.... him while he was leader by doing small jobs. Caesar gained much experience while helping out Marius. When Caesar was 25 he set sail for the island of Rhodes. But, on the way a band of pirates captured the ship and kidnapped him. While his family was raising ransom money he was a very difficult guest for the pirates. He strolled boldly around their ship and pointed out weaknesses in their sword fighting technique and told them he would kill them all after he was released. They were entertained by this young man but did not believe the threat (Green 19). His family fina .....

.... to take control of Vicksburg was an expedition commanded by General W. T. Sherman who went down to Mississippi and attacked Confederacy positions immediately north of town, while another army under General Ulysess S. Grant marched overland from the northern part of Mississippi. General Sherman's army failed when his attack on Chickasaw Bluffs was easily defeated , and General Grant was forced to retreat when his supply lines were cut by the confederate calvary. There were also naval expeditions commanded by Admiral David Glasgow Farragut. The Union army appeared below the cit .....

.... A provincial responsibility Unlike many other industrialized countries, Canada has no federal educational system: the Constitution vested the exclusive responsibility for education in the provinces. Each provincial system, while similar to the others, reflects its particular region, history, and culture. The provincial departments of education--headed by an elected minister--set standards, draw up curriculums, and give grants to educational institutions. Responsibility for the administration of elementary and secondary schools is delegated to local elected school boards .....

.... I had the subject down, but I learned that I knew as much as or less than the average person about WWII. First off, I was not aware that the war actually started in Europe, I thought that the start of the war started when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. I did not know that the Japanese also bombed placed such as the Philippines, Thailand, and Malaya. I was not aware of all the islands taken over by Japan. The Japanese took over the Philippines and many other small islands to expand their territory, and to push the Japanese back the US had to literally jump from islan .....

.... he was more of a coward, more concerned with his well being and safety than the safety of his people and kingdom so he quickly surrendered under pressure. The Spanish used surrounding enemy tribes to take over the Aztec lands, then began to massacre men, women and children. When the Aztec became angry and started to fight back, they were quickly wrecked by the diseases the Spanish brought with them such as small pox and measles. The Spanish were immune to these diseases because they were well known in Europe and they had been exposed to them for years, but the Aztecs weren .....

.... people, "to secure these rights...whenever any form of government becomes destructive...it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it." It gives the people of America the freedom to impeach untrustworthy rulers and dictators if they wish to. The freedom that Thomas Jefferson gave us is still in practice today. The middle section justified why the colonists were revolting against the Britis h Empire. Here Jefferson writes that the King of Great Britain "is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations." He reminds the reader that the King has refused to allow the Gove .....

.... Lindros, Paul Karya, Donald Brashear… have been bothered by those injury’s. What really got the attention this year was the violent acts. A month ago, Marty Mcsorley of the Boston Bruins shocked the world by hitting another player in the face with his stick leaving him unconscious on the ice. For that, the foolish defenseman was suspended for the rest of the season and purchased by the state police. If violence continues to dominate this beautiful sport, other precautions will be taken. Second of all, I will proceed with soccer violence. In European soccer, it’s simple, the sup .....

.... life which, at first appearing to be negative, greatly aided him in becoming the second greatest Union general. Sherman was born into a large family in Lancaster, Ohio on February 8, 1820 (McPhersonxxx 731). His family had had a long history of political positions, although Sherman was always strong in his dislike for the such. 1829 proved to be an impacting year in his life, when his father died leaving his mother responsible for their ten children (Sherman 1). Sherman was taken in as an adoptive child by Mr. Thomas Ewing, a family friend (Sherman 1). This man proved to .....
