De Las Casas
.... the Christian that loves, respects, and treats with dignity, all races and creeds. Las Casas acted as a one-man army the only way he could; he documented the nauseating actions of the "so-called" Christians so the terrible injustice committed to these wonderful and giving natives would not go unrecognised.

Death Camps Of World War Ii
.... He had control of about 150 assorted German security police and uniformed police. Twenty members had posts within the camp as well as many secondary units. There was also a group, called the Waldkommando, who operated in the surrounding forest to make sure no one could see what was happening inside. The shipments of prisoners, consisting almost primarily of Jews (there were also some Gypsies) came in on well guarded trains and a very few by truck. They were divided into groups of fifty and then t .....

Death Marches
.... those who followed. Some theorists argue that if the Jews had not been
exposed to the kind of Nazi propaganda that was utilized as a control
measure through out the early part of World War II that the mass
exterminations would have been far less effective. At the same time,
Nazi occupation of much of Europe during this period maintained an
atmosphere capable of quelling resistance, even to the horrific death
camp marches that occurred following increasing ghettoization of the
Jewish pop .....

Declaration Of Independce
.... were, “endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.” By eliminating the control of a monarchy, Jefferson envisioned a country where all men would have the opportunity to control their own destinies. Jefferson foresaw a government where individual rights would be recognized and the new government would represent the interests of all its citizens. In a democracy all these are possible to achieve.
By writing this document, T .....

Decline Of The American Empire
.... military apparatus, and has undertaken numerous foreign obligations. But as the American Empire grew more powerful, it also became more complicated, and eventually over-extended in its obligations; and hence, more difficult to sustain. It suffers from the ailments that inflict empires when they age: a loss of direction, fiscal excess, cultural degradation and a bloated military.
When a dominant empire declines, another empire emerges to replace it. It is a cycle that has held true throughout .....

American Colonies
.... Fashions and practiced religious toleration. They had a two-class system of upper class landowners and middle class professionals living in large cities. In the Southern Colonies the plantations and cosmopolitan environment dominated social life. The Southern Colonies had a strict three class system: upper class rich plantation owners, middle class small plantation owners, lower class poor whites and a population of Negroes of “no” class. As can be seen socially all three sets of colonies wer .....

Decorating The Walls Art, Reli
.... sunlight near the entrances, and by the light of oil lamps deeper within the tombs. No more than six colours were commonly used in the Valley of the Kings – black, red, blue, yellow, green and white – but these were occasionally blended to create gradations and variations of hue and tone. In the early burials it seems that the decoration was applied only when the excavation had been completed and before the actual internment. In later burials, because of their larger size and more extensive decoration, co .....

Defense Of Slavery
.... be carried with a slave of the right owner. This was a much better feeling than the down in the dumps feelings that many northern workers had.
In the North people worked in factories. The conditions in these factories were in many cases worse than that of even the worst of plantations involved in the slave trade. Wages were almost non-existent, and the conditions of living at a factory was meager at
best. Owners of these factories were greedy and did not care about the lives of their employees bec .....

Defining History
.... it was because the spirits were angry with them. Martin refers to this time as a "holy war." The pattern of contradictions continued with a series of essays called Indians, Animals, and the Fur Trade by Charles Hudson written three years after Martins book. Hudson said it wasn’t about religion, rather it was about economic relations.
The paradoxes keep on with the issues of how captured European children were treated by the Indians, James Axtell believed the children were taken and made more comfo .....

Definition Of American Democra
.... 1863, the Emancipation Proclamation was issued which made slavery illegal in the states that had rebelled and allowed black slaves to serve in the army and get other jobs, or continue to work on the plantations, as employees making money. The nightmare of slavery was over but a new one was to begin. One that was worse for it was prevalent but was secret and silent. One that exists today. One that does not shrink but rather grows. Racism was and is upon us.
Slavery in the Eyes of the South It was during .....

This spurns to the execution of Socrates for promoting different ideas and change. It is apparent today that Socrates had good ideas. Knowing what we do today we would not have executed Socrates. Now society looks upon change as sacred. Whenever it is possible that someone may be going against the change, people get scared. They do not want any possibility of .....

Although Franco's death on November 20th, 1975 precipitated a nominal shift to democracy, the transition, shaped by the institutional legacy left behind by the Franco regime, actually began much earlier.
Franco was the Caudillo of Spain for nearly forty years. From the close of the Civil War in 1939 (Franco was Chief of the Government of the S .....

Depression
.... The poverty level was astonishingly high; the United States undertook a three million-dollar slum-clearing project, by helping to provide new work over existing work. President Roosevelt firmly incorporated a new public works program. The goal of this was to provide to short term work to many and to improve the quality of the states and its cities. One of the reasons blamed for the depression was overproduction. President Roosevelt described in his speech the problem of overproduction. "…Production in ma .....
