Second Inaugural Address, March 4, 1865 [1865]
At this second appearing to take the oath of the presidential office, there is less occasion for an extended address than there was at the first. Then a statement, somewhat in detail, of a course to be pursued, seemed fitting and proper. Now, at the expiration of four years, during which public declarations have been constantly called forth on every point and phase of the great contest which still absorbs the attention, and engrosses the energies of the nation, little that is new could be presented. The progress of our arms, upon which all else chiefly depends, is as well known to the public as to myself; and it is, I trust, reasonably satisfactory and encouraging to all. With high hope for the future, no prediction in regard to it is ventured.
On the occasion corresponding to this four years ago, all thoughts were anxiously directed to an impending civil war. All dreaded it—all sought to avert it. While the inaugural address was being delivered from this place, devoted altogether to saving the Union without war, insurgent agents were in the city seeking to destroy it without war—seeking to dissol[v]e the Union, and divide effects, by negotiation. Both parties deprecated war; but one of them would make war rather than let the nation survive; and the other would accept war rather than let it perish. And the war came.
One eighth of the whole population were colored slaves, not distributed generally over the Union, but localized in the Southern part of it. These slaves constituted a peculiar and powerful interest. All knew that this interest was, somehow, the cause of the war. To strengthen, perpetuate, and extend this interest was the object for which the insurgents would rend the Union, even by war; while the government claimed no right to do more than to restrict the territorial enlargement of it. Neither party expected for the war, the magnitude, or the duration, which it has already attained. Neither anticipated that the cause of the conflict might cease with, or even before, the conflict itself should cease. Each looked for an easier triumph, and a result less fundamental and astounding. Both read the same Bible, and pray to the same God; and each invokes His aid against the other. It may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just God’s assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men’s faces; but let us judge not that we be not judged. The prayers of both could not be answered; that of neither has been answered fully. The Almighty has his own purposes. “Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!” If we shall suppose that American Slavery is one of those offences which, in the providence of God, must needs come, but which, having continued through His appointed time, He now will ...

In this essay, students will again be using evidence (both primary and secondary sources) to make a historical argument. Essays will be examined for three key components:
· Does the essay have a clear argument?
· Is the essay organized in a clear manner, with paragraphs that are structured by theme?
· Is the argument supported by specific evidence from the source materials?
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
Please answer the following question:
Why, by 1860-61, were Northerners and Southerners no longer willing to compromise over slavery?
1. Essays must be
4 pages long. More than 4 pages is too long and you have
probably written too much; less than 4 pages is too short and you probably have
not written enough. You may argue for either side (Northern or Southern), but
you
must only argue one side of the conflict, North or South. You also need to be
specific with regards to whom you are writing about.
2. Students are required to use 3 primary sources (no more, no less) in their papers.
Students are also allowed to use the textbook, but sparingly.
No other sources of any kind may be used in this paper. If you use other sources, you will automatically fail. You must choose from the primary sources which we have read in class.
3. Writing will be, as always, a significant factor in your grade. Your writing should
be clear, concise, well-organized, and free from all spelling and grammatical
errors and typos. If your paper lacks an argument, your essay will be marked down
three full grades. Please see the “Writing Guide” (posted on Blackboard) for
stylistic and formatting rules, as well as hints for finding and correcting common
writing errors.
4. Citations for all material used in the paper are required. Plagiarism will not be
tolerated—any evidence of plagiarism or academic dishonesty of any kind (including
failing to properly cite evidence) will result in an automatic failure.

Osama Bin Laden's Letter to America
Bin Laden’s translated letter as previously published
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,
“Permission to fight (against disbelievers) is given to those (believers) who are fought against, because they have been wronged and surely, Allah is Able to give them (believers) victory” [Quran 22:39]
“Those who believe, fight in the Cause of Allah, and those who disbelieve, fight in the cause of Taghut (anything worshipped other than Allah e.g. Satan). So fight you against the friends of Satan; ever feeble is indeed the plot of Satan.”[Quran 4:76]
Some American writers have published articles under the title ‘On what basis are we fighting?’ These articles have generated a number of responses, some of which adhered to the truth and were based on Islamic Law, and others which have not. Here we wanted to outline the truth - as an explanation and warning - hoping for Allah’s reward, seeking success and support from Him.
While seeking Allah’s help, we form our reply based on two questions directed at the Americans:
(Q1) Why are we fighting and opposing you? Q2)What are we calling you to, and what do we want from you?
As for the first question: Why are we fighting and opposing you? The answer is very simple:
(1) Because you attacked us and continue to attack us.
a) You attacked us in Palestine:
(i) Palestine, which has sunk under military occupation for more than 80 years. The British handed over Palestine, with your help and your support, to the Jews, who have occupied it for more than 50 years; years overflowing with oppression, tyranny, crimes, killing, expulsion, destruction and devastation. The creation and continuation of Israel is one of the greatest crimes, and you are the leaders of its criminals. And of course there is no need to explain and prove the degree of American support for Israel. The creation of Israel is a crime which must be erased. Each and every person whose hands have become polluted in the contribution towards this crime must pay its*price, and pay for it heavily.
(ii) It brings us both laughter and tears to see that you have not yet tired of repeating your fabricated lies that the Jews have a historical right to Palestine, as it was promised to them in the Torah. Anyone who disputes with them on this alleged fact is accused of anti-semitism. This is one of the most fallacious, widely-circulated fabrications in history. The people of Palestine are pure Arabs and original Semites. It is the Muslims who are the inheritors of Moses (peace be upon him) and the inheritors of the real Torah that has not been changed. Muslims believe in all of the Prophets, including Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon them all. If the followers of Moses have been promised a right to Palestine in the Torah, then the Muslims are the most worthy nation of this.
When the Muslims conquered Palestine and drove out the Romans, Palestine and Jerusalem retur

