    The Payne-Aldrich Tariff Act of 1909 (ch. 6, 36 Stat. 11), named for Representative Sereno E. Payne (R-NY) and Senator Nelson W. Aldrich (R-RI), began in the United States House of Representatives as a bill lowering certain tariffs on goods entering the United States.[1] It was the first change in tariff laws since the Dingley Act of 1897.[2] President William Howard Taft called Congress into a special session in 1909 shortly after his inauguration to discuss the issue. Thus, the House of Representatives immediately passed a tariff bill sponsored by Payne, calling for reduced tariffs. However, the United States Senate speedily substituted a bill written by Aldrich, calling for fewer reductions and more increases in tariffs.[2]…

    Webster's Dictionary the word genocide as “a systematic killing of, or a program of action intended to destroy a whole nationality or ethnic groups.” There have been many famous attempts at ridding the world of a certain group of people. One example that many people think of is the Holocaust where the Nazis and Hitler tried to rid Europe of Jews. Another genocide was the Greek Genocide which lasted from 1915-1918 and about 800,000 people were killed in three years. They used brutal ways to exterminate these nationalities and ethnic groups. The Rwandan Genocide had a lot of conflict building up and a short, brutal, genocide, that changed the world forever.…

    George Washington was born on February 22, 1732. His parents were Augustine Washington (1694-1743) and his second wife, Mary Ball Washington (1708-89). Mary gave birth at his family's plantation on Pope's Creek in Westmoreland County, in the British colony of Virginia. After Washington's father had passed away when he was about 11, it's likely that he helped his mother manage the plantation. By the late 1760s, Washington had experienced firsthand the effects of rising taxes imposed on American colonists by the British, and came to believe that it was in the best interests of the colonists to declare independence from England. Washington served as a delegate to the First Continental Congress in 1774 in Philadelphia. By the time the Second Continental Congress convened a year later, the American Revolution had begun in earnest, and Washington was named commander in chief of the army.…

    Conflict is prominent in our world today and that is obvious in the small African country of Rwanda where Hutu and Tutsi ethnic groups are engulfed in a bloody battle for control of their country. There are many differing ideas as to what the rest of the world, mostly Western countries, should do about the current conflict. Some would argue that the West must intervene in this African affair in order to establish peace, but I do not believe that an intervention would be helpful. As a Nigerian citizen who has spent his entire life in Africa underneath a watchful eye of Western nations like the United States, I believe that this problem should be handled by Africa. The current situation between the Hutus and Tutsis is based on historical jealousy…
