    Not all presidents were considered peace-loving, and sometimes their approaches like the “Big Stick Diplomacy” produced effective results. However, Preston Smith Brooks, although never a president, found his own way to implement his version of the big stick diplomacy. Arguments should be won with words and not violence, but some see that beating a message into somebody as the most effective method. Although the unbelievable situation appears mildly amusing to us now, the attack on Charles Sumner was more indicative of a vital period in history than other events. Thus, Preston Brooks and his effect on the time should be properly explored and examined. After all, there was much more to the man than his rise to infamy throughout history.…

    In politics, Mesopotamia culture created compact self-governing political units- the city-states. It was due to the geographical barriers of the rivers and rough terrains that made it impossible to unite the many different settled communities under one rule. The Nile River was the total opposite of the rivers of Mesopotamia. These kings emerged mainly by their military status and role. Through their powers they created mechanisms such as military forces, laws, and taxations. Similarly, in Egypt, the control of wring mean control of knowledge and thus power. It is easy to see where they come to these conclusions. The Pharaoh controlled all political instruments of power and is also the authority in terms of religious beliefs. By the third millennium B.C.E. the concept of king (lugal) developed, quite possibly because of arguments about natural resources. Religious leaders decreased in power, as the power of kings increased. Although the kings subdued the temples, Mesopotamian kings did not have divine power.
