Withdrawing From Adrian College: Fill & Download for Free

Whether they are removed or not isn’t of as much concern to me as to whether tax dollars are spent keeping refurbishing them every year, as both removal and upkeep are both very expensive. But I will answer this question anyways with two main points:The purpose of statues is not to “remind of history” or “teach about history”. They are to commemorate people.Confederates are not worth commemoration.As for point #1:Statues originally originated as ways to worship or pay homage to your gods. Eventually, the practice spread to warriors or political leaders you found highly honorable. When you make a statue you paint the leader up as nicely as possible to make them look good and to give them praise. Seeing a large bronze, stoic looking man gazing off into the sunset neither teaches/reminds me of anything in particular and not by accident: It was never the intention to begin with. We could have 0 statues of anything in the US, and nobody would forget history.It would live on in books, high-schools, colleges, movies, journalism, etc. I haven’t learned a damn thing from any statue, anywhere, other than now having a vague idea of what certain historical figures looked like. Again, picture hypothetically every single statue in America was instantaneously erased. How much history would you forget? None. It will continue to be taught just as it was before. At best you will have a plaque with certain dates or a brief summary or some context.We don’t have statues all over the place of Lenin, Genghis Khan, Adolf Hitler, Ted Bundy, or Osama Bin-Laden. Surely having them around would remind us of history, right? But we would never put them up because that would be implying they are worthy of praise. There are many other ways you can remind people of history as opposed to building a statue.As for point #2:This might seem obvious to many but there are many people that will contend the fact that Confederates don’t deserve praise. When you ask them what it is they fought for, they usually will give you an intentionally vague and unhelpful answer. The two most common are “States Rights” or “The economy”.Let me take the time to remind these people that they fought for the “States Right” to enslave people, torture people, and tear apart their families. I challenge any pro-confederate person to give me a list of other “states rights” they fought for. Sure, they fought for “The economy” that was upheld by the moral degeneracy that is slavery. Bear in mind that the South is getting by just fine nowadays without slavery.Psalms 128:2- For thou shalt eat the labor of thy hands: Happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.You don’t even have to take MY word for it. Take the Confederates word for it:“The people of the State of South Carolina, in Convention assembled, on the 26th day of April, A.D. 1852, declared that the frequent violations of the Constitution of the United States, by the Federal Government, and its encroachments upon the reserved rights of the States, fully justified this State in then withdrawing from the Federal Union; but in deference to the opinions and wishes of the other slaveholding States, she forbore at that time to exercise this right. Since that time, these encroachments have continued to increase, and further forbearance ceases to be a virtue.” (Very first paragraph of their secession)“But an increasing hostility on the part of the non-slaveholding States to the institution of slavery, has led to a disregard of their obligations, and the laws of the General Government have ceased to effect the objects of the Constitution”South Carolina made sure to place their emphasis on slavery when they chose to secede. Mississippi, the second state to secede, did the exact same:“Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery — the greatest material interest of the world.”Bear in mind that in addition, the problems such as regulation of commerce and high tariffs were present before Abraham Lincoln was elected. In addition to this Lincoln never expressed any desire to increase tariffs or regulate the economies of states any more than previous presidents or his opponents. This leaves his anti-slavery stances as the only reason he could scare Southern states into seceding. There wasn’t a single state that seceded before Lincoln was elected.The confederacy decided that banning slavery was such an affront on their rights that starting a war would be a good response, which killed 2% of America’s population. 1 out of every 50 people would go on to die in this war.Perhaps the worst development the Confederacy created was this rabid anti-government sentiment. Any government action was seen as nefarious, infringing, and automatically wrong. Remember what the government was attempting to do, however. It was attempting to END slavery. How evil and authoritarian of them, right?These sentiments eventually led John Wilkes Booth to assassinate Lincoln, effectively ending his idea of reconstruction. Southern infrastructure would remain devastated and African-Americans would be legally denied their rights due to Jim Crow laws. Every single death from the Civil War was pointless to begin with but now they were all in vain since hardly anything changed.

