Throughout history, there is always a dynamic with the oppressed, and with the oppressors.

(Interestingly, if Scott had brought his case earlier, state courts probably would have ruled in his favor.) While Chief Justice Taney may have hoped to settle the issue of slavery, he instead lit a fuse igniting the Civil War, which is part of the history of implementation. Unlike its Confederate counterpart, the Constitution is not a pro-slavery document. But it is only a “Glorious

Goya was born in the small Aragonese town of Fuendetodos (near Zaragoza) on March 30, 1746. His father was a painter and a gilder of altarpieces, and his mother was descended

Edouard Manet, often considered one of the founders of modern art, certainly challenged the norm and incited thought through his paintings and sketches. His works challenged social norms and were critical of politics. As we look at his art today it is hard to see how his work is controversial.

Edouard Manet considered himself a realist and disliked associating his name with the impressionist movement, which is why it may be ironic that today, Manet is considered one of the forefathers of the Age of Impressionism.
