I have a world history project due in a few days. We have to make our own country. I can't think of a good name for my country- The theme is based off of the movies Logan's Run and The Truman Show. It will be a enclosed country in Antarctica- it runs on solar power of course. But its kind of futuristic and inventive, anyone have any suggestions for the name? Be creative! Thanks.

Shot 1: Hits Kennedy in the throat (Grassy Knoll)

Shot 2: Hits Kennedy in the back (Dal-Tex Building)

Shot 3: Hits Connally in the back (Book Depository)

Shot 4: Hits curb & injures a bystander (Dal-Tex Building)

Shot 5: Hits Kennedy in the back of the head, but isn't a direct hit. The bullet goes on to strike the windshield. (Book Depository)

Shot 6: Hits Kennedy near the right temple and exits the right back of his head. (Grassy Knoll)

6 shots. 4 snipers. 5 hits, 1 miss(not counting the Connally hit).

I believe the Mafia was behind JFK's murder. Lee Harvey Oswald was the fall guy. J.D. Tippit was not involved. Lee Harvey Oswald may or may not have shot him. 2 bullet casings found at the crime scene didn't match Oswald's gun.

Imperialism has its own good effect and bad effects. Nobody likes imperialism, though, even when its good efects outweigh its bad effects. Freedome is the most precious thing.

In the past, Britain was the the great impire on which the Sun did not set.

In light of the above:

1. What are the good effects of the old imperialistic Britain?
2. What are the bad effects of the old imperialistic Britain?

Please illustrate your answer with brief examples.

2. africans weren't as technologically advanced as other parts of the world
3. In america in the 1700s, there wasnt a direct government that had the power to enforce a ban on slavery

Thanks

Really though, It depends on the individuals involved.

...AND, even with a superior warrior, there are so many variables that could effect the outcome of such an unlikely battle.

Okay well I'm doing a research report on the War on the Mississippi-Grant's Vicksburg Campaign-and there's this group of sentences that don't click in my head! I don't get it! It's in this book and the sentence says--
"By early June 1862, with the capture of NewOrleans and the neutralization of Fort Pillow, about 50 miles north of Memphis, the Union had a firm grip on the Mississippi at both extremes of the Confederacy. But the center remainded in Confederate hands. And the focal point of Rebel resistance was Vicksburg"

I'm not understanding it exactly. Can you tell me what it means or help me better read and understand.

I have been hearing alot lately that African americans should get an apology for slavery and segregation. My question, who do you want this apology from? The government? Of which many are black? The people? Ok I am sorry, granted I am only 24 and had nothing to do with slavery or the government of the 60's, along with the majority of americans today, So I guess that leaves the very few people who are old enough to have actualy made laws or been in the government of the 60' I think that would put them around 80 something good luck finding them if any are still alive.
