issue of slavery. Thomas Jefferson, the great

War I only prolonged the inevitable and came at a
price to the U. S. The American public didnt want
to be involved in World War I, and Wilson and the
democrats knew it, although neutrality was a
difficult stand to ...

Industrial Goods White People

The extent to which the debate over slavery was
not really about black people but about whites can
be seen politically, socially, religiously and
economically. Slavery affecting politics is
demonstrated politically in the Lincoln-Douglas
debates. The real arguments were over which side,
the north or the south, would gain more power from
slavery by making it either a slave state or a

be free, which ...

Marijuana, the crude drug made from the leaves and
flowering tops of the cannabis sativa plant,
contains hundreds of active chemicals. Of the 421
chemicals identified in the plant, 70 are

Interpreting Edith Wharton's "Roman Fever"
Definitive criteria for judging the success or
failure of a work of fiction are not easily agreed
upon; individuals almost necessarily introduce
bias into any such attempt. Only those who affect
an exorbitantly refined artistic taste, however,
would deny the importance of poignancy in literary
pieces. To be sure, writings of dubious and
fleeting merit frequently enchant the public, but
there is too the occasional author who garners
widespread acclaim an...

Wanted To Marry Man And A Woman

Marriage is a bond of love between a man and a
woman. Traditional marriage today is not the same
as 100 years ago due to the fact that life spans
have changed and women are not economically
dependent on their husbands. However, traditional
marriage in today's society is incapable of
binding a couple in a lifetime of love and
equality. This will be proved by the change in the
economic value, divorce, and love. The economic
value between men and women has changed
drastically. Over the years female...

Independent Variable Dependent Variable Control
