.... The Free States felt they were undermined. The Fugitive Slave Law fueled the anti-slavery feelings in the North. It was probably one of the most important causes that bought on war. The law said that if slaves escape from the North, northerners are responsible for assisting in his capture and return. This brought many questions to people’s minds. Do slaves not have freedom in a "free state" where slavery is outlawed? Now the northerners were more connected with slavery -- it was much closer to home for them. Many factors caused tension in the South as well. One of these is Harriet .....

.... offered to assume the executive responsibility. He entered the cabinet with the thought of becoming the power behind the 2 Presidential chair and openly opposed Lincoln's control of the Union. This made Lincoln's position as Chief of State exceedingly difficult and hindered his communication and control of the military. As time passed, however, Seward recognized Lincoln's capabilities and gave him complete loyalty (Simmons 174). This could not be said of Salmon P. Chase, Lincoln's first secretary of the treasury. Blinded by an inflated ego, Chase pursued his own presidential aspirations. He w .....

.... were sorely divided which hit them hard during the elections as low support showed. The problem the left had was the dominant position that the communist party (PCF) had always held, this made it difficult to create a large socialist government. It was in the 1970’s that the PS started to make concerted efforts to end this period of dominance. The PS proceeded to ally with the communists rather than fight against them, The agreement they came to was called the Common Program and came into place in 1972. This move was a deliberate one by the PS and it resulted in growth and consolida .....

.... attend an all black school 20 blocks from her home, even though there was an all white school only a few blocks away. With help from the NAACP, Linda's father, Oliver Brown, sued the Topeka Board of Education so that his daughter could attend the nearby all whtie school. NAACP lawyer Thurgood Marshall challenged the Plessy vs. Ferguson ruling and argued that even if seperate black schools were equal to white schools, black children were still suffering great psychological damage. On May 17,1954, Chief Justice EArl Warren announced that it was the unanimous decision of the Court that "sepera .....

.... and the forming of economic alliances in reaction. At the end of World War II, the Soviet Union began transforming the newly freed countries and engulfed them one by one until all of Eastern Europe was part of the Soviet Union. The United States became alarmed with the growing of communism in Europe and set up the Marshall Plan in order to counteract the spread of communism. The Marshall Plan was an economic support program funded by the United States. They gave relief money to the war torn democratic countries in order to rebuild their economy. They did not give money to the Soviet Union .....

.... Waldo Emerson, keeping house and doing chores in exchange for rent and board. In 1843, he journeyed to the home of Emerson’s brother William to tutor. Soon after the death of John in 1842, Thoreau went to live at Walden Pond, partially as a tribute to his beloved brother. When he returned from Walden in September of 1847, he again performed an assortment of jobs. He hired himself out as a painter, carpenter, mason, or a day-laborer believing "the occupation of a day-laborer to be the most independent of any," he also became interested in surveying land and went o .....

.... of Texas from Mexico. The strongest evidence of U.S. expansion goals is with the Mexican-American War. From the beginning, the war was conceived as an opportunity for land expansion.

Now they wanted to expand their land holdings north. The first expedition into the region, that is today the United States Southwest, was with Corando. Corando reported a region rich in resources, soon after people st .....

.... Somewhat ironic, to prevent death we must send our brave men in to die. The conflict has been hard on the world, but more so on Kosovo itself. It is predicted that if the war doesn’t stop the two-sides will be fighting over nothing other than pride. The world’s involvement into the conflict seems to have fueled the anger of both sides. There are hundreds of people suck in the middle. Regular farmers have become heroes. Women starting orphanages for children who have been abandoned or lost their parents. One story is of a man that digs through the destroyed rubble searching for anyt .....

.... on these ideas. The Renaissance did not reflect the Middle Ages at all in the art category. Paintings in the Middle Ages focused on religion. People were painted flat, rigid, and all different sizes according to levels of importance. The paintings were symbolic from corner to corner. Artists of the Middle Ages almost never signed their names, because that was not what was important. In the Renaissance, every painting and sculpture was signed. The Art from the Renaissance was not at all extended from the Middle Ages. Woman in Renaissance society had total different objectives tha .....

.... was the opinion of the contemporaries about the causes of the Great War. In the reprint of the article "What Started the War", from August 17, 1915 issue of The Clock magazine published on the Internet the author writes: "It is thought that this war that is been ongoing for over a year, began with the assassination of the Archduke Francis Ferdinand. However, many other reasons led to this war, some occurring as far back the late 1800's. Nationalism, militarism, imperialism, and the system of alliances were four main factors that pressed the great powers towards this explosive war." Accor .....
