.... We also borrowed from the English court system a court that handled disputes of small amounts of money this is what we call today Small Claims Court. The English also had various other local courts that the colonies used as well. Codified laws or that is to say laws that are written down in a book of codes or body of laws were used by some of the more organized colonies. These codified laws were also loosely based on English law not to say that we took their laws and directly copied them down but suffice to say that most were directly related to English law. The colonies put their own spin on these laws and created new laws to fit their needs. Trial by .....

.... worked from dawn till dusk and sometimes even longer. Solomon Northrup describes his experience as a slave on his Louisiana plantation: The hands are required to be in the cotton field as soon as it is light in the morning and with the exception of ten or fifteen minutes, which is given them at noon to swallow their allowance of cold bacon, they are not permitted a moment idle until it is too dark to see, and when the moon is full, they often times labor till the middle of the night (Northrup 15). The slaves lived in constant fear of punishment while at work, and it was that fear that drove them to obey. Northrup continues to say that, "No matter how .....

.... from Africa to provide most of the labor required for growing the crop. In time, other plantation crops such as cotton, sugar cane, indigo, and sugar beets were to thrive in the South. "By the onset of the Civil War, 2.4 million slaves were engaged in cotton production" (Long 16). A rural way of life that supported an agrian economy based on slave labor was quickly established in the South. The North, however, was a cooler, rockier climate that would not support the development of plantations. As a result, the North's economy came to depend more on trade and industry than on agriculture. This economy supported the growth of cities, although many lived in .....

.... are both blaxploitation movies about pimps which clearly show the conditions and inherent social problems behind the blaxploitation phenomenon. Blaxploitation movies affected the music industry as well, because modern hip hop music is derived from these movies. Dolemite, starring and produced by Rudy Ray Moore, was made in 1975. "Directed by D'Urville Martin, Dolemite deals with a street smart pimp who was framed by the 4th ward's biggest dope dealer, Willie Green (played by D'Urville Martin). After two years in jail, Dolemite is released to help apprehend Willie Green and avenge the death of his nephew, Little Jimmy." (Goodwin). "The self proclaimed 'Kin .....

.... at the western end of the British sector, and the other off Omaha Beach, in the American sector. So as to disorganise the enemy defences, the Allied air force and navy were brought in to provide heavy bombardment of the Atlantic Wall fortifications. Special armoured vehicles (amphibious tanks, bulldozer tanks, mine-clearing tanks and flame-throwing tanks) were designed to support the assault troops during the attack. The landing operation began during the night of 5th to 6th June when three airborne divisions were dropped on either flank of the front. The paratroops' mission was to capture certain keypoints (the Merville battery, the bridge over the .....

.... an influence over them. The main target of his calls were largely a group of people called the Girondins. The Jacobins blamed the Girondins for the defeats on the battlefield and the rising prices of food. On the second of June the Sans-Culottes, supporters of the Jacobins, forced their way into the Convention and expelled the leading Girondins . Many of the expelled Girondins fled Paris, in fear of facing the recently invented guillotine. Many fled to their provinces. In doing so they triggered off revolts in the provinces which supported the Girondins. By the summer of 1793, sixty out of eighty-three departments had joined the rebellion against the gover .....

.... meant that he thought the whole world was in the Depression and that the whole world would have to come up with a way to get out of it. Millions of people lost all of their savings. Many people ended up sleeping in a shelter for the unemployed and eating in soup kitchens. Seasons had a lot to do with what some people ate during the depression. They lived on farms and when the crops didn't grow their menus changed a lot. Many of these people lived in the Dust Bowl. A stretch of land in between the Mississippi and Rocky Mountains. The Dust Bowl was called that because of a massive drought that hit during the Great Depression years. Winds carried all of the to .....

.... and the “unreached” people would see the light of Christ Jesus in Christians in the way that they live their everyday lives. Sheldon’s attempt to live in the theme of “what Jesus would do”, did not force any beliefs on anyone or threaten anyone’s beliefs. It was purely a movement of self-commitment that an individual made on there own basis. Sheldon did not look at those who did not take the challenge of following “what Jesus would do” and frown upon them. No he just prayed for them and asked for guidance for him to reach the people. Malcolm X however, had a different agenda than that of Charles Sheldon. Malcolm was viewed by most Americans as a rad .....
