King's "A Letter From Birmingham City Jail": An Analysis
Number of words: 1913 - Number of pages: 7.... nothing
general.
In his first paragraph, King establishes why he is in Birmingham,
however, he is not clear, as he states, ". . . [he], along with several
members of [his] staff, [are] [there] because [he] was invited [there].
[He] is here because [he] has organizational ties [there].". In other words,
he was there because what he does brought him here, kind of like a job.
In the second paragraph, he becomes crystal clear, by stating that
he is " . . . in Birmingham because injustice is [there].". Not only does
he present why he is there, but he justifies it by alluding to biblical
chara .....

African-American Troops In The Civil War: The 54th Massachusetts
Number of words: 1651 - Number of pages: 7.... assault on the Confederate positions at Battery
Wagner. In this desperate attack, the Fifty-fourth was placed in the vanguard
and over 250 men of the regiment became casualties. Shaw, the regiment's young
colonel, died on the crest of the enemy parapet, shouting, "Forward, Fifty-
fourth!"
That heroic charge, coupled with Shaw's death, made the regiment a
household name throughout the north, and helped spur black recruiting. For the
remainder of 1863 the unit participated in siege operations around Charleston,
before boarding transports for Florida early in February 1864. The regiment

Germany 2
Number of words: 462 - Number of pages: 2.... steel mills, were the leaders during the machine age, had the most powerful engineering industry, the best chemists, and the mighty German Army, superior to any other army, that Germany should share in world affairs by expanding abroad, and become more imperialistic. He felt economic power should be reflected in political power. He ordered the build up of the Navy, which poisoned his relations with England.
The Kaiser had deep affection for things English and was even
made a British Admiral of the Fleet in 1889 (his grandmother was Queen
Victoria). However his determination to stre .....

The Turks And Mongols
Number of words: 4512 - Number of pages: 17.... To the northwest of the vast Iranian domain, in Mongolia, a number of semi-agricultural, semi-pastoral tribes, possessing the sheep, probably also cattle, and perhaps wagons, but apparently not the horse, came in early times to the attention of the Chinese historians. By 800 B.C. we hear of a people called the Hiung-Nu, who gradually grew in importance until they came to dominate all of Mongolia.8 At a fairly late date, set by McGovern between 541 and 300 B.C., the Hiung-Nu presumably obtained horses, and learned to ride them. They seem to have acquired these animals from the Iranians or .....

The Spanish Debate On The Amer
Number of words: 965 - Number of pages: 4.... proposition that St. Peter and his
successors(that being missionaries located in the New World) had
the duty by the injunctions of God to teach the gospel and faith
of Jesus Christ to all men throughout the world. What is
interesting is that Las Casas thought that it was "unlikely that
anyone [would] resist the preaching of the gospel and the
Christian doctrine..." While being a bishop and a Dominican
missionary in the New World, he had the task of spreading the
holy faith, expanding the area covered by the teachings of the
universal Church(that being the Christian religion), and the
imp .....

Red River
Number of words: 991 - Number of pages: 4.... Indians, who ambushed the wagon train, they had left earlier in the day. Dunson and Rupp had seen the smoke from the attack that killed the girl as they were riding away. It seems to me that Indians in this film are portrayed as dangerous enemies who are very sneaky. Also in this part of the movie Dunson and Rupp somehow knew how to answer Indian calls, even though they were two white guys from Missouri. It also intrigued me that the two of them shot every Indian that came out of the bushes the very first time. Good shootn'!
The day after the Indian attack they crossed the and headed .....

The French Revolution
Number of words: 2247 - Number of pages: 9.... XIV angered the people and they wanted a new system of government. The writings of the philosophes such as Voltaire and Diderot, were critical of the government. They said that not one official in power was corrupt, but that the whole system of government needed some change. Eventually, when the royal finances were expended in the 1780's, there began a time of greater criticism. This sparked the peasants notion of wanting change. Under the Old Regime in France, the king was the absolute monarch. Louis XIV had centralized power in the royal bureaucracy, the government departments which admi .....

Kosovo 2
Number of words: 740 - Number of pages: 3.... of six nominally equal republics- Croatia, Montenegro, Serbia, Slovenia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and Macedonian, In Serbia the two provinces of Kosovo and Vojvodina were given autonomous status.
By 1992 the Yugoslavian Federation was falling apart. Nationalism had once
again replaced communism as the dominant force in the Balkans. Slovenia and then Croatia were the first to break away, but only at the cost of renewed conflict with Serbia. The war in Croatia led to hundreds of thousands of refugees in the 1940's. By 1992, a further conflict had broken out in Bosnia, which had also declared .....

Apache And Cherokee Indians
Number of words: 621 - Number of pages: 3.... of war. Government sponsored assimilation saw English forced upon the Apache robbing them of their culture. In 1934 The Indian Recognition Act helped establish the Indian culture as a recognized way of life. This act gave the Apache land, which the Apache in turn used for ranching. The destruction of the Apache culture was not recoverable and saw the Apache lose much of their language.
The documentary on the Apache was very well done. The Indians of North America series, produced by Chelsea House, seems to be a very well thought-out series and the film on the Apache was no exception .....

This was in the period when the Air Force had spent much of the 1950s training and equipping itself for a nuclear conflict.
