What Was The Lenoir City

The land around Shelby was superior to any other land in the Delta. The land had the buckshot soil, which was preferred for producing cotton. The land that surrounded Shelby could produce any kind of crop that was planted. Shelby also had the best drainage system in Bolivar County (Kelly, 1917 p. 3). Shelby has a canal that empties into a large stream. Shelby also had one of the best track records when it came to business. Shelby’s history includes bank statements and post office receipts that showed how the businesses grew every year.

James Agee was born in 1909 in Knoxville, Tennessee, but was in the urban middle class, so he had no experience with cotton farming. When

The Northern states had the pleasure of discovering abundant resources of coal. In addition, Richmond faced difficulties because of their existence on the margins of a plantation economy. Even though this was the nation’s first mine, it had various disadvantages that would not let it compete on an industrious scale. In the following paragraph, I will discuss how the South had a secret hand in textile mills within the United States.

Philadelphia, the “City of Brotherly Love”, becomes the setting for a high-profile discrimination case in the movie Philadelphia. A successful lawyer named Andrew “Andy” Beckett (played by Tom Hanks) is fired from his prestigious law firm, because while being given the documents for his next big case, a senior partner at the law firm notices lesions that are a tell-tale sign of the AID’s virus on his face. It becomes up to Andy to defend his title as a successful lawyer against untrue accusations of his ‘incompetence” (or rather, his AID’s virus) and prove that he was unfairly fired. Andy, being the skilled lawyer that he is, manages to successfully make his case with the help of homophobic lawyer Joe Miller. Philadelphia challenges misconceptions about the gay community and the transmittance of AID’s, homophobia and the idea that the gay community and especially the AID’s community need to be kept oppressed, without equal rights and protections, as their straight counterparts.

In 1860 when “the McGavock and Mt. Vernon Horse Railroad Company and the South Nashville Street Railroad Company were chartered and used steam and mules to power rail cars to give Nashville its first taste of public transportation. On April 30, 1889, the McGavock and Mt. Vernon Horse Railroad Company operated the first electric streetcar in Nashville, and the city became one of the first in the nation to have such "modern" transportation.” (History of Transit in Nashville)

In Little River County in Arkansas, United States, there is a small town called Foreman. Forman’s town website explains how Native Americans once said that Willow Springs, the original name of Foreman, was named for the springs that ran through the willow trees that then ran through the lime rock. Then animals would come and drink from the springs resting under the trees. From this they called the land “Rocky Comfort.” It then mentions that by 1850 that Rocky Comfort became a booming community over the next ten years the courthouse, inn, and blacksmith shop began to spread. And then became the County seat by 1868, it would stay there until 1880 when it was later moved to Richmond (History, 1). Now, according to the 2010 USA census the population is at 1011 (Teske 1).

Project: The Middle Tennessee History Coalition (MTHC), in collaboration with the Tennessee State Library and Archives the North Carolina State Library, and the University of North Carolina, proposes a project that will digitize the Colonial and State Records of North Carolina. This is a collection of approximately 9,400 documents that cover a period from European settlement to the founding of the United States and beyond. All twenty-six volumes will be digitized. The colonial records of North Carolina were originally compiled before 1886 by William Saunders, and covered the period between early settlement of the colony and 1776. Saunders was a newspaper editor, lawyer, and ultimately the Secretary of State for North Carolina. Saunders

The Ellenders invested in the Terrebonne Sugar Company and became part owners with Albert Robert (A.R.) and Arthur Camille (A.C.) Viguerie, Charles Champagne, Allen Sanders, F.P. Guidry and others in the mill in Montegut. Unfortunately, all the owners suffered financial losses when the mill failed in the 1920’s.

Like many communities in Tennessee, Briceville's founding was tied to coal mining. Originally known as Slatestone Hollow, early miners used wagons to haul coal to Knoxville until the railroad connected Knoxville and Coal Creek. In 1888, Calvin Brice, who was then the president of the Lake Erie and Western Railroad and would later serve a single term in the U.S. Senate, requested the construction of a spur connecting Slatestone Hollow with Coal Creek. Upon completion of the spur, the community was renamed in Brice's honor. Although the population of Briceville has risen and fallen since the community's founding, residents have never been short of pests. Two common pests found in the area are bed bugs and fleas.

Despair sometimes becomes the basis of inspiration in which we live out our lives. The "City of One: A Memoir" by Francine Cournos is a testament to this notion by basing her desire to study medicine and psychoanalytic as a result of her wanting to understand her mother’s death. "City of One: A Memoir" is a story of triumph and inspiration through the notion that while an individual’s life may be difficult there is always something greater to live for. Francine Cournos life gives insight into how vicious separation within the attachment cycle can be and while early attachment theorists may say one thing about how it can affect the way we function later in life there is always a chance to stand against it.

Lawrence Massachusetts, also known as “Immigrant City” or currently known as “City of the Damned”, is the city that I was born and raised in. This city is filled with many different cultural backgrounds. Different backgrounds that I am greatly proud of being a part of. Being Puerto Rican and being born into a city that is widely populated with Hispanic and Latinos, it is very easy to get caught into the mix of what everyone is doing. Partying, drugs, alcohol, violence, etc., these are the things that Lawrence has came to be. These are the things that you see in the media whenever Lawrence is brought up. This is why they now call Lawrence, “City of the Damned”. But, Lawrence is more than just a “damned” city. It is a place with inspiring and

In the summer of 1830, Kenneth McKenzie (“King of Missouri”) suggested to Pierre Chouteau (Jr., Western agent for John Jacob Astor’s American Fur Company) that a steamboat could transport trade goods and supplies up the Missouri River and carry furs and skins on the return trip. In November of 1830 Chouteau placed an order with two firms in Louisville for the Yellow Stone (Yellow Stone is a side wheeler steamboat was the first steam powered boat to reach above Council Bluffs, Iowa, on the Missouri River).

Antebellum towns including Macon, Milledgeville, Madison, and Greensboro experimented with steam-powered cotton factories, with varying degrees of success. The steam-powered factories in Madison and Greensboro went broke in the 1850s, while those in Milledgeville and Macon survived to serve the Confederacy.

Shortly after the revolutionary war, the small town of Pittsborough, then renamed Pittsburgh began to develop into a very important center, specializing in trading and industry. The convenience of natural resources and technological advancement has ranked Pittsburgh as one of the leading industrial cities in the United States in the past. Historically, the city of Pittsburgh has created numerous manufacturing plants responsible for producing steel, iron, and other products for the U.S. economy that still exist today. The Encyclopedia Britannica explains Pittsburgh's economic might during this period:
