Bailey, the Savannah Campaign was “the most destructive campaign against a civilian population during the Civil War (1861-65)” and is significant because it incorporated psychological warfare (2002). The campaign began in November of 1864 and lasted a little over a month. In this campaign, General William Sherman of the Union Army took his troops across Georgia to the Atlantic Ocean (Bailey 2002). By the time Sherman began his “March to the Sea” as the Savannah Campaign is often called, the Confederate Army of Tennessee had moved to Alabama. This left Georgia unprotected.

Dear Mr. Obama,

How do you? I am one of your supporters from the great state of Georgia
The total Georgia state vote when counted was close but unfortunately Mr. McCain gained more votes with 52 percent of the Georgia voters. Mr. Obama, you received 47 percent of the votes.

The discussion about the death penalty in the United states existed since colonial times. The peak of death penalty opposition was reached in 1966 when an anti-death penalty movement was born. Its strongest argument was that many prisoners sentenced to death were found innocent. Many executed people were proved to be innocent as well.
Besides the arguments of the opponents of the death penalty, many loved ones and families of murder victims also support the replacing of death penalty with life sentence without parole arguing that the process is a traumatization for all parties which lasts for years, the ...

While information warfare has been around since the first armies discovered the importance of gathering and using information to gain an advantage over an opponent, its incorporation of cyberterrorism methods is a completely new development. The basic model consists of an attack against an opponent’s information infrastructure, such as a computer network, to intimidate or threaten in furtherance of a political or social objective. Ostensibly, the attack is committed by a terrorist group of their own accord but the reality is that the group is sponsored, equipped or otherwise assisted by a nation-state who cannot directly initiate the attack due to legal or ...

Slavery, which the South frequently referred to as its “peculiar institution,” had an enormous impact on American history. Even after 1863 and the abolition of slavery through the Emancipation Proclamation, as well as the 1865 passage of the 13th amendment to the Constitution, slavery continued to have lasting effects on the American people for decades to come. The beginnings of African slavery go all the way back to the first British settlements in North America. However, it was the division of former British colonies into slave states in the South and free states in the North that laid the ...

One of the cornerstones of American legal system is the Eighth Amendments prohibition against “cruel and unusual punishment” (United States Constitution, amend. VIII). Because the Eighth Amendment is silent on what forms of punishment constitute inherently “cruel and unusual,” flushing out the details has been left up to the Supreme Court. As society advances and develops, views towards punishment correspondingly shift. While it may have been a widely accepted practice to draw and quarter people three hundred years ago, by today’s standards, this punishment certainly constitutes cruel and unusual punishment under the Eighth Amendment.
The most controversial form ...

In the recent past, ethics in the context of employment has been considered as universal among employees in both private and public sectors.

Therefore, Employment-At-Will Doctrine maintains that in the absence of specific contractual, as well as other legal obligations that stipulate the duration of employment contract; all employees are engaged “at will.” Hence, the statement implies ...

Georgia recognizes the doctrine of employment at will. Employment at will means that in the absence of a written contract of employment for a defined duration, an employer may terminate an employee for a good cause, bad cause, or no cause at all, so long as it is not an illegal cause .

Discriminatory reasons include race, color, sex, religion, national origin, etc. In order to better understand how at-will employment works, I will provide three different scenarios ...

Introduction

No form of punishment engenders more controversy than the death penalty. Although capital punishment has been used since ancient times, its modern utilization is repeatedly called into question. The United States stands alone among Western world counterparts in its continued use of the death penalty. Among the international community, the general trend largely reflects a discontinuance of capital punishment. For instance, member states of the European Union have all abolished the death penalty (Shin, 2007, p. 505). Given the overwhelming number of nations that have since abolished the death penalty, it is somewhat surprising that the United States continues ...

The death penalty has been controversial within the United States. Many people believe that this method of punishment is “unusual and cruel.” Despite this stance, by the large proportion of the American population, the fact remains that this method of punishment has been witnessed in different court outcomes. One of the things that is important to note is that laws within the United States are not created so as to oppress the common citizen. Instead, the laws are created to protect the common American citizen from aggression both from the fellow citizens and the state as a whole. However, the ...

The judicial process in the United States of America has become flawed over the years. This has arisen from the fact that most of the American citizens have come out in large numbers condemning the prosecution and injustice to innocent men and women all over the country. As a result, legal scholars have had to engage with the public over issues such as racism, as well as the general degree of anti-Semitism in a bid to reduce the unlawful prosecution of innocent men and women in the United States. In this light, it is important to analyze the Leo ...

‘Georgia Dusk’ is a poem of 28 lines in which the author, Jean Toomer, creates the mood that impacts his mood of the readers. (Toomer) After the first reading of the “Georgia Dusk,” we can imagine a colorful, optimistic picture of the industrious life in Georgia. However, if you look at the situation more skeptically, the realization comes that the poem draws attention to the destructive nature of the African American community. The light and dark imagery used throughout the work indicates that the darkness, though brings a break from a long day of work, brings danger and chaos ...

The Death Penalty Should Not Be Abolished

It comes to no surprise that the issue of the death penalty continues to remain in social forums and even in legislative debates as the punishment continues to reign in several parts of the globe. Debates would often range from the alternative punishments that would not constitute to killing to the idea that criminals do not deserve such death. Of course, supporters to pushing for the death penalty refuted these debates as the mentality goes that if criminals of high profile are punished to their death; others would not try to commit acts to protect their life.

Primarily, this has brought numerous challenges as the state has to keep up with these expenses. Notably, I chose this article because I am passionate about development.

The rise in imprisonment in America over the past years has risen at an alarming rate. The United States of America prison population has increased from about three hundred thousand inmates in the 1970’s to over one million inmates in recent years. Statistics show that America has the highest number of inmates in the world (Pfaff 173).The so-called “war on drugs ” which attracted long prison sentences has acted as a major factor contributing to the increase in the prison population (Golembeski 1702).

The American Civil War, which lasted from 1861 to 1865, was fought between North and South United States. The main cause of the Civil War was the disagreement over slavery, which is evident through the analysis of multiple documents of the time. These documents display the ways that slavery divided the country at this time, drawing a very distinguished line through the country. The North supported abolitionism and wanted an end to the slave trade, and they participated in helping many slaves escape to freedom through the Underground Railroad. The South formed the Confederacy, a union of all of the states ...

One of the greatest and most tragic failures in American history was the Trail of Tears. The forced relocation of Native Americans from their tribal lands in the southeastern United States (mainly Georgia) to reservations in present-day Oklahoma serves as both a blemish on American history, and a reminder of the legacy of racism that condoned the mistreatment of Native Americans by the earliest white settlers of the young Republic.
In 1838, thousands of Native Americans of the Cherokee tribe were forced from their homeland in Georgia by about 7,000 US troops, who were ordered to speed up the ...

While Griffin was able to resume life as a white man, many of his experience with racism from a black man's point of view stayed with him for life.
