Analysis: The Munitions Maker

Phillips writes that the defining characteristic of a ‘Southerner’ is a feeling of white racial solidarity which casts all other social considerations in the shade; it is the “cardinal test of a Southerner.” When Phillips touches upon the subject of non-slaveholding whites, he emphasizes their zeal for the primacy of white civilization as an end unto itself. He relates two contemporary accounts of non-slaveholders, one a tinner and the other an overseer, to demonstrate this fervor but pointedly devalues their economic attachments to slavery, writing, “Both of them, and a million of their non-slaveholding like, had a still stronger social prompting: the white men’s ways must prevail; the Negroes must be kept innocuous.” Phillips rejects out of hand the sway of overt pecuniary motives against the weight of racial ones and this rejection is so absolute in part because “it is otherwise impossible to account

In 1928 Ulrich B. Phillips wrote an argumentative essay about the reasons for the massive support that slavery received from both slaveowners and Southerners who didn’t possess slaves. The essay was well-received and supported by critics in the 1930-s. However, closer to 1950-s critics started doubting the objectivity of Phillip’s writing. It’s important to note that Ulrich B. Phillips is a white historian from the South, writing from a perspective of a white Southerner. When he was writing his article he failed to step back from his bias and provide fully objective support for the main theme of his argument, setting a doubt to the reliability of his work.

In addition to all of those weapons that were found, there were a lot of artifacts. Since the Levi Jordan Plantation was established in 1848, there are only a few artifacts that aren’t damaged. One of the undamaged artifacts is carved bone that is based on African religious sites across the south. These indicate the status for these four particular slave cabins. They were thought to be the blacksmith, political leader, curer/conjurer, and the carver. The Political Leader was like our mayor or governor and made most of the important decisions. The Curer was probably more based on South African legend than true medical remedies. He was most likely a little bit like our pastor, in that he conveyed religious beliefs to the other enslaved people. The carver worked a little bit with the curer and made him some carvings, but

Although, even before the Indian Massacre of 1622, archeologist were looking for any signs that something was done here. It could be a piece of pottery or even soothing that belong on clothing, something to show that there was occupancy on that particular plot of land. The same could be said for the massacre, where the accounts about the Indians really what archeologist said they were or

The video begins with Mr. Carpenter examining a Remington 870 shotgun with a firing pin that isn't striking the primer. He begins by removing the pins on the weapon, also using a bench block. From there he pulls the trigger grouping out. Immediately you can see build-up of carbon, dirt, and grime. He suspects it being dirty can be leading to the failure to fire He further breaks the gun down, to the assembly. It is caked in with debris. On the underside you can see the firing pin. Inspect it for any damage, and also check if the firing pin is

The men of the tribe built and used the tools. While making the tools and weapons, they followed the specific routine for each object. They drilled, carved, engraved, etc. They built the tools at a place that had an anvil. The activity was done based off the specific tool or weapon because they all don’t have the same building time. The tribe does this activity so they have weapons and tools to gather their food and defend themselves.

Few other American gunmakers have been more dedicated to the age-old and highly accurate style of rifle than the Massachusetts manufacturer. Even fewer gun company's win Savage's kudos for balancing price and performance in nearly everything it rolls off the factory floor. While it has recently expanded into producing more contemporary semi-automatic rifles, its bolt-actions still by and large take center stage. And Savage continues expanding and evolving to fill every niche in the turn-bolt world.

In comparison with the north, southern Italy doesn’t fall behind at all in terms of geographic strengths and natural resources. With its boot-like tip, which can be easily identified on the world map, southern Italy is blessed with its closeness to the sea. The two gate-like islands, Sicily and Sardinia, provide myriad ports and harbors for international trades. More specifically, Sicily is home to a wide variety of fauna and flora, with beautiful geographic sites that attract visitors from all parts of the world. Sardinia, on the other hand, is known for being rich in mineral deposits. Materials such as coal, zinc, graphite and other resources important for industrial purposes can be found on this second largest island in the Mediterranean region. Furthermore, Sardinia is highly suitable for agriculture, which allows the island to harvest a variety of fruits and vegetables that adapt to the Mediterranean climate (Peter Sommer Travels n.d.).

An aspect of human development that perhaps few have investigated, but is arguable what makes humans very special is their ability to kill at a distance through the use of highly sophisticated modern weaponry. The M-1 Garand rifle was used on a massive scale by United States troops both in the European and Pacific theatres of war during World War II. What makes this rifle special is that it was the first of its kind adopted by any nation or country. The M-1 Garand is an example of a modern day semi-automatic rifle. Rifles that continue to fire at high rate are not only formidable weapons, but also they also represents human ability to consistently find ways to develop and innovate ways to kill at a distance and defend themselves. It also represents human ability to develop ways to shoot projectiles at a much faster rate, the ability to exploit and harness elements to create weapons, the ability exchange ideas and technologies through human interaction, and the ability to adopt new methods of warfare as a result of new technology. The evolution of the M-1 Garand can also help us gain insight into the human anatomy and how humans have developed their weapons in order to accommodate the structure of their bodies. Since the beginning of time humans have been trying to develop ways to new and innovative ways to put down stronger, larger animals, as well their enemies more effectively. The evolution of human weaponry from man’s early weapons to

Recoil pad installation on synthetic gunstocks. In this article installing a recoil pad on modern synthetic stocks can be a real demand on your skills. If you take on a job it would be advised to find out what material you’re dealing with. Some synthetic gunstocks are made up of a shell of fiberglass or other material over a less durable filler that wouldn’t even hold a gun screw. Most are made of fiber-filled synthetic polymer or woven fiberglass and carbon fiber. Regardless of the nature of construction, hollow or solid, we are dealing with materials like fiberglass, graphite, resin, and the like, sometimes finished with some pretty fancy paint styles. It would behoove anyone to first try to determine the makeup of the gunstock and how the pad to

House structure were conical, partially subterranean, and thatched with reeds, brush, or bark. Ramadas were rectangular-shaped and generally used to protect workplaces for domestic chores, including cooking. Ceremonial sweathouses, which were important in purification rituals, were round, partially subterranean thatched structures covered with a layer of mud. Another ceremonial structure was the wamkis, which was located in the center of the village, used as the place for rituals, including the sand painting associated with the Chingichngish cult (Bean and Shipek 1978; Kroeber 1925).

The chamber pot was an object that was frequently excavated but historians were unsure of its purpose. It was too large to be used as a drinking cup. Due to diary entries, historians inferred that chamber pots were used as some kind of toilet for when it was too cold to go to an outhouse. The use of chamber pots gives us insight on the harsh living conditions of the past and how brutal their winters must have been like.

Derived from the French word ‘la munition’, ammunition was initially used to describe all material that used for war. Overtime, it came to refer specifically to gunpowder and artillery. Ammunition in the society is seen to refer to bullets and magazines that are used in guns and other weapons. There are several types of ammunitions that are used in war and a collective term for all these types of ammunitions is munitions. Munitions can refer to anything that is used in combat, from bombs and missiles mines and warheads. Munitions are used for the basic purpose of powering weapons and projecting force to a target. Ammunitions are essential for weapons to function, as without them weapons would render useless. Armies all around the world use ammunitions intensively, be it for training purposes or for defending their interests and safety. With such intensive use, they would require a lot of ammunition and a space to store it.
