6 Introduction to the Class Monday, January 31, 2011 11:16 AM Vietnam is the longest war that the US got involved in. We have gotten US supplies in Vietnam since 1955. The reason why 1955 is so important is because l-955 is the year when the US decides to take over what the French were unable to do. The Thing about Vietnam is it's a country that is defined by the idea that other: people have conquered it . It spent about half of it's known existence under someone's control by either the Chinese or the French. What we have to understand about The Vietnamese people is that they don't want to be controlled by some outsider that they really wanted control themselves. And in 1955, We tried to put our control

One of the places we have the clearest views of that "terrible transformation" is the colony of Virginia. In the early years of the colony, many Africans and poor whites -- most of the laborers came from the English working class -- stood on the same ground. Black and white women worked side-by-side in the fields. Black and white men who broke their servant contract were equally punished. ? ? ? All were indentured servants. During their time as servants, they were fed and housed. Afterwards, they would be given what were known as "freedom dues," which usually included a piece of land and supplies, including a gun. Black-skinned or white-skinned, they became free.

United States Constitution
History of the United States
The United States as it existed under the Articles of Confederation was somewhat similar to Europe in the early days of the common market. It was basically divided into 13 nations by allowing each one it's own taxes, and tariffs. However, after a few short years the Articles were removed and replaced by the Constitution in attempt to address their weaknesses. Despite this failure the Articles of Confederation did obtain a few strengths, and were a stepping stone that led the Founding Fathers to create the Constitution.

For approximately two hundred and fifty years, slavery raged on in the United States. Today, people look back on it with humiliation and sadness. Most agree that it was morally wrong, but did the colonists of the seventeenth century have another choice? The colonies were full of plantations, and did not have enough laborers to work them. Wages were rising in England, so there were less indentured servants, plantation owners grew fearful of mutinous former servants, and there weren’t enough workers to toil away at their labor-intensive crops. Without slaves, plantation owners wouldn’t have been able to do what they did on such a large scale.
