2. Essay on Geometry in Gothic Architecture
Introduction The 12th Century saw the move away from the Romanesque
architecture which had typified the preceding centuries to the era of the great
Gothic cathedrals which were to become the architectural symbol of the middle
ages. The transformation was not simply one of size or scope but a manifestation
of the cultural shifts which were occurring as the medieval age commenced. By this
time, numbers and geometry had acquired a metaphysical significance and were
believed to have occult symbolism and power. The introduction of sacred geometry
into all aspects of the design of places of worship was therefore inevitable and from
that time key design features such as the numbers of pillars in the choir, the layout of
the floor plan and... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

Scholasticism, or the attempt to infuse contemporary and emerging values into the
accumulation of previous knowledge is also in clear evidence in Chartres which
contains many statues and artefacts of the Greek and other ages . Statues including
those of Aristotle, Pythagoras and Donatus each of whom were great scholars of a
long gone age are to be found. A clear illustrating of long standing influence on
Gothic principles. Political stability as a result of the rapport between the Pope and
Kings of France removed the requirement for fortification of religious buildings
with the result that cathedrals became city buildings as opposed to being
established in rural and remote locations. Economic prosperity was also returning as
a result of technological advance and in Chartres in particular the regional
agricultural led economic revival was driving population growth and prosperity in
general. Characteristics of the Gothic Cathedral As a result the great churches in the
cities became symbols of the new age. This was the end of a period of architectural
experimentation. The building of Chartres was preceded by an extended period of
experimentation, characterised by a mixture of ogival arches, flying buttresses and
triforia. The completion of Chartres represented the time when a template came
together, a harmony was established which would represent
3. Racial Tension And Civil Unrest
As diverse as the city of Los Angeles is, it has a history of racial tension and civil
unrest. From 1910, the start of the Mexican Revolution and World War I when
President Theodore Roosevelt instituted the brown scare (Coerver, 2001), to 1913,
when the California Alien Land Act prohibited Japanese immigrants and citizens of
Japanese descent from owning land in California, to 1934, when 3000 Chinese
immigrants were displaced to make way for Union Station, to 1942, when 110,000
Japanese Americans were forced into internment camps, Los Angeles has historically
been the center of racial controversy and tension ( Year by Year, 1999). In 1943, Los
Angeles was also full of young African Americans and Mexican Americans trying to
protest the racism in the American culture by expressing themselves with their own
music, clothing, culture, and style (Cosgrove, 1985). By the time of the Sleepy
Lagoon murder in 1942, the stage had been set for the Zoot SuitRiots that occurred in
June 1943. Although the riots only lasted ten days, the ramifications ranged from
cultural repression on the part of many Mexican Americanfamilies, to political
activism on the part of others, and the beginning of reform within the Los Angeles
Police Department.
In 1910, Mexico entered into a revolution; shortly thereafter the United States
entered World War I. About this time President Theodore Roosevelt started talking
about a brown scare ; profiling Mexican Americans as possible trouble makers
4. A comparison of Augustinian Theodicy and Irenaean
Theodicy
The problem of evil is a significant and enduring philosophical and theological
debate. A question is often raised and discussed: if God is both all loving and all
powerful, then how can evils including natural evil and moral evil exist in our
world? In response to the charge that the evils of the world are incompatible with God
s omnipotence and perfect goodness, the word theodicyis coined to deal with the
problem of evil. Usually it is an attempt to show that it is possible to affirm the
omnipotence of God, the love of God, and the reality of evil without contradiction.
Two of the most well known and most frequently discussed theodicies are the
Augustinian theodicy and the Irenaean theodicy.
The Augustinian theodicy was constructed ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net
...
God had to allow the possibility of evil, because if there were no such possibility man
would not be free to choose good over evil. If there were no evil and suffering
humans would always follow God s law because there would be no difficulties in
doing so. The evils in this world are required by a God of love who seeks the
development of his free creatures from their original innocence into fully mature
spiritual beings. In other words, we human beings learn to be morally mature
enough to grow closer to God. Evil can lead us to the final goodness and perfection.
In this regard, God is partly responsible for the evil in the world.
Second, Augustine sticks close to the biblical text, whereas Irenaeus ties his theory
less to the biblical text. As the more authentically biblical view, the Augustinian
theodicy is based on the Bible and does not contradict the scriptures; it follows the
traditional Christian interpretation of the creation story in the Genesis: God creates
the world perfectly in six days, Adam and Eve the ancestors of human beings live
in the Garden of Eden happily, until one day Eve is tempted by a serpent and eats
the forbidden fruits and is finally driven out of the Paradise. By eating the fruit of
the tree of the knowledge of good and evil Eve commits the first sin. Augustine s
theodicy could be seen as consistent

down on black people. According to her, the language was first utilized by white
Southern politicians and law enforcement officials to generate and galvanize white
opposition to the Civil Rights Movement in the 1950s. But why the need to use

