The Native Americans had to be relocated to different land, so these Indians were forced to march the “Trail of Tears” in which approximately 4000 Indians were subject to fate’s hands and died, or were murdered due to being non-cooperative. Since Andrew Jackson decided to commit these immoral acts he gave himself a very bad reputation when it came to the indians and in doing this he allowed history to judge him and it’s not in a positive manner. Andrew Jackson made good and bad contributions, but in the eyes of many people including me the bad decisions or immorale ones outweigh the positive impacts he had as a president. It's very debatable whether Andrew Jackson was a good or bad president because of his public speaking and how the people loved him, since of his background and his ability to connect with the people of the United States, and all the bad he did to the Indians without even consideration of
PROBLEM STATEMENT Exploring the traumatic effects of Group Areas Act of 1950 on the coloured population of District Six and surrounding suburbs Roy H Du Pre underscores the anguish that played out as the authorities purposely dislocated them from their homes and dispersed them to unfamiliar locations. In his analysis he evokes the absolute desperation that some people displayed as the relocations advanced at a steady pace: As the axe dangled over their heads, the coloured people became obsessed about the impending removals. For many people the eviction notice was a death notice. Many died of a broken heart long before the bulldozers and trucks arrived (Du Pre: 83).
My dad often tells me of how the civil war killed some of his friends and family and left others destitute. It also forced him to take his wife and child to America. The Roman civil war had a similar effect killing hundreds of thousands and leading to the autocratic Roman Empire. Text-to-Text: Fall of Rome
The Western Roman Empire fell in the year 476 A.D, there were many factors contributing to the fall of the Empire, such as unconcerned citizens, population, expansion, religion, economic, slave labor, and the military. In Document 1 it states that people gave up on the Roman Empire and didn’t believe it was worth saving. Citizens weren’t allowed to take part in politics and were excluded from their own army. The government slowly lost support which increased the level of government fraud. Also, population decline was a big factor to the fall of Rome; it had decreased from 1,000,000 people to 250,000.

Amidst the Red Scare at a high school graduation ceremony, William Faulkner conveys his reasoning to high schoolers that in order to change the world they have to overcome fear. Faulkner emphasizes his purpose by using repetition and word choice. In an overall encouraging speech, the speaker displays his purpose using repeated phrases. For instance, he said, “..when you have got old..you are tired..
The difference between the Red Scare in the 1940’s and the 1920’s, you had the Red Scare of 1940’s all about the characteristic of the affluent society when the people were in constant fear. Fear of nuclear bombs, nuclear weapons, fear of spies and politicians who were taking advantage of that fear. There was that constant fear of infiltration and espionage from the communists that made everyone always on the edge. You had working class people moving up to middle class, becoming all about materialistic things. Going up economically began to change the people in the society.
Communism and Big Brother Parallel In a world where everything seemed to be serene society began to face the evil beast that is communism. Destroying households, businesses, and the job industry the communist red scare is not a series of events to be taken lightly. In the novel 1984 by George Orwell, the author explores the historical parallel between Big Brother and the communist Red Scare through the use of situational irony and by relating the hidden aspects of communism in the novel to show how society feels threatened by the idea of an omnipresent power. “Escalating anti-communism by decade’s end, paralleling and fueling shrinking party ranks, fed growing paranoia on both the left and right” (Cohen 10). Many citizens began to have a
There are a lot of different theories about the girl in the red coat considering she is the only color featured in the film. To me, I think she represents the innocence of children throughout the holocaust. There is definitely a significance of the color red, because red conveys a lot of different emotions, like love and hate. Many of the adults in the movie become numb to their emotions because they know that there is a very slim chance that they will make it out of the holocaust alive. I think that the girl being in color represents the children’s hope that everything will turn out all right.
The United States faced many serious social problems in the early 19th century that concerned the reformers during the time. These problems not only gradually broke the society apart, but also eroded the democratic foundation of the nation. Understanding the seriousness of the problems, leaders from different areas expressed their serious concerns over social issues, including lawlessness, violence, immortality and poverty. These problems happened across the nation. For example, crime rates in New York City including juvenile delinquency and mob violence rose rapidly.
