Franklin Roosevelt 3
.... swimming. At the
1924 Democratic Convention he dramatically
appeared on crutches to nominate Alfred E. Smith as "the Happy Warrior." In 1928
Roosevelt became Governor of New
York.
He was elected President in November 1932, to the first of four terms. By March
there were 13,000,000 unemployed, and
almost every bank was closed. In his first "hundred days," he proposed, and
Congress enacted, a sweeping program to bring
recovery to business and agriculture, relief to the unemploy .....

.... running for County Freeholder. This probably brought out more democratic voters. This was a long-winded way of saying that it really would not matter who the democrats put on the ticket, that person probably would have won in Woodbridge. Using this as the basis for making decisions as to where to spend money in a campaign it would then not make sense to devote a lot of resources to Woodbridge Township with the exception of GOTV which is not usually paid for by the candidates anyway.
Most of the in .....

Frecnch Revolution
.... took over the government.
At the beginning of the revolution, events seemed minor and proceeded in a logical fashion. One of the reasons the revolution originated was the discontent among the lower and middle classes in France. By law, society was divided in to three groups called estates. The first estate was made of up clergy, nobles comprised the second and the rest of the citizens, the third estate.
The third estate resented certain advantages of the first two estates. The clergy and nobles .....

This changed his views on many things but was soon sent back to work on a plantation, this time to Thomas Auld's new farm near the town of Saint Michaels. Frederick was sad to leave Baltimore because he had recently become a teacher to a group of other young blacks. Frederick was put to work as a field hand and was extremely unhappy. Frederick then organized a Sunday religious service for the slaves which met near town. As quick as they started they were .....

Freedom And Revolution
.... lies in our conception
of socialism. What is meant by 'socialism'? The classic definition is that
of society run according to the dictum from each according to his/her
ability, to each according to his/her needs. To anarchists, material
equality is one dimension to socialism, but there is another of equal
importance, that of freedom.
The world has enough wealth to provide for all our material comforts.
Socialism seeks to liberate people from the constant worries about mortgages

French And Indian War
.... better from the colonies.
England did not allow the colonists to move onto the newly acquired land from the war. The colonists
were "land-hungry" (p.115) because they were now free to move past the Appalachian Mountains. However,
England shocked the colonies by issuing the Proclamation of 1763. This document prohibited the colonists to
settle beyond the Appalachians. The document's purpose was to enable England to work out the land problem
with the Indians as well as prevent another bloo .....

French Fur Trade
.... and different native tribes. Therefore, the trading of fur allowed early seven- teenth century French explorers to establish peaceful relations with the Natives, however, com- petitive trading also incited much quarreling between competing colonies and Indian tribes.
Since the early seventeenth century, French explorers had been able to keep peaceful relations with the Native Americans as a result of fur trading. Samuel de Champlain was a French explorer who established one of the first trading post .....

French Revolution 3
....
When Louis, reacting to pressure from the queen and others, concentrated loyal regiments in Paris and Versailles, the people of Paris reacted with open insurrection, storming the Bastille prison on July 14. The Parisian middle class, or bourgeoisie, fearful that the lower classes would seize power, hastily established a local provisional government and organized a people's militia, a pattern soon repeated throughout the nation. In October, as the Constituent Assembly proceeded to draft a cons .....

French Revolution 4
.... They made many attempts at taxation, such as a land tax, but each of these were defeated by the nobles -- the Parlements were even destroyed for a brief time, but were later restored by Louis XVI in attempt to gain public support. The government continued to become poorer and poorer and it seemed the only successful taxation was done towards the peasants, whom had the least money. The monarchy eventually fell and caused great unrest leading to the French Revolution.
The French Revolution was caused by t .....

greater burdens. Crops falied, and trade was stagnant.
The people could no longer be taxed, but the government
faced bankruptcy unless new revenues were found. The only
soulution was to tax the privileged classes. But they were
jealoous of their privileged posistion. Altought they were
not completely unwilling to contribute some additional
taxes, they never understood how grave the economis
crisis was. They say the crises as only som .....

French Revolution-death Of Mar
.... “public safety” was in fact at an all time low. Marat was vocal in support of the executions, and this was what ultimately led to his demise. On July 13th 1793 Charlotte Corday, a woman with Girondin sympathies gained entry to Marat’s apartment and murdered him.
Subsequently Jacques-Louis David was “commissioned by the convention ” to paint a portrait of Marat. The function of David’s painting was to ensure that the momentum of the revolution kept moving forward. If Marat was to be a symbol for maint .....

always been to do things gradually. Whereas Russia believed in going
through the necessary changes quickly, so that the hardship would in
turn pass just as quickly. In the implementation of their policies,
we have seen that China's approach has led to a 29% of growth in their
industrial field. But in comparison, Russia only yielded 15% with
their approach. But one must keep in mind that China has more
industrial sectors than does Russia, so their .....

French War
.... feeling of preeminent loss and the pointlessness that the viewer images the soldiers feel. The actual battle takes place rather quickly, but Branagh uses the opportunity to show medieval battle for what it really was. All over the field are small groups of men, beating each other to death with swords too blunt to cut, often resorting to almost wrestling in unbearably uncomfortable and heavy suits of armour. The violence of the scene, although not gory, is shocking, as I'm sure Branagh intended it to be, .....
