History

Answer:

In America 1831, there was no sign of slavery ending. Nat Turner, a 31-year-old slave seen as a genius by many, was in belief that he was a prophet, and that it was god’s plan for him to revolt against and kill the whites in order to end slavery. He grouped up with others and created a rebellion that lasted only a few days but ended with the deaths of 55 to 65 men, women, and children. Of the 55 – 65 people that were killed, many were children too. Opinions over the years, decades and centuries vary about Turner. Hero or villain? Savior or scourge? Was he insane? He reportedly had a vision about the rebellion shortly before launching it. Maybe he was ‘mad.’ Slavery might do that to a person. He actually may have been all of the above.

In order to truly understand Nat Turner’s action you have to place yourself into the psychic of a slave in America during the 1400 to 1800s. If one believes that men and women can be used as “beasts”, murdered and raped then one cannot truly offer a perspective. One must understand the series of traumatic events that led up to the uprising. The slave owners had forced African Americans into slavery generations after generations. Tortured and abused men, women and children every single day of their lives, and it was never questioned but when the slaves decided to rebel, they were suddenly “madmen”. If you believed that it is your right to destroy family, whole families, why would you not believe it was your right to destroy a race and put an end to it once and for all?

History help k12 asap pls Was Congress correct in approving the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution?
Afina-wow [57]
You'll need to choose which thesis to argue.  I'll provide you with some of the background info and thoughts.

The incident in the Gulf of Tonkin involved an attack and an alleged attack on US destroyers by North Vietnamese forces in August, 1964.  On August 2, the USS Maddox was pursued by North Vietnamese torpedo boats.  The Maddox fired warning shots, and the North Vietnamese then attacked with torpedoes and machine gun fire.  The US suffered only minor and no casualties; the North Vietnamese boats were damaged and they suffered several casualties.  On August 4, there was a report of a second Tonkin Gulf incident was alleged, but this later was revealed as a false report.  Nevertheless, the American public was told of two attacks and the incidents were used to get Congress to pass the Tonkin Gulf resolution, which gave the President open-ended powers to deploy troops in the military effort in Vietnam.

The resolution had significant consequences for the Vietnam War and beyond that time.  In regard to the Vietnam War, it provided the justification for the president, Lyndon Johnson, to escalate US involvement in the war and magnify the number of US troops there by hundreds of thousands.  In US foreign policy in general, it represented an increase of the power of the Commander in Chief (the president) to deploy troops without getting formal approval in advance from Congress.

So for your thesis, you'll need to decide if you believe Congress should have retained more direct authority over the US of American forces in times of conflict, or if you support the idea of the President having greater ability to command the military's deployment on an as-needed basis.  Response time is more agile and quick in the hands of the President, but there's less check and balance than having matters vetted through Congress before committing to US action.
