    Why Henery Clay Sould'Ve Been President

    I chose Henry Clay as the person who I think should have been president instead of these four other men. These other men were incompetent, they lacked leadership, and they each didn't have much support. None of them had much drive or motivation to be a good president, and as for a couple of them, they didn't have much political background at all. Henry Clay, on the other hand would have made a fantastic president instead of these four men. Even though he had already run for president three times, and lost, he still had the potential to be a great president. He had a vast background in politics. He had so much to do with what was going on that time in politics, it seem as if he never died (, from our pages of our history book that is). Henry Clay was a great man and I believe that he stood head-and-shoulders above the rest of the presidents of the 1850's. He was a great man who was secretary of state under John Quincy Adams and an unsuccessful candidate for the presidency in 1824, 1832, and 1844. He was one of the most popular and influential political leaders in American history. His genius in the art of compromise three times resolved bitter political conflicts that threatened to tear the nation apart, winning him the title "The Great Pacificator."…

    Similarities Between Malcolm X And Martin Luther King

    Our past life can teach us, and raise our confidence, or it could change us and bring it down. Martin Luther King was an intellectual child who loved to be first and hated to second. When Martin was 7, he was enrolled into helping the church and by doing so he was brought up in a community filled with highly educated people. This made MLK more confident, knowledgeable, and expressive about his ideas and theories about the social network that he resided in. Martin Luther king was assassinated on March 29, 1968. However, Malcolm X was born into a society that not only rejected him, and discriminated him as well. Malcolm was born into a family of slaves; however like MLK he was highly intelligent and was not afraid to express his goals. He was the top student in his school, until his favorite teacher told him that his aspiration for being a lawyer is “no realistic goal for a nigger”. This social network pushed out Malcolm to another world, one filled with crime and the harsh conditions of life. Eventually Malcolm was caught drug dealing and was sentenced to jail; in jail Malcolm refined himself and found the religion of Islam. He was captivated with the equality and the respect of that religion towards every race, and that god overrules all. Malcolm X was also Assassinated on February 21, 1965…
