it take Europe 400 years to respond?


2- Why did the crusaders massacared the Jews in Europe? (the Jews were the 1st victims of the crusades)


3- Why did the crusaders massacared many Christians on the way to the holy land? (the crusaders killed many Christians in Europe %26amp; the mid-east, the 1st crusader's kingdom was established was Eddasa, which they took from the Armenian Christians)


4- Some claim the Crusader's goal was to defend the Christian pilgrams from Muslim attack, but this doesn't explain why there was more crusades after king Richard of England sign a treaty with Saladin securing the pilgramig rights.





The crusades had actually started because of the political ambitions of pope Urban II. Addetionally, the Christian west used to live a dark age just as the Muslim east today. In the past Christians did many bad things against Christianity, %26amp; the Christian people as well as others. Today Muslim are doing evil that is actually against Islam %26amp; Muslim people as well as others. I believe this is the most important lesson one should learn from the Crusades.
Reply:The Muslims didn't attack Europe. They were there long before the Crusades. The Crusades were mostly treasure hunting expeditions by European nobility who used the excuse of freeing the Holy Land from the grasp of the "heathens".


Can anyone help me find out anything about the history of a japanese bowl that I have had for about 30 years?

I have searched books and the web but have never seen anything else that resembles it. I think it is stoneware and I bought it in an antiques auction in the 1980s. It is about 10" wide at the top and tapers to a pedestal of about 6" in diameter. The main body has a crackle glaze and it has a band of dull brown with tooling top and bottom. The outside has detailed decoration of what seem to be samurai warriors carrying spears on horseback and these are brightly coloured in what looks like an enamel finish. The horses have really wild eyes! Inside it is quite plain appart from a white egret in the centre. I love this bowl but would love to know more about it, where it came from and what age it might be. There was no information about it when I bought it at the sale so if anyone can help I should be most grateful for anything they can tell me.
Can anyone help me find out anything about the history of a japanese bowl that I have had for about 30 years?
Without a picture to go by, hard to help. Look at the bottom and see if there is any kind of mark or engraving on it. You might have some luck researching the mark instead of the bowl itself. You may be able to find something out about it by taking it to an antique shop. Find one that seems to carry items of similar type and style, and they may be able to help you. You could have a Noritake, or other make Nippon bowl. Some of these are very collectable. And can be worth quite a bit. It may be pre WW1 or not. Depends on what a manufacturer's mark might tell you. If there is a mark, and it says Nippon, it may be older. If it says Japan, it's likely more contemporary.


Good Luck

About the Vietnam war?

How did the philippines and other countries (other than the united states) became part of the vietnam war?
About the Vietnam war?
They were basically bribed to participate as American allies.


South Korea received a great deal of aid as did the Philippines. In almost all cases the aid went mostly into the pockets of the ruling families in the countries that joined USA in her efforts to rule over French Indo-China.


Countries that refused to enter the conflict on the US side faced trade embargoes
About the Vietnam war?
cambodia became part of the vietnam war becuase it was neutral and it allowed the viet minh to station supplies and camps over there border. the ho chi minh trail also ran into cambodia. the reason for international involvement in the vietnam war was much the same as the US reason, to contain the spread of communism, or to help communism.





for the vietnamese the "anti-american war" wasnt ideological. they just wanted their country to be united and independent , free from foreign occupants.
Reply:Many became involved because they didn't want the murdering puppets of Moscow and Peking from invading their countries.

In what yesr did Ambroise Par茅 Invent his cool salve and use of Ligatures?

i need to know the year please


:D
In what yesr did Ambroise Par茅 Invent his cool salve and use of Ligatures?
After the Battle of Marciano, in 1554, Ambroise Par茅 discovered that egg yolk, oil of roses, and turpentine for war wounds instead of boiling oil was a superior salve. This was an ancient roman turpentine remedy. The following day, he observed that it was more efficient for healing wounds than the traditional boiling oil. The wounds were also less painful and weren't swollen.


Great Depression effects on African Americans?

If the Great Depression brought about financial hardships to the American population at large, describe how it affected African Americans in particular.
Great Depression effects on African Americans?
do your own homework!
Great Depression effects on African Americans?
Last hired, first fired--African Americans were particularly hard hit. Also remember that there were no laws against discrimination.





FDR tried to go out of his way to help African Americans, but there was little he could do.
Reply:there was alot of job discrimintation so they were the last hired and the first fired, they also would get lower wages than the whites.so it would be harder for them to support their families. also when it came to buying food or things that were at a low supply, they would not be able to get them, the white always had first dibs.
Reply:The african americans took the same tole as americans!!


Was JFK a good president?

Was he a good president or is he remembered so well because of his early death? The negatives I can think of are the bay of pigs, increased involvement with Vietnam and being bullied internationally by Krushchev early on and on the other hand Cuba was a p.r success.


Would be interested as to what you think.
Was JFK a good president?
HELL YEAH!
Was JFK a good president?
Yes he was a good prez!!
Reply:yesi think he was and then the space program but then its all a conspiracy he still is alive oswald didnt shoot him its in the video * cia tackles yound stunna trying to prove it all*
Reply:He was a lot of charisma, leadership was okay nothing to write home about he didn't really live out his presidency to give him high or low marks. He is remembered for just a few things some good and some bad like all presidents are remembered for as time passes by .. no president was ever perfect.
Reply:he was amazing.
Reply:Despite the problems JFK had, he was a great president.





