.... the 1920s to the 1930, there were several factors that contributed to the changes in American society. The 1920s began shortly after in World War I when the United States and the Allies defeated the Germans in 1918. Many Americans were fed up with Woodrow Wilson, the 28th president from 1913 to 1921. The first election of the 1920s scoured Republican Warren G. Harding against Democrat James M. Cox. Cox supported Wilson and the League of Nations in the election.

The start of the new conservative era restored the .....

.... conceived by, and is even to this day constantly being refined that people maintain the view that the highest attainment of humanity is the freedom of individuals to express themselves unhindered by any form of external repression. In 1775 thirteen American colonies revolted against their British rulers. They expressed themselves by using anarchy to be freed from the unjust treatment of the British (Brinkley 120).

.... of Kansas and Nebraska. This act repealed the Missouri Compromise of 1820-21 and reopened the controversy over slavery in the western territories. In January of 1854, Senator Stephen A. Douglas of Illinois introduced a bill dividing the land into two parts: Kansas and Nebraska, and leaving the question of slavery to be decided by settlers. Even though this outraged antislavery people, after five months of debating, the bill was passed. This did not defuse the slavery issue, but split Kansas between the North and South.

.... and a nude male youth of c.600 B.C. (fig. 124) are perfect examples of the use of symbols to convey meaning. These statues, Kore (maiden) and Kouros (youth) were produced in large numbers, all being virtually the same in outline. Their general names emphasised the need for the statues to remain unidentified and the lack of personal character. Some were placed on graves only to be viewed as representations of the deceased in the broadest sense (completely impersonal). And some were used as offerings, for example: for a favoured person like the victor in an athletic competition.The strange lack of differentiation seems to be part of the character of these fi .....

In 1865, six men from a small town in Tennessee accidentally began what has grown to be the largest and most feared "hate group" in the country. The men decided to make a club to help release the stress of the times. The men were all poor and could not afford to make gowns or great costumes for the group, so they decided to use linens.

The second decision was between Chinese culture and western studies. The third major decision between managing western powers and ignoring them. The Chinese leadership made key decisions which led to the ultimate demise of Imperial China. So I will look at the impact of outside influence on China and ho .....

.... had no longer a suspect to question, President Lyndon Baines Johnson, set up a committee led by chief justice Earl Warren, to conduct an official investigation into Kennedy's murder. They were under immense pressure by the public to come up with a conclusion. On 24 September 1964, the Warren Commission finally issued a report of their findings. They concluded that President Kennedy was murdered by a single gunmen, Lee Harvey Oswald. There were numerous reasons why the Warren Commission came to this conclusion, varying from Oswalds background and most predominantly the hard evidence there was against him.

.... States had already seceded from the Union to form the Confederate States of America. This new confederation of states chose Jefferson Davis to be its new leader at the Confederate Convention in Montgomery. Both new Presidents were faced with difficult decisions very early in their administration of which the dilemma of Fort Sumter was one of the first and most important. Fort Sumter was constructed at the entrance of the Harbor of Charleston in South Carolina. In 1860 when South Carolina seceded, Major Anderson of the United States Military established his headquarters at Fort Sumter. The fort itself was militarily unimportant to either side, yet it late .....
