...The Fort Sumter Prison in the Civil War Doing this research paper I have discovered all the awful things that have happened in the prisons during the civil war. I have focused on the Fort Sumter prison near Andersonville, Georgia. Including how awful the conditions where for the prisons, like having no shelter, food, clean water, and not having a large enough space for all the union prisoners. Approximately 674,000 soldiers surrendered or were otherwise captured by both sides over the four year duration of the war. Out of the 674,000 soldiers that were captured, 211,000 where union soldiers and 463,000 where confederate soldiers. Neither side was prepared to deal with the security, public health, or resources that max influx of human beings demanded. It’s didn’t help that they were already stressed. Consequently overcrowded and unsanitary, prison camp facilities resulted in a wide spread disease, starvation, and a lot of death (Patrick Teegarden)....

...------------------------------------------------- REsearch Paper By: Asad Rafique July 31, 2014 Professor Russell History 121 July 31, 2014 Professor Russell History 121 Causes Of Civil War Generally, texts have showed that inconsistency between northern and southern financial prudence initiated the Civil War. The industrial revolt in the North, throughout the first few years of the 19th century, resulted into Machine age economy that depend on wage manual worker, not slaves. At the same time, the Southern states continuously to depend on slaves for their agricultural economy and cotton manufacture. South made enormous revenues from cotton, slaves and struggled to sustain them. Northside did not require slaves to maintain their economy so they fought to free abolish slavery as whole from United States. History shows us the agricultural economy was indeed one cause of civil war, but it certainly wasn’t the only cause. Wars are complicated and there causes are not simple understandable. In this research paper we will discuss causes what started the Civil War. A war that separated the nations, ruined harvests, towns, and railroad lines. Many issues embarked the nation into disorder in 1861. Key administrative foundations contain the slow collapse of the Whig Party, the establishment of the Democrat Party and, the 1860’s voting of Abraham Lincoln as president. Religious disagreement to slavery also increased, braced by ministers and protestors such as “William Lloyd Garrison”. Ecological...

...Enterprise Resource Planning and Systems Integration Cesar Campana, MMIS0627 Graduate Student, Nova Southeastern University School of Computer and Information Sciences September, 2011 Author Note Cesar Campana, Graduate Student, School of Computer and Information Sciences, Nova Southeastern University. Correspondence concerning this paper should be addressed to Cesar Campana, 2240 SW 50 Av, Fort Lauderdale Fl 33317. E-mail: cc1604@nova.edu Background Enterprise Resource Planning integrates internal and external management information across an entire organization, embracing finance/accounting, manufacturing, sales and service, customer relationship management, etc. ERP systems automate this activity with an integrated software application (Hossein, 2004). The ERP is “Web enabled”, meaning that they work using Web clients, making them accessible to all of the organization’s employees, clients, partners, and vendors from anytime and anyplace, thereby promoting the BU’s effectiveness (Motiwalla & Thompson, 2012). The fundamental advantage of ERP is that integrating the myriad processes by which businesses operate saves time and expense. Decisions can be made more quickly and with fewer errors. Data becomes visible across the organization (Vikki, 2010). The disadvantages comes from the tight budget organizations allocate to personnel training thus resulting inadequate use of ERP systems and poor testing and implementing of changes. The experience and skill of the...

...Britain’s and Americans over cherished political standards. The following conflict between the Americans and the Britain’s brought forth another country. The New World sustained new thoughts regarding the way of citizens, society, and government. In the Old World, few individuals born to such permanent surroundings challenged to question their humble societal position however European immigrants were not easily extinguished. In the American wild, they experienced the world that was theirs to make. During this period the people of America were subjected to hostility, heavy taxes were imposed on to them to finance the colonial expenses. The objective of this paper is to evaluate the thesis of the four articles that are being closely related to the theme England was the safest place to live between the years of 1763-1775. This paper will effectively focus on the social, economic and political stands of England to its citizens as well as the colonies. Women in the American Revolution The author has clearly defined the term patriotism as an act of being an active member in the progression of a specific idea similar to independent from the states that are being denied. For this situation, there is a solid connection between the acts of women being patriotically active in the achievement of the war. In this circumstance, the poem “The Attempt is Praise,” was published in the Maryland Gazette, composed by an anonymous soldier. The poem demonstrated the subject according to the suggestion...

...Joel Fernando 11-11-08 HIST-281 WI Research Paper Rough Draft Native Americans in the Civil War The American Civil War was fought between the Unions, from the northern region of America, and the Confederacy, from the southern region of America. A war that was started because of slavery and fought between western europeans and incidentally people who live on the land such as Native American. The battles fought were all over the land in America. So, if a territory was on the land, then the people who lived there would inevitably get involved with the war. Battles were fought on indian territory, and as a result many Native Americans got involved in with the Civil War. The reason why Native Americans got involved in the Civil War was because they were recruited by the Confederate or the Union to fight for their territory. Between 1861 to 1865 Native Americas fought truculently for themselves in each battle in the Civil War. It was their right to fight for territory, which gave them a choice to fight or another choice to move their lifestyle and their culture to another place. The territory that the Native Americans had were so important to them because of the natural resources and knowledge they had from the land. Moving to a different place would be difficult because they would have to start over from nothing. Many Native Americas thought they could try and avoid the war, but it was uneasy to ignore the Civil War. Native American tribes would try to completely avoid confutation...