In 1954, the Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court ruling outlawed legal
segregation in public schools. This decision by the highest court was followed by
direct action and peaceful protests by civil rights activists such as Martin Luther
King Jr. who marched, walked, and sat to force the reluctant South to desegregate
public facilities. Southern governors, law enforcement, and whites felt that the
privileges they have enjoyed for centuries were threatened and sought to characterize
the activities of anti segregation protestors as criminal. A part of their argument was
that the ongoing civil rights movement stems from a breakdown in the respect for
and abidance to the law of the land and that equality for blacks would lead to

These camps were set up along railroad lines so that the prisoners would be
conveniently close to their destination. Unfortunately, many prisoners didn t even
survive the train ride to the camps. Herded like cattle, exhaustion, disease, and
starvation ended the long treacherous journey for many of the prisoners. On the
trains, Jews were starved of food and water for days. Nearly 8% of the people did not
even survive the ride to the camps. (Nyiszli, 37)
When they arrived at the camps, most of the families who were shipped out together,
ended up being separated. Often, the transports were a sampling of what went on in
the camps: cruelty by the officers, near starvation of those being transported, as well
as fetid and unsanitary conditions. For the people who survived the trip, it was just
the beginning of the living nightmare that they would face inside the walls of
Auschwitz.
Jews were forced to obey the guards orders from the moment they arrived at the
camps. quot;If they didn t, they would be beaten, put into solitary confinement, or
shot. quot; (Nyiszli, 49) A prisoner said, quot;I can remember when I first arrived.
The S.S. would take babies right out of their mother s arms, throw them in the air and
then shoot them. This is when I realized that I had just entered hell. quot; (Nyiszli,

how Africa s power was stolen from them. Rodney focuses on the relationship
between Africa and Europe and the effects of exploitation on the African people by,
reinforcing the conclusion that African development is possible only on the basis of
a radical break with the international capitalist system. The tone in which the book is
wrote uses Marxism, which can be controversial, to focus more on economic and
political theories. Rodney argues that if it wasn t for this exploitation, African
societies would not be impoverished today. Six chapters are used to explain the...

In Chapter three Rodney focuses on the colonial period in which Africa helped
develop the capitalist progression in Europe. Colonialism was not merely a system of
exploitation but one whose essential purpose was to repatriate the profit to the so
called mother land, states Rodney. Chapter four gives an historical background of
Africa in 1885 and emphasizes on the value that came from the enslavement of
Africans. This time period holds a major significance to the underdevelopment of
Africa because of the Berlin conference. Africa was then divided up due to the
scramble in which Europeans fought over power. The fifth chapter argues that
colonialism was the main factor in underveloping Africa as a whole. Rodney argues
that colonialism only did one thing, and that was steal Africa s resources and strip
them of their land. Europeans took so much from the Africans and made sure to give
nothing back which explains the type of relationship they had. In chapter six, Rodney
argues against past scholars who believed that colonialism had valuable outcomes in
the end. The author shows how the economic and political state Africa was left
robbed due to colonialism, he then provides strategies to fight against the
underdevelopment. It is clear that that Rodney is pushing his audience to understand
that Europe should be held

