American Indian Movement Bureau Of Indian Affairs
1,622 wordsOne of the modern Native Americans' most prominent leaders, Leonard Peltier, was arrested in the summer of 1975 and eventually sentenced to two life terms for a crime many believe he did not commit. The conviction and imprisonment of Leonard Peltier is an injustice. His prosecution by the United States government represents yet another attempt to snuff out American Indian culture and leaders.

Hear What Happened Flander Fields Mccrae
1,479 wordsJust north of the Danube River, west of Chartres, the earth is scarred with the trenches of the most vile and destructive conflict anyone has ever witnessed, or experienced. The earth, viewed from the heavens, has been disfigured to resemble the surface of the moon, with craters from the persistent onslaught of the German artillery. The shell smoke eclipses the sky and the only light is the man-made stars that light the horizon from the rifles and not the night sky as they have always been for t...

Sir Francis Drake Mary Queen Of Scots
4,154 wordsThe Battle of the Spanish Armada The great naval battle between Spain and England in 1588 - one of the most important battles in the history of the world- is known as the Battle of the Invincible Armada.

How was it possible that this armada, which had awed all of Europe with...
