body and pioneers did not like the idea of giving up all issues to one uniform body. Ties with the Iroquois Confederacy also worsened as the traders tried to secretly form agreements with separate Indian chiefs. British as well as the French were still steadily expanding their territories. “The Delaware, Huron, Miami, and Shawnee nations, for example, allied themselves with the French hoping that a French victory would stop the far more numerous British colonist from invading their settlements in the Ohio River Valley.” (Hewitt,131) This implies that the British forces were quickly setting up settlements in the Ohio River Valley at a faster and more sinister pace. This made the Indians mad which made most side with the French. These infuriated Indians attacked the colonist and took many as hostages. This provoked the British to dispatch troops to save their fellow colonists and so this was the beginning skirmishes that brought about a global war. The colonization of the Ohio River Valley and the Albany Congress ultimately resulted in the French and Indian War. After the French and Indian War several key factors resulted in the American Revolution. The French and Indian war resulted in the Peace of Paris in 1763. This agreement resulted in Britain gaining an abundance of land. “Despite these concessions, the British empire reigned supreme, regaining control of India as well as North America east of the Mississippi, all of Canada, and a number of Caribbean islands.”…

I experienced the contemporary 24-hour art museum and hotel combination these two artist envisioned one night with a group entertaining and spontaneous friends. Our night started out with hand-dipped ice cream on the river walk, on the Indiana side of the Ohio River and ended up…

not only changed the way land was controlled in America, but it also set the stage for the American Revolution that was to come. The primary cause of the French and Indian War was conflict over the American frontier, including the land in the Ohio Valley. In the early 1750s, the French explored and expanded into the northern Midwest region. This resulted in British and French colonists clashing along the poorly-defined border. In the early stages of the French and Indian War, the British…

At the height of my removal from my present, realism did snatch me back and when it did I inquired of Alexis, “Did you bring your swimsuit?” “No.” Alexis said. “Don’t you want to swim in the cenote today?” I asked. “No. I’ve been here as an exchange student for almost a year, Grandma. Remember? I’ve swam in it before,” Alexis informed me; then removed my hand which had held onto her arm since the start of our treacherous decent. She placed her hand on my shoulder and looked…

“Helen, I need you over here.” I watched her walk over to me with her concerned face. “What?” I watched her pause as she saw my face. “You have to go don’t you? Back over there?” She watched my facial expressions change over the course of one minute. “I got the call.” Her face seemed to darken as I said it. I had to go. There was no way around it. “Christopher, I hate that saying. I hate this. Your leaving. You are always away.” Sometimes I’d hated it too, but it's what I need to do for…

Word of the discrimination got back to the headquarters of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, where then secretary, Roy Wilkins, called for the resignations of the Coast Guard Admiral Russell R. Waesche. Admiral Waesche met with Secretary Wilkins and assured him that his guardsmen were in no way discriminating against any people. The response to the…
