...Britain and win. In the Civil War, that concept was brought back into play, as foreign countries supported both sides of the war through moral, financial, and manufacturing support. Although many Americans today believe that the Civil War was an internal conflict, in reality, foreign nations played a significant role throughout the entirety of the war. Though many people may think that the American Civil War was only between the North and the South, while in reality, it was an international event. The country that was the most influential throughout the course of the war was Great Britain. Although this country was officially considered neutral, the citizens of this nation found many different ways to aid the war. The British provided assistance to both sides of the war, but they mainly aided the Confederacy. Britain “did provide significant assistance in other ways, chiefly...

...America in the early 1800s, specifically 1800 to 1850, was beginning to move towards an industrialized society, with the factory system in the North, the cotton gin in the South, and more people moving out West. People came from all over to come to the US to find a new life, and because of this the US became a diverse country. Yet with all these improvements, the US didn't improve for everyone. Slavery was still practiced in a horrible amount in the South, especially because cotton was money, women had little say in anything, the US government was forcing Native Americans from their land to make room for new white settlers, immigrants into the country faced prejudice, and so many other groups lacked the rights that America is known...

...Brooke Bragenzer Period 2 New Zealand Colonization The history of New Zealand dates back at least 700 years to when it was discovered and settled by Polynesians, who developed a distinct Māori culture centered on kinship links and land. The first European explorer to sight New Zealand was Abel Janszoon Tasman on 13 December 1642. Captain James Cook, who reached New Zealand in October 1769 on the first of his three voyages, was the first European explorer to circumnavigate and map New Zealand Polynesian Settlement Aotearoa (the Maori name for New Zealand, which translates as 'Land of the Long White Cloud') was first settled by Maori between 950 and 1130 AD. Highly sophisticated ocean navigators, Maori journeyed south through the Pacific from their original homeland, Hawaiiki (believed to be near Tahiti), to their new home of Aotearoa. Aotearoa possessed a more temperate climate than their original Pacific Island home, with no indigenous mammals (aside from the native bat) to hunt for food. Bird and marine life was plentiful however, and Maori also began to cultivate kumara, taro and yam. Isolated from other Polynesian peoples by thousands of miles of ocean, Maori developed a unique and vibrant culture of their own, reflecting their natural environment and affinity with the land. Maori, the tangata whenua (people of the land) were the only inhabitants of New Zealand for over 600 years, until the arrival of European explorers in the mid 1600s. European Exploration ...

They feel bound to state that the presence of such a large number of their class in the midst of our great centres of population must necessarily have a most destructive effect upon that portion of the rising generation with which they most frequently come in contact.

In many cases [Lambing Flat area] they were confined to certain areas by the local police and so contact with other miners was limited. There were very few Chinese women in these camps. There were 8 female among 24 000 males in Victoria in 1861. They built their own temples [joss houses] and stores and organised their own entertainment. They were described as being ‘strong, industrious, patient, they work slowly perhaps but methodically, never stopping and never worrying...

The majority of Whigs were yeomen whites who did not support the power of democrats who were mainly planters (313). These planters were driven by the sole purpose to acquire property and combine man labor with the world’s resources, they did this through slavery.

Also the African Americans’ buying behavior like the selling strategy makes it success to African American, and what is the reason. At the end going to talk about cross-cultural business, how to do business in the African American community. Known African American’s culture and background history is always helps to be success to avoid the mistakes which you shouldn’t do. Directly relating African American History and African American Business leaders, Pharrell Williams would be the perfect example of how the Black history influences the ways of business in the African American community. A lot of people might argue that he is not business man but he is the biggest entertainment business leader. “Every one of us is an amalgamation not only of all our ancestors, but of their decisions, and in 1831, Ambrose Hawkins was contemplating moving his family from America to Africa. Had he done so, his son Joseph would have been raised in Liberia instead of North Carolina and never would have become Pharrell Williams’s third great-grandfather. As it happens, Ambrose did go to Liberia, but opted for a solo round trip, rather than a family migration. If not for this last minute change of plans, the gene...

