.... excellence in leadership can be traced to his character, which is shaped by his moral values and personality. King believed in equality and peace for all races. “Black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholic, will be able to join hands” (King, 1963). King did not just focus on African American struggles, but for all races and creeds. King’s strategy was one of peace and embracing the oppressor. “The sons of slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down at the table of brotherhood” (King 1963). He encourages his followers to remember that all people are God’s children and that hopefully one day all Americans fro .....

.... it portrayed the KKK as the savior of the South after the years of the Civil War. Running two hours and 45 minutes, this film was first shown to President Woodrow Wilson who stated, "It is like writing history with lightning." With the President's support The Birth of a Nation opened to audiences around the country in March of 1915 and ran for 47 straight weeks including 280 sold out shows in New York. D.W. Griffith's film spawned a new generation of the KKK. William Simmons was the first to seize upon the white supremacist feeling that swept the nation. On Thanksgiving night in 1915, Simmons and some of his friends climbed Stone Mountain in Atlanta, .....

.... during his life, and the chaos that occurred in Rome after his death. The contributions that Caesar made towards the strength of Rome’s success, and the chaos and collapse of Rome after his death made the assassination of Julius Caesar a tragedy. Julius Caesar was assassinated by his own senate on March 15 44 BC; also known as the Ides of March. As he was walking in to the senate house, a man told him to beware the Ides of March. He ignored this statement and walked into the senate house. At this time some of the Senate members surrounded Caesar in a stealthy manner and tugged on his toga. As he looked around he was stabbed by many of the senate membe .....

.... at its best and what it can destroy at its worst. My goal in this paper is not so much to present all of the best or worst of the art from these movements, but to provide concrete material for discussions regarding the nature and purpose of art. Arno Breker, Nazi, was, in a certain sense, both the best and the worst of the Nazi artists. His technique was excellent, and his choice of subjects, poses and theme were outstanding. On the other hand, he was much more directly and effectively a supporter of the Nazi cause. Had his sculpture been ugly, ambiguous in meaning, poorly executed or less directly associated with Nazi militarism, the negative effects on .....

.... rule, India remained oppressed until Mohandas Gandhi, with his doctrine of non-violence lead the country to freedom. Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. had faith in his beliefs of equality, and that all people, regardless of race should be free and governed under the same laws. In the later part of the 1960's, Birmingham, Alabama, the home of King, was considered to be the most racially divided city in the South. "Birmingham is so segregated, we're within a cab ride of being in Johannesburg, South Africa", 1 when King said this he was only speaking half jokingly. In Birmingham the unwritten rule towards blacks was that "if the Klan doesn't stop you, the police w .....

.... Democrat Francis Spinola had been a vigorous foe of Republican policies and Lincoln. But now he swore his loyalty with stirring words, "This is my flag, which I will follow and defend." This speech gave great assurance that the masses in the great cities were devoted to the Union and ready to enlist for its defense. More than 400,000 European immigrants fought for the Union, including more than 170,00 Germans and more than 150,00 Irish. Many saw their services as a proud sacrifice. The first officer to die for the Union was Captain Constatin Blandowski, one of many immigrants who earlier had fought for freedom in Europe and then joined Lincoln's army. .....

.... the Revolutionary war. A common fear of living in a divided society created the Civil War. The need to bring down an aggressive nation took the United States into the Korean War. And territorial disputes lay behind the Mexican-American and American Indian Wars. Like most countries, the United States, at different periods, has been victimized by the dark forces of war. Though reasons (or excuses) the American people have been given to the American people to justify military action were given before most of our wars, not every war has been popular. Ever since the Revolutionary War up until the Vietnam War, and even through to the Gulf War, pu .....

.... about 60° F. The germination is complete when the sprout has grown to about 3/4 the length of the grain and the hard part of the grain, or the shell, has turned soft. The goal for germination is for the starches within the grain to break down into shorter lengths. At this shorter length stage, the grain is called green malt. Kilning is the next stage after the grains have sprouted. Kilning is the process of drying the grain in the kiln where the temperature is slowly raised during the 30-35 hour period. After kilning, the result is finished malt, with soluble starches and developed enzymes. These grains each have a different and distinct flavor depending on h .....
