They believed he might have started the Ghost Dance Movement because of his firce opposition to Anglo-Americans influence on the lives of Native Americans.
The Lakota Sioux chief,<em> Sitting Bull</em>, was one of the most influential leaders of the great plains. He was involved in many battles and the Standing Rock Indian Agency feared that <em>he might incite the Sioux and others to rebel.</em>
When the mystical Ghost Dance ritual started in 1890, the Agents feared it might lead to an Indian uprising. They wrongly believed Sitting Bull was the driving force behind it because of his influence in the tribe. He was shot by an Indian Agent among fears he might escape the reservation with Ghost Dance followers and form some type of armed resistance.
The real founder of the Ghost Dance was a Paiute Indian from Nevada called Wovoka, also known as Jack Wilson.
Francis Lubbock (1815 – 1905) was the governor of Texas between 1861 and 1863, and therefore he was in office during the Civil War (1861-1865).
During his ruling, he promoted the conscription (draft) so that every non-disabled men joined the Confederate States Army. He appointed how slaves should replace working white men so that they could join the army. He even made the aliens who lived in Texas subjects of the draft. In general, he worked hard to ensure the mility abilities of Texas.
He rejected reelection in 1863 in order to join the Confederate Army himself. In 1864 Lubbock was named assistant of Jefferson Davis and traveled to Richmond. He had a close relationship with Jefferson Davis, the only President of the Confederate States from 1861 to 1865. Both would be captured together by the Union authorities.
Many Japanese soldiers were killed in battle of Iwo Jima because:
1) Their shinobi code of honor: They had a some 'rules' they had to follow. One of which was that they could not be captured. If they were wounded, they would have to suicide, and it was particularly better to take their own life when the enemies were around.
2) Because of this, they did not have respect for any Allied soldiers that surrendered. This made the Allies wary of the Japanese, and fought the Japanese with a different "rule" then their German counterparts. In fact, some soldiers adopted the motto "shoot before you ask questions", and it was used widely in battles. This motto meant that they would accept no prisoners.
3) Iwo Jima was considered to be part of the Japanese homeland that was born out of the ocean when the Japanese god created the world. To them, this land was sacred, and they said & thought that these lands would never be conquered. This was part of the reason why many soldiers fought to the death, because they believed that their Islands would never be taken over by foreigners.
fun fact: Kamikaze, meant divine wind, and it was widely used by the Japanese during the war, even on Iwo Jima. In the history before WW2, a group of Korean ships set sailed to attack Japan (back in the Samurai ages). However, they met strong winds and storms, and the attack force was destroyed. The Japanese named this kind of wind "<em>kamikaze</em>".

During the period of the Renaissance, Italy was divided into numerous small city-states controlled by local wealthy people. There were large differences though from one city-state to another, and while the northern ones were very wealthy and had things going very smoothly, the southern ones were much less successful.
The reason why the northern Italian city-states were so wealthy was mostly the trade. These city-states had excellent large ports. They were producing multiple things that were in high demand and also very well paid for for export, and were getting lot of things they needed and desired from the other parts of the world.
These states had very well developed fleets, and they were trading with multiple Asian regions, Europe, as well as parts of Africa. They were exporting their high quality products. Very often they were buying certain things from one place, then re-sell it in other place buy much higher prices, thus getting more and more wealth over time. That wealth enabled them to get all they needed without any problem, thus making them very stable and strong small states.