Kennedy was bullied by Khrushchev, but later he was able to stand up to him, and he got the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (1963). He also established the "hotline" to improve communication between the White House and the Kremlin.





Kennedy was very successful with his "Good Neighbor Policy" in Latin America, and no president since has had similar results.





Remember how well he handled the steel strike of 1962.





JFK inspired a generation--landing on the moon, the Peace Corps. Many people hope that Obama will be able to repeat his performance.
Reply:He wasn't too bad, He did save the economy by lowering taxes. He would stand up to our nations enemies a LITTLE bit, but could have done better... a lot better.
Reply:In my opinion, he was a good president, if not a great one. He made Kruschev back down in Cuba, and he vowed to go to any cost, to go anywhere, to pay any price to defeat communism.





Here at home, he strongly supported education and began the era of civil rights. LBJ's Civil Rights Act of 1964 was really Kennedy's, but Jack died before he could implement it.





Kennedy's challenge for the space program had the side-effect of making many products available to the common consumer including color TVs (they used to be black%26amp;white) micro-wave ovens, cell phones, and personal computers.
Reply:He was so-so.


He and his whiz kids were a bit too arrogant for their own good, especially considering the overall lack of experience. The Bay of Pigs disaster wouldn't have been so bad, except that Kruschev saw him as a weak leader, and the increased involvement in Vietnam was one of several responses primarily personal on Kennedy's part to show that he was, too, tough.


The Cuban missile crisis is as close to total nuclear war as we've ever been and it was entirely Kennedy's fault.


The man who would "pay any price, bear any burden..." for liberty, when the president of Vietnam didn't do as he wanted, turned himself into Henry II and Diem into Becket without a thought.


He did make strides in civil rights. The fact that the whole concept was a mixture of campaign strategy and Johnson encouragement, rather than from any interest on his part, shouldn't detract from that fact. Of course, as usual, the whiz kids' arrogance made for some heavy-handed tactics that caused undue resentment in the south, and set up an extra decade or two of friction, but that's not too bad.


Probably his greatest success was the simplification of the income tax codes and lowering of tax rates, thereby increasing government income and giving the Republicans from Reagan on a club with which to beat the Democrats over the head.

Few American History Questions?

1.) Name one event that ended the cold war.





2.)What two events during the Kennedy administration increased tension between the U.S. and the Soviet Union?





3.)Explain how the Cold War was never an actual war:





Why did the U.S. get involved in the conflict in Vietnam?





How did the U.S. originally contribute to the war in Vietnam and what allowed for LBJ to widen the war?
Few American History Questions?
1. Soviet war in Afghanistan.


2. Many. U2. Bay of Pigs. Missile Crisis. Berlin Wall. Vietnam.


3. You and I are alive because the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. didn't fire 10,000 nuclear missiles at eat other.


4. The French failed, and the U.S. wanted to prop up an anti-nationalist and anti-communist regime.


5. I'm not sure exactly what Ike did, but JFK sent over 1,000 military advisers. The Gulf of Tomkin Resolution allowed LBJ to send 500,000 + troops.
Few American History Questions?
Allie,





1. Two events actually:


a. Reagan building up the US military at a pace the USSR couldn't compete with


b. USSR defeat in Afghanistan





2. The two events were:


a. Francis Gary Powers getting shot down over USSR in the U2


b. The US blockade of Cuba during the Soviet Missile Crisis





3. There was never any combat between the US and USSR. Their weapons were frequently tested in Viet Nam, the Middle East, and Central America.





The US became involved in Viet Nam when the French pulled out leaving South Vietnam vulnerable to North Vietnam and communism. The mind set of the time was "Better to fight communism there than here."





The US's original contribution was Special Forces (Green Berets) going to Viet Nam to train their troops, and raise up and train insurgents.





In early August of 1964 two US Navy destroyers (USS Maddox, USS Turner Joy) claimed to have been fired on by North Vietnamese gunboats. LBJ gave orders for American air forces to bomb North Vietnam in retaliation, and the war escalated from there.





"Ranger"
Reply:1. The change in Soviet goverbment.


2. U2, Cuban missle crisis


3. They never fought in any battles against each other.


4. The french were getting beat by the viet cong.


5. First sent supplies to French then troops. LBJ bombed Manchuria.

Reply:after the battle at Mobile Bay (August 1864) the Confederate Army was in dire condition. However, General Sterling Price led the army into the Trans-Mississippi trying to reclaim Missouri. Here the biggest battle west of the Mississippi took place. The city then was called Westport but today it is the city of Kansas City, Missouri. The confederates lost but were not defeated yet. In the early fall, Jubal Early led the Army of the Valley into Shenandoah. Three battles took place here and the rebels were again pushed out. In December 1864 the Confederates tried to claim the Tennessee capital of Nashville. Under General John Bell Hood the rebels suffered a devastating loss.


Did the "Liverpool Salvage Corps" ever attend or assist the "London Salvage Corps" if needed in London itself?

