...colony of Georgia probably wouldn't be established and be part of the marvelous United States of America. James Oglethorpe was born on December 22, 1696 in Godalming, United kingdom or back then you would prefer England, but unfortunately the first founder of Georgia passed away on June 30, 1785 in Cranham, Upminister, United kingdom. James E. Oglethorpe was a British soldier, although a member of the Parliament as well, but he was the most famous for being the profound founder of the colony of Georgia, and because of him it opened many peoples' eyes in England to discover the unexplored New World. People consider the English philanthropist James Oglethorpe the outstanding hero of Georgia , and I can see how because he had an impact on the world with his breath taking work. Georgia wouldn't be how it is today if James Oglethorpe didn't have the passion to explore and beg the king of England to let him and other colonist set up a colony that later on would be a place that has a major impact on the united states today! James Oglethorpe came to make a trustee colony in 1732 to help prisoners and people in dept to get a fresh start after being locked up in prison with...

...Long before the white settlers came to America the land was inhabited by the Indians. The Cherokee Indian tribe owned a large piece of land in modern day Georgia. Despite this, Americans believe they have a right to this land. As a result, there has been a bitter, repulsive conflict between Indians and Americans ever since the first settlers. The worst result of this conflict was a Cherokee Indian massacre called the Trail of Tears. More than 15,000 Cherokee Indians were forcefully moved out of their home lands to their newly created land in Oklahoma. An estimated 4,000 Cherokee people died during this fatal journey. There were three main factors that played a role in causing the Trail of Tears. First, the Americans wanted to move into the Cherokee’s territory because it was valuable. Second, Indians were considered a people who didn’t deserve the equal rights. Third, the widely held belief of Manifest Destiny influenced Americans to take the land from the Cherokee people....

...What were the risks posed by Georgia and what mechanisms did AES use to mitigate these risks? The financial losses of the electricity sector of Georgia totaled between a quarter of a billion and $400 million. The government believed that a private investor could help mitigate the risks and losses for Georgia. One profound problem that needed attention was the delayed maintenance and repairs that the government lacked the capital to undertake. This, in effect, allowed for only 42% available capacity. Another problem was the egregiously low collection rates, which ranged from 20 to 40 percent because most of the population stole electricity using illegal lines. A third problem Georgia had was the rampant corruption in the energy sector. The rate of theft of domestic funds was very high, which as a result left less money for the industry to utilize. One last risk posed by Georgia was their shortage of fuel and the unwillingness of neighboring countries to supply them with it. AES- Telasi decided to implement a two pronged strategy to negate the risks posed by Georgia. The first component was to invest in plant, equipment, and technology to bring the company up to the standard. The single largest expenditure item was imported fuel which was necessary to generate electricity. The new investments helped AES not only to meet financial commitments but it helped generate revenue, improve electricity supply and most importantly helped create goodwill. The employees loved Scholey and...

...the devastating ten year journey, in which a certain people were forced to endure, at the expense of a separate people’s greed. This was greed that knew no limits, and would stop at nothing to prosper, even if it meant the annihilation of a complete race of people. This was the experience of the Native American tribe, the Cherokee. In the 1830s, the Indian Removal Act was passed, giving President Andrew Jackson the freedom to force the Cherokee to be exiled beyond the state of Mississippi. During that time the Cherokee nation was violently forced from their homes and made to leave behind the only life they had ever known. Stricken by harsh weather, sickness, and surrounded by death and sadness, the Cherokee people made the long march from Georgia to Oklahoma. The Cherokee Indians should not have been forced to leave their land, given the consideration that it was in complete violation of their political, constitutional, and natural rights. A significant way the Cherokee people were violated was politically. In the “Memorial of The Cherokee Nation,” the Cherokees wrote, “We wish to remain on the land of our fathers. We have a perfect and original right to remain without interruption or molestation. The treaties with us, and laws of the United States made in pursuance of treaties, guarantee our residence and our privileges, and secure us against intruders. Our only request is, that these treaties may be fulfilled, and these laws executed…” Time and time again America had made promises...

