Good Afternoon ladies and gentlemen. Today, my first topic is about the Louisiana Purchase, which many forget is a significant event in our history. It is us job to remind people of the importance through our new book. Stretching from the Mississippi River to the Rocky Mountains and from the Gulf of Mexico to Canada, the Louisiana Purchase covered 828,000 square miles of fertile land. As a result of the additional rural land, the Louisiana Purchase led to an encouraged production of staple goods for international market, rather than subsistence goods, contributing towards profit in the economy. "As the Purchase opened the Mississippi to commerce, subsistence farming in the southern reaches of the valley began to be replaced by staple production
While the book is not a traditional, academic history text, academics seem to have almost universally agreed as to where it fits in the historiography of the Louisiana Purchase. Almost without fail, those who reviewed A Wilderness so Immense claimed that Kukla’s book “supplants” Alexander DeConde’s 1976 landmark book This Affair of Louisiana (Brands 846, Bernstein 411). DeConde’s work was groundbreaking because it argued that
Brothers, sisters, fellow members of reform, I, Antoine Aime Dorion would like to share my opinion on a rather controversial event. Our culture is rich, the land is plentiful and we have worked tirelessly to gain what we currently have. However, the abomination you all know by the name of confederation plots to rob us of these great gifts!
In looking at the economic and geographic effects that the Louisiana Purchase made, I will try to answer the following research question: During Thomas Jefferson’s presidency, how did the Louisiana Purchase lead to Manifest Destiny for the United States?
The Purchase of Louisiana posed several important moral dilemmas for American President Thomas Jefferson; among these were the means of achieving Republican government states’ rights and strict constructionism which he relented. Constructionist and a strong supporter of states ' rights and, therefore, the action of purchasing Louisiana presented a moral dilemma, he was either to stick to his principle or compromise and save the Republican government. President Jefferson believed following the principles of constructionism and the rights of the constitution, therefore acquiring Louisiana land made him unable to decide whether to uphold the principles compromise (Balleck).

“What! No! Why!?” Without a doubt, these words have been exalted by many candidates during the competitive transfer process at UW-Madison. Although I was denied transfer admission, I cannot but respect the decision I was given. However, I believe that UW-Madison has not seen the full extent of me. I would like to provide this letter with additional merit to display that I am stronger than earlier evidenced in my Fall of 2016 application.
“Without the discovery of Gold Victoria would not be the place that it has become today.” I believe this statement is true, without the Gold Rush, Australia wouldn’t be nearly as established as it is now. The Gold Rush in Victoria caused mass colonisation and population growth, and it made Australia the diverse and multi-skilled society.
My topic is the Louisiana Purchase and why people wanted Louisiana, the hardships of getting the area for the USA, and what happened after the purchase. The Louisiana Purchase was a monumental change to the United States Of America, but there were struggles that you might not have known about.
The Louisiana Purchase is the biggest exchange of land in history. Jefferson’s acquisition of this big piece of land doubled the United States’ size for 15 million dollars.

As the United States started to expand, gaining alliance with the most powerful forces on the planet, business and influence started to flourish. New Orleans became the most diverse place in the country both socially and politically.
One of the most obvious themes throughout the Scarlet Letter, is alienation. Alienation can be forced or chosen but always changes you. Alienation was shown mainly in three characters throughout the book, Hester Prynne, Pearl, and Dimmesdale. Hester Prynne is alienated many times throughout this book At the very beginning of the book we learn that Hester Prynne has been alienated by her husband, Roger Chillingworth, who has sent her off to live on her own in the new world. Although Chillingworth says he will come back to be with her it takes longer than expected.
The third major event on the United States is the Declaration of Independence. The Declaration of Independence was written by Thomas Jefferson. Is one of the most important documents ever wrote it, was a document that gave hope to people that someday everyone would be free. The Preamble contains probably the most famous lines of the Declaration of why independence was necessary for example “we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.” (Boyer 159). The Preamble states that there are certain rights that government should never violate. If the government were to take away these rights, the governed have just cause to overthrow or separate themselves from that government. The thought that people had a right to overthrow
I am writing to inform you about reconsidering the removal of American Indians from their homelands. This removal could cause multiple problems between the United States and the Indians. A harmful war can occur between the nations and could kill innocent lives. The Indians love their lands and it’s not easy for them to leave due to the fact that the land traces back for two hundred years. For the past years, the Indians lived their lives with happiness where it was full of a quiet and undisturbed ease. You said “we must be sensible that it will be impossible for us to remain, for any length of time, in our present situation, as a distinct society or nation, within the limits of Georgia, or of any other State; and that such a community is incompatible
According to Ronnie Cummings of In Motion Magazine, after several dozen consumers in Colorado were poisoned by E-coli feces in their burgers, 25 million pounds of hamburger meat had to be recalled from the Hudson Foods Corporation. Much of the E. coli found in meat appears to be a product of feedlot life of cattle getting a feedlot diet and living in their own manure. The feedlot lifestyle is a common practice of corporate manufactured meat.