I am helping with research for a book, and one of the things I need to find out is if the Liverpool Salvage Corps (now disbanded), were ever called on by the London Salvage Corps to assist on operations taking place in the City of London itself. This information and any other useful information relating to the Liverpool Salvage Corps would be much appreciated.
Did the "Liverpool Salvage Corps" ever attend or assist the "London Salvage Corps" if needed in London itself?
The Liverpool Salvage Corps were formed in 1842 by several insurance companies in Liverpool, England to attend fires to lessen and mitigate the effects. Similar Corps were established in London in 1865 and Glasgow 1873.





Outwardly they were dressed and operated just like Firefighters. Corps personnel drove round in vehicles which resembled fire engines. In fact the only real difference was that the Corps Tender carried heavy duty salvage equipment rather than major firefighting gear.





In later years the corps were permitted to use Blue Lights and sirens to attend incidents.





The Liverpool Salvage Corps was closed down in 1984 after 142 years service. Its demise came from the fact that Fire Brigades were given greater responsibility to provide firefighting and salvage duties at incidents to help mitigate the effects of fire - making the Corps somewhat redundant. At this time many Corps personnel joined the Fire Service.





During its operational time many retired firefighters served with the Salvage Corps.

A quote denouncing British Imperialism?

Does anyone know of a good quote denouncing British Imperialism that was written/spoken around 1900? Please cite your source.
A quote denouncing British Imperialism?
Bal Gangadhar Tilak was a freedom fighter from Maharashtra. He is known for his quote, 'Swaraj is my birth right and I shall have it'. Swaraj means self governance. India was under the British for 300 years. Tilak was a part of the trio Lal, Bal, Pal, of the extremist Garam Dal.


Lal - Lala Lajpatrai


Bal - Bal Gangadhar Tilak


Pal - Surendernath Pal


Garam means Hot.


Dal means group.
A quote denouncing British Imperialism?
There's a website called British Empire Quotes. You may find what you need there.


Personally, I think quotes defending imperialism are more compelling, since they reveal better the true philosophy behind it.


For instance, this was said by Winston Churchill in 1938:





"I do not admit that a great wrong has been done to the Red Indians of America or the black people of Australia, by the fact that a stronger race, a higher grade race, has come in and taken its place."


How did WWII airplanes get their names?

* name of the type of airplane, i.e. Mustang, Lightning, etc.


* name of the airplane given by the pilot - i.e. "Marge", "Pudgy"
How did WWII airplanes get their names?
Often a pilot would paint his wife or girlfriend's name on his plane.
How did WWII airplanes get their names?
The name was selected by the manufacturer as part of marketing.





The nickname was usually selected by the pilot, maybe with input from crew members. It was typical to select mom, wife, or girlfriend.
Reply:For the spitfire, it is the nickname of a little girl.





For the Enola Gay, the bomber that dropped the first atomic bomb, it was the mother of the pilot.
Reply:The manufacturer usually assigned these names. Except the Lightening was a name given by pilots in the U.K. Lightenings were sent there before the U.S. got in to the war. But Flying Fortress, Thunderbolt, Mosquito, AeroCobra, Black Widow, and all the rest were named at the factory.





"P" as in P-51 stood for Pursuit. (Now it's F for Fighter.) C was Cargo, R for Recon, B for Bomber, and T for Trainer. The Army used this I.D. system, but not the Navy.
Reply:With the Messerschmitt 109 series there is actually a bit of confusion about the naming. The design was originally submitted by the Bayerische Flugzeugwerke company and with the way that the military functions the design had the designation BF 109.





In '38 the company was renamed Messerschmitt AG when Willy Messerschmitt officially acquired the company. At that point the designation was supposed to be changed to ME 109. For all other Messerschmitt designs this was held to, but with the 109 the ME designation was used interchangably with the BF designation with the BF typically getting used more, with the exception of the allies who all called it the ME 109.

30,000 Years Ago, our ancestors carved figure that represented earth.?
Depending on which cave you go in to, they carved animals, people, especially hunters, and even a hand print. Interesting stuff.





Check out: "Aurignacian (c. 34,000 - 23,000 BP) - responsible for Venus figurines, cave paintings at the Chauvet Cave (continued during the Gravettian period). "
Reply:Just about every early people that could communicate had creation stories and most of them centered around animals they were familiar with so any carvings may have depicted the earth as everything from the back of a turtle to a water buffalo.


Career....??? History oriented people please?

I will be graduating with a history degree this July and unfortunately I'm still struggling with what career to pursue... BUT I do have ideas but one in partcular Im struggling with because I dont know what it's called, and it probably has an obvious name. what is it called when, you help create historical programs? like eye on the prize, or the historical geneaology project on PBS with Henry Louis Gates Jr., CNN Black in America, they obviously have people who research this info. so would you just be hired as an historian? (Iam into African American/African history) so I want to bring the minority standpoint to the entertainment/media field....
Career....??? History oriented people please?
The people you mention are professors and were already well known.


Historians mostly must teach in order to make a living, and if you want to become well known as a professor, you have to publish some original, solid piece of research. The movie industry hires a few historians when doing historical epics or period pieces, but I think this is done as a consultant. Unfortunately, there are more historians than there are jobs for them. I knew more than one PhD in history who had to do agricultural work or drive a taxi.


