Varied native groups arrived in Florida during the late eighteenth century and eventually formed a common group identity. By the start of the second Spanish occupation (1783), many Creeks, pushed out of homelands to the north by White settlers, moved to Florida. Although other Indians previously inhabited the peninsula, European diseases, wars, and the immigration of southeastern Indians devastated the aboriginal population. Those few who survived, for the most part, assimilated with other Indians
It would appear that collaboration between Matt Damon & director Ridley Scott is – well, out of this world, as The Martian peaked the interest of moviegoers over the weekend. With a stellar debut of $55 million, The Martian was free to float to the top of the box office mountain – essentially uncontested. The Mars-based odyssey marks the first big screen appearance by Matt Damon since last year’s Christopher Nolan space-epic, Interstellar – which debut slightly below The Martian with $47.5 million
Immigration is necessary for refugees to escape the dangers of their country; however, the U.S. must set restrictions through a legalization process and consider the effects on natural citizens. While immigrants may be seen as job burglars, it should be noted that they provide immensely to our society. Immigrants are diligent workers, in fact they “contribute $10 billion a year to this country’s economic growth” (The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights). They will work for less than
Anna Gristina, the “Soccer Mom Madam,” also ran a multi-million dollar Manhattan escort agency. She was meeting with a senior VP of Morgan Stanley, reportedly discussing how to expand her online business, when the cops barged in. This was the culmination of a five year investigation, all while during the height of the financial crisis! She forfeited millions of dollars and just like Kristin Davis she too served four months at Rikers Island in 2012. A few other escort agencies have been shut down
Campuses Turn Into a Shooting Area In February 2014, Idaho State was considering to allow carrying guns on university campuses. This argument was drawing local citizens’ attention for a long time. The opinions were separated between supporters and opposers. Greg Hampikian was not a big fan of allowing guns on campus. Guns on campus are most likely to be approved by the state House of Representatives. Professor Greg Hampikian is a Biology professor in Boise State University (BSU). During that time
Reinstating the Draft “The soldier is the Army. No army is better than its soldiers. The Soldier is also a citizen. In fact, the highest obligation and privilege of citizenship is that of bearing arms for one’s country” This quote, said by George S. Patton Jr., explains how important our military soldiers are to this county, the United States of America. There is a long, traditional history behind the men that fought for our country. Some were courageous and volunteered, but some were forced to
In the book Fahrenheit 451, Beatty gives Montag a speech about things we have now that we didn’t always have. He tells about how they increased the number of people watching television and listening to the radio. Back then they didn’t have television like we do today. It was on a box TV and only got a few channels. Now days we get home from school and sit down and watch TV. This brings me to another part of his speech. Beatty said that school was shortened. Maybe that’s because they got rid of books
As part of the first and second triumvirate and the General of one of the best armies, Mark Antony certainly left his mark on the world with a legacy in the military and with women, including the Egyptian Queen Cleopatra. Born on January 14, 83 BC, Marcus Antonius was certainly a “troublesome and mischievous child who ran to Greece in 58 BC” (Bio A&E 1) Whilst he was in Greece he “took place in military campaigns” where he performed well after which he returned to Rome to take place as General
Hailey Welchans Ms. Wolfe English 2 Pd 4 20 November 2014 Women in Combat Thousands of Americans go into one of the five branches of the military each year.

Yet, the things that women can do in the military are very restricted. Women should
I first met the accused mentally insane stone cold killer ,John Doe, after he was done recovering in the hospital from his ordeal. Ladies and gentlemen, I got the real story from the eyes of the killer himself, John Doe. His defense attorney is trying to convince you all that at the time of the murder, John Doe was legally insane. Yet keep in mind that legal insanity is defined as: at the time of the crime the killer couldn’t tell right from wrong, couldn’t distinguish fantasy from reality and