There are numerous instances of divided loyalties towards the government and personal morality in the video. The first illustration is when Pulaski, one of the survivor soldiers strongly disagrees with how the government is treating them. He condemns the government for its small appreciation and acknowledgment of their situation. Also, Pulaski does not agree with the fact that the government gave them medals as a symbol of heroism. In his point of view, he thinks that the government was not fair by awarding them medals only as he believes they deserve more than what they got. Another illustration of disloyalty is when the navy captain approaches Pulaski’s house and asks him to participate in a governmental duty, and he strongly disagrees acknowledging the needs of his wife. This is a clear indication that Pulaski is not loyal to the government, and he is has a high personal morality. Pulaski is experiencing a significant impact of war as he is nervous or afraid the horrible experience of war.
Yes, I have experienced a similar a situation. In 2009, I experienced a terrific road accident. Images from the incident were horrible, shocking and disturbing. Until today, I use specific drugs to help me sleep as I experience nightmares with images from that day.

The use of deadly force as a means of conflict resolution is acceptable when the cause is right, the defending of one’s home justifies the use of lethal force. In order to stop intruders or invading armies, it is justifiable to take up arms to deter the invaders from imposing their will on the people a certain area. Conflict resolution takes many forms, negotiation is one of the tools that help in the resolution of conflict since both sides are able to air their grievances. At the event that one side does not want to consider addressing the grievances of the other side and instead seeks to impose its will and dominance on it, then the other party is justified to take up arms against this intimidating party. When backed into a corner with no means of exit from such a situation, the use of lethal force is warranted since the survival of the party or individual relies on such force in order to resolve the conflict. The use of deadly force as a means of conflict resolution is only justifiable after the exhaustion of all the avenues that may lead to amicable conflict resolution, the two parties need to hear each side out before deciding to take up arms against the other party. The survival instinct of the individuals or parties also helps justify the use of lethal force, if the party or individual feels threatened and is not in an equal standing with the aggressor then his stance in taking up arms against the mightier force is justifiable since the question of survival is at hand. The loss of life and property, and the resulting instability has the capability to bring a nation down to its knees overnight.

You could also discuss new ways of connecting with others during this time, like Zoom, FaceTime, etc. Did social constructs change during this time? Will resocialization be an issue after the social distancing is relaxed? Or, you can talk about urban sociology and how Boston or your home city has changed due to the pandemic. Or, how has globalization changed? There are many possibilities – be creative!

Dwight D. Eisenhower, “Farewell Address to the Nation” (1961)
Document Background: On January 17, 1961, President Dwight D. Eisenhower gave his farewell address to the nation. Over the previous two decades, the United States had undergone numerous significant changes, including World War II, the beginning of the Cold War, the Korean War, the emergence of nuclear weapons, a rapidly growing economy, and several substantial Civil Rights victories. Eisenhower, as a general and then as president, had been at the center of many of these. In his farewell address, Eisenhower focused on the Cold War with the Soviet Union and on the challenges facing the United States, including a warning about the growing power of the “military-industrial complex.”
Dwight D. Eisenhower:

My fellow Americans:
Three days from now, after half a century in the service of our country, I shall lay down the responsibilities of office as, in traditional and solemn ceremony, the authority of the.

