Analyzing Causes
Factors that influenced and encouraged Revel to dedicate his life to racial harmony:
1. Revel was born of free parents in North Carolina in the South. He knew what freedom meant from birth and savored its effect.
2. Despite his birth of free parents he was denied education in the South.
3. He had to travel to Indiana and Illinois to receive education.
4. He became a Methodist pastor and knew Jesus Christ. He knew the freedom that should be enjoyed by every human being.
5. He actively participated in the Civil War as a minister to two Black Regiments and knew first-hand the destructive effects of racial discrimination.
6. After becoming a politician and the first black senator of the United States, he understood that he must use his political position to influence positive changes in the US society. It was his chance and he used it well.
Explanation:
The man we are discussing is Hiram Rhodes Revels (1827 - 1901). He is enviably the first black senator in the US senate. He was born of free parents in North Carolina. He received his education from Indiana and Illinois because "there was no opportunity for him in the inns," of the heavily discrimination-infected South. Despite all odds he became a Reverend gentleman, and endeared himself to his community through his intelligence and eloquence. Not satisfied with the status-quo, he vied for political positions in the state of Mississippi and eventually became the first black senator in US history.

The 1848 discovery of gold in California set off a frenzied Gold Rush to the state the next year as hopeful prospectors, called “forty-niners,” poured into the state. This massive migration to California transformed the state's landscape and population.
In the story of Don Quixote, Don Quixote acts like a knight trying to attack the windmills because he thought they were giants. Although this is a funny scenario, we can see the instances of chivalric values. First would be courage. Though he knew he was going up against "giants", he still went for the attack. This was also a display of faith in oneself and his convictions. He also believed that he had to attack the "giants" before they attacked the land. Another would be nobility. He decided to do this simply because it was a part of his own principles. Even if he knew that he was probably going to die, he stuck up to his own sense of justice. Of course, there would be justice. He believed that justice had to be upheld so that his imaginary enemies won't conquer. These are all values that knights had in their code of chivalry.