...On July 26, 1862, Grant telegraphed an officer at Columbus, Kentucky, saying that officers should check all merchants’ luggage if they are travelling southward and turn them back if they are carrying gold. He stated in that telegraph: “Jews should receive special attention.” A few months later, on November 9, 1862, Ulysses S. Grant telegraphed Memphis the following: “Refuse all permits to come south of Jackson for the present. The Israelites especially should be kept out.” The next day, General Grant told his superintendent of military railroads to forbid all Jews from travelling southward, calling them an “intolerable nuisance” and saying that “the Department [of Tennessee] must be purged of them.” Ulysses S. Grant’s growing intolerance of Jews soon erupted in the most blatant form of anti-Semitism in United States history. Ulysses S.

The female factory worker compared her conditions with those of slaves because she felt like they were being treated like slaves by not being allowed to speak for themselves. She felt that they were awed into silence by wealth and power and was under tyranny and cruel oppression 2. She doubt the sincerity of the Christian beliefs of the factory owners because they talk benevolence in the parlor, compel their help to labor for a mean and paltry pittance in the kitchen.

...THE RIGHTS OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS IN KENYA: LESSONS FROM THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. GODWIN KIPKIRUI LANGAT LAW/M/0985/09/12 ABSTRACT Many perspectives have been offered in the academic literature to explain the phenomenon of illegal immigration across the world. Unfortunately, most studies fail to adequately account for the rights of immigrants and how they are being violated. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT CHAPTER ONE 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of Study The purpose of this research is to show all the rights of illegal immigrants and the extent to which they are violated and/or respected in Kenya’s legal system by use of vital lessons from the American legal system. Respecting their rights is important because it shows that we are respecting the rule of law. It is important to note that all people are equal and therefore they should be treated equally without discrimination. People should also be allowed the freedom of movement and also that it should be ensured that the same freedom of movement should be regulated so that it ensures that one single country or state do not suffer the outcomes of immigration. Migration is a fact of life whereby people move to new countries to improve themselves economically and maybe to pursue their educations. Others leave to escape armed conflicts or other violations of human rights. Several statutory laws in Kenya provide means by which certain aliens/illegal immigrants can become naturalized citizens. Immigration law determines who...

The Norse explorer Leif Eriksson reaches the shores of Canada at Nova Scotia in the year 1000, but the country actually begun 1497 with the introduction of the white man, John Cabot Italian at the service of King Henry VII of England reaches Nova Scotia. Canada was lost to the English in the year 1534 by Jacques Cartier which was the settlement of New France 1604, but was then was Nova Scotia in 1608. Quebec was founded, France’s colonization were not successful and ended at the end of 17th century. They penetrated beyond the Great Lakes to the western prairies and south along the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico. The English Hudson’s Bay Company in 1670 establishes themselves because of the abundance of fisheries and fur trade, a conflict that England and France had between each other for the control of the region in 1713. Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, and Hudson Bay were lost to England. During the seven year war (1756-1763), England extended territory and the British General James Wolfe won the famous victory over his French counterpart General Louis Montcalm outside Quebec in 1759, the...

...people, including Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Madagascar. Also spoken by the inhabitants of the Pacific islands (Micro-, Mela-, and Polynesia) and the aborigines in Taiwan, Vietnam and Campuchea, New Guinea, the Mergui Archipelago in Burma, Hainan Island, and South China, it is said to have come from one family, the Proto-Austonesian language, because of the similarities in vocabulary. Studies suggest that speakers used words that related to rice cultivation and boat-making, this prompting them to suggest that the people who spoke this language had a culture in which ancestral homelands, horticulture, animal domestication and boat making were known. This is further supported by botanical studies that reveal that in areas populated by Austronesians, domesticated plants such as yam, taro, sugar cane, banana, breadfruit, and coconut were commonly used by the people. Further proof that the languages spoken by the above mentioned countries are one and the same can be found in the genetic evidences that link each of the countries to the autronesian origin. 2.
