It started out ending in Ohio.
When the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850 (part of the Compromise of 1850) stated that Southern Planters had the right to come to North to recapture freeing slaves, it was "extended" out to Canada.
How did Americans first get involved in the conflict in Vietnam?

Posted: 5/4/05 at 10:30pmI know this. Grrrrr. Besides the idea of "containment" and wanting to stop the spread of communism. That is the basic idea of why we were first in Vietnam. Is that what you mean? North Vietnam invaded South Vietnam. N Vietnam was communist so we wanted to stop them.

A VERY GOOD Answer--but here's WHAT I was getting at:
JFK sent some Military Advisors to Vietnam.
The First President to send Actual Troops was LBJ.
What was "Habeous Corpus"? Which President started it?

"Habeous Corpus" is Latin for "Give Me The Body".
When Lincoln was President, he gave himself the right to seize ANYBODY he wanted--any time, any day, etc. and HURL THEM IN JAIL. (It was one way to weed out Potential Southern Sympathizers.)
These poor characters could rot in Jail for WEEKS.
This action was TOTALY AGAINST The Bill of Rights (right to a Speedy Trial, etc.), but hey, that's our Lincoln!

His pardon was AFTER he took Office.
During his Inaguration Address, he stated--"I'm not a Lincoln. Just a Ford."

Hmm, Secretary of State? I have no idea. I know about Carter and the Camp David Accords, though.

Henry Kissinger (Nixon Administration) spear-headed Peace in the Middle East--I believe it was 1973.

CYP~ I need that too!!
I know it involved Korea, Vietnam, Cuba, Russia, and other countries and control of communism (containment). The Truman Doctrine, as well as the Eisenhower Doctrine were both containment policies. The Cuban Missile Crisis and Bay of Pigs incident were parts of it, as were the U-2 incident and Sputnik. Umm, let's see. The Korean War involved us, North and South Korea...who else?? (Yikes!) Umm, there was no treaty ending the Korean war, only an armistice in 1953. The Soviets put up the Berlin Wall, and the US had to airlift supplies. The two Russian premiers during the Cold War were Nikita Kruschev and Mikhael Gorbachev.
Sorry, this is all out of order, and there is a lot more, but that's all I can think of right now.

Yep--Elphie--that's a GOOD Summation--I think the website I provided gives an excellent overview as well.
So, is somebody going to take a crack at my "banging the shoe" Question?