Best of luck!
Career....??? History oriented people please?
You mean an editorial consultant. People who secure jobs advising producers of documentaries, whether these producers are independent or whether they work for production companies associated with studios, usually have doctorates in the area upon which they advise. People like Henry Louis Gates or Arnold Rampersad are very smart and have worked hard and long to attain their positions. A degree in history is a start, though only a start. Good luck!


What Supreme Court cases showed the power of judicial review?

I'm not asking for the most influential cases, such as Roe vs. Wade, etc., but I'm asking for court cases that showed that the Court did make up part of the federal government. I'm saying that these cases probably went against what Congress and the president wanted at that time, but the Supreme Court made that decision anyway.


What 3 cases proved that the Supreme Court was just an important a part of the federal goverment as Congress/President?
What Supreme Court cases showed the power of judicial review?
I think Roe V. wade would be on that list Tinker v Iowa and Brown v Board of education this list just personal for me
What Supreme Court cases showed the power of judicial review?
NO!!! don't believe them. The most important case is Marbury v. Madison way back in the early 1800s. This is THE case dealing with the idea of Judicial Review. There are others that expanded the power of the Court, such as McCullough v. Maryland, but the first one is the key. Start there.

How was the treatment of black Southerners in 1890 different from and similar to their treatment in 1850?

Just wondering. I know about the Jim Crow laws etc., but can someone give me a clear answer?
How was the treatment of black Southerners in 1890 different from and similar to their treatment in 1850?
Similarities: 1850 - subject to direct white ruling class control limiting education, employment and freedom of movement by the control of slavery, 1890 - subject to indirect white ruling class control limiting education, employment and freedom of movement by way of Jim Crow laws passed after the Emancipation Proclamation.





Differences in 1890 - blacks can own property if they have the means. Blacks can legally marry.
How was the treatment of black Southerners in 1890 different from and similar to their treatment in 1850?

He was a WW2 Veteran ,a Soldier,who served in Europe in 1944 ,i think it was?,who,on returning home to the good ol'South, of the US of A,was attacked by racsists, and they gouged out his eyes!.this horror in 1940's America!.What do think about that?


What are the similarities/differences between the ways tha Mao Zedong and Gandhi fight for Indipendece?

The Long March of Mao and the Dandi March of Gandhi are the only similar things. The Long March led by Mao, his wife and his supporters was across the country to gather support. The Dandi March or Salt March started from Sabarmati to Dandi on the coast where they made salt against the Salt Tax imposed by the British. In China it was largely against the government KMT party, which later went to Formosa(Taiwan).
What are the similarities/differences between the ways tha Mao Zedong and Gandhi fight for Indipendece?
None. It is violence versus non-violence.


Mao fought a civil war in China. Gandhi believed in peaceful resistance or civil disobedience.

How long did the Roman Empire stand for, until it crumbled?

it started around 730 bc and then started to fall around 350 AD


i know this
How long did the Roman Empire stand for, until it crumbled?
One of the best online research places for this kind of stuff:





http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_empir...
How long did the Roman Empire stand for, until it crumbled?
Eh. It never really fell. In the Eighth century the city of Rome was beginning to blossom, by the fourth century A.D. it was all but destroyed. It's empire however went on in the East for another 1000 years. MODERN historians call this period the Byzantine era even though the Eastern Empire had an unbroken line of Emperors from Roman lineage and they referred to themselves as Roman. It is amazing to consider that if these late Romans had existed for another 40 years they would have been around to hear of Columbus' journey to the East Indies.





Not only that, but all of the Roman offices are still alive today, except one, Imperator. Many have claimed this title, the kings of the Holy Roman Empire, Romania, the dictator Mussolini, Napoleon.





Roman ideals and culture are overtly present in Europe, and they're imbued in the very soul of America. So I never agree with the assessment that Rome actually fell. Even the old city still exists in some way.





Also, here is a list I wrote for a similar question of all the things the Romans are still influencing today:





Language- Latin is the basis for most Western languages


Religion- Rome spread Christianity to all of the known corners of the world proliferating its rise to the largest religion on the planet.


Law- The Lex Duodecim Tabulae is the world's first constitution, Rome's order over its dominion rivals that of any modern country. People respected Roman order, not just the Roman sword.


Culture- The total acceptance of all races is perhaps the hallmark of Roman philosophy. Famously, "Rome didn't care what you believed, so long as you paid your taxes".


Misc- The eagle was Rome's national emblem, now it is America's. In addition, most of America's governmental and cultural icons are based on structures located throughout Rome's vast empire (Washington Monument, Statue of Liberty, Lincoln Memorial, ect.). The Holy Romans, the Romanians, Napoleon, Hitler, and Mussolini all considered their actions to be the reinstatement of the Roman Empire. Pontifex Maximus, a title given to the Roman Emperor, now belongs to the Pope in Rome.
Reply:27 BC (as an Empire when Octavian was made Augustus) to 1453 (The Eastern Empire aka Byzantine Empire considered themselves the Roman Empire to the end)

Does anybody know anything about george washington?

