Aloysius “Louis” Baumann was a businessman who truly cared for the well being of his customers as well as his family. He was born on August 22nd, 1863 in Hirschau, Bavaria in southeast Germany. Louis accompanied his parents, Joseph and Anna, on the long journey to settle on a farm near the town of Branch in Manitowoc County, Wisconsin. Throughout the duration of his early years, Louis attended public school, dabbled in carpentry and assisted his family on the farm. In 1885 he moved to a farm
of democracy (LaFeber 179). In order to complete his vision the country needed more land. The Constitution did not authorize the acquisition of land, but it did provide for the making of treaties, so that Jefferson felt the acquisition of new territory was constitutional, with an amendment. He had mixed feelings about this issue and warned that American liberty would be threatened if the Constitution was distorted (LeFeber 181). He was not willing to loose the opportunity to expand the United States
culture Natives had. Thomas Fitzpatrick was an Indian agent that had convinced the Natives to move and live in the west side of the Mississippi River. Natives thought they would be safe there because it was illegal for Americans to go in their territory. Even with that protection of the land Americans will sneak in to find gold, which caused for the Indians to be displaced again. It made the Cheyenne and Arapaho move from the land that was once promised to them. Thus to find steady to the invasion
(Sacagawea, PBS 2005). In 1788, Sacagawea was born to the Shoshone tribe, (otherwise known as the "Snake Nation") which was located in the Rocky Mountain region. If their territory was still around today, it would cover the states of Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming. Sacagawaea's tribe made up the more northern/eastern part of the territory, lived in tepee's, and were superb buffalo hunters. These people, called Lemhi Shoshone, were great warriors and excellent on horses. It was around this time (1790's)

The Kickapoo were known as formidable warriors whose raids took them over a wide territory, ranging as far as Georgia and Alabama to the southeast; Texas and Mexico to the southwest; and New York and Pennsylvania to the east. Early in the 18th century part of the tribe settled near the Milwaukee River and, after the destruction of the
Song lyrics, classic literature and films. Can such things be responsible for personal demise let alone homicide? How can a person seem so “normal” at certain periods in time, yet all the while, seriously mentally ill? Mark Chapman is one of these people. Throughout his unstable life, he lived the status quo while teetering on the lines of insanity; however, the silence of others eventually contributed to the death of John Lennon at the hands of Chapman. Mark Chapman had a tumultuous childhood
is officially pronounced dead at approximately 11:15 p.m. (3) Bettencourt 4 Mark David Chapman sat on the curb, waiting for the police to arrive. He had removed his coat and hat to show he was not concealing any weapons. When he was asked by the Dakota doorman Jose Perdomo, “ Do you know what you have done?” – Chapman calmly replied, “ Yes, I just shot John Lennon”. While it was true that he had indeed shot John Lennon, what Mark David Chapman did that night was much more then he probably ever could
“Do it, do it, do it!” These words bounced against Mark David Chapman’s mind before he shot five fatal rounds of his .38 pistol into the famous John Lennon’s back. Many people believe that the novel “The Catcher in the Rye” by J.D. Salinger had heavily influenced and triggered Chapman’s assassination of the famous Beatles member. Curiously, there are three well known serial killers and murderers who idolized Salinger’s “The Catcher in the Rye”. So, why were these three, Mark David Chapman, John W
if willing can become an alpha of the pack but it happens rarely depending on the personality of the wolf. Either having a fight or flight instinct, some omegas find themselves away from the pack and the bullying of their peers, roaming off the territory to become a lone wolf and do as they please. However, lone wolves are put at risk of other elements such as other predators, and catching smaller prey, to leave the pack also means to leave the protection of the pack which many are too fearful to
"pink ribbons" as a sign of the innocence and goodness of the town he is leaving behind (211). As he continues "on his present evil purpose" he sets off at sunset to enter the forest (212). A place "darkened by all the gloomiest trees," unknown territory, and a place where "there may be a devilish Indian behind every tree," with this we know the forest represents evil and sinfulness (212). His decision to enter the forest and leave his "Faith" behind is the first decision, of many, between good
