summation of the entire document that the Stamp Act Congress had initiated.

Witchcraft At Salem
.... probably did not
feel that he was jumping to conclusions because of the abundance of
"witches" in those days. Even today, with the abundance of knowledge about
the way things work, some hasten to postulate "God's doings" as the answers
to all of our unanswered questions. Are we on this earth because "God put
us here"? Was it a chance arrangement of amino acids in a molecular pool
which evolved into a human being? Or does the answer lie in some different
theory that only time will reveal? Whether i .....

The Roaring 20s
.... is nothing to compaire with the
voiced movies we have today. The actors had to show alot of facial and
bady expressions to get the veiwers to understand what was happening in the
film. The most talented actor's in the twenties were Charlie Chaplai who
was known for his "tramp" look, Keaton with his stone facial expressions
(because he showed no emotion) and the famous romatic Radolph Valintino.
These three and many more entertained Canadians through the twenties.
In 1926 the voice era was com .....

intelligence gathered from reconnaissance photos of the high altitude plane

some of their tools of the trade.

American Involvement In The Cuban Revolution
.... the large middle class did not
assert democratic leadership, there was no social militancy in the working
class ranks, and the people found order preferable to disarray. Batista
could no longer legitimize his regime . Failure in the elections of 1954
showed the discontent of the people, and failure in communications with the
United States illustrated its discontent. Finally, opposing forces
confronted Batista's power: there were street protests, confrontations
with the police, assault, sabotage, and u .....

Depression Of The 1930s
.... 1924 to 1929 bore
little relation to actual economic conditions. In fact, the boom in the
stock market and in real estate, along with the expansion in credit
(created, in part, by low-paid workers buying on credit) and high profits
for a few industries, concealed basic problems. Thus the U. S. stock market
crash that occurred in October 1929, with huge losses, was not the
fundamental cause of the Great Depression, although the crash sparked, and
certainly marked the beginning of, the most traumatic economi .....

The 60s And Freedom
.... The younger generation just
wanted a chance to express their own views rather than having to constantly
succumb to the values and rules left behind by the older generation.
The two different approaches used by authors to express these views
are often representative of the two main systems used by youths to help
gain their freedoms. The first approach, taken by the Port Huron Statement
and authors such as Gerzon, Reich, Revel and Gitlin, follows the ideals of
the New Left. The New Left represents yo .....

debt to many Arab nations including Kuwait."2 The rulers of these nations
wanted some of their money back but Iraq thought they were ingrates and
were ungrateful for defending the Arab emirs from the Iranian Islamic
fundamentalism. The Arab emirs were afraid that the Islamic fundamentalists
would rise against the government and eventually take over the government
as they had Iran against the Shah. Kuwait was also afraid of this and so
they supported the Iraqi Arab .....

The Iran-Contra Affair

John Tower. The Tower commission's report in February 1987 criticized the
president's passive management style. In a nationaly televised address on
March 4, Reagan accepted the reports judgement without serious disagreement.

advantage and a bigger form of maney making in canadas economy.
Canadian soldiers on the other hand who had returned from war were
ecpecting to be employed, but not even for their bravery and fighting for
their country could they get a job. Canadian soldiers were surprised at
how difficult it was to get a job. While they were out fighting in WW1,

Destructive Generation: Second Thoughts & The 60s: Years Of Hope - Comparison
.... the Black Panther Party. The authors seem to
criticize this group by commenting on their appearances and their actions
in certain events. For example, at a cocktail party, one Panther spit in
the face of an army draftee because he brought a black friend from the army
home while on leave. When the Panther returned to the party, the people
present pretended not to notice that anything had happened. Later, when
misunderstandings occurred between two guests at the party which resulted
in one of them making a .....

Electrical lighting has unquestionably altered the average
household and will increase your farm productivity. With electricity it is
possible to make use of the entire day not just the daylight hours.
thereby increasing your farm production by being able to work at a steady
pace for a longer period of time. Imagine not having to blow out or
relight candles, with the flip of a switch you automatically lighted the
entire house. Electric lighting .....

For Another Man's Freedom
.... believe that these men were necessarily fighting specifically for the
rights of the slaves, but rather for the rights of all men including
themselves. These men were thought to be "privileged", and at the time I
am sure they believed that they were taking part in an inconceivable
historical event. I am sure that at that time they did not realize that
this would be an ongoing struggle even three-hundred years after their
existence. The soldiers entered this battle with great pride, holding
their flags .....
