Galloway had chosen to be a loyalist but when he did he was declaring his home as his opposition. Joseph Galloway was a true American that had the potential to play a large part in the future democracy due to his past as a lawyer, as an elected official, and a close relationship with Benjamin Franklin, which were all shown through his appearances in Philadelphia’s Supreme Court, his elected position as Speaker in a provincial assembly, and his correspondence with Franklin.

He installed a policy of rigid discipline, strengthened defenses, and encouraged farming with his order that all must work or face starvation.

Smith ordered the repair of many buildings and the expansion of the fort into a five-sided structure, which archaeologists have also traced. Smith also led the first English explorations of the Chesapeake Bay and was almost killed by a ray on the first of the two expeditions. Smith’s strong leadership helped the colony survive and grow but also made him enemies within the fort. When he was sleeping in a boat in the river on night, Smith was badly injured from a gunpowder explosion. Smith went back to England to get treated in October 1609 and he never made it back to

The fact that victim was black caused such a massive outrage in the St. Louis city. Would the city respond the same however if the victim was white? It turns out no. In Fresno California unarmed Dylan Noble was shot by police. Officers had received a report of a man carrying a rifle but really just found noble speeding in his pickup truck. When he was pulled over at a gas station Noble got out of the truck and was acting suspicious.

In fact, Simpson, as the president of Raybestos-Manhattan, refused to have articles published anything about “asbestos.” He is acting unethical in society and harming his employees for thinking only about maximizing shareholders wealth.