10. Accelerated Sensor Of Action Potentials
Accelerated Sensor of Action Potentials 1 The authors were trying to achieve a
goal that they describe as a major goal in the field of neuroscience. They were
looking for some method of reporting electrical activity in neuronal populations,
specifically optical reporting. They developed a voltage sensor that they named
Accelerated Sensor of Action Potentials 1 or ASAP1. This allows for GFP to be
inserted into an extracellular loop of a voltage sensing domain (VSD) and making
fluorescence responsive to membrane potentials. They were looking for ASAP1 to
detect a broad spectrum of membrane potentials, ranging from subthreshold to rapid
trains of action potentials. For this to be the case they had to have the appropriate
brightness, dynamic range and kinetics. They hypothesized that inserting GFP into
the S3 S4 loop would allow voltage induced movements to interrupt GFP
fluorescence. They also hypothesized that a VSD with a shorter loop would increase
the coupling between the voltage induced movements and GFP barrel distortions.
They performed various tests and concluded that a particular variant of the GFP
improved brightness, dynamic range and expression at the membrane, giving rise to
the protein they named ASAP1. From here they performed tests to show that the
VSD that they chose initially was the best choice. There are many methods that were
used in the achieving of this goal. Plasmids are small circular sections of double
stranded DNA that are distinct from a cells

Tension between community interests and individual rights and freedoms are a

alleviate this tension by enacting law reform, introducing legislation and giving
certain powers to judges and the police. Areas such as law lag, types of penalties,
bail laws, young offenders and the policedemonstrate the attempts made to relieve

Young offenders are recognised under the law to have a different level of
responsibility and vulnerability to adult offenders. This creates tension in the
community, as when children are not protected in criminal procedures, their rights
are not upheld. This is demonstrated in R V Phung and Huynh [2001] NSWSC 115,
where the accused was detained without the contact of his guardian of choice for
over several hours, was not consulted on whom he preferred as a support person
and was not given a lawyer. This creates tension as the child did not receive the
criteria assigned under the Young Offenders Act 1997 (NSW) and was without a
legal representative, defying the fairness of his case. However, the judge deemed the
evidence provided from interviews as inadmissible due to his rights being denied. The
courts attempt to prevent the tension from the community by using the judge s
discretion in determining what evidence is

13. The Term Cochlear Amplifier, Coined By Thomas Gold
The term cochlear amplifier, coined by Thomas Gold in 1948, can be described as
a positive feedback mechanism whereby outer hair cells amplify displacements of
the basilar membrane in the cochlea. It characterises the collection of processes that
increase sound vibrations in the inner ear (Ashmore Gale, 2004). Sounds are
generated by movement of air molecules that create changes in air pressure. These
changes in pressure are called compressions, when the molecules are closer together,
and rarefication, when the molecules are less densely packed and are cyclic, thus
making a pressure wave. The human auditory systemis able to respond to these
pressure waves over a range of about 20 hertz (Hz) to 20,000 Hz. The intensity of a
sound is... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
This electromotility of the OHCs has been attributed to the motor protein, prestin,
which is embedded in the cell membrane, and it is the role of these mechanical
changes that has been identified in amplifying the vibrations of the cochlea in the
transduction of sound (Zheng et al., 2000). The outcome is an enhancement of the
basilar membrane amplitude by more than one hundred times (Davies, 2014).
The key to the cochlea amplifier mechanism is the prestin motor protein as it is
this that underlies the activity of the OHCs. On the apical surface of sensory hair
cells are finger like projections, forming hair bundles, called stereocilia. These
stereocilia bathe in a cochlear fluid containing about 145 mM of potassium which is
called endolymph. The deflection of a single stereocilium invokes a pull on a spring
which links to the tip of the neighbouring stereocilium and thus pulls it in the same
direction. A domino effect subsequently occurs until the whole hair bundle has been
moved. This process causes mechanically gated transducer channels, which are non
selectively permeable to cations and are located at the base of the tip links, to open.
This provides a passage for potassium to enter the hair cells down its electrochemical
gradient as the electric potential of the endolymph, +80 mV, is much greater than that
of the hair cell body, between 55 mV and 70

They provide that such kind of merging could harm the customers by increasing our
market power and eliminating the concept of free and fair trade. However, this isn t
the case with our situation as the merging of the two firms will not result in a
monopoly situation that stands out to hurt the customer (Ravenscraft Scherer, 1989).
On the contrary, the customers will still receive the products at the price per share
and as our strategy declares, there will be maximized discounts for the customers
something that our company couldn t provide individually.
On the other side, although the market power will significantly increase, our
company still remains dominant in the industry compared to the other firm and this
eliminates the idea of coercive monopoly. We will remain at the upper side of the
deal and our firm will be in charge and dominate the market shares. Our business
results over the past couple of years before the merge have revealed that we
registered prominent lose in market share. We operated at almost a loss and lost a
significant share of the market. However, although the concept of free trade would
assume that this market shares landed in the hands of our competitors, this wasn t the

