The Seminole tribe is the product of an ethno-cultural blending of the Creek peoples from the lower-central Southeast with indigenous Floridian tribes such as the Choctaw, Timuquan and Apalachicolas, some of whom were part of the Muschogean culture. The meaning of the word “Seminole” has been interpreted, loosely, as “runaway” or “broken off” (McReynolds 1957, 12). This refers to the separation of the Lower Creek peoples from the larger tribe, as described by an 18th-century observer. “Runaway,” reported historian Wiley Thompson, was “applicable to all the Indians in the Territory of Florida as all of them ran awayfrom the ...

With international banking as a major financial activity, the economies has experienced spiraling growth and also increase employment levels ...

The public view of lawyers comes from a number of sources. The news, television shows, movies, books, and personal experience influence people’s beliefs both in positive and negative ways. There are many examples both positive and negative that fuel people’s perceptions about the legal profession.

The War of 1812 is a significant event for the United States of America (America) that introduced much of the reforms characterizing the status quo. It placed much emphasis on respect for American sovereignty and diplomacy – with emphasis on respecting America’s diplomatic rights, the sanctity of American political unity and American economic development. On the other hand, it places heavy weight on controversial American expansionist effort on British Canada and Spanish Florida.

Currently, approximately close to 5 million citizens of the United States that represent close to 2 percent of the United States population is denied the right to vote because of felony conviction.

In my view, denying the vote to ex-offenders is antidemocratic and compromising to the values of freedom and self-determination. Upon completing their ...

The United States could not have won its independence without the assistance of France and Spain, particularly because their combined naval power was always a threat to Britain’s trade and colonies around the world. After its defeat in the land phase of the war in North America, the fighting continued for the next two years, and the U.S. peace negotiators used the opportunity presented by Britain’s war weariness and desire to retain as much of its overseas empire as possible to extract highly favorable trade and territorial concessions.

Although Gen. Cornwallis had surrendered at Yorktown, the British army ...

In 1939, the film “Gone with the Wind” was released and became one of the top-grossing films of all times.

This duality of intentions made the film both interesting and controversial in its nature. The rhetorical question in the article by Naomi Wolf “A generation on, do women feel free?” is of particular for this paper (Wolf 487). This question might be a mystery for ...

Egypt which is currently still passing through considerable turmoil especially with regards to civil administration has an education system which is very much in tatters at the moment. However this does not ...