...FORENSIC PSYCHOLOGY | H.H HOLMES | AMERICAS FIRST SERIAL KILLER | | Kevin Hutter | 10/20/2011 | H.H HOLMES, THE FIRST AMERICAN SERIAL KILLER, IN THE FOLLOW RESEARCH PAPER WE WILL BE LOOKING AT PSYCHOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF HIS CRIMES TROUGH HIS EARLY CHILDHOOD TILL HIS EXECUTION IN THE LATE 1800’S | Herman Webster Mudgett, better known under the alias of Dr. Henry Howard Holmes, was one of the first documented American serial killers in the modern sense of the term. Mudgett was born in Gilmanton, New Hampshire [4] to Levi Horton Mudgett and Theodore Page Price, both of whom were descended from the first non-native settlers in the area. According to the 2007 Most Evil profile on Holmes, his father was a violent alcoholic, and his mother was a devout Methodist who read the Bible to Herman. He claimed that, as a child, schoolmates forced him to view and touch a human skeleton after discovering his fear of the local doctor. The bullies initially brought him there to scare him, but instead he was utterly fascinated, and he soon became obsessed with death. Born to an affluent family, Holmes had a privileged childhood. It has been said that he appeared to be unusually intelligent at an early age. Still there were haunting signs of what was to come. He expressed an interest in medicine, which reportedly led him to practice surgery on animals. Some accounts indicate that he may have been responsible for the death of a friend. [2] Holmes also talked about his childhood...

...The husband, James Wigton, was away from his house, the Indian came there, and from his confession, murdered Mrs. Wigton and her five children by beating their brains out with stones. “Mrs. Wigton and the youngest were not quite dead, when first discovered…. he next went to Mr. Kiester’s, where he was captured, in a desperate resistance, in which a man named Blair was seriously injured.” He was taken to trial on Wednesday the 13th, in which it resulted on Saturday in a verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree. In addition, I have realized that through my research the slaves had many altercations with their masters or other whites. In this case, I begin to wonder what would come of this. Yes, the slaves did resist and take drastic measures but there was never a further punishment than that of death. I ask, why did they continue to rebel against the institution, if in the end they did not win. Was it that they needed to take a more forceful approach to the situation? Indeed! This is where revolts would come into...

Instead, policy was inconsistent, ambiguous and changing – resulting in confusion regarding morally and legally acceptable standards for interrogation and detention. These lapses in policy contributed...

...Vince Foster Did Not Commit Suicide Brian L. Marone Excelsior College maronebrian@gmail.com English 101 Instructor: BK Harvey 20 February 2013 Abstract Contrary to reports issued by the government under the administration of Bill Clinton, all forensic evidence points to the probability that Vince Foster did not kill himself. Regardless of the supporting evidence regarding his "suicide note," motive, and knowledge of the Clintons' involvement in the Whitewater investigation, the crime scene investigation and further forensic evidence scrutinized by the FBI do not in the least support the suicide theory. The primary forensic evidence negating the suicide theory centers around the blood, or lack thereof, at the crime scene, and the evidence regarding the gun – fingerprints, blood, and ballistics. Unfortunately for whoever murdered Vince Foster, they did not accurately portray the suicide scene. If Vince Foster allegedly did shoot himself in the mouth, pointing towards the top of his head, the bullet would have passed through the nasal cavity. Since the heart continues to beat provided that there is oxygenated blood in the body, and considering that this was a direct head wound, the heart should have continued to pump for at the MINIMUM a few moments, producing an outpour of blood from the nasal/ sinus cavity. This effect is similar to a bloody nose, however, at least one thousand times more powerful since the nasal/ sinus cavity is completely obliterated by the lead...

...Native American Relocation Native American culture and its role in American history have always been a fascinating subject. There have been reading assignments on Native American’s removal and resistance, Black Hawk and his rebellion, and Emerson’s letter to President Van Buren. These pieces gave us a brief overview of America’s goals at the time, the action they took to achieve these goals, the Native Americans’ reaction, and the opinions held by the American people. These readings only scratched the surface of Native Americans and the role they have played in American History. The main cause of the interaction between Americans and the Native Americans was an increase in demand for land by Americans. As they pushed west and south, the frequency of interactions with Native Americans increased and so did hostility. I am aware that land demand issues were normally approached at first with peaceful negations. The American government would meet with the tribes and develop a treaty that resulted in less land for the Native Americans and more land for Americans. This would satisfy the Americans for a period of time but demand for land would just continue to increase. At this point Indians would either get restless and rebellions would ensue or Americans would violate the treaties and make moves on the Native’s land. In either situation the superior force of the American troops would result in them defeating the Indians. The Indians would then be forced to comply with American demands...

...her skills in tradecraft and deception. Without formal instruction, Miss van Lew became a master handler of both the sources and Federal Agents within her spy ring. Even though Southern authorities noticed indicators of her work, they where never able to stop the line of information she compromised to aid the Union’s struggle to reunite the country. Miss van Lew’s work during the war gave her the courage to raise the first Union flag in Richmond a full hour before General Grant took the city on 3 April 1865. Miss van Lew belonged to a prominent Richmond family. Her family home stood on one of Richmond’s highest hills, Church Hill, and was an impressive three stories tall. The home was located across from the church in which Patrick Henry called for liberty or death. Elizabeth’s father was a wealthy hardware vendor and was known among pre-war Richmond society. Elizabeth attended schooling in her mother’s hometown of Philadelphia. She was tutored and given the best of academic and social training. It was here that she became an ardent abolitionist. Even though her abolitionist beliefs were strong, she maintained she was a loyal Southerner holding to an old Virginia tradition of opposition to human bondage. She stated she was the loyal one and her fellow Virginians were the traitors. As the war began, Miss van Lew became a freak in Richmond, a woman whose existence was a protest against...