Theodore Roosevelt’s New Nationalism Speech (August 31, 1910)
A Speech Delivered at the Dedication of the John Brown Memorial Park in Osawatomie, Kansas
We come here to-day to commemorate one of the epoch-making events of the long struggle for the rights of man — the long struggle for the uplift of humanity. Our country — this great republic — means nothing unless it means the triumph of a real democracy, the triumph of popular government, and, in the long run, of an economic system under which each man shall be guaranteed the opportunity to show the best that there is in him. That is why the history of America is now the central feature of the history of the world; for the world has set its face hopefully toward our democracy; and, O my fellow citizens, each one of you carries on your shoulders not only the burden of doing well for the sake of your country, but the burden of doing well and of seeing that this nation does well for the sake of mankind.
There have been two great crises in our country’s history: first, when it was formed, and then, again, when it was perpetuated; and, in the second of these great crises — in the time of stress and strain which culminated in the Civil War, on the outcome of which depended the justification of what had been done earlier, you men of the Grand Army, you men who fought through the Civil War, not only did you justify your generation, but you justified the wisdom of Washington and Washington’s colleagues. If this Republic had been founded by them only to be split asunder into fragments when the strain came, then the judgment of the world would have been that Washington’s work was not worth doing. It was you who crowned Washington’s work, as you carried to achievement the high purpose of Abraham Lincoln.
Now, with this second period of our history the name of John Brown will forever be associated; and Kansas was the theatre upon which the first act of the second of our great national life dramas was played. It was the result of the struggle in Kansas which determined that our country should be in deed as well as in name devoted to both union and freedom; that the great experiment of democratic government on a national scale should succeed and not fail. In name we had the Declaration of Independence in 1776; but we gave the lie by our acts to the words of the Declaration of Independence until 1865; and words count for nothing except in so far as they represent acts. This is true everywhere; but, O my friends, it should be truest of all in political life. A broken promise is bad enough in private life. It is worse in the field of politics. No man is worth his salt in public life who makes on the stump a pledge which he does not keep after election; and, if he makes such a pledge and does not keep it, hunt him out of public life. I care for the great deeds of the past chiefly as spurs to drive us on.

He condemns the government for its small appreciation and acknowledgment of their situation. Also, Pulaski does not agree with the fact that the government gave them medals as a symbol of heroism. In his point of view, he thinks that the government was not fair by awarding them medals only as he believes they deserve more than what they got. Another illustration of disloyalty is when the navy captain approaches Pulaski’s house and asks him to participate in a governmental duty, and he strongly disagrees acknowledging the needs of his wife. This is a clear indication that Pulaski is not loyal to the government, and he is has a high personal morality. Pulaski is experiencing a significant impact of war as he is nervous or afraid the horrible experience of war.
Yes, I have experienced a similar a situation. In 2009, I experienced a terrific road accident. Images from the incident were horrible, shocking and disturbing. Until today, I use specific drugs to help me sleep as I experience nightmares with images from that day.
Post two: Island Combat: Iwo Jima
The use of deadly force as a means of conflict resolution is acceptable when the cause is right, the defending of one’s home justifies the use of lethal force. In order to stop intruders or invading armies, it is justifiable to take up arms to deter the invaders from imposing their will on the people a certain area. Conflict resolution takes many forms, negotiation is one of the tools that help in the resolution of conflict since both sides are able to air their grievances. At the event that one side does not want to consider addressing the grievances of the other side and instead seeks to impose its will and dominance on it, then the other party is justified to take up arms against this intimidating party. When backed into a corner with no means of exit from such a situation, the use of lethal force is warranted since the survival of the party or individual relies on such force in order to resolve the conflict. The use of deadly force as a means of conflict resolution is only justifiable after the exhaustion of all the avenues that may lead to amicable conflict resolution, the two parties need to hear each side out before deciding to take up arms against the other party. The survival instinct of the individuals or parties also helps justify the use of lethal force, if the party or individual feels threatened and is not in an equal standing with the aggressor then his stance in taking up arms against the mightier force is justifiable since the question of survival is at hand. The loss of life and property, and the resulting instability has the capability to bring a nation down to its knees overnight.

Dwight D. Eisenhower, “Farewell Address to the Nation” (1961)
Document Background: On January 17, 1961, President Dwight D. Eisenhower gave his farewell address to the nation. Over the previous two decades, the United States had undergone numerous significant changes, including World War II, the beginning of the Cold War, the Korean War, the emergence of nuclear weapons, a rapidly growing economy, and several substantial Civil Rights victories. Eisenhower, as a general and then as president, had been at the center of many of these. In his farewell address, Eisenhower focused on the Cold War with the Soviet Union and on the challenges facing the United States, including a warning about the growing power of the “military-industrial complex.”
Dwight D. Eisenhower:
I.
My fellow Americans:
Three days from now, after half a century in the service of our country, I shall lay down the responsibilities of office as, in traditional and solemn ceremony, the authority of the.