George Washington was known as the “Father of the country” because he was the first president of the U.S.A., and he was first person to appear on postage stamps with him being elected unanimous. He was one of the two presidents who signed the U.S constitution. He was also the greatest president the U.S.A had ever had. He was also the only president inaugurated in two cities: New York and Philadelphia, nut he had to borrow money. “Washington's inauguration speech was 183 words long and took 90 seconds to read. This was because of his false teeth.” He was one of the biggest presidents the U.S.A had because he weighed 200 pounds and he was 6 feet and 2 inches. He was the oldest son of Augustine Washington and Mary Ball Washington, but when his dad died in 1743 he was only eleven, so his half brother Lawrence became apart of the household. George had three hound dogs, so he treated them as his own family. They had weird names their were Tarter, Sweet, and Sweet lips.


George started school when he was six, but ended when he was fifteen. He joined the British Navy and when he turned 15 he became a surveyor because his mother couldn't afford to send him to college and he was a general in the military rank. At the age of 16, in 1748, Washington joined a surveying party sent out to the Shenandoah Valley by Lord Fairfax, a land baron. “He was a distinguished general and commander in chief of the colonial armies in the American Revolution.” He also fought for our freedom. George was oldest brother in his dad’s second marriage. He died when he was 67 because he had a throat infection.


“While he was growing up he learned the morals, manners, and body of knowledge requisite for an 18th century Virginia gentleman.” After a few years he was married to a widow who was rich and her name was Martha Dandridge Cutis. His wife already had two kids and their names were John and Martha. His religion was Episcopalian, so he was baptized on April 5, 1732, and His godfathers were Beverley Whiting and Captain Christopher Brooks. His godmother was Mrs. Mildred Gregory. Also he was a planter, a soldier, and a surveyor. While he was a president he had a vice president, his name was John Adams.





“George Washington led the Continental army to victory over the kingdom of Great Britain in the American Revolutionary war at (1775 – 1783.)” and he was the only president that died in the 1700’s. While he was at war he realized that the best strategy was to harass the British. It looked like he had wooden teeth, but when he was 57 he had toothaches so they he had all his teeth pulled out, from then on he wore ivory false teeth. George Washington owned ten slaves from his father, but when he grew older he freed his slaves because his attitude towards slavery had changed.





George likes to eat ice-cream and fish, that’s why in his spare time he would go fishing, and he liked to go fox hunting. He also had two ice- cream freezers put in his house at Mount Vernon. He like marijuana as his primary crop grown at Mount Vernon, but when he was three his family moved to a tobacco plantation which they called Mount Vernon. He was a very sickly child and not able to help on the plantation so he stayed at the house doing chores and gardening. That is where and why he found his love for plants and gardening. George didn’t live in the White House because it wasn’t build yet when he was a president.








There was a quote that George Washington loved it would say that “I walk on untrodden ground. There is scarcely any part of my conduct which may not hereafter be drawn into precedent."

Reply:George Washington ...........................................








George Washington (February 22, 1732 – December 14, 1799) was the first President of the United States, (1789–1797), and led the Continental Army to victory over the Kingdom of Great Britain in the American Revolutionary War (1775–1783).





Washington was chosen to be the commander-in-chief of the American revolutionary forces in 1775. The following year, he forced the British out of Boston, lost New York City, and crossed the Delaware River in New Jersey and defeated the surprised enemy units later that year. As a result of his strategy, Revolutionary forces captured the two main British combat armies—Saratoga and Yorktown. Negotiating with Congress, the colonial states, and French allies, he held together a tenuous army and a fragile nation amid the threats of disintegration and failure. Following the end of the war in 1783, Washington retired to his plantation on Mount Vernon.





Unsatisfied with the Articles of Confederation, he presided over the Philadelphia Convention that drafted the United States Constitution in 1787. Washington became President of the United States in 1789 and established many of the customs and usages of the new government's executive department. He sought to create a great nation capable of surviving in a world torn asunder by war between Britain and France. His unilateral Proclamation of Neutrality of 1793 provided a basis for avoiding any involvement in foreign conflicts. He supported plans to build a strong central government by funding the national debt, implementing an effective tax system, and creating a national bank. Washington avoided the temptation of war and began a decade of peace with Britain via the Jay Treaty in 1795; he used his prestige to get it ratified over intense opposition from the Jeffersonians. Although never officially joining the Federalist Party, he supported its programs and was its inspirational leader. Washington's farewell address was a primer on republican virtue and a stern warning against involvement in foreign wars.





Washington is seen as a symbol of the United States and republicanism in practice. His devotion to civic virtue made him an exemplary figure among early American politicians.Washington died in 1799, and in his funeral oration, Henry Lee said that of all Americans, he was "first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen." Washington has been consistently ranked by scholars as one of the greatest U.S. Presidents.





Early life.......................................





George Washington was born on February 22, 1732 [O.S. February 11, 1731]the first son of Augustine Washington and his second wife, Mary Ball Washington, on the family's Pope's Creek Estate near present-day Colonial Beach in Westmoreland County, Virginia. He was educated in the home by his father and older brother.





