... to Macbeth's stalwartness in which his sword is covered in the blood of the enemy. After these few references to honor, the symbol of blood now changes to show a theme of deception and treason. Lady Macbeth starts this off when she asks the spirits to "make thick my blood." What she is saying by this, is that she wants to make herself insensitive and remorseless for the deeds which she is about to commit. Lady Macbeth knows that the evidence of blood is a treacherous symbol, and knows it will deflect the guilt from her and Macbeth to the servants when she says, "smear the sleepy grooms with blood," and "If he do bleed, I'll gild the faces of the grooms wit ...

... That money could now be being used to support criminal activities. As we see now this could be not only an international problem, but a domestic problem also. In today’s warfare the victor is left in rebuilding the fallen enemy. In this case the United States won the cold war and is now left to pay the bill for rebuilding Russia. The money that is being use comes directly from taxpayers. I believe that this is the reason why Mr. O’Harrow believes this will have a serious effect on policy decision. If the money that is supposed to help the Russian people is being for wrongdoing and the Russians are behind this, the scandal could have a serious effect on U.S. an ...

... capital diffused farther. By the dawn of the 20th century, British capital could be found all over the Earth. A second approach to the profit motive was somewhat similar to the supposedly out of favor mercantilist model. Leaders of industry and commerce wanted imperial possessions to be completely reliant on England for all manufactured goods. They believed that a market in which they had complete authority to block other imports would be a profitable market. These actions taken by the British were the start of Imperialism. Two countries that were immense economic profits for England were Africa and China. Examining these two countries will demonstrate how i ...

... became divided into two opposed groups: the “hawks,” who believed that the war must be won to prevent the spread of communism, and the “doves,” who believed that America should withdraw from the war to prevent further loss. Scholars discredited the president’s justifications for escalation. The war, they charged, was a civil war between the North and South Vietnamese, and not an effort by Soviet and Chinese communists to expand. Antiwar protests erupted across the nation, concentrated in college campuses. In the April of 1967, more than 300,000 people attended a demonstration in New York City. Later that year more radical demonstrations arose as antiwar rad ...

In 1932, when the League of Nations proposed an economic boycott against Japan for reparation of the occupancy of Manchuria, President Hoover refused to participate, in fear of involvement in an Asian war. Just eight years later, during the Roosevelt administration, th ...

He was one of several northerners supported over the years by southern Democrats for being amenable to slaveholders' interests, a situation originating with Martin van Buren. Buchanan's two major rivals for the nomination, Franklin Pierce and Stephen Douglas, were both politically tainted by the bloodshed in Kansas. Buchanan was untainted, since he had been abroad during most of the controversy. Even so, he did not secure the nomination until the seventeenth ballot. Fremont was best known as an explorer and a war hero. He surveyed the land between the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers ...

... the streets and destroyed the houses of royal officials. On the night of December 16, 1773, three hundred and forty two chests of tea belonging to the East India Company were thrown into the Boston Harbor by American patriots. Patriots disguised themselves as Indians, the event was not secret, supporters cheered from the wharf. Why, given low price for tea, would the colonists be upset by the Tea Act of 1773? The merchants could no longer compete with the low prices offered by the agents of the East India Company. The colonial merchants would be driven out of business. With this threat to their businesses, the colonists reacted swiftly and crowds rioted in the ...
