Blacks were being thrown off of trolleys on their way to work. T .....

The emperors still felt the tax issue needed to be addressed. They decided to make the hereditary class of tax collectors pay the difference. In other words, if a poor person could not pay their full share, the tax collector paid the rest. This concept wiped out a whole class of moderately wealthy people. Later, slavery split communities. Rome believed the workers of society should not benefit from slavery. Slaves then had to reason to try hard or improve. East .....

.... National Socialist German Workers Party (Nazi) in Germany from 1933 – 1945 and by the Communist government led by Josef Stalin in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics from 1929 – 1953.

.... rather than receiving credit for their contributions in the war, England would instead find numerous ways to profit better from the colonies. England did not allow the colonists to move onto the newly acquired land from the war. The colonists were "land-hungry" (p.115) because they were now free to move past the Appalachian Mountains. However, England shocked the colonies by issuing the Proclamation of 1763. This document prohibited the colonists to settle beyond the Appalachians.

This period was categorized by a complete silence where .....