In his youth, Washington worked as a surveyor, and acquired what would become invaluable knowledge of the terrain around his native Colony of Virginia. Washington embarked upon a career as a planter and in 1748 was invited to help survey Baron Fairfax's lands west of the Blue Ridge. In 1749, he was appointed to his first public office, surveyor of newly created Culpeper County, and through his half-brother, Lawrence Washington, he became interested in the Ohio Company, which aimed to exploit Western lands. In 1751, George and his half-brother travelled to Barbados, staying at Bush Hill House, hoping for an improvement in Lawrence's tuberculosis. This was the only time George Washington travelled outside what is now the United States. After Lawrence's death in 1752, George inherited part of his estate and took over some of Lawrence's duties as adjutant of the colony.





Washington was appointed a district adjutant general in the Virginia militia in 1752,which made him Major Washington at the age of 20. He was charged with training the militia in the quarter assigned him. At age 21, in Fredericksburg, Washington became a Master Mason in the organization of Freemasons, a fraternal organization that was a lifelong influence.


In December 1753, Washington was asked by Governor Robert Dinwiddie of Virginia to carry a British ultimatum to the French on the Ohio frontier. Washington assessed French military strength and intentions, and delivered the message to the French at Fort Le Boeuf in present day Waterford, Pennsylvania. The message, which went unheeded, called for the French to abandon their development of the Ohio country, setting in motion two colonial powers toward worldwide conflict. Washington's report on the affair was widely read on both sides of the Atlantic.





French and Indian War (Seven Years War)................................





In 1754, Dinwiddie commissioned Washington a lieutenant colonel and ordered him to lead an expedition to Fort Duquesne to drive out the French. With his American Indian allies led by Tanacharison, Washington and his troops ambushed a French scouting party of some 30 men, led by Joseph Coulon de Jumonville. Washington and his troops were overwhelmed at Fort Necessity by a larger and better positioned French and Indian force. The terms of surrender included a statement that Washington had assassinated the scouts and their leader at the Battle of Jumonville Glen. Released by the French, Washington returned to Virginia, where he resigned rather than accept demotion.





In 1755, Washington was an aide to British General Edward Braddock on the ill-fated Monongahela expedition. This was a major effort to retake the Ohio Country. While Braddock was killed and the expedition ended in disaster, Washington distinguished himself as the Hero of the Monongahela.[16] While Washington's role during the battle has been debated, biographer Joseph Ellis asserts that Washington rode back and forth across the battlefield, rallying the remnant of the British and Virginian forces to a retreat. Subsequent to this action, Washington was given a difficult frontier command in the Virginia mountains, and was rewarded by being promoted to colonel and named commander of all Virginia forces.





In 1758, Washington participated as a brigadier general in the Forbes expedition that prompted French evacuation of Fort Duquesne, and British establishment of Pittsburgh.Later that year, Washington resigned from active military service and spent the next sixteen years as a Virginia planter and politician.

Questions about Battle of Gettysburg?!!!?
It did not END the Civil War, but it was recognized as one of the key points that marked the beginning of the Confederacy's defeat.





Up to that point, most of the combat took place on Southern territory. Leading up to the Gettysburg battle, Lee's Army of Northern Virgina found themselves in decidedly unfriendly locations, where the civilian locals offered little support to rebel troops. It was during this battle that Union Generals performed in a much more effective manner, not allowing Lee to, pretty much, have his way at directing how the fight was waged. Gettysburg was also significant in that it was one of the first and few battles where his generals often resisted Lees orders, instead of unquestionly obeying his commands.





There is no question but that the Army of the Potomac had a "home field" advantage, but, it was the fact that competent officers were able to effectively USE that advantage that, finally, sent Lee's troops packing off of the battlefield in defeat. By the way, those defeated troops lived on to fight many more battles before Lee was force to accept Grant's offer of unconditional surrender at Appomatox Courthouse.

Reply:Alexander Hamilton...................................





No, He was not the president but the first United States Secretary of the Treasury.





Alexander Hamilton (January 11, 1755 or 1757 鈥?July 12, 1804) was the first United States Secretary of the Treasury, a Founding Father, economist, and political philosopher. He led calls for the Philadelphia Convention, was one of America's first Constitutional lawyers, and cowrote the Federalist Papers, a primary source for Constitutional interpretation.





Born in Nevis and educated in New England, Hamilton volunteered for the Revolutionary War militia and was chosen artillery captain. He became senior[1] aide-de-camp and confidant to General George Washington, and led three battalions at the Siege of Yorktown. He was elected to the Continental Congress, but resigned to practice law and to found the Bank of New York. He served in the New York Legislature, later returned to Congress, and was the only New York signer at the Philadelphia Convention. As Washington's Treasury Secretary, he influenced formative government policy widely. An admirer of British political systems, Hamilton emphasized strong central government and Implied Powers, under which the new U.S. Congress funded the national debt, assumed state debts, created a national bank, and established an import tariff and whiskey tax.





By 1792, a Hamilton coalition and a Jefferson-Madison coalition had arisen (the formative Federalist and Democratic-Republican Parties), which differed strongly over Hamilton's domestic fiscal goals and his foreign policy of extensive trade and friendly relations with Britain. Exposed in an affair with Maria Reynolds, Hamilton resigned from the Treasury in 1795 to return to Constitutional law and advocacy of strong federalism. In 1798, the Quasi-War with France led Hamilton to argue for, organize, and become de facto commander of a national army.