Theodore Roosevelt’s New Nationalism Speech (August 31, 1910)
A Speech Delivered at the Dedication of the John Brown Memorial Park in Osawatomie, Kansas
We come here to-day to commemorate one of the epoch-making events of the long struggle for the rights of man — the long struggle for the uplift of humanity. Our country — this great republic — means nothing unless it means the triumph of a real democracy, the triumph of popular government, and, in the long run, of an economic system under which each man shall be guaranteed the opportunity to show the best that there is in him. That is why the history of America is now the central feature of the history of the world; for the world has set its face hopefully toward our democracy; and, O my fellow citizens, each one of you carries on your shoulders not only the burden of doing well for the sake of your country, but the burden of doing well and of seeing that this nation does well for the sake of mankind.
There have been two great crises in our country’s history: first, when it was formed, and then, again, when it was perpetuated; and, in the second of these great crises — in the time of stress and strain which culminated in the Civil War, on the outcome of which depended the justification of what had been done earlier, you men of the Grand Army, you men who fought through the Civil War, not only did you justify your generation, but you justified the wisdom of Washington and Washington’s colleagues. If this Republic had been founded by them only to be split asunder into fragments when the strain came, then the judgment of the world would have been that Washington’s work was not worth doing. It was you who crowned Washington’s work, as you carried to achievement the high purpose of Abraham Lincoln.
Now, with this second period of our history the name of John Brown will forever be associated; and Kansas was the theatre upon which the first act of the second of our great national life dramas was played. It was the result of the struggle in Kansas which determined that our country should be in deed as well as in name devoted to both union and freedom; that the great experiment of democratic government on a national scale should succeed and not fail. In name we had the Declaration of Independence in 1776; but we gave the lie by our acts to the words of the Declaration of Independence until 1865; and words count for nothing except in so far as they represent acts. This is true everywhere; but, O my friends, it should be truest of all in political life. A broken promise is bad enough in private life. It is worse in the field of politics. No man is worth his salt in public life who makes on the stump a pledge which he does not keep after election; and, if he makes such a pledge and does not keep it, hunt him out of public life. I care for the great deeds of the past chiefly as spurs to drive us on.

How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Strengths and Weaknesses of the North and South in.docx
1. The Strengths and Weaknesses of the North and South in 1861
After reading the speeches from Alexander H. Stephens and Abraham Lincoln that are
linked in the Study Materials section, write a paper of 750 to 1100 words (3 to 4 typed,
double-spaced pages) in which you examine the strengths and weaknesses (both civilian
and military) of the North and South as they face each other in 1861. What did the South
have to do to accomplish its goal? Why wasn’t the South able to accomplish it? How did the
political leadership of Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis contribute to success or failure?
In what ways do these primary sources speak to the different ideologies of the North and
South? Readings are as followed 2nd Inaugural Speech Abraham Lincoln At this second
appearing to take the oath of the Presidential office there is less occasion for an extended
address than there was at the first. Then a statement somewhat in detail of a course to be
pursued seemed fitting and proper. Now, at the expiration of four years, during which
public declarations have been constantly called forth on every point and phase of the great
contest which still absorbs the attention and engrosses the energies of the nation, little that
is new could be presented. The progress of our arms, upon which all else chiefly depends, is
as well known to the public as to myself, and it is, I trust, reasonably satisfactory and
encouraging to all. With high hope for the future, no prediction in regard to it is ventured.
On the occasion corresponding to this four years ago all thoughts were anxiously directed to
an impending civil war. All dreaded it, all sought to avert it. While the inaugural address was
being delivered from this place, devoted altogether to saving the Union without war,
insurgent agents were in the city seeking to destroy it without war–seeking to dissolve the
Union and divide effects by negotiation. Both parties deprecated war, but one of them
would make war rather than let the nation survive, and the other would accept war rather
than let it perish, and the war came. One-eighth of the whole population were colored
slaves, not distributed generally over the Union, but localized in the southern part of it.
These slaves constituted a peculiar and powerful interest. All knew that this interest was
somehow the cause of the war. To strengthen, perpetuate, and extend this interest was the
object for which the insurgents would rend the Union even by war, while the Government
claimed no right to do more than to restrict the territorial enlargement of it. Neither party
expected for the war the magnitude or the duration which it has already attained. Neither
anticipated that the cause of the conflict might cease with or even before the conflict itself
should cease. Each looked for an easier triumph, and a result less fundamental and
astounding. Both read the same Bible and pray to the same God, and each invokes His aid
against the other. It may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just God’s
2. assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men’s faces, but let us judge not,
that we be not judged. The prayers of both could not be answered. That of neither has been
answered fully. The Almighty has His own purposes. “Woe unto the world because of
offenses; for it must needs be that offenses come, but woe to that man by whom the offense
cometh.” If we shall suppose that American slavery is one of those offenses which, in the
providence of God, must needs come, but which, having continued through His appointed
time, He now wills to remove, and that He gives to both North and South this terrible war as
the woe due to those by whom the offense came, shall we discern therein any departure
from those divine attributes which the believers in a living God always ascribe to Him?
Fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass
away. Yet, if God wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman’s two
hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood
drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three
thousand years ago, so still it must be said “the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous
altogether.”With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God
gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation’s
wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan,
to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with
all nations.
