.... signed a treaty they "would stay there until the water ran dry. After the Tribes signed with the south in the civil war, the Government took half their land, and put railroad tracks going east and west and north to south down the middle of the territory.

.... this knowledge, students can combine different subjects to formulate new ideas and concepts. As in mixing colors, a new color can only be created by combining various colors. The same is true for education, the resulting idea(s) and/or concept(s) is derived from the combination used to create it. A education provides a strong foundation of knowledge in many fields allowing students to create new theories and inventions. With this foundation, there are endless possibilities that students can expand and build on what others have learned rather than wasting time on what has already been discovered. In order to illustrate, I'll use the example of the telephone .....

.... they developed agriculture and husbandry (Mendelssohn 15). The Nile river is Egypt's primary sources of fresh water. The water from the Nile was essential for the growth of agriculture in Egypt.

Up to the 6th century fortifications were primarily communities in which most of the population lived. But in the middle of the 6th century, the armies of the Byzantine Empire began to build strong forts as defensive positions. For the next few centuries this castle building was confined to the Byzantine Empire, but later hordes of Islamic warriors who swept out of Arabia to conquer the Middle East, North Africa, and much Byzantine territory also started building such forts. Western Europe, in the depths of the Dark Ages from the 5th through the 9th century, h .....

.... that approached the level of domination and drastically altered China's traditional relationship with the world. Hence the Chinese Communist attitude toward China's traditional past is selectively critical, but by no means totally hostile. The Chinese Communist revolution, and the foreign policy of the regime to which it has given rise, have several roots, each of which is embedded in the past more deeply than one would tend to expect of a movement seemingly so convulsive. The Chinese superiority complex institutionalized in their tributary system was justified by any standards less advanced or efficient than those of the modern West. China developed an e .....

Radio listeners heard the emotional words of newsman Herb Morrison, sobbing into his recorder, "It's burning, bursting into flames, and it's falling on the mooring mast and all the folks. This is one of the worst catastrophes in the world. . . . Oh, the humanity and all the passengers!(Marben 58)" When this floating cathedral, called , burst into a geyser of flaming hydrogen there was a tremendous impact on the public, although two thirds of the people on board survived.

.... below. The arguments were followed with supporting statements as portrayed below as well. Everett presents us with a fair, two sided account of the confrontations between the Texas and the European settlers. One component of the thesis Everett relates to the caught between white settlers pushing westward and resistance from other tribes to the east. Everett gives several examples of Europeans pushing the westward. In 1817, the Western signed a treaty giving up land rights in the east to Europeans in exchange for permanent reserve in northern Arkansas.