Many men have fought both the wars but my favourite has to be this badass personHis name Is Sir Adrian Carton de Wiart.He hails from Belgium but fought on Britains side. he was one of those people who liked fighting wars and hated peace time.He first came into action in Second Boer war where he left College to take part in the war. He lied about himself saying his name was Adrian Trooper and that his age was 25( he was 19). he got wounded in stomach there and his real name and age was soon discovered.when his father found out that he left College to go into the the army he became furious. but soon agreed to send him back in army.First World WarWhen first world war broke out he was Enroute to British Somaliland where a small war was underway against the followers of Mohammad Bin Abdullah called the "Mad Mullah" by the British. There he charged one the fort armedwith nothing but a walking stick, in this war he was injured and lost an eye and portion of his ear. He was awarded with DCO. In 1915 he was sent to the western front to lead the charge there. he commanded three infantry battles there and also lost his left arm in that charge. He also once pulled his fingers from his mouth because a doctor refused to do so. At the battle of somme he was shot through his skull. In total he was injured 7 times during first world war.he received Victoria cross in 1916 at age of 36.Post WW1post world war 1 he was sent to Poland to help them. there he developed sympathy for poles and supported their claims to eastern Galicia. On July 27 1920 his observation train was attacked by red army he fought them off with his revolver. after the war got over he retired from with honorary rank of major general.Second world WarHe stayed in Poland after the polish war. but when Poland was invaded by Soviet and Germany he fled it using a fake passport.In 1940 he was called back by the British army to take charge of the small town of Namsos in Norway. his task was to take over Trondehim.He flew to Namsos to reconnoitre the location before the troops arrived. When his flying boat landed, it was attacked by a German fighter and his aide was wounded and had to be evacuated. After the French Alpine troops landed (without their transport mules and missing straps for their skis), the Luftwaffe bombed and destroyed the town of Namsos. The British landed without transport, skis, artillery, or air cover. The French stayed put in Namsos for the remainder of the short campaign.Despite these handicaps, Carton de Wiart managed to move his forces over the mountains and down to Trondheimsfjord, where they were shelled by German destroyers. They had no artillery to challenge the German ships. It soon became apparent that the whole Norwegian campaign was fast becoming a failure. The naval attack on Trondheim, the reason for the Namsos landing, did not happen and his troops were exposed without guns, transport, air cover, or skis in a foot and a half of snow. They were being attacked by German ski troops, machine gunned and bombed from the air, and the German Navy was landing troops to his rear. He recommended withdrawal but was asked to hold his position for political reasons, which he did.He was later evacuated from there.He was later captured by Italian Forces in 1941 he remained a POW until 1943. during this period he tried thrice to escape from prison. In 1943 he was driven to Rome where they gave him the best clothes available and shipped him back to England to give them a message that they wanted to leave the war.soon after he was sent to China where he stayed from 1943 to 1947 he retired in 1947 with the rank of lieutenant general. he later died in England on 5 june 1963 aged 83

You cannot apply to more than one college for early decision. The early decision (not early action) applications all include a section specifying that you will not apply to any other schools for early decision, and that you will withdraw any other applications you have sent out if you are admitted. So if you apply early decision to multiple schools, this is a breach of contract. If a school discovered you have applied to them as well as others for early decision, you will have your admissions offer rescinded (assuming they even admit you). Other schools will look unfavorably on such behavior, and you would be less likely to receive admission elsewhere. Some schools share lists of early decision applicants, so they might find you this way. They might also find out when you decline them, since the only way to decline an early decision offer of admission is if the school fails to meet your demonstrated financial need. While applying early decision does increase your chances of getting into a school, it does so mostly because you have signaled to the college that you will attend if admitted. Since you cannot list multiple colleges as your unquestioned first choice, you cannot apply early decision to multiple colleges. So pick only one (at most) and apply regular decision to everywhere else. This is your best shot of getting into a good university.