Hamilton's opposition to fellow Federalist John Adams contributed to the success of Democratic-Republicans Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr in the uniquely deadlocked election of 1800. With his party's defeat, Hamilton's nationalist and industrializing ideas lost their former national prominence. In 1801, Hamilton founded the New York Post as the Federalist broadsheet New-York Evening Post.[2] His intense rivalry with Vice President Burr eventually resulted in a duel, in which Hamilton was mortally wounded, dying the following day. After the War of 1812, Hamilton's former opponents, including Madison and Albert Gallatin, revived some of his federalizing programs, such as a second national bank, national infrastructure, tariffs, and a standing army and navy. Hamilton's federalist and business-oriented economic visions for the country continue to influence party platforms to this day.





Early years......................................





By his own account, Hamilton was born in Charlestown, the capital of Nevis in the West Indies, out of wedlock to Rachel Faucett Lavien, of part French Huguenot descent, and James A. Hamilton, fourth son of Scottish laird Alexander Hamilton of Grange, Ayrshire. He was born on January 11 in either 1755 or 1757; most historians now say 1755, although disagreement remains.[3] A young Hamilton claimed 1757 as his birth year when he first arrived in New England; but he is also recorded in probate papers, shortly after his mother's death, as being 13 years old,[4] indicating 1755. Explanations for this discrepancy include that he may have been trying to appear younger than his college classmates or to avoid standing out as older, or that the probate document may be wrong or he may have been passing as 13 to be more employable after his mother's death.He was often approximate about his age in later life.





Hamilton's mother had been separated previously from Johann Michael Lavien[6] of St. Croix; to escape an unhappy marriage, Rachel left her husband and first son for St. Kitts in 1750, where she met James.They moved together to Rachel's birthplace of Nevis, where she had inherited property from her father. Their two sons were James, Jr., and Alexander. Because Hamilton's parents were not legally married, the Church of England denied him membership or education in the church school. Instead, he received "individual tutoring" and classes in a private Jewish school. Hamilton supplemented his education with a family library of thirty-four books, including Greek and Roman classics.





A 1765 business assignment led Hamilton's father to move the family to Christiansted, St. Croix; he then abandoned Rachel and the two sons. Rachel supported the family by keeping a small store in Christiansted. She contracted a severe fever and died on February 19, 1768, leaving Hamilton effectively orphaned. These consequences may have had severe emotional consequences for him, even by the standards of an eighteenth-century childhood. In probate court, Hamilton's half-brother obtained the few valuables Rachel had owned, including some household silver. Many items were auctioned off, but a family friend purchased the family books and returned them to the studious young Hamilton. (Years later Hamilton received his half-brother's death notice and a small amount of money.)





Hamilton then became a clerk at a local import-export firm, Beekman and Cruger, which traded with New England; he was left in charge of the firm for five months in 1771, while the owner was at sea. He was adopted briefly by a cousin, Peter Lytton, but when Lytton committed suicide, Hamilton was split from his older brother James. James apprenticed with a local carpenter, while Hamilton was adopted by Nevis merchant Thomas Stevens. Some evidence suggests Stevens may have been Hamilton's biological father: his son, Edward Stevens, became a close friend of Hamilton; the two boys looked much alike, were both fluent in French, and shared similar interests.





Hamilton continued clerking, remained an avid reader, developed an interest in writing, and began to long for a life off his small island. A letter of Hamilton's was first published in the Royal Danish-American Gazette, describing a hurricane that had devastated Christiansted on August 30, 1772. The impressed community began a collection for a subscription fund to educate the young Hamilton in New England. He arrived at a grammar school in Elizabethtown, New Jersey, in the autumn of 1772.





Education................................





In 1773, Hamilton attended a college-preparatory program with Francis Barber at Elizabethtown, New Jersey. There he came under the influence of a leading intellectual and revolutionary, William Livingston.Hamilton may have applied to the College of New Jersey (now Princeton University) but been refused the opportunity for accelerated study. In the end, Hamilton decided to attend King's College (now Columbia University) in New York City. While studying at King's College, Hamilton and several classmates formed a small literary and debating group that was a forerunner of Columbia's Philolexian Society.





When Church of England clergyman Samuel Seabury published a series of pamphlets promoting the Tory cause the following year, Hamilton struck back with his first political writings, A Full Vindication of the measures of Congress, and The Farmer Refuted. He published two additional pieces attacking the Quebec Act,as well as fourteen anonymous installments of "The Monitor" for Holt's New York Journal. Although Hamilton was a supporter of the Revolutionary cause at this pre-war stage, he did not approve of mob reprisals against those who were not. One generally accepted account details how Hamilton saved King's College president and Tory sympathizer Myles Cooper from an angry mob by speaking to the crowd long enough for Cooper to escape the dangerous situation.

How those in the Warsaw Ghetto became free?

help? i just need to know how that happened. like, what did they do in order to gain their freedom?
How those in the Warsaw Ghetto became free?
They didn't. Some managed to escape or even hide or get sent to work camps but most did not become free.





