I decided to read this book to learn about more about the Civil war and the Battle of Shiloh. With all the controversy currently going on about the Confederate monuments, I needed to be more informed about the Civil war. The most interesting part of the battle was the skirmish that was known as “The Hornets Nest”. The skirmish lasted about seven hours. The gunshots were so voluminous that they was thought to sound like a swarm of hornets. The Battle of Shiloh was fought on April 6th & 7th, 1862, in Tennessee, about 20 miles Northeast of Corinth, Mississippi. General Albert Sidney Johnston commanded the Confederate…

According to Mr. David Starkey, Henry VIII (the king) was far from similar to Henry VIII (the kid). Instead of researching through the records of the Royal Chamber, Starkey was able to find more details about Henry VIII’s early childhood in the Exchequer. The Royal Chamber wasn’t implemented yet until King Henry VII invades France back in 1492. By scavenging through the documents of the Exchequer, Starkey found a window where he could look at how Henry VIII was before all those wives and before becoming a king. To Starkey, how Henry VII was raised was a very crucial part of his life because it would explain how much of an influence it had made on his way to the throne and also during his reign at the throne.…
During and throughout the reign of Henry Tudor there were numerous changes that took place in regards of religion itself and as a result of this, religious divisions (which still resonate today) inevitably took hold in England. Initially and arguably so Henry was staunchly Catholic from the get go and on the outside certainly portrayed this in the beginning of his reign, however he also repeatedly made decisions which more than hinted at a lean towards Protestantism. At a time when radical religious ideas were spreading, England was displaying an eager aura for change but the changes that followed were not in fact the result of Henrys shifting beliefs. More so, they were a result of his seemingly growing obsession…

Among the events of world history, the Civil War in the USA is one of the central places. Due to this sombre and mourning event, the current population know the names of Abraham Lincoln, John Brown, Ulysses S. Grant, who stood at the head of armies of the northerners; know the names of General Robert E. Lee, who led the armed forces of the slave owners, fanatic Lincoln's assassin named John Wilkes Booth. It is known, how the war ended and who won it. This creates an extremely dramatic history of this war. It is associated with not only the names of the characters, personifying two warring camps, but many battles, sea battles, the most urgent political debate, skillful diplomatic game, and the Union Confederation (during the war, the North and South of the USA were called). It was seeking to obtain the support of the European powers (South) or, on the…
To an extent, Opposition to the religious reforms by Henry VIII wasn’t overly serious, the opposition did have some potential to cause damage but the danger was never severe enough to undermine the Tudor dynasty or threaten the omnipotent once of the “Most Christian King”. Opposition was only as serious as the support it had, which is why The Pilgrimage of Grace of 1536 was the most dangerous form of opposition. Henry ensured that disapproval from his kingdom would never threaten to undermine the longevity of the Tudor dynasty by using Cromwell’s key weapon: The Treason Act of 1534. This allowed Henry to eradicate any opposition that had potential to threaten Henry. The religious changes came to a halt in 1540, where Henry sends out a strong deterrent message by executing the architect of the religious changes, Cromwell.…

This essay is a review of Henry’s daughters’ case study. The short film tells a story of how Henry- a professional engineer and a semi-retired lobbyist- and his friend Jeff wanted to bring a major change in the transportation industry by introducing automated transport (Martin, P. 2010). This was a great initiative to improve the state of transportation and had great benefits even for the future generations. The problem arose with the way they planned to bring the initiative to life by violating the rules of conduct ethics of the engineering profession. Henry can be thought of as the mastermind behind the introduction of the initiative and how it will be rolled out. Henry and Jeff corrupted the senator by telling him that should he fund give…