23. Treatments for Depression
Different types of depression require a variety of treatments, with mild or
moderate, a change in lifestyle could be all that is needed, for severe depression,
psychotherapy and medication may be necessary. First, spirituality enhances our
mood in many ways, an example being the calming effects when one meditates.
Feelings of connectedness to other people, and asking questions about our
existence and purpose give our life meaning. Practices such as prayer, yoga and
meditation can all relax the body and mind, lift the mood, and provide relief.
Alternative medicine such as aromatherapy and using of essential oils can lift ones
spirit and relax an aggravated mood. A long walk in nature, away from busy streets
and cloud gazing can provide relief from a busy lifestyle. We are the quality of our
thoughts, and usually if we think bad, bad is what we get. In shamanic societies if
you asked a medicine person why you felt depressed or disheartened they would
ask, When did you stop dancing? When did you stop singing? When did you stop
being enchanted by stories? When did you stop finding comfort in silence? Our
illusion of control keeps us unconscious to the many ups and downs of external
reality, which we have no control over, but we do have control of our inner voice.
The Latin word for spirit is breath, so maybe all we need to is just breathe, and
know that everything is unfolding as it should and we are right where we need to be
in this very moment. In our jobs we can
24. Doping Testing And Doping Tests
Doping dates back to ancient Greek where athletes took special diets to make
themselves stronger. In the 19th Century, substances such as caffeine, alcohol and
cocaine were used to enhance performance among long distance athletes. In 1904,
for example, Thomas Hicks won the marathon by taking raw eggs, doses of brandy
administered during the race and injections of strychnine. By the year 1920s, people
realized that restrictions had to be created regarding the use of drugs in sports. In
1928, IAAF was the first sports federation to ban doping fir the use of stimulating
substances. In 1930, the problem became worse because of the introduction of
synthetic hormones, and the IAAF lacked the proper equipment to detect doping of
such kinds. By 1960, doping was a big issue because of the death of an athlete Knud
Jensen during the Olympics games in Mexico. An autopsy revealed the presence of
amphetamine a performance enhancement drug.
In 1966, FIFA and Cycling were the first sports to introduce doping tests in their
world championships. The International Olympics Committee followed suit the
following year, and it tested athletes in the 1968 Olympic Games. By the year 1999,
the IOC convened the first World Conference on Doping in Sports, which lead to the
formation of the World Anti Doping Agency(WADA) on November of the same year.
By 200, the fight against the use of EPO was ongoing and tests were undertaken
during the Sydney Olympics. Currently, more research is undertaken

26. Historic Life Of Indigenous People And Europeans
Historic Life of Indigenous People and Europeans Europeans were the first to travel
to the New World, where they came to discover a diversity of Native American
People living there. These indigenous people had unique languages and beliefs.
Europeans observed the distinct people and began to wonder how they migrated to
this New World. It was not until Hernan Cortes arrival in Mexicothat new empires
began to immerge onto this new society. The first main Mesoamerican civilizations
were the Olmecs. They were first heard of residing in the Southern regions of
Mexico in which they lived in unique organized villages. These villages were
effective in their crops which included corn, beans, chile peppers and cotton. The
villages were effective in a way that everyone had an important role in helping each
other out to survive. Two significant cities during the Olmec history were the
establishment of San Lorenzo and La Venta. These cities were political, economic
and religious centers. Olmecs had a distinct lifestyle, such as their earliest inventions
such as the Mesoamerican ball game and tortillas. The Aztecs and Mayan civilizations
groups shared Olmec backgrounds. Mayans possessed kingdoms that had authority
over the majority of populations. They were talented in inventing pottery and
calendars. According to Susan Schroeder, ...Most Mesoamericans had worked out for
themselves a nearly exact calendar system with a 52 year count based on

