History - November 2006

I'm working on understanding Andrew Jackson a little bit better because he was such a controversial figure. We know that he was mainly elected on the basis of representing the "common man".

I'm looking for ways that Jackson increased the power of the President's office and how at the time, he contradicted the common man image.

Thanks

My grandfather was in this group in PA. He was Black Dutch. I want to know if it is somehow connected to American Indians or Black Dutch. He was also a Mason. Is it somehow a division of Masons? I would appreciate any valid information you can give me.

Does the American public still believe that the bombing was justified? Or was it tantamount to a war crime?

"The Japanese had, in fact, already sued for peace. The atomic bomb played no decisive part, from a purely military point of view, in the defeat of Japan." -Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz,

"The use of [the atomic bombs] at Hiroshima and Nagasaki was of no material assistance in our war against Japan. The Japanese were already defeated and ready to surrender." Admiral William D. Leahy, Chief of Staff to President Truman.

"Based on a detailed investigation of all the facts, and supported by the testimony of the surviving Japanese leaders involved, it is the Survey's opinion that certainly prior to 31 December 1945, and in all probability prior to 1 November 1945, Japan would have surrendered even if the atomic bombs had not been dropped, even if Russia had not entered the war, and even if no invasion had been planned or contemplated." - U.S. Strategic Bombing Survey

I was in Wembley, Kingsbury, Edgware, and Hendon today and did'nt see any poppies being worn except by a few white people although all Common Wealth Countries were in Whitehall for the ceremony. I know most of the people that have been welcomed to this country were not here during the war (all though the poppy appeal is for helping service men now) but they don't seem to realise that if this country would of lost the war they would never of been able to have the freedon under the Nazi to live here at all.
Lets start pulling together for a better future.
