Here Come Nazis
Here come Nazis!
Here come Nazis!
Right down the Maginot line!
Hitler and Stalin and all the German Huns
are pulling on the trigger.
shots are fireing, children are crying;
All is wherry and dim.
Hang your helmet and say your prayers,
'Cause Nazis are coming tonight.
Here comes Nazis!
Here comes Nazis!
Right down Gustav Line!
He's got a camp that is filled with jews
for the boys and girls again.
Hear their screams and desprate cries,
What a horriable sight.
Jump for cover, watch your head,
'Cause Nazis are coming tonight

A Legacy of Distrust
As an American in this confrontation my accusations toward the Soviet Union are things such as their communistic political system, their detonation of the atomic bomb and most of all spying. Their communism was having a domino affect on their surrounding countries in Asia making them communist. Communism takes away all of the natural rights of their citizens creating a dictatorship which puts the idea of another "Hitler" issue. Soviet production of the atomic bomb, and detonation of the atomic bomb, furthered the distrust and tensions between the two countries. The Americans created the atomic bomb being ahead of the nuclear arms race, then they come out with their atomic bomb, with aid from espionage of the Manhattan Project, that could be disastrous to anyone.The spying, of several captured and documented spies, is an obvious sign that they are digging for information on the American government.

As example a noted Soviet intelligence officer, Vilyam Genrikhovich Fisher, who watched over spies of the Soviet Union. Fisher was captured by the FBI in New York on June 21, 1957, when arrested, the hotel room and photo studio that he lived in contained multiple modern espionage equipment items: cameras and film for producing, cipher pads, cuff links, hollow shaving brush, shortwave radios, and numerous "trick" containers, such as his nickel container where he transported micro films in it.

The Warsaw Pact was also a not-so-great thing for the U.S.. The Warsaw Pact was the Soviet-sponsored military-treaty organization and the European Communist Bloc's counterpart to NATO.

New Deal
Farmers in America did well out of the New Deal. The farmers of America did not prosper in the so-called Roaring Twenties. They were simply too successful in that they produced far too much for the American market. With western Europe as a market effectively closed to them as a result of a tariff war, the farmers could only sell in America. Too much product for too few people caused prices to plummet. Farmers had to sell to whoever would offer a price for their goods. Bankruptcy followed bankruptcy among farmers in the mid-West.

Progressivism
Temeprance in a way failed.
It was successful by the number of people who joined the movement and the number of people that continued to get involved. The Temperance movement didnt stop the drinking all together, it more slowed it down for a little while. Like today, drunks everywhere, so you could say that we as Americans haven't really steared away from alcohol addictions but took our rights alittle more for granted then what we should when it comes to drinking.

Andrew Carnegie
Andrew Carnegie started out at age 13 making $1.20 as a bobbin boy. Later in life he learns the value of investing and decides to invest in railroad-related industries (iron, bridges, and rails), and then he began to gain good amounts of money. While Carnegie paid his employees the low wages typical of the time, he later gave away most of his money to fund many libraries, schools, and universities in America, the United Kingdom and other countries. Steel was where he made his fortune. In the 1870s, he founded the Carnegie Steel Company, which made him one of the “Captains of Industry”. By the 1890s, the company was the largest and most profitable industrial enterprise in the world. Carnegie sold it to J.P. Morgan in 1901, who created US Steel. Carnegie devoted the remainder of his life to large-scale charity, with special emphasis on local libraries, world peace, and education and scientific research. With our socratic seminar that we had Thursday, he was one of the people who I would consider on of the "Heros" and not one of the "Robber Barons", becuase of like what I said "Its not that if you're rich you should be considered a "Robber Baron" its how you use your wealth and how greedy you really are." I think that with all of his givings and helping of schools and libraries he clearly justified himself instead of useing the excuses that the Robber Barons used.
