I believe that immeadiate force would be the best way to stop a ruler from the rise to power. Allied countries could assassinate the ruler from his rise to power. The countries could use spies to find out information that the ruler is talking about, to see if he is a threat.
I think that countries should be cautious of the rulers rise to power. They should allow the person to lead for a while but, if he is a tyrant then they need to assassinate him. Cautious, yet forceful, is the way countries should act to the ruler.

I would go meet the ruler of a hostile country if I had some kind of authorities with me, like the marines. I think that it would be a fun trip to take. I might actual enjoy a trip to a foreign country. The talk to the leader would be interesting and great.
I would not go if I did not have permission or a team of authorities with me. If it is a hostile country something bad is bound to happen. Some people might die and, I don't want to be my fault.

March 13, 1865: Slaves as Soldiers
Article posted May 14, 2012 at 08:20 PM GMT •
comment • Reads 75
|
|
I think that using slaves as troops was a wise decision because it increased the fighting force. If they had used the slaves earlier, they might have won the war due to an increased number of soldiers. There could be a possible chance, however, that the slaves rebelled instead of fought against the North.

These guards are beating the inmates senseless. I know these people are traitors but they were just fighting for what they thought was right. They are still people with families. he first thing that I am going to change are the salaries with the guards. Any guard who beats another person, even an inmate, will have their salary cut in half for a full week. Any prisoner who helps clean up could have extended recess. Any prisoner not following orders would get less shower time.

Treason is the offense of acting to overthrow one's government or to harm or kill its sovereign.
I don't think that Jefferson Davis wsa guilty of treason. Anyone else put in his condition would have done the same things.
Saying he was guilty of treason is like saying trying to believe in what you think is right is wrong. If he was guilty of treason then all of the confederates were guilty of treason.

On this day in 1784, Benjamin Franklin wrote a letter to his daughter Sarah. In it, he stated his disagreement with the use of the bald eagle as a symbol of the United States. He wrote, “The turkey is a much more respectable Bird and withal a true original Native of America.” Which bird do you think best represents the United States? Why? (2 paragraphs)
I think that the bald eagle represents America better. Bald eagles represent freedom, which is what America represents.
Sure it's always a good to stick to your roots, but America is more about freedom than where you came from. Plus, turkeys are annually eaten and that is not a very respect worthy quality.

I do not think that the government has the right to make laws that limit people’s freedom. People get angry when things like that happen.
Laws become an intrusion when a person's rights have been stepped over. When an average person brakes the law, then the law needs tobe repealed.

On January 19, 1981, after months of negotiations, President Jimmy Carter arranged for the release of U.S. hostages held by Iran for 444 days. This was the last day of Carter’s presidency, and Iran defiantly held the hostages one more day until the new president, Ronald Reagan, was sworn in. What message do you think Iran was sending to the world by holding the hostages one extra day? (2 paragraphs)
I think Iran wanted to deal with a new president. I don't think that Iran liked President Jimmy Carter very much.
I guess since Iran wasn't familiar with the new president that they wanted to deal with him. They might have thought that he would be easier to deal with.

I think that their should always be pros and cons available. I think people should have the right to know both sides.
I don't get why the tobacco industry got so upset. It is true.
I think that if the Secretary for Health, Education, and Welfare wanted to display that information they had the right to. The tobacco industry had no right to get angry because even if they did they couldn't do anything about it in court.

Martin Luther King Jr. or MJ
Was a man that knew how to keep people from becoming astray
He fought for black rights
And tried to prevent fights
Between black and whites
The man was a visionary
Although it was kind of scary
He was also a preacher
A teacher
And a great overall American feature

How has communication changed since that time?
Transatlantic means across the Alantic Ocean.
9 minutes: $225
15 minutes: $375
Communication is much cheaper today than it was in 1927.

I don't think this is a very good idea. The reason why I don't think this is a very good idea is because people are electing that person for a position that they aren't being hired for.
Another reason I don't think that this is a very good idea is because the vice president would be preparing for president instead of their position. Basically the vice president would be unprepared.

I think freedom of speech is important. I think freedom of speech is important because if freedom of speech didn't exist people would be afraid to challenge things.
Freedom of speech allows newspapers to talk about scandals and such. If people didn't have the freedom of speech, most of the country would not have a clue about what goes on in goverment.

Ellis island is a good place for immigration because it is by the ocean, but inland. It is also closer to Europe than most of the eastern coastline. New York is too the left of Manhattan Island in a body of water.

I think it took the U.S. to abolish slavery because farmers depended on slave labor so heavily. The U.S. only said all men are created equally because they were referring to Britain's stupid taxes.

Dear Wright brothers,
I don't know why you are trying to make planes when there are other modes of transportation. I would not want to fly in plane that could lead to my death and is powerred by running power. Didn't it only fly for like a 30 seconds? I hope you don't go bankrupt oe die trying to fly.
Yours truly,
Ms. Suire

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord;
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword;
His truth is marching on.

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His truth is marching on.

I think President Truman had a right to get angry. It was his daughter. All dads have the right to defend their daughters.
On the other hand I think getting that angry was not necessary. He had the right to get angry, but it is illegal to harm another person.
Considering he was president and that this was going to get out, I don't think he needed to do this.

The despot's heel is on thy shore,
Maryland!
His torch is at thy temple door,
Maryland!
Avenge the patriotic gore
That flecked the streets of Baltimore,
And be the battle queen of yore,
Maryland! My Maryland!
Hark to an exiled son's appeal,
Maryland!
My Mother State! to thee I kneel,
Maryland!
For life or death, for woe or weal,
Thy peerless chivalry reveal,
And gird thy beauteous limbs with steel,
Maryland! My Maryland!
Thou wilt not cower in the dust,
Maryland!
Thy beaming sword shall never rust,
Maryland!
Remember Carroll's sacred trust,
Remember Howard's warlike thrust,-
And all thy slumberers with the just,
Maryland! My Maryland!
Come! 'tis the red dawn of the day,
Maryland!
Come with thy panoplied array,
Maryland!
With Ringgold's spirit for the fray,
With Watson's blood at Monterey,
With fearless Lowe and dashing May,
Maryland! My Maryland!
Come! for thy shield is bright and strong,
Maryland!
Come! for thy dalliance does thee wrong,
Maryland!
Come to thine own anointed throng,
Stalking with Liberty along,
And sing thy dauntless slogan song,
Maryland! My Maryland!
Dear Mother! burst the tyrant's chain,
Maryland!
Virginia should not call in vain,
Maryland!
She meets her sisters on the plain-
Sic semper! 'tis the proud refrain
That baffles minions back amain,
Maryland!
Arise in majesty again,
Maryland! My Maryland!
I see the blush upon thy cheek,
Maryland!
For thou wast ever bravely meek,
Maryland!
But lo! there surges forth a shriek,
From hill to hill, from creek to creek,
Potomac calls to Chesapeake,
Maryland! My Maryland!
Thou wilt not yield the Vandal toll,
Maryland!
Thou wilt not crook to his control,
Maryland!
Better the fire upon thee roll, Better the shot, the blade, the bowl,
Than crucifixion of the Soul,
Maryland! My Maryland!
I hear the distant thunder-hum,
Maryland!
The Old Line bugle, fife, and drum,
Maryland!
She is not dead, nor deaf, nor dumb-
Huzza! She spurns the Northern scum!
She breathes! She burns! She'll come! She'll come!
Maryland! My Maryland!