definition of power may be ascertained through the characters' actions. A great disparity exists among the characters and their concepts, or even definitions of power. Ultimately what the majority character in the play desire is control: control of territory or control over their peers. Control is, however, the extension or outcome of power. This contrast may be seen through the interaction between Alonso and Sebastian. Although Alonso is the "kin", and is representative of power he has little control
abundance of food, it is not worth defending that which is plentiful for animals. She points out predictability as another environmental factor: if a resource is unpredictable, then it is not economical to defend it. It is only worthwhile to defend a territory if there is high probability that the resources will still be available when they are wanted. However, the costs and benefits of being territorial not only depend on the environment, but also on the species and its characteristics. Humans, for
The Mae Enga Over the centuries the Enga people of Papua New Guinea have adapted certain cultural characteristics to cope with varying environmental and social changes. Some aspects of the Enga peopleís lives that have shown the most cultural adaptation to the surrounding ecosystem are their horticultural practices, system of tribal warfare and clan organization. Through these adaptations, the Enga have gained ways to regulate their population, reduce their risk, control, communal resources
Charleston to impart my knowledge of the region. My travels have been long and arduous. I arrived by way of a freight ship bearing finished goods for the colony on the twenty-eighth day of March, in the twenty-third year of thy reign. All that province, territory, or tract of ground, called South Carolina, lying and being within our dominions of America is well. The environmental conditions of South Carolina differ dramatically to that of England. The days are long, hot, humid, and at times damp. The people

I would like to give you a better understanding of what it is to be Kurdish by describing to you the past and present condition of Kurdistan, the state or territory that the Kurdish people populate. A brief understanding of the history of the Kurdish people is all that is needed to successfully accretion just why we should be more involved and educated about the current political activities surrounding Kurdistan
was called the "10% Plan." It called for 10% of the people would voted in the 1860 Election to take a pledge of loyalty to the Union. This plan was met by harsh oppostion by the Radical Republicans in Congress who viewed the South as conquered territory. These Radicals said that Lincoln's plan was much too soft. In return, Republicans in Congress then moved to pass the Wade-Davis Bill in 1864. This bill required that a majority of the South would have to take an iron clad oath that the had
powerful than all. In Germany, the Chief of the German General Staff, Count Alfred von Schlieffen, created a plan of attack in case of the possibility of a two-front war. But, this plan required invading Belgium, which(at the time) was neutral territory and proteced by England, Despite the promise of England to Belgium, Schlieffen continued with his attack plans. He believed that Germany’s army was far more powerful and advanced than England, and that there was no reason he should feel threatened
choice but to wait to be rescued, they try to figure out what is necessary to sustain a civilized life similar to the one before. They start out fairly well, demonstrating a relatively democratic and cooperative society. However, as life in the crude territory continues, and the hope for rescue diminishes, the inevitable happens. Things begin to fall apart. The neglecting of rules and their desire for fun and violence overtake them, ultimately destroying any order or peace they had on the island. Although
the Roma people, because they considered their lives of higher value than other cultures’ lives, they composed their army of many smaller neighboring cultures. As the Roma army began to fight the Muslim army who was attempting to take over Indian territory, they began to migrate into different parts of India and later on into Europe. These migrations have been speculated to be as early as the 11th century. The Roma people are comprised of three main tribal groups: the Gitanos, the Kalderash, and
In mid-20th century western society, preconceptions of male behavior remained inert. Stanley from A Streetcar Named Desire exemplifies rigid stereotypes of an alpha male within American society and Gallimard from M Butterfly juxtaposes with a deep, but thus far unfulfilled, desire for complete dominance over a woman. Society expected men to be exclusive figures of authority within the home, and more generally patriarchal dominants. Stanley, the antagonist in Streetcar, is immediately introduced
