The most important leader in my opinion is The 32nd U.S. president, who led the country through World War II until his death in April 1945, just a few months before the war ended. Together with Winston Churchill and Roosevelt played a decisive role in holding together the Allied that ultimately defeated Nazi Germany.
Under Roosevelt's leadership, the nation rebounded from the devastating surprise attack at Pearl Harbor in December 1941, nearly achieving victory in both Europe and the Pacific. Roosevelt was neutral at the war's outset, Roosevelt did everything short of actual fighting to aid the allies. The Lend-Lease Act which provided Britain with badly needed supplies and equipment and the oil embargo on Japan in response to their aggression in Asia were major components of his policy. He ...
By the end of the Victorian period hardly a people remained on the face of the earth whose social structure, culture, and basic way of life had not been more or less violently disrupted.' -Cell, 'Imperial Conscience' When the first explorers reported that they had reached the Pacific coast, they mentioned that there were inhabitants already oc...
John Locke and Thomas Hobbes were both social contract theorists, and both natural law theorists but there the resemblance ends. All other natural law theorists assumed that man was by nature a social animal. Hobbes assumed otherwise, thus his conclusions are outstandingly different from those of other natural law theorists. In addition to his unc...
To see a scorned, beaten, and crucified man, lying dead in the arms of his mother is an image, which can inspire overwhelming emotions within the heart of an observer. Yet, for the longest time I've had such difficulty looking at Michelangelo's art in this way. To me, art has never been about expressing oneself or conveying a message to others, but...
On a damp November afternoon in 1863, Abraham Lincoln -then president of the United States of three years- gave a speech to dedicate a battlefield of the Civil Wars as a memorial for the soldiers killed there in July of 1863. It was basic, routine US President stuff. Little did anyone attending that ceremony know, the speech President Lincoln gave...
Before the portrayal of the human body can be critiqued, you must understand the artist's culture. As man evolved over centuries, his views of the body also transformed. Our tour definitely showed the drastic changes in different cultures' art. Each culture and era presents very distinct characteristics. Through time and experimentation, we have ex...
The Great Depression was the worst economic slump ever in U.S. history, and one that spread to virtually the entire industrialized world. The depression began in late 1929 and lasted for about a decade. Many factors played a role in bringing about the depression; however, the main cause for the Great Depression was the combination of the greatly un...
The American Revolution contributed to the way we live by helping us develop a world with sense. Today we are up to date with things and really do not have to rely on trade over seas. We today can grow our own crops, produce clothes, and even afford to go shopping and the mall and grocery store. I would have to say today we we are better off than e...

During the Salem witch trials, many violations of today's Universal Declaration of Human Rights occurred. Inclusively, some are still being done today. Upon having a victim under an acusation, many articles were not respected. This is shown in the manner in which past time juries treated the accused. In my opinion, the articles that during those ti...
"Roosevelt was indeed a liberal because he created numerous government agencies to alleviate the problems of the Depression. Hoover was indeed a conservative because he initiated no new policies that would increase government's role in alleviating the people's suffering." (These 2 sentences are your thesis. Now you are going to give the topic sente...
is one of the western films that can move you by its existentialist themes, where an individual's values are above the societal norms and where the authenticity of being is existence. This is the story of a man who creates his own choices and stands up for the right reason when he is confronting such limit-situations as chance, suffering, conflict,...
What would you guess were the main causes of the Civil War? -I would think the main causes of the civil war had to be about money, power, how nationalism had to change to sectionalism, and economic and social differences. What arguments of the abolitionists do you find convincing? - I actually find all the arguments convincing because slavery...

On paper the North was far stronger than the South. It had two and a half times as many people, and it possessed far more ships, miles of railroad, and manufacturing enterprises. Southerners, however, had the advantage of fighting on home ground with better military leadership. But Union superiority in manpower was not so great as the gross figur...
