Pros And Cons Of Alabama

The American Civil War started in 1861 and ended in 1865. The two sides of the war are the Union (North) and Confederacy (South). The South wanted to keep slavery to maintain their economy and they worried that the North would end slavery. The South then seceded, starting the conflict. Around 620,000 people died in the war. Both sides of the war had advantages and disadvantages in the Civil War. Population in the South was small because it was based around farming communities, putting them at a disadvantage because they had fewer people to make up their army. On the other hand, they had great generals and a lot of morale. Meanwhile, the North’s large

The United States of America has many different landscapes, weather, and landmarks according to the area they are located. Although, Florida and Alabama are fairly close together and have many similarities, they have vast differences as well. There is just something about the Florida sun and weather that pulls me in. The atmosphere in Alabama is much different than the atmosphere in Florida. The people, the places, the sunshine, and the water are all different, but yet somewhat the same. The activities vary along with the landscape and nature.

Was the Georgia colony a success or failure? While the colony of Georgia was successful in defense however; charity and economy were a disappointment. In 1732 King George 2 granted a charter by giving named trustees permission to establish the Georgia Colony. Until 1752 the Georgia Colony had seen both dark and light moments; some of which include the construction of the settlement, the establishment of Fort Frederica, as well as declaring war on Spain. The corporation was made to be a charitable body, so none of the trustees could receive or buy land of their own. Also Because of the small amount of land everyone on the new settlement received there were several complaints about going into poverty and not having enough slaves or workers to help establish the colony. James Oglethorpe and 20 other trustees finally decided that they would do whatever it took to make the colony a utopian city.

Alabama is one of seven states that does not have a lottery system. Because of this, Alabama is missing out on millions of dollars per year. In fact, lottery systems generated $65.5 billion dollars in 2012, twenty-five of which goes directly to state funded projects (Isidore). That is an average of over a billion and a half dollars in revenue per state per year. If Alabama did approve a lottery system, the money it generated would go to education and healthcare. Alabama ranks forty-fifth and forty-sixth in these two areas respectively out of fifty states.

Growing up in the rural south not having the same options of the upper class left me working on the plantations. Roaming around to find to work to support myself I occasionally found work during the harvesting seasons. My father lost our families land and the little comfort we had a decade earlier. The struggle to provide for myself led me to the ditches and mining. These jobs were more dangerous than working in the fields on the farm. Before the nomadic life of running all over the South finding odd jobs I worked near the slaves. My life was rough not having anything to go back to, but they had it far worse. In a way it’s selfish for me to complain about the way I’m living when it’s harder to survive enslavement. Working beside the sick and bruised people it is

The concept of the lottery is the same throughout every state, people have money and are interested in “playing the odds”; the revenue from these people is then divided and used to benefit organizations of the state’s choice. Exactly where the money goes to is what differs from state to state. Some states put all the revenue from the lottery into one trust fund that is allocated for a more broad and generalized group. Other states target specific programs such as, preserving natural parks or assisting the educational system with additional funds. The State of Alabama does not have a lottery and its locals are the ones missing out. Due to the lack of the lottery in Alabama, those who choose to play the lottery must travel out of the state, which means their money goes to other state’s lotteries benefiting that states programs and ultimately its residents. By keeping the peoples money in the state a lottery will open an endless amount of opportunities to better state supported programs and the state as a whole.

The lottery offers a wonderful opportunity to possibly win millions of dollars. While this might seems amazing, it might not be as wonderful as imagined. In fact, maybe even the opposite might true as stated by numerous studies and research done since the 1970s.

Until this day, the American Civil War is still one of the most prominent wars that was ever fought in America. The war was first caused by the disagreement between the Federalists and Anti-federalists regarding on how the United States should be governed. Soon, the war began and gunshots exploded the country everyday. The war continued on for several years and in 1865, the war finally ended and America was already torn into pieces. Following the war, the Congressmen had to recover from its loss and settle the disagreements that existed in Congress in order to prevent another war from happening. Therefore, the Thirteen, Fourteen, and Fifteenth Amendments, also known as the Reconstruction Amendments were passed as an attempt to achieve peace

In the first place, The Lottery and The Hunger Games both share the theme of tradition. The lotteries in both stories are annual traditions and have been going on for over seventy years. We know this because Jackson writes “Chips of wood, Mr. Summers had argued. had been all very well when the village was tiny, but now that the population was more than three hundred and likely to keep on growing, it was necessary to use something that would fit more easily into the black box.” In The Hunger Games Collins writes “Ladies and gentlemen, let the seventy-fourth Hunger Games begin – and may the odds be ever in your favor!” Both of these statements tell us that in both stories that these drawings are traditions, and have been going on for a long time. These traditions are both similar, but one difference is that in The Hunger Games they choose twenty kids who fight to the death, and in The Lottery, they only chose one person to stone to death. These traditions are both quite grim traditions should be stopped.

The Texas Lottery negatively impacts the people that play the lottery and the programs that are supposed to benefit from the proceeds. Because of the big dream of winning, the lottery has taken a toll on Texans. “People believe that the Texas Lottery is their only chance to strike it rich” (Buckland, 2010). There is not near enough money going towards the Texas Education

Getting rid of the lottery would be beneficial for the town so why want to keep

The Texas Lottery Commission is a fairly new entity in Texas that was established only 25 years ago. In history, Texas is known for its conservative values and policies, disregarding immoral practices such as gambling. In 1991, the Texas Legislature introduced an idea that could help change how Texas creates revenue to fund Texas education. The idea introduced was the establishment of a state Lottery, a form of gambling. Representatives introduced House Bill 54 to the House to establish a lottery system. It is later decided that Texans must vote to approve this new lottery. The citizens of Texas voted on this bill and the bill passed by a two-to-one margin. House Bill 54 is known at the Lottery Act of 1991. With the creation of the statewide

Throughout the history of the State of Alabama, there have been six different constitutions adopted, beginning in 1819. By the end of 1865 the State of Alabama was on its third constitution; however, the only piece of the constitution that had changed was the wording of the preamble, which provided the justification for establishing the constitution. The circumstances around the establishment of the different constitutions varied considerably, being that the 1819 Constitution created the state of Alabama, while the 1865 Constitution brought the state of Alabama back into the United States after the Civil War. Constitutionalism in the 19th century differed significantly from that of the 1770’s in that the lengthy preambles had disappeared replaced

During the American Civil War, the Union was successful because of their numerous factories, population, and transportation. The Confederate was unsuccessful because of their economic failures. They started out strong and failed during the war during The Civil War. They could really only make cotton. The Union came up with a plan called the Anaconda Plan to shut down the Confederate economically and it worked. This plan was an idea to make the Confederate crumble economically. They used their navy to surround there harbors and the Mississippi to stop any imports or exports to the Confederate. The Union had more factories than the Confederate allowing them to be able to produce goods way faster. This also allowed them to make guns, clothing, and railroads. The union had more people fighting in the war giving them more troops to fight in battles, and all of the troops had supplies thanks to their numerous factories. The Unionerners had better transportation than the Confederate giving them the ability to travel through the country faster. This also allowed them to transport goods faster. The Union and the Confederate both had their strengths and weaknesses but at the end of the war the Union showed that they were stronger than the Confederate.

Only when we are introduced to Old Man Warner, the only man in the village old enough to remember some of the traditions, do we get an idea of the purpose of the lottery. It seems to be a pagan harvest ritual, as expressed by his old saying: ??Lottery in June, corn be heavy soon?? (Jackson 369). By participating in the lottery the villages crops will prove to be bountiful. He justifies the use of the lottery simply by stating ?There?s always been a lottery? (Jackson 369).
