.... even gave away supplies such as warships, food, and medicine. America was extremely supportive of the war as long as they didn’t have to get in the trenches of it. They supported the British forces by fulfilling much needed supplies. America gave the British Parliament 7 billion dollars’ worth of American accouterments in 1942. Life on board these great sea giants wasn’t so spectacular. Hundreds of sailors had to live in cramped spaces sometimes without air-conditioning or heating. As the war progressed accommodations were made radically better by being given more refrigeration spaces and spacious rooms. The American Navy had a lot of great conquests. .....

.... Army, during the Civil War. The initial all-black regiment, the 54th Massachusetts, trained by its white commander, Col. Robert G. Shaw, suffered heavy casualties in a heroic, though unsuccessful attempt to capture Fort Wagner at Charleston (S.C.) harbor in July 1863. In all, about 209,000 ex-slaves and free blacks served in the Union Army, and more than 68,000 of them died in battle or from wounds or disease. After the Civil War, Congress authorized two cavalry regiments and four infantry regiments of black troops, who were led by white officers. The 9th and 10th cavalry regiments were formed in 1866 and were used to control "hostile" Indian tribes in .....

.... Army had shrunk extremely in size. In the year before, the North had lost an enormous amount of lives, but had more than enough to lose in comparison to the South. General Grant became known as the "Butcher" (Grant, Ulysses S., Personal Memoirs of U.S. Grant, New York: Charles L. Webster & Co.,1894) and many wanted to see him removed. But Lincoln stood firm with his General, and the war continued. This paper will follow the happenings and events between the winter of 1864-65 and the surrender of The Confederate States of America. All of this will most certainly illustrate that April 9, 1865 was indeed the end of a tragedy. II. CUTTING OFF THE SOUTH .....

.... most attracted the attention of the allies. The reason why the allies were intrested in it, not because of all the rumors being spread that the Jews were being gassed there, but because was a factory complex which was producing some goods that was an imporatant part to the Nazi war effort. " The allies were particularly interested in the nearby camp called III where there was a factory for the production of synthetic rubber". (www.scrapbookpages.com/Poland//02.html) During the years of the war, rubber was scarce and the Germans were ahead of the rest of the world in their plans and ideas to produce artifical rubber. - (www.scrapbookpages.com/Poland//02.html) .....

.... 1929 when the American stock market crashed. The Wall Street Crash of 1929 sent shock waves through all the economies of industrialised nations, and plunged the Capitalist system into the worst economic slump in history. This essay will attempt to consider the effect of the Wall Street Crash in causing the Great Depression, but also consider other causes such as the massive unequal distribution in income that existed and the lasting effects of the war in the form of debts owed to the US. To understand the sheer consequence of the Great Depression we can consider a normal economy. Most economies experience a ‘Boom and Bust’ cycle, where economies fluctuate betw .....

.... Because of Patton’s great leadership, the U.S. was able to invade North Africa, capture Sicily and halt the German counter attack in the Battle of Bulge. Patton had a family with a long tradition of military service. His father, George Patton, was the son of a brigadier general in command of the 22d Virginia Regiment who was killed at the Battle of Winchester in the Civil War for the Confederacy. His mother, Ruth Wilson, was the daughter of a savage fighter nicknamed “Don Benito” who was very well known for once returning from a battle with Indians, with a basket full of the enemies heads. George Smith Patton Junior was born on November 11, 1885 in San .....

.... a conservative house, specializing in well-made reproductions of famous paintings. When he was twenty Vincent was transferred, with a fine recommendation, to the London branch of Goupil's. He found a room in the home of Mrs. Loyer, who with her daughter Ursula, and therefore began the first of his several disastrous encounters with women. He fell in love with the girl, but evidently did not bother to tell her. When Vincent shared his feelings with Ursula, he discovered that the thought of loving him had never entered her head. In 1875 Uncle Cent arranged for him to be transferred to the Paris office in the hope that his spirits might be revived by a chang .....

.... Revisionist critique that Parliament did not contain opposition and was not powerful has many followers with many of the recent historians, such as Loades, Sharpe and Russell. Their argument stands on shaky ground. The three reigns prior to the Civil war (greatest power struggle of all time) were littered with Parliamentary opposition and power struggle. The more viable Whig argument states that Parliament was indeed powerful and contained vast opposition against the Crown. With two contradicting ideals, Elizabeth and her prerogatives over the "matters of state" (religion, foreign policy, marriage, succession and finance) in which Parliament couldn' .....
