Fifteenth

The Hyksos (Egyptian heka khasewet) were an ethnically mixed group of Southwest Asiatic or Semitic people who appeared in the eastern Nile Delta during the Second Intermediate Period. They rose to power during the Second Intermediate Period, and ruled Lower and Middle Egypt for over one hundred years, forming the Fifteenth and Sixteenth Dynasties of Egypt, (ca. 1674-1548 B.C.E. See Egyptian chronology). Traditionally, only the six Fifteenth Dynasty rulers are called "Hyksos". The Hyksos had names that bear strong similar ...

Hyksos - Under Sekenenra Tao II. The war against the Hyksos began in the closing years of the Seventeenth Dynasty at Thebes. Later New Kingdom literary tradition has brought one of these Theban kings, Seqenenra Tao (II), into contact with his Hyksos contemporary in the north, Aauserra Apopi. Seqenenra is the father of the ruler above whose advisors counselled against disturbing the accommodation that had been reached with the Asiatics. The tradition took the form of a tale in which the Hyksos king Apopi sent a me ...

The decision was a culmination of what many at that time considered was a push to expand slavery. The expansion of the territories and resulting admission of new states meant that the longstanding Missouri Compromise would cause the loss of political power in the South as all new states would be admitted as free states. Thus, Democratic party politicians sought repeal of the Missouri Compromise and were finally successful in 1854 with the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Act, which naturally ended the "compromise." This Act permitted each newl ...

The United States formed from a group of colonies under the authority of the British Crown, each established and governed independently of the others. For most of colonial America's history, a colonist had a duty to the colony and to the Crown, but not to other colonies. This attitude changed noticeably when the colonies faced a common threat in the French and Indian War. The Albany Plan of Union, although ...

After the Civil War a series of constitutional amendments were passed: The Thirteenth prohibited slavery. The Fourteenth, among other things, granted citizenship to everyone born in the United States. The Fifteenth guaranteed citizens the right to vote regardless of race or previous condition of servitude. Together these amendments allowed blacks a large role in the political process during the Reconstruction. On both a per capita and absolute basis, more blacks were elected to political office du ...

Dmitri Shostakovich - Early life. Born in St. Petersburg, Russia, Shostakovich was a child prodigy as both a pianist and composer. His family was politically liberal and tolerant (one of his uncles was a Bolshevik, but the family also sheltered far-right extremists). In 1918, he wrote a funeral march in memory of two leaders of the Kadet party, murdered by Bolshevik sailors. In 1919, he was allowed to enter the Petrograd Conservatory, then headed by Alexander Glazunov. However, he suffered for his perceived lack ...

Dred Scott was a slave purchased around 1833 by Dr. John Emerson, a surgeon in the US Army, from Peter Blow, who had owned Scott perhaps since his birth around 1800, but at least since 1818. Emerson served for over two years at Fort Armstrong, Illinois. Illinois was at the time a free state, and Scott was eligible to be freed under its constitution. In 1836, Emerson was relocated to Minnesota, then a free territory under the Missouri Compromise and the Wisconsin Enabling Act. During this time, Scott met and married the slave Harriet Robinson; marriage, a legally b ...

Dred Scott v. Sandford - Missouri court history. The first case Scott brought was lost on a technicality; Scott could not prove to the court that Emerson indeed owned him and his family. A judge ordered a second trial in December 1847; Emerson appealed to the Missouri Supreme Court, which sided with Scott in June 1848. A new trial did not begin until January 1850, and the jury sided with Scott and his fami ...

Shostakovich was in many ways an obsessive man: according to his daughter he was "obsessed with cleanliness"[26]; he synchronised the clocks in his apartment; he regularly sent cards to himself to test how well the postal service was working. Wilson's Shostakovich: A Life Remembered indexes 26 references to his nervousness. Even as a young man, Mikhail Druskin remembers that the composer was "fragile and nervously agile".[27] Yuri Lyubimov comments tha ...

During the Civil War, Blacks enlisted in large numbers in the Union Army, particularly in the later stages of the war, but served in segregated units under the command of white officers. While a handful of Blacks were commissioned as officers in World War I white officers remained the rule in that conflict as well, and carried over in large part into World War II also. One of the greatest advances for racial integration was Executive Order 9981 by President Harry S. Truman to racially integrate the armed forces shortly after Wo ...

Dred Scott v. Sandford - Bush v. Gore.

Justices John Paul Stevens and Stephen Breyer both echoed that comment in their dissents in Bush v. Gore, in which they similarly described the majority's intervention in the Florida recount as a self-inflicted wound. < ...
