War Is Peace Analysis

With a winner and a loser then only one of the countries will have peace. Even with the winner having peace then they still have lost a lot of people in the war so there really is no winner in war. What president Woodrow meant by peace without war was if there is no winner or loser then we will all agree and all have peace. President Woodrow said, “Victory

Megan Dees 4/6/17 History Common Assignment When the war began to end, president Woodrow Wilson began to put his peace plan into full effect. The president believed that the cause of World War 1 was due to the fundamental flaws in the international relations of countries. His plan was known as the fourteen points, which showed his vision of what would make world peace. Wilson says that reductions to trade barriers, and fair adjustment of colonies would decrease sentiments that will lead to war. President Wilson proposed an international organization which compromised with all of the world’s nation’s representatives that would help cease any conflict from escalating.

The type of peace, temporary or more permanent, depends on how long it will last as conflict is a part of human nature, leading to the conclusion peace can lead to war. A temporary peace can be compared to putting a band-aid over a bullet hole; it might hold and stop the blood on the surface but there’s much more damage in the inside. The Treaty of Versailles was a band-aid to the other world problems after WW1. First when the treaty was being written the US, Britain and France could not agree to which degree the terms against Germany should be. The US wanted “peace without victory”, France wanted to cripple Germany and gain security from the treaty and Britain wanted middle ground of wat the US and Germany wanted (Treaty of Versailles: How America, France & Britain Benefited.).

“No other single document had the power to shake the nation to its roots and threaten its future as did Lincoln's edict, which did nothing other than proclaim freedom for those persons held in slavery in states actively seeking to break away from the government of the United States.” (Girardi, 2013) The Emancipation Proclamation was created to assist President Lincoln in support of the war. It caused not only uproar of the South, but also in the North. Majority of the Northern States still agreed that slavery had existed for far too long, but all the Southern states still felt slavery was not a problem. Before the war, in the early 1800s, a law had been passed to end slave trades and now the Emancipation Proclamation would be the beginning to the abolition of slavery. This document alone was the root of the Civil War.

In chapter 10 Howard Zinn talks about the civil war, the disadvantages and advantages between the poor and rich. The poor have always been the bait in America, due to the lack of money and power. When war is in progress, most of the time the poor are demanded to go to war because the wealthy groups have the money and power to escape from death. “ To give people a choice between two different parties and allow them, in a period of rebellion, to choose the slightly more democratic one was an ingenious mode of control. Like so much in the American system, it was not devilishly contrived by some master plotters; it developed naturally out of the needs of the situation”( Zinn, 200).

Whenever you goes, there will be paparazzi and reporters. They have been watching your life and things you did. Your life would be exposed to the public, all the crimes you did will also be found out easily. People who are not famous can easily cover up things they have done or easily bail themselves out of jail because news will not report things that are not important or things that did by an ordinary citizen. Celebrities’ life have no privacy, things they did will be hard to cover up and it will be easily found out.

Jackson was obviously pro-slavery considering he owned about 150 slaves. A lot of people believe that this was not really a bad thing considering the times he lived in but in reality, it does not matter. The fact is this man owned many people as if they were his property, knowing they were living breathing human beings like him, is horrendous. Slavery existed to show off wealth and keep wealth in expense of African-American’s freedom. There is no difference between a “good” slave-master or a bad one because they are all terrible and should be recognized as

In 1619, when slavery began in America, slaves were used as a force of labor to build and work on the new land. Unfortunately, slavery continued on for the next three centuries in the United States. Today, people view slavery as an inhumane and cruel way of treating people, but back then many people saw nothing wrong with the holding of slaves. For the most part, slavery was morally and ethically wrong since the enslavement of people was terrible. In general, slavery is unfitting because Thomas Jefferson once said “...that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights...” (Declaration of Independence).

First, the slave owners maintained power over their slaves by disgusting them with freedom on the holidays. Frederick Douglass says, “Most of us used to drink it down and the result was just to think that there was little to choose between liberty and slavery” (77). On the holidays the slave masters would give their slaves

Many people that are for the Fourth Amendment believe that it is a great amendment that protects them from unnecessary searches or when police abuse the law and destroy property to find what they need. Although some people think that the Fourth Amendment can be used as an excuse to hide drugs or weapons from the police when they have alleged reasons that what you are doing so is illegal. Now that I have done lot’s of research on the Fourth Amendment I understand that it has had a much larger effect than just protecting U.S. citizens from unreasonable searches and seizures by the government. The writs of assistance showed the colonists they needed a government that had valid reasons to search them or seize their property. Once the colonists had their own government, the ratified the Fourth Amendment to give themselves these protections.
