On September 15th, 2001 four days after the 9/11 terrorist attacks in New York City, a lawless arson of a Hindu temple and vandalism of a Mosque took place in Hamilton (The Hamilton Spectator 2014). According to The Hamilton Spectator (2014), it was during the early hours of September 15th, 2001 when three men, Christopher Pollard, Scott Ryan, and Damien Marsh drove to a Muslim mosque than a Hindu temple in Hamilton where they destroyed both places of worship (The Hamilton Spectator 2014). It was Pollard’s 21st birthday as the men were reported celebrating at various bars and were seemingly intoxicated (The Hamilton Spectator 2014). The three men drove to the Hamilton Mountain Mosque on Stone Church where they continued to drink (The Hamilton …show more content…
The first aspect, is that the Mosque vandalism and temple fire occurred four days after the 9/11 attack in the United States. The attack in the United States was an act of terrorism and many pinned the blame on the Muslim community for the many lives that were lost. Therefore, given the fact that Hamilton has the second highest rate of hate crimes against minority groups, it is likely that the fire and vandalism were a response to the 9/11 attack as both places that were targeted were sacred to minority groups. In addition, the perpetrators actions along with the places they targeted conveys the message of “you do not belong here”, as the literal burning of the temple eradicates its existence within society. The second aspect that plays a vital role in this case, is that two places of worship were targeted. The first being a Muslim Mosque and than a Hindu Temple. The fact that the perpetrators could have confused the temple to be a mosque illustrates that the three men were trying to target a specific group. Additionally, it is important to note that the men had to drive from the mosque to the temple, thus indicating that they had a certain motive in mind. Furthermore, the fact that the men targeted two religious institutions illustrates that they were trying to hurt minority groups where they are the most vulnerable the most, a place that is sacred to them. The third aspect that is vital to this case is that the perpetrators left beer bottles behind. It is because of these beer bottles that helped the police capture the correct culprits. If the DNA on the beer bottles were not present these three men would have never been captured. The fourth aspect of this case that I believe is important, is that the Hindu community forgave the three men. The fact that the Hindu community could forgive the men that destroyed their place of worship illustrates the
The parts of Hamilton’s financial plan include: Report of Public Debt; the U.S. pays debts to foreign countries through war bonds. Assumption of State Debt; in the South, mainly wanted to pay off state debt with federal governments money. The National Bank; would control state banks’ policies & store federal governments money. Income of the New Country or Taxes; put taxes on whiskey and tariffs on foreign
From the start of creating this treaty the founding fathers were greatly split into two camps. The Federalist led by Hamilton were seen as pro-British supporters and the antifederalist were being led by Thomas Jefferson. (Milestones: 1784–1800 - Office of the Historian) This treaty was increasingly becoming a partisan issue that was plaguing our young nation. Though the Federalist were being considered pro-British Jay himself a Huguenot was not completely pro-British. As Combs says, “Yet Jay’s dislike of France did not make him pro-British at this time. His attempts to mold an anti-British alliance with Spain is ample evidence of that” (Combs 18) He was not completely pro-British though many were making him out to be. The founding fathers had
Hamilton emphasizes the necessities for balancing the power among the branches by claiming the two points that are important to implement.
Hamilton died and everyone remembered him as “i’m just like my country young, scrappy, and hungry, i’m not throwing away my shot.” Hamilton was a good man, he helped the world a lot with his presidency . He was an influence to many people.
I, a wealthy merchant of Philadelphia, import and export goods and receive lots of money in which I currently have to keep in a state bank. Keeping my money in a place like that is not safe. If there was a larger bank that I could keep my money without fear, I would chose to keep my money there. Also, a larger bank would have a larger pool of money. This benefits me because the larger pool of money there is, the larger amount of money I can make. If Hamilton argues for this type of bank, I will certainly vote for him because his plan interests and benefits me. However if Jefferson proposes that there will be no safety represented in this style of bank, my vote may change to him.
To die a tragic death by the hand of another man- to carve ones way through destiny and shape one's future from the humblest of beginnings- to forge a legacy by a medium only those heralded as our countries "Forefathers" have per chanced to meddle with- these are the makings and the foundations for which great men and the dreams of our country rely upon.
