During this time New York’s Governor Nelson Rockefeller ran the State prison as forced labor camps as well as other state prisons. State Prison during this time also had an all white correctional staff and eighty-five percent of ’s prisoners were Black and Latino. Working conditions in State Prison were unbearable, prisoners were political, poor and maltreated. Hygienic conditions were very bad and medical care was practically non- .....

.... who were rebelling against Spanish rule. The Treaty of Nonsuch (1585) along with damaging raids by Drake against the Spanish commerce finally convinced Philip that a direct invasion of England was necessary. Philip wanted to restore England to Catholicism, keep his wealth he discovered, and prove that his country is still looked upon as all-powerful. King Philip disliked Elizabeth with a passion. He tried to plot against her ages ago with Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots, in 1568. She was beheaded in 1587 for she pose a threat to the queen and England's safety. Finally Philip decided he had to do something about it himself. He drew up a flawless plan tha .....

.... endorsed between nations leads to policy change. The lessons learned from previous agreements, aid in creating new policies. Korea, suggested by Cummings, was a buffer zone between China and Japan. China acted as the big brother or role model for Korea. Culture, language values and society itself developed by free choices made by the Korean government. However, China was always ready to step in if Korea seemed to get to powerful or weak. Cummings makes this relationship sound as if everything was all right as long as Korea depended on the aid of China and respected China’s dominance of the region. Japan although at times respected China’s power believed .....

.... patronage. Everything French was in vogue on the continent.” (Louis XIV: French Mastermind). His seventy-two year reign was the longer than any other ruler in modern European history. “Louis XIV brought France to its peak of absolute power and his words ‘L’etat c’est moi’ (I am the state) express the spirit of a rule in which the king held all political authority. His absolutism brought him into conflict with the Huguenots and the papacy, with damaging repercussions. His many foreign wars became a financial burden, yet his long reign is associated with the greatest age of French culture, symbolized by the Palace of Versailles.” (Biographies: Louis XIV). His inf .....

.... the forming of The Great Compromise, which consisted of the House of Representatives and the Senate. The House would be made up by proportional representation and the Senate would be run under equal representation. Another issue still in 1787 was the question if slaves would count when calculating the population of states. The south of course wanted to count slaves, but the North refused to count them. This lead to the Three-Fifths Compromise that stated that slaves would count as 3/5 of one person. This compromises satisfied both the North and south without giving either a majority. In 1820 a north and south dispute sprang up again, this time it was about the .....

.... of the Northwest Ordinance. Nonetheless, it was much too weak to give the new nation the necessary foundation on which the growth of society could be started from. For one thing, any amendment of the Articles required a unanimous vote throughout the colonies. Since this was almost impossible, there always being two sides to everything [a pro and a con], changing the Articles to eliminate the ideas that did not function properly was near impossible. Another factor of the Articles' ineffectiveness was that Congress was in essence tied in its authority. After the war, the colonists trusted no ultimate authority; not even one they designed. It c .....

.... mixed reviews. Crittenden was willing to amend his compromise to suit his colleagues' ideas, but it was not enough, and the proposal was ultimately unsuccessful because of a variety of reasons, leading to the deterioration of Southern unity and loyalty towards the Union. During the 1850's, the growing debate over slavery was nearing a definite boiling point. The controversy culminated with the election of Abraham Lincoln to Presidency in 1860. A major issue that was being tossed around during compromise talks was the 36°30' line, established by the Missouri Compromise in 1820. This compromise said that Maine would be admitted to the Union as a free state as .....

.... and rich grazing land the islands offered. In 55 B.C. Julius Caesar made his first invasion, and over time a Roman society evolved. In the fifth century A.D. more invaders arrived, and the Roman Britons, on their own since the western Roman empire had begun to dissolve, were ill-equipped to repel them. It is even possible that some were invited by a Briton king to help fight the Picts in Scotland. Whatever motivated them and however they came, the various groups that settled over the course of the next few decades were not a single, homogenous unit, although most--perhaps even all--spoke a similar language. In his history, the Venerable Bede tells us of Angle .....