27. Essay on Homer and Sappho
HUM 300 Classical Humanities
March 1, 2013 Sappho s poem, entitled Fragment 16, is of the lyrical style instead
of the epic style we are used to in Homer s Iliad. The lyrical style of poetry got its
name because it was usually accompanied by a lyre while it was recited. It also was
used to express more emotion rather than telling a story. This form of poetry seems
to be more artistic rather than the story telling of epic poetry of the time. In this poem
we are able to use the comparison of different imagery to understand a common
theme within the poem itself. The reason for the interesting title of the poem is
because most of Sappho s poetry is now only found in fragmented forms. Most of
Sappho s writing is from 600 B.C.E. As ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Perhaps this is what the Greek cavalry looked like riding off to war. This could be
considered the glorification of the warrior or the athlete of the times, which is also
shown in vase paintings and sculptor works. Also note that Sappho gives a
historical aspect to the poem with mention of Helen, who was considered to be the
most beautiful woman ever according to myth. Her beauty is being compared to the
beauty of the army in Fragment 16. These are believes that Greeks hold in moral
and ideals of their society. I personally love this poem for the idea of love and beauty
that is in the eyes of the beholder. The fact that Sappho ties the culture and their
stories of history along with her idea of beauty into one piece allows me to also
think about what I might consider beautiful. And that beauty isn t just beauty but
it is love and respect. While I would never find beauty in anything war related I m
sure I d have a different view if I lived during that time period but I can actually find
a relation in myself to the people of Sappho s time because of her work. I can
imagine standing in awe of the army marching away to war as well as being in awe
of a beautiful queen. While I find beauty in the ocean I m sure I d find beauty in the

With this in mind, Frollo comes across not only Quasimodo s villainous caretaker
and surrogate of society but rather a representation of our inner demons. He is the
voice inside our head telling us that we are not good enough, that we are not
worthy while ultimately bringing forth our darkest insecurities preventing us from
seeing anything apart from our personal monstrosities. This is a very telling aspect
of human nature in the sense that we can be overly critical of ourselves more so
than others although thoughts such as these do not originate at birth and carry
forward to adolescence and so forth, but instead are mainly driven by man made
social construct imposed by our peers that influence our feelings such as these.
Today s society looks for a perfect representation with every human being and reject
the ones who do not fit this profile. This network of social ideas that we hold today
were not just created yesterday either, but rather have been a recurring throughout
most humanities lifespan. People like Quasimodo have been subjugated long before
Disney released The Hunchback of Notre Dame. One of the earliest, and perhaps
most tragic well documented cases of disfigurement comes from the life of Joseph

Six million Jewish residents of Eastern Europe were exterminated during the
Holocaust of the 1940 s. Families were taken out of their homes and put into
ghettos, which were large prison type establishments that housed dozens of people
in one small apartment. They were then separated from their families, men to the
left and women to the right , and were placed in concentration camps, where most
of them were killed and cremated. In 1993, Steven Spielberg directed a film,
Schindler s List, which depicted the life of one man who risked his life and money
to save the few Jewish families he could.

Thus, it can be concluded that in the beginning of the movie Schindler does not fully
grasp the tragedy at hand, and consequently does nothing attempt to aid the Jews.
Schindler s realizations of the horrors of the holocaust begin in one scene near the
middle of the film. During this infamous turning point of the movie, Schindler, on
top of a barren hill, traces the path of a young and helpless Jewish girl who
wanders haphazardly through the streets of a devastated camp. Her lone image
personalizes the slaughter. Schindler tries to track her progress as she invisibly
makes her way, aimless and alone, past the madness and chaos in the street a
woman is machine gunned behind her. He loses sight of the small figure as she
walks behind a building, but then he glimpses her again, walking by a file of Jews
being herded down a sidewalk. During the roundup, a German soldier fires at a
single file lineup of men, killing five with one bullet. Distressed and stricken by
the nightmare below and the plight of the little girl in red, Schindler sees her
entering one of the empty apartment buildings. There, she climbs the stairs and
crawls under a bed for cover in a ransacked room. Her safety is only temporary, for
later she will be hunted down and cold heartedly murdered, forgotten to the world,
destroyed by her own people.
This scene is the point at which Schindler becomes infuriated, and he asks himself
why these things would happen, and

