History - December 2006

I feel like my introductory paragraph is wrong. What are some improvements to make to flow/sound better?

Who nearly starved to death about 160 years ago? Who traveled deep into the wintry mountains only to be trapped by its stiff arm? Who, according to author C.F. McGlashan, “contributed the truth; truth that was sufficiently terrible”? To these questions there is but one answer: The Donner Party. From traveling west to find fortune and expansion, these pioneers used their will and brains to survive the journey. Despite the rumors of cannibalism and cruelness, the Donner Party remains one of the most well known groups of pioneers who were resourceful and brave.

Therefore, like the Roman and Aztec imperialist states, they have gobbled up territory of adjacent nations to directly control resources and converting the conquering civilians second class citizens. What's your position on this view?

The book referenced the raised arm salute as possibly falic and his affinity for the arian race, specifically men. He apparently was afraid of sex too, but that was more because of to possibility of spreading 'diseased' genes.
I never thought that way and wondered if it was a new theory.

it must be understood that in any historical text there is extensive bias that portrays one group, country or event in a more positive light
some texts for example would ramble on about how Ferdinand financed the voyage to America for pages and have a brief synopsis on the genocide of the Arawaks and Tainos...is that not a little disturbing and the War of 1812, how many books are neutral bout whether the US lost or won?

please incorporate examples such as these into your response.

think about the causes that plunged the US into the war.
was it impressment or was it Canada...Do you think America cared enough about sailors to pursue war?
in the end british ceased to impress sailors. but america certainly did not get canada upon which many like to say "we didnt lose any land"
do u like me think impressment was an excuse and the real reason was to conquer Canada? if yes how realistic was this goal? and how cunningly have textbooks covered up the unerlying reason (Canada)? does the textual bias bother anyone?

the "Holy Grail." My question is --- Does the term The Fisher King have another earlier connection with the search for the grail? In other words, was the term connected with the grail long before the movie?
