- 703: Ulysses S. Grant
- ... steady following. Even his most faithful admirers, however, tend to end their studies conveniently at Appomattox, and one senses a wide regret that Grant's public career extended beyond the Civil War. Taking note of this trend, John Y. Simon observes that some biographers "seem to have wished that Grant had accepted Lincoln's invitation to Ford's Theatre" on the night ... traditional picture of honest reformers opposing the president's corrupt party henchmen is that Grant was actually the first president since the establishment of the Jacksonian spoils system to initiate civil service reform.

- ... though have not always been as what they had expected to have been. Many of the lower classes were treated very unfairly and rulers lost popularity to the lower classes.

This time a pathway was attempted to be laid down that would accommodate both the ...
- 705: Andrew Jackson
- ... Andrew Jackson and his brother Robert (who had also joined the American army by now) went back home to the Crawfords.

In one bloody encounter, Jackson and his brother were taken prisoner by British dragoons. A British officer ordered Andrew to clean his boots. The boy refused, claiming his right as a prisoner of war not to be treated like a servant. The furious officer whipped out his sword and slashed at the boy's head. Luckily for Jackson, his stealth saved him from ...
- 706: Kosovo And Milosevic
- ... army and police, amid unbelievably cruel carnage of human lives and burning of villages and towns. Kenneth Waltz s first-image theory rests on the assumption that the causes of war are to be found in the nature and behavior of man and on the role of specific individuals, as in this case Slobodan Milosevic. If you ask the question "Why is a war taking place in Kosovo?" a large part of the reply must be "Because of Slobodan Milosevic." In an interview with Newsweek s Lally Weymouth, German Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer bluntly linked Milosevic with the two names whose shadows still linger over modern Europe. Milosevic, said Fischer, "was ready to act like Stalin and Hitler to fight a war against the existence of a whole people." It is Milosevic who has lit the flame of evil; if it is to be put out, he needs to be understood. ...

- ... mile wide corridor of destruction across the Confederate State of Georgia. He burned every thing in his path. He torched plantations, bridges, crops, factories, and mills. The goal of this war of attrition was to stop the heart of the Confederacy. By all accounts this campaign was very successful. Sherman’s campaign raised many questions. First, what did Sherman think off ... the North it was a triumphal procession in which right prevailed and an evil rebellion and its institution were destroyed. To the South, it was the ultimate cruelty-a cowardly war against innocent civilians, an act so despicable that it took Georgia one hundred years to recover economically. A scar still remains on the southern psyche. (Miles, Intro) When I look ... go to stop the South. Sherman also wanted to mislead his enemies in his true intentions. In a letter he wrote to H. C. A. Dana, the Assistant Secretary of War he says: If indiscreet newspaper men publish information too near the truth, counteract its effect by publishing other paragraphs calculated to mislead the enemy- such as “Sherman’s army ...
- 708: Lincoln - The Truth
- ... that the United States had. He was not perfect, and he was not always truthful, but his few departures from the straight and narrow path of rectitude came during a war in which the nation's very existence as a united nation was at stake. And, "on those occasions he had to rise above both principle and the Constitution in pursuing ... overrun by adding it to the budget for the next year, Lincoln did not ask, and was prepared to pay for it himself. When a nation is unprepared for a war and has to quickly get ready; money, along with other things, is wasted. This is due to the fact that profiteers decided that a buck was to be made, and ... that it is hard to deny any price in a time of need and haste.