...Biography of Andrew Jackson Young Jr. Who was Andrew Young Jr.? Most people immediately associate him with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jesse Jackson and the Civil Rights Movement. I chose to write about Andrew Young because of his strong feelings about the rights of black Americans. He felt that everyone, black or white, should have equal rights. Andrew fought along the side of Martin Luther King, Jr. and continued the work after King's death. The Civil Rights Movement required many dedicated and determined souls. Andrew Young, like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a man of peace who believed in using love vice hate to settle disagreements. He accomplished many wonderful things to help Martin Luther King's Dream live on. Andrew Jackson Young Jr. was born March 12, 1932, in New Orleans, Louisiana, during the depths of the Great Depression and Jim Crow segregation. His grandfather had been a successful businessman who had operated a drugstore, a pool hall, and a saloon. His father, Andrew Young Sr. was a dentist and his mother Daisy Fuller Young was a school teacher. The Young’s were among the elite of the city’s black population, which was largely poor and uneducated. Dr. Young Sr. could have afforded to live in a well-to-do white neighborhood, but no one would sell to him.(African American pg 104) .His parents were always very supportive of Andrew and his brother Walter. His parents always taught them the importance of religion and education and to treat others with respect...

...Halloween season is the best reason to give after Christmas (Waters, 2012). In the media, zombie popularity has surged. With The Walking Dead being the most top rated show in the country, there seems to be zombies everywhere. The zombie fad is displayed in books, movies, games, music, and even in the streets-zombie walks. Lately, nonprofit organizations have started using this popular trend to host their fundraising events appealing to different crowds. Especially during autumn and Halloween season, a zombie event is appropriate. A great example of how an organization has tied the zombie theme into their organization is the slogan, “Feed the Hungry”. America’s Second Harvest of Coastal Georgia located in Savannah is a volunteer-driven nonprofit food bank. They serve twenty one counties in Georgia with the mission of feeding hungry people and supporting communities. On November 10, their organization will hold their 5th Zombie Walk on River Street. Donors will dress up themselves, their children, and pets for FREE with a donation of canned goods. There is free makeup, entertainment, games, and vendors ("Savannah zombie walk ," 2011). This is great idea to me because it is a wonderful family/friend idea to do together and gives back a fun opportunity to donors. Another appropriate time for a blood drive is Halloween. No explanation for blood or gore needed. Another idea that has been created is kids ditching the candy and collecting cans alone (Waters, 2012). Halloween is a time...

...Alexita Professor Jamie ENC 1102 August 4, 2013 Alice Walker Section 1 Biography According to Michael Mayer, Alice Walker, one of the best-known and most highly respected writers in the United States, was born in Eatonton, Georgia. She was the eighth and last child of Willie Lee and Minnie Lou Grant Walker. Her parents were sharecroppers, and money was not always available as needed. At the tender age of eight, Walker lost sight of one eye when one of her older brothers shot her with a BB gun by accident. This left her in somewhat a depression, and she secluded herself from the other children. Walker felt like she was no longer a little girl because of the traumatic experience she had undergone, and she was filled with shame because she thought she was unpleasant to look at. During this seclusion from other kids of her age, Walker began to write poems. Hence, her career as a writer began. Walker found the love of her life in 1967, a white activist civil rights lawyer named Mel Leventhal, and they married him in 1967. A year later she gave birth to their daughter, Rebecca. It was not until she began teaching that her writing career really took off. She began teaching at Jackson State, then Tougaloo, and finally at Wellesley College. Walker was involved in the Civil Rights Movement and spoke for the women’s movement, the anti-apartheid movement, for the anti-nuclear movement, and against female genital mutilation. She also started her own publishing company:...

...What were the differences between Presidents Jefferson and Jackson in their perceptions of Native people? Jefferson followed more the principal of assimilation of Native Americans. He saw Native American tribes as sovereign nations that should be recognized by the U.S. His ideal was to assimilate Native Americans into an agriculture based economy wherein they could participate in his agrarian vision of the United States. His idea for obtaining Indian lands was to buy them or to gain them by the process of letting the Indians get indebted to the United States to the degree that they would be forced into giving up land resources to cover that debt. If this plan failed Jefferson was more than willing to use forced removal and extermination as a means for obtaining the land America needed for its growth. In this respect he can be considered the true “Father of Indian Removal” as policy for the United States in dealing with Native Americans (Rockwell, 2010). Jackson was a fierce opponent to treating Native American tribes as sovereign foreign nations; he did not believe that the U.S. should treaty with them. Jackson also held the reputation of being an ‘Indian Hater’; especially in the eyes of Native Americans who gave him the nickname “Indian Killer” or as the Cherokee called him, “Sharp Knife”. This nickname came about during Jackson’s military career during battles with Creek, Cherokee and Seminole tribes. His battle tactics were extremely brutal. Jackson even went so far as...
