.... her poorly. In most New England colonies, a woman could sue her husband for a divorce if her treated her without respect and abused or neglected her. Although women had the legal privilege to divorce a bad husband, she did not have any legal rights under the law. As soon as she married her husband, she lost all legal existence. For a woman to have any place in the legal system it was better to remain single. Single women, or Feme Sole had more legal rights than a married woman. She could own property, retain control of her earnings, and sign contracts. Feme Sole was a bette .....

.... on the bow and stern sides. Due to its massive nature the ship's draft was enormous, it stretched twenty-two feet to the bottom. The ship was so slow and long, that it required a turning radius of about one mile. Likened to a "floating barn roof (DesJardien 2)" and not predicted to float, the only individual willing to take command of the ship was Captain Franklin Buchanan. After all the modifications were complete, the ship was rechristened the CSS Virginia, but the original name the CSS Merrimack is the preferred name. The USS Monitor was the creation of Swedish-American e .....

.... state must ALL agree to pass a law or tax, making it impossible for anything to be passed if one state had any complain over them and the other states all agreed on it. It is evident in Document B that after the Articles of Confederation had been passed, from 1784 and beyond; the gross income from exports to Great Britain had plummeted while the population of the United States continued to rise. By the late 1780’s, the states had fallen behind nearly 80 percent in providing the funds that Congress requested to operate the government and honor the national debt. The statistic .....

.... by the configuration of its practices and characteristics. One instance that I read about in the news recently was about a young girl in England who became pregnant. The girl went to her church and told her priest. The priest then referred the girl to the Cardinal of that area. The twelve-year-old girl comes from a family that can barely afford food and clothes, let alone support a new child. Abortion was obviously not even an issue in this case. The clergy decided it would be best to use church money and support this girl in her pregnancy. This shows openness on the part of .....

.... Was any authority opposed to the idea? Should we have bombed military bases instead of cities? These and many other questions arise. Before these are analyzed, a brief background on the bombs and the tests are in order (O’Neal 47). When a man from the Soviet Union successfully split an atom, the question of a bomb immediately arose. Einstein wrote a letter to President Truman stating that if a bomb was possible then the country to own it would have complete power. In light of this information, Truman formed an Interim Committee to research the topic and find out if .....

.... history. The Celtic people were also highly independent. This characteristic became known as Celtic nature due to the fact that they were required to make the most of becoming a nomadic tribe at times. Due to the popularity of war and bloodshed the Celts had to become used to losing and winning, not only battles but members of the community also. Individual Celts became more individually independent and self-reliant do to the fact that loss was experienced so frequently. Examples of very independent people are the Germans. This is because of the loss they have suffere .....

.... The advantage of this model was that it could travel a greater distance with a single turn of the pedals. But because it the wheels were so tall, the bicycle was unstable and many people wouldn’t try it. In 1885, J. K. Starley, an English bicycle manufacturer, producted the first commercially successful bicycle. It was much lower than the penny-Farthing with two wheels of the equal size, making the bicycle much more stable. It was the first bicycle that incorporated the design and parts of today’s bike. Later, the iron tires were replaced with solid rubber tires .....

.... and Nordic Aryans particularly, because they are the most obvious and therefore the most well known. Well first, you would have to accept that there is a difference in skin color between a Black man and a White man, and this difference is caused by different melanin levels. What causes this difference? Why, it\'s evolution, that gradual process of genetic change due to the environment a particular species habitates. Negroes lived in very hot, sun-drenched parts of Africa, and they needed protection from the sun. So they evolved darker skin so they wouldn\'t get sunburned a .....
