THE PICTURE OF DEATH THEY killed Doc Savage on Saturday. It was chilly that afternoon, with a little snow falling, and the snow as hard as salt particles. The wind had a hissing strength; it pounced on pedestrians and shook their overcoats and flapped their hat brims. Soldiers on the streets, and sailors in their winter-issue peajackets, blew steam on their fingers. The man with the red hat and the blue armband with the yellow cross was not used to the cold, or to the bite that winter has in New York, close to the sea. He cursed the weather fluently, with the slightly accented voice of a man who can speak several languages. His red hat and blue-yellow-cross armband, incidentally, was his own idea of a disguise. Dress in a bizarre outfit, he believed, and people wouldn't be able to recognize you when you dressed in ordinary clothes. He crossed Fifth Avenue and went into a restaurant, one of...

...Firstly, the environment. Secondly, lack of settler skills. Lastly, relationships with Native Americans. Firstly , the environment in early Jamestown wasn’t good, because the water in the adjacent river and creeks were contaminated, so the colonists didn’t have a good source to get clean drinking water. The colonists tried to dig shallow wells to supply themselves with drinking water but they were, “vulerable to drought and salt water intrusions.” [Doc. A] colonists would also dump their human waste into the river and instead of the waste flushing away, it just festered which caused disease.[Doc. A] 1606 was the starting point of the longest drought it lasted till 1612, drought was a big reason for their starvation. [Doc. B] In 1607 and 1608 disease killed 77 settlers. [Doc. E]...

...Effects of the Silver Trade With the extensive mining in Japan and the colonization of Central and South America by Spain came a huge industry of silver for the entire world. This industry effected many countries, and even dominated a few socially and economically. At first glance, all seemed good. But in reality, only the middlemen were profiting from the large industry. The suppliers, Japan and Spain, as well as the receiver, China, were hurt in the entire process. The economies of the major players in the silver trade eventually suffered. The Europeans traded a valuable, lasting resource for perishable items, like silk and porcelain (Doc 8). The silver basically flowed out of Spain for these luxury goods (Doc 2). Being a scholar, Tomàs de Mercado saw the effect of the trade on the streets of Spain every day. This gives him a good point of view in the manual about business that he wrote. China was also hurt by the loss of silver that the middleman took as payment. In china, the government forced people to pay taxes in silver, so the government could get more. This hurt the people of china that didn’t have any silver to pay with, but rather only rice and grain (Doc 3). Wang Xijue, a court official in the Ming Empire, was writing this to the emperor of china. he was basically saying that the public needs more silver in order for the economy to fix itself. Ironically enough, the gaining of silver by the government was what led to an even worse economy. The concept of losing...

The first reason Charles Town was hard to settle was because of the land and maps. The reason for this is that the maps were not exact. Also, the land was surrounded by marsh and water which is hard to build a settlement on. The maps were not trustworthy because according to Doc. A the maps that the colonists had were sideways.

...Era of Good Feeling” by historians. Some people believe that this is an accurate label of this time period, but others disagree. Due to the emergence of sectionalism- concern with local interests, and nationalism- patriotic feelings and self pride, people had mixed feelings about this time period. Many people felt that times were high, and that nationalism and sectionalism could only bolster the union, while others thought that it was sectionalism and nationalism that caused disunion. Some of the documents used in this essay support the claim that the period after 1812 was an era of good feelings. Other documents will oppose this claim with proof from their own perspectives. Document B discusses the wonders that the growth of nationalism has done for the Union. John Calhoun writes that before the war, the Republic was in a state of disunion. He then goes on to say that the republic should bind together to conquer space. (Doc B). The celebration of July 4th 1819 after the Republicans had won the Battle of New Orleans (Doc C) shows a great deal of nationalism and self pride. Thomas Jefferson wrote in a letter to John Randolph that he once considered sectionalism to be the death of the union, but it was a reprieve, not a final sentence. He says that a geographical line will never be obliterated, and that every new irritation will mark it deeper and deeper. (Doc F). These documents show how some people felt that this time period was accurately labeled as “The Era of Good Feeling...

...was economic. European nations competed to exploit the rich resources of Africa for financial and commercial gain. Much of European imperialism in Africa came as a result of political causes. There were seven different European countries with colonies in Africa (Doc A). This probably created an intense atmosphere of competition. Each of these countries wanted to "keep up" with their neighbors and did not want to be surpassed in riches or glory ... Many in England believed they had to take colonies "or perish." Germany believed it needed to "prove and maintain its newly won position" by taking more colonies (Doc B). National pride created competition among nations that accelerated European movement into Africa. European imperialism in Africa also resulted from cultural causes. One example of this is that at The Berlin Conference, Europeans stated that the "moral and material well being" of the African peoples would be improved by European imperialism (BGE). Another example of the cultural causes can be seen in Rudyard Kipling's famous poem "The White Man's Burden." By using words like "half devil and half-child" to talk about Africans, Kipling shows his belief that England is culturally superior to Africa (Doc F). If the best people from England try to help stop famine and disease in Africa they will improve Africa. Kipling's poem says that...
