...the New Mexico-Texas boundary, and the abolition of the slave trade in the District of Colombia. Southerners gained the burial of the Wilmot Proviso's persistence of new territories being free states, but the position of the free-soilers remained viable, for the compromise left open the question of whether Congress could prohibit slavery in territories outside the Mexican cession. How did the Compromise of 180 affect Southerners? 2) The Fugitive Slave Act affected the relationship between the two sides because often when a slave would leave and escape to the North, northerners wouldn't do anything to help get the slave back, in fact, in most incidents northerners tried to help keep slaves away from southerners if they escaped. South began to realize that opposition to slavery in the North was a threat to what they believed.-What was the Fugitive Slave Act and how did it hurt Southerners? 3) Uncle Tom's Cabin made many people convert to the belief that slavery was wrong and evil. It caused many people to view southerners as evil people. It also made northerners have sympathy for black slaves.-How did this book affect people's view of slavery? 4) The second party system collapsed because Whigs began to split into two groups: the American (know-nothing) Party and the Republican Party. Whigs also began to fall apart because of immigration. They thought immigration would not be important because they wouldn't be a big enough force for...

...means so much more than salary. Employee benefits play a crucial role in the American labor market, and the benefits that an organization offers employees has an immense impact on its hiring ability, turnover rate, and employee satisfaction and productivity. The rise of the tech industry created a flood of new and unique benefits that companies used to attract the best talent to come to work, specifically in an explosively expanding market. As workers nation-wide hear about the exotic and enticing benefits that organizations, like so many of these tech giants offer, some companies are responding and diversifying the benefits they offer to maintain their relevance in an evolving global economy and social climate. When one thinks of unique benefits, they might imagine the free cafes and childcare facilities that companies like Google provide. Had they read about the entire town that Facebook created for its workforce, images of free bus rides, discount employee stores, and company provided housing might come to mind. Even with unique benefits like the ever-expanding offerings of company gyms and cafeterias, West Coast organizations, such as those ever-so talked about tech giants in Silicon Valley, can blanket one’s thoughts on where these unique and special benefits exist, and perhaps originated. Through the evolution of a social climate, a recovering economy with more job vacancies, and a mass exodus of a working generation, unique benefits will become more and more prevalent in...

...State Banks and the National Banking Acts: A Tale of Creative Destruction By Matthew Jaremski† Vanderbilt University Job Market Paper November 2010 Abstract: The National Banking Acts and their supporting legislation led to 303 state bank closures and 879 charter conversions between 1863 and 1869. This paper analyzes the sudden reorganization using the period’s first complete bank-level census. The data suggest that the national capital requirements prevented many existing banks from converting to a national charter, whereas a tax on state bank notes was responsible for the large number of closures. Moreover, the requirements prevented new national banks from replacing closed state banks. The legislation thus redistributed capital to developed cities along the “Manufacturing Belt”, potentially fueling the growth of factories and the populist movement after the Civil War.

On the other, they must allow bank expansion to facilitate future economic growth. Attempting to reform the free banking system, the National Banking Acts of 1863 and 1864 has been criticized...

Scovel III Inspector General The Secretary Acting Federal Aviation Administrator Assistant Secretary for Aviation and International Affairs Date: September 24, 2012 From: To: Since its inception, the aviation industry has undergone significant transformations as a result of technological developments, economic pressures, and other factors. Most recently, economic recession and recurrent high fuel costs have challenged U.S. airlines, which have taken a number of actions to lower costs and increase revenue—including capacity reductions, fare increases, baggage fees, and mergers. Beginning in 2002, the Office of Inspector General has issued periodic reports regarding the performance of the aviation industry. This report, the 11th in the series, focuses primarily on industry performance during the 2008–2011 period and summarizes long-term trends since 2000.

...In Cold Blood Truman Capote I. The Last to See Them Alive The village of Holcomb stands on the high wheat plains of western Kansas, a lonesome area that other Kansans call "out there." Some seventy miles east of the Colorado border, the countryside, with its hard blue skies and desert-clear air, has an atmosphere that is rather more Far West than Middle West. The local accent is barbed with a prairie twang, a ranch-hand nasalness, and the men, many of them, wear narrow frontier trousers, Stetsons, and high-heeled boots with pointed toes. The land is flat, and the views are awesomely extensive; horses, herds of cattle, a white cluster of grain elevators rising as gracefully as Greek temples are visible long before a traveler reaches them. Holcomb, too, can be seen from great distances. Not that there's much to see simply an aimless congregation of buildings divided in the center by the main-line tracks of the Santa Fe Rail-road, a haphazard hamlet bounded on the south by a brown stretch of the Arkansas (pronounced "Ar-kan-sas") River, on the north by a highway, Route 50, and on the east and west by prairie lands and wheat fields. After rain, or when snowfalls thaw, the streets, unnamed, unshaded, unpaved, turn from the thickest dust into the direst mud. At one end of the town stands a stark old stucco structure, the roof of which supports an electric sign - dance - but the dancing has ceased and the advertisement has been dark for several years. Nearby is another building...