Alexander Hamilton carried the labels, illegitimate child, immigrant, and orphan. Unlike most people, he let this motivate him to rise above his given life. He had to make a name for himself. To receive the credit another man was given, he had to work ten times harder. He was also in the right place to do this, America during a revolution. The revolution inspired change and more acceptance. Hamilton’s ideas for a new form of government were accepted because of how desperately they were needed. To get his ideas across he made friends with other hard workers and revolutionary men. George Washington, the first President had more influence on Hamilton’s life. He gave Hamilton a role in the new country, securing his place in American history.
In the Douglas A. Irwin's article about Hamilton's Report of Manufactures he mentions many issues that arose from the report. Irwin makes his report clear about the fact that Hamilton's report never made fruition until separated and debated in future times. His report focuses on "the reception and immediate legislative impact of the report", the debate "for bounties on cod fisheries and additional revenue proposals involving tariffs", and the shift of "manufacturing interests away from Federalists as the Republican policy of reciprocity offered the hope of greater relief from foreign competition than Hamilton's revenue-base" (Irwin, 2004). This is the author's main goal with his writing.
Hamilton felt that instead of having a state government, the political power should all go to the national government. He believed that being one with union and not having any states at all would be best for the country. He wanted to get rid of state rights and the states itself but he knew would never happen due to the amount of people who would oppose to that. Hamilton stated that the best government system is monarchy and wanted to lean towards that with his statement. So, he wrote a proposal stating that most of the power should go to the national government but still allow the states to still obtain some of their rights. That’s why he thought that the new Constitution was needed.
“How does a bastard, orphan, son of a whore, and a scotsman, dropped in the middle of a forgotten spot in the Caribbean by providence impoverished, in squalor, grow up to be a hero and a scholar?... How does the bastard, orphan, immigrant, decorated war vet, unite the colonies through more debt? Fight the other founding fathers ‘til he has to forfeit?” Given that I can’t do my history final project on Alexander Hamilton, I guess we will never know. However, if given the opportunity, my project would answer the previous questions (and so many more)!
Manhattan. September 11, 2001. Until this day the eleventh of september had always been a regular day, a usual day, a safe day. It was a beautiful Tuesday morning when thousands of workers had begun to make their way to the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and Washington DC. Eager tourists and home sick patrons made their way to the airport and catch planes California bound. What they don’t know is that 19 hijackers from the terrorist group, Al Qaeda have also scrambled their way to the planes. What happened then would change American way of life forever.
September 11, 2001 memorial is an unforgettable event that hitted New York city dramatically 15 years ago. The attacked of 911 were four terrorist suicide that happened the same day in United states.

On Friday at approximately 4:30 p.m., two Muslim women were sitting on a Metropolitan Area Express train in Portland, one of whom was wearing a hijab. A man, identified as Jeremy Joseph Christian, approached the women and began to harass them with what the Portland police described during a press conference as "hate speech." When two men attempted to diffuse the situation and calm Christian down, he stabbed
This was a very hard decision to make, Randolph, Wilson, Mason, Morris, and Hamilton all had an idea of how long a president should serve. They all liked their own ideas of course so they took this question to the higher ups and they decided to make the president server for 4 yrs and then can be re elected once more. The delegates decided that Representatives would be elected by the people, and that the Senators would be elected by the state legislatures. Well the delegates voted for the Constitution to allow the states to count 3/5ths of their population of slaves towards their total population for purpose of representation and taxation. Congress would come to the agreement that they would not have the power to ban importation of slaves.
Pursuing this further, Hamilton’s outspoken nature makes it more telling when he does not speak than when he does. Despite Hamilton's role in the affair, Miranda chooses to frame it in an uncharacteristic way, inaction. The affair's context is Hamilton being passive, “Lord, show me how to say no to this/ I don’t know how to say no to this.” This conveys his current mindset. Having him justify this in a way which is so contrary to his normal speech patterns suggests the strangeness of the event. Also, Hamilton is asking for agency from some higher being. Hamilton is always the one to act within his own life, so the fact he is begging for agency to be bestowed upon him testifies to his deep feeling of helplessness. When considered with his epiphany
