Minute 319 is an amendment to the 1944 treaty between the United States and Mexico that regulates the Colorado River. The amendment was made possible thanks to the efforts of non-governmental organizations (NGOs). Minute 319 was implemented as a humanitarian

Ben Franklin was a very curious and inventive thinker. He kept thinking about different ways to experiment with electricity so he came up with an experiment with only a few materials (wire,mobile kite, handkerchief,and two sticks).(”Benjamin Franklin and Electricity”) Franklin

Anson Jones was an important part of the annexation of Texas. Without the help of Anson, it wouldn’t have been possible for Texas to be annexed to the U.S.

Prior to the discovery of the electrical telegraph, information and ideas were transmitted via boats, horses, and trains. Soon enough scientists realized the ease of constructing an electrical telegraph, this led to two working systems one created by William Cooke from England and the other one by Samuel Morse from the United States. Morse’s rendition of the system came to be known as the Morse Code System, which was a series of dots and lines that represented letters. Despite the hard work of the scientists, the government did not think much of their inventions and denied any support for their projects. After much convincing, the Congress granted Morse $30,000 to make improvements to his model, which he did. Even after his impressive presentation, people undermined the true value of the potential of electronic telegraphing. Meanwhile, in Britain the impact of the new telegraph was brought forth as it announced the birth of Queen Victoria’s second son. Regardless of the hard efforts of Cooke and Morse (along with other contributors), the government and public still

Most of us associate the name John Hancock with giving your signature, but in truth, the name John Hancock means much more to the founding and directing of this country.

From starting a gunpowder mill to developing a hospital for sick children .Alfred I.DuPont and the DuPont family have influenced and affected Delaware in many different ways.

Sir Isaac Newton, an astronomer, mathematician, and a scientist is described to be "one of the greatest names in history of human thought.”  According to biography.com, Newton was born on December 25, 1642 in Woolsthorpe, Lincolnshire, England, and was interested in creating mechanic toys as a young boy (2016). He even invented an impressive, small windmill, which would grind wheat and corn, at a young age. Newton explored beyond the secrets of light and color, found gravity, and even discovered a new form of mathematics, called calculus. It was Newton who had explained why a rock is heavier than a pebble, and how earth's gravity could hold the moon in its orbit. Isaac Newton’s discoveries proved him

Jonathan Winthrop was elected governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony even before they set sail to New England. He along with a thousand of his fellow Puritans set sail and Winthrop had a twist to the normal way things were done. He actually had the Massachusetts Bay Colony with him. This would give this group freedom from any members of the Massachusetts Bay Company that remained in England.

Thomas Beck and all of Long Beach had been plagued by a local nuisance known as Lew-Is-the-Light for several years. When Tarrytown on the Pike burned, Lew-Is was on the street early the next morning peddling his little letters saying the fire was a judgment from the Lord because Lew-Is had not been paid his rightful tithes. Daily this self-styled Jesus sent newspapers mental wanderings boasting of his supernatural powers. But things got out of hand when Thomas Beck had an epileptic seizure following receipt of a tithe demand from Lew-Is. Beck had received several letters from Lew-Is suggesting Beck pay him tithes in order to improve his health. Beck ignored the letters until he received the following:

In 1994, 5 year old Eric Morse fell 14 stories from being thrown by two boys, Johnny and Tyrone. The two boys were 10 and 11, and they threw Eric out of an apartment window because he would not steal a piece of candy. Eric Morse, at five years of age, knew right from wrong. This shows that at age 10 and 11, as Johnny and Tyrone were, that they must have known what was right. They knew that what they were doing was wrong, therefore Johnny and Tyrone are to blame for the death of Eric Morse.

Samuel Insull was born on November 11th, 1859 in London, England. According to PBS sources, in 1881 at age twenty two, he decided to migrate to America to create a better living for himself. After working a variety of jobs in the United States, Samuel Insull was granted the opportunity to work as Thomas Edison’s private secretary. During 1892, in Schenectady, New York Thomas Edison established the General Electric Company where Samuel Insull was allowed the opportunity to be vice president of General Electric Company before having to relocate to Chicago. After relocating to Chicago in 1895, Insull became president at the Chicago Edison Company which was an electrical power system that supported Illinois and neighboring states. (Insull, 2014) During the 1920s, Insull build his dominion producing 2.5 billion of the total of electric power. In the 1930s, his company went bankrupt during the Great Depression Samuel Insull was tried with fraud, violation of federal bankruptcy laws, and embezzlement.

Thomas Cole, born on February 1, 1801 in Lancashire, England, found himself at fourteen working as a textile printer and wood engraver in Philadelphia Pennsylvania. Cole returned to his parents in 1819 in Ohio; this is were he learned how to

Isaac Newton was a scientific genius who helped the world understand many concepts. Isaac Newton is probably most famous for his discovery of the laws of motion which describe gravity for the first time. The laws of motion also described the force of an object depended on two things, mass and acceleration. With Newton’s help the modern world has been able to innovate and invent many things some that during Newton’s time was thought of as impossible. Isaac Newton was a scientific genius who was the first to describe gravity, he wrote three laws of motion, and finally helped modernize the world with the understanding of gravity.
