.... and their men like Kerber states. It was a time for women to step up and take charge of their families while their men were away; this meant assuming all duties of the family not just those patterned around the household. Kerber’s condensed statement is a general evaluation of how women were influenced during the revolution overall. And unknowingly it is practically an immediate parallel to Mary Fish’s life at that time as well. Mary’s capability to defeat a long span of severe depression due to being overwhelmed by a series of losses, such as the loss of her first child Rebecca, .....

.... were much different than that of England. The Separatists did not rebel against but rather preferred the English culture. They did not want their children to be raised Dutch. Also, they felt that Holland was too liberal. Although they enjoyed the freedom of religion, they decided to leave for America. Pilgrims, or sojourners, left for America on The Mayflower and landed in Cape Cod in 1626. They had missed their destination, Jamestown. Although the climate was extremely rocky, they did not want to move south because of their Puritan beliefs. They thought that everything was predestined, and t .....

.... a time when sex was safe and far fewer kids "just said no" should take a look just for the sake of historical accuracy. It is directed by Richard Linklater and stars a cast of complete unknowns. This 1993 sleeper leads us through a day in the life of a loosely-aligned group of seniors and freshmen at a high school in suburban Texas. What happens? It's 1976, school's out for the summer, and kids in pickup trucks and convertibles are cruising the neon-lit streets, swigging beer, philosophizing, looking for a place to party. They pull up at a roadhouse, pig out on shakes and fries, flirt, .....

.... to Hamilton that enclosed a challenge to battle a duel. He included with the dispatch, a replica of the article enclosing the annotations. Burr demanded “a prompt and unqualified acknowledgment or denial” of the “despicable opinion” credited to Hamilton. The code for gentlemen at the time demanded that Hamilton respond to Burr if he wanted people to acknowledge his remarks. If Hamilton wanted to break away from conflict, he would have to openly testify that Burr was a gentleman, and no rogue. In an attempt to escape the duel, Hamilton declared that he had never set eyes on the piec .....

.... Luther King Jr's speeches was not of hatred or resentment, just love for all mankind no matter what color or creed they may be. Martin Luther King Jr. came across as a kind human being, not a person full of anger and violence. In speaking to one another we should have the same tone in speaking as Martin Luther King Jr. in order to be heard. We should watch that we do not offend someone when speaking. We sometimes do not realize our tones of our spoken word can hurt someone's feelings. But this does not happen all the time. A person can take the information as being helpfull and a .....

.... pillowcases on their heads. They also draped the linens over their horses. The Ku Klux Klan was going to ride for the first time. In the beginning, the men wanted to do nothing more than play pranks on people. However, the people were more frightened than they were cheered up. They soon realized what they could do with these fear tactics. The South had turned into a place that was no longer theirs. The slaves were now free (many of these men were slave owners) and carpetbaggers were coming from the North to take advantage of the southern people. They saw the opportunity to set back the So .....

.... to a height of forty feet or more, but found that thirty-two feet was the limit to which it would rise in the suction pump. Strange enough, Galileo, who knew all about the weight of the air, had recourse to the old theory that "nature abhors a vacuum", modifying the law by stating that the "horror" extended only to about thirty-two feet. Torricelli at once conceived the correct explanation. He tried the experiment with quicksilver, a liquid fourteen times as heavy as water, expecting that the column would counterbalance the air to be proportionally smaller. He filled a tube three feet l .....

.... I will briefly discuss the history and location of the Gandharan region. I will focus on the Gandharan Bodhisattva (2nd/3rd century, made of schist) displayed in the Art Institute. Next, the paper will discuss the Gupta Dynasty, this is period in which the culture of the period was more concerned with aesthetic values of sculpture, which I will illustrate through my discussion of the Preaching Buddha of Sarnath (c. 475 ad, Buff Sandstone). As a result, the art from the Gandharan region will show how regional location and influences affected this period’s sculpture, and the art f .....

.... to slander Christianity; (4) Missionaries are given the right to live in Taiwan and propagate Christianity; (5) Complications between the natives and foreigners should be jointly judged by Ch'ing authorities and the British Council. In 1871 an incident occurred where sixty-six Miyakojima residents of Ryukyu drifted into southern Taiwan, where fifty-four were killed by aborigines. This became known as the "Botan Incident", which Japan quickly used to try and win recognition of its territorial right to Ryukyu. The following year the Japanese government set up a consulate in Fuchow an .....

.... The buffalo hunt was created so, since the Great Plains lacked much food, the Cheyenne could get enough food to survive. Before they arrived at the plains, the buffalo hunt was unneccesary because of the bountiness of food. The Inuit people (known incorrectly as eskimos) were, of course, affected by their geography. Their language consisted of over 50 words for ice. They had to live in igloos, because of the lack of building resources. Shamans were popular and had a lot of power because, since food was so scarce, they were believed to have powers that could help find it. Pacific N .....