In 1943 there was a major uprising in the ghetto as the realization had dawned on everyone that they were in a hopeless situation and would die if something wasn't done. The SS and police brutally put down the revolt.





The revolt ended sometime between May and June, the majority of the remaining inhabitants were then shipped off to concentration camps and death camps, in particular Treblinka.
How those in the Warsaw Ghetto became free?
they had the Warsaw Ghetto May- July 1943 uprising, It had the Jewish people penned into the ghetto with fences and walls around it.





about this uprising; it was under supervion of the groups that made up the Israeli Agunas and other organizations that reformed in Israel


and Germany didnt know what to do with the situation, but they rounded alot of them up and sent them to death camps





David a Jew in Jesus the Messiah's amazing grace and thanks
Reply:As you can see in answers above, people from Warsaw Ghetto did not gain freedom. They started the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising mostly to die with dignity, when they realized that Germans want to kill them all in death camps.





The only Jewsh people that survived from Ghetto were those who managed to escape from Ghetto and managed to hide somewhere in Warsaw. A lot of Poles helped Jews who managed to escape - even though they knew that if Germans find out that they are hiding Jews, they will be immediately executed. A beautiful example is Polish hero Irena Sendlerowa, who helped to save 2500 Jewish children. You can read more here:

Can anyone tell me at what time period did the Phoenicians flourish?

I was thinking about 1100-1200. And he you can tell me if there was anything desirable that the Phoneicians had that other civilizations wanted.


thanks
Can anyone tell me at what time period did the Phoenicians flourish?
The Phoenicians existed between about 1600 BC to 300 BC. They developed a massive maritime economy along the West coast of modern day Turkey. The height of their power was (VERY vaguely) around 1000BC, as their naval power and culture zenithed. It declined somewhat with the gorwth of Hellenistic Greece and was eventually annexed into the Persian empire under Cyrus.

Hi Tennisss.


The Phoenicians existed from 3000 B.C. to 634 A.D

Good luck my friend,

Reply:The Phoenicians were around from before 1500 BC to about 300 BC. I would say their zenith was 900-750 BC. After that they suffered from the continental powers - Assyria, Babylon, Persia - and also from competition by the Greeks.


Why did Italy not enter the war in 1939?

This is an 8 mark AS Level question... to which I have no answer, nor can I find any in my notes or on wikipedia or google... please help! :)
Why did Italy not enter the war in 1939?
read your textbook
Why did Italy not enter the war in 1939?
Well, the simple answer was he (and everyone else) had no idea it would go so well for Hitler, he was more or less hedging his bets. Even in 1940 when the Germans invaded France, Mussolini did not declare war until victory was a foregone conclusion.
Reply:Here's a website that traces the whole German-Italian Alliance from their Pact of Steel in 1934, into the war years.


www.comandosupremo.com/Prewar.html


Or you can google up Italy in WW2 and find a variety of other sites as well.
Reply:Mostly because Italy was not ready for war yet. Both the training and equipment were still being developed. In fact Mussolini had wanted to wait at least two years to give Italy time to arm herself properly. But Hitler was an impatient man and refused to wait.

Just a really nice name for LOSER!


To be defeated usually means they were against a rival and were beaten by them. Political parties, armies. When it is applied to a person it usually means to indicate that it was more than a loss, closer to devastated.

What practice did Lincoln employ to silence those in opposition to the war?

The same way the administration does it now. Lincoln made the Copperhead Democrats (those who were against the war) appear to be unpatriotic and not loyal to the Union. People were less likely to listen to them if they questioned the Copperheads' loyalty.





Cheers!
What practice did Lincoln employ to silence those in opposition to the war?
What Lincoln did was have people people who spoke in opposition to the government arrested and suspend habeas corpus, which is a legal avenue for people who have been wrongly imprisoned.





In simpler terms, he had those who disagreed with him arrested AND took away their opportunity to free themselves.
What practice did Lincoln employ to silence those in opposition to the war?
The answers so far are correct about the NAME of practice -- it was the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus (which, by the way the Constitution SPECIFICALLY allows for in cases of insurrection).





But it is IN-correct to say that Lincoln used this as a tool to "silence those in opposition". MOST opposition (public speeches, harsh newspaper accounts and editorials) were allowed to go on. (There is an abundant record of newspapers that opposed Lincoln and suffered NO reprisals.)





Lincoln used the suspension SPECIFICALLY as a check on ACTIVE opposition to the war effort itself. For example, the first (of three) cases came after Southern-sympathizers in Maryland began to prevent (in some cases endanger and even kill) Union troops on their way to Washington, to cut off communication lines between Baltimore (and so to places North) and Washington... which could devastate the federal government





Here are a few discussions. You might find especially interesting the first - a presentation by Justice Sandra Day O'Connor

If you really want to delve into the question, check out the excellent book by Mark Neely, *The Fate of Liberty* which carefully studied the real RECORDS, and found that Lincoln's actions were far less sweeping than popularly claimed.





Another interesting, careful assessment of Lincoln's views on this matter as well as his argument against secession (though heavy reading) is Daniel Farber's *Lincoln's Constitution*