William Golding fulfills Hobbes ideas about man with Lord of the Flies when Ralph
and Jack battle over chief authority, when Simon gets killed, and when the boys turn
savage against each other.
An example of Golding supporting Hobbes s ideas about human nature is when Jack
was trying to get the boys to vote Ralph off as chief by making his own group of
hunters. Hobbes describes man s nature to be, if any two men desire the same thing,
which... they cannot both enjoy, they become enemies; and... endeavor to destroy or
subdue one another. (Hobbes). With this quote, Hobbes is saying that if two people
were to want the same thing and it ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Hobbes expresses his thoughts of man as, war consisteth not in battle only, or the
act of fighting; but in a tract of time, wherein the will to contend by battle is
sufficiently known. (Hobbes). With this quote, Hobbes is saying that what makes up
the idea to go to war or battle isn t the actual fighting but the choice of going into
this state to solve problems rather than a different way. This is shown in Lord of the
Flies with the boys, Simon, and the beast. Simon was trying to warn the boys about
the beast but was confused for the beast. When the boys thought they saw the beast,
they followed Jack s chant and order to kill it. Golding writes, The beast was on its
knees in the center, its arms folded over its face. It was crying out against the
abominable noise something about a body on the hill. (Golding 152). Here, Simon
was trying to protect himself from the boys as he tried to tell the boys about his
encounter with the lord of the flies. Jack and the tribe were so occupied and
determined to kill the beast, that they didn t tell the difference between a creature and
Simon. They don t really know why they re actually killing the beast because they re
just thinking about fighting and battling. These actions are what

There are two broad categories of Hip hop dance: new school and old school. Old
school of hip hop dance contains several styles that were created in the 1970s and
1980s, including breaking, locking and popping (Bronner 3). The main element of
breaking dance is movements executed close to the ground. Breaking dance is a
battle between several groups. Dancers use different movements, spins with heads,
leg movements and arm movements. They dance to the rhythms of hip hop music.
Generally speaking, breaking is more suitable for males because it is more
masculine and fiercer. Although popping and locking dances look similar, there
are many differences between them. In locking, dancers maintain a movement for
a while. Main movements in locking contain lock, points, and rollover of the fist.
Popping dance takes use of vibration of body parts according to the rhythm. Main
movements of popping include floating, gliding, and sliding, ticking and robot.
New school hip hop dance includes house, street jazz and other forms that were
created in the 1990s (Bronner 3). New forms of hip hop introduce many elements
of other dance styles, such as jazz, Latin dance and ballet. Generally, they are more
suitable for females. Hip hop has gained popularity among young people in many
countries, such as China and Japan. There are many reasons contributing to its
popularity. Firstly of all, Hip hop dance allows people to

Mobile phones use has increase dramatically throughout the past two decades. It is
estimated that the number of worldwide mobile phone subscribers per 100
inhabitants have jumped from 3 in 1997 to 97 subscribers in 2014 (ITU 2014).
While in developed countries mobile phones have exceeded the number of people
(BBC 2007), the growth rate of subscribers in developing countries is reported to be
the largest (BBC 2005). Mostly due to insufficient landline infrastructure. As a matter
of fact, some predicted the death of the landline due to the takeover of cellular phones
as a disruptive technology (Thompson 2005). Moreover, mobile phones have not only
put the landline market under threat, but also personal computers; it has been
indicated that the ratio of search queries sent from mobile devices to those from
personal computers have increased rapidly and merely between the years 2010 and
2011 (Church et al., 2012). The introduction of the mobile phone has consequently
introduced a number of impacts on different levels. Namely economical,
environmental, human health and human behavior. In this report we are particularly

A lot of people were raised into racism. The Revolution helped encourage some
black people to demand more out of white society. After the war, slavery slowly
ended in the Northern states. By 1840, there were still a thousand slaves.
Meanwhile in the South slavery began to expand because of the growth of cotton
and rice plantations. Native Americans did not become a part of slavery due to
them owning their own territory. But at the same time, they were not treated as
equals to white people.When white people tried to enslave Native Americans, they
fought back, ran away, and those who had not been captured attacked the whites
and helped other Native American get free. President Andrew Jackson signed the
Indian removal law in 1830, which allowed him to take Indian land and move tribes
west of the Mississippi. The Indian removal law was thought to be necessary for the
opening of American lands for agriculture, markets, money, and to develop a modern
capitalist economy. The Indian Removal, as it has been politely called, cleared the
land for white occupancy between the Appalachians and the Mississippi, cleared it for
cotton in the South and grain in the North, for expansion, immigration, canals,
railroads, new cities, and the building of a huge continental empire clear across to the
