Should Native Americans receive reparations?
um. dude. seriously? more often than not people are more willing to say NO than anything, but what one has to understand is that, at this point it's not about "who was here first" or anything. When Obama was just "senator Obama", he referred to the natives as "the first Americans", however, not a one thing i have looked up on Google can point me in the directions of an application for native American reparations. infact the u.s. gov't has apologized for many things; slavery, Hawaii, etc. , but nothing for the "first Americans". as i stated before, it's now not a concern of "who was here first", it's a concern of this(and bear in mind, there is no hidden racial bias here); "African "Americans"" are NOT native to this country. they were brought here in slave ships and forced into years and years of slavery. HOWEVER, they DO get reparations if their pre-existing relatives were directly affected by slavery. "native Americans" WERE native to this country and were not proportionately, as the "native africans", but ABSOLUTELY RAPED of their land, culture, AND future! SO, then why is it so hard for me to find information on this? why can i not find an application to apply for "first amercian" reparations? you see, it really isn't acceptable for us completely and utterly ignore the fact that a one race who suffered an atrocity CAN flourish, while another race suffering still from a similar atrocity by the same hands should just phase out of existence without receiving proper dues.

(who ever ed that ^ up there, needs to learn how to spell,
people use this for s that we expect to be spelt right.
please check your spelling first.
thanks!)
The eleven Southern states, which were attempting to secede from the union (known as the United States of America) to form their own union (to be known as the Confederate States of America).
(to whoever wrote 2: secede is the correct word and it is spelled correctly. In addition, spelt is a form of grain - I think you wanted "spelled.")
An Extension on the :
The Confederate States of America (AKA The Confederacy//The Southern states) fought against the Union States (loosely also known as the "Northern States").
Confederate States consisted of: South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Texas, Virginia, Arkansas, Tennessee, North Carolina.
O 3 O2:The union eventually let the African-Americans fight in the 54th - Massecusetts, the first black regiment. They attacked Fort Wegener, a southern fort, where the Regiment Leader, Robert Shaw, commanded them. He was killed, along with 60% of the regiment. The other 40% was forced into slavery. Pres. Lincoln then allowed all blacks to participate in the Civil War, after the 54th Massechusetts almost captured the fort by themselves.What US Army bases are in Korea?
Can't attest that this is a complete list, and I may be mistaken in saying that some of these are still active... a lot has changed in the last ten years since I was there, but, last I knew, these were the posts still active:
- Camp Red Cloud
- Yongsan Garrison
- Camp Carrol
- Camp Castle
- Camp Sears
- Camp Mobile
Additionally, there are the United Nations installations of Camp Liberty Bonifas and Camp Bonifas (which are adjoined), which house the United Nations Council Security Battalion. The only Army installation which was north of the Imjin River was Camp Greaves (where I was stationed during my time in Korea), which was approximately one mile from the DMZ. It, and several other camps (including Camp Gator, Camp Garry Owen, and several others) were deactivated from 04 - 05 and turned over to the South Korean government.
Commander of the us naval forces in the pacific during World War 2?
Admiral Chester W. Nimitz was CINCPAC (Commander in Chief Pacific) from just after the Pearl Harbor attack, throughout the rest of the war. Nimitz wore two hats - he was the head of the US Navy in the Pacific, and, he was a Theater Commander. The Pacific was divided into two Theaters of Operations. The Central Pacific theater, and all Allied personnel in it, were under Nimitz. Army General Douglas MacArthur commanded the Southwest Pacific Theater of Operations, and all Allied personnel there.
From time to time Nimitz had army troops under his command, in his role as Theater Commander.
Similarly, a few times MacArthur had Marines (which are a part of the US Navy) and always had some naval forces under his control.
How do you find a soldier in the seventh Infantry Company B?
During WW2, the typical Infantry Division consisted of 3 Infantry Regiments and 4 artillery battalions and an engineer battalion and other supporting companies. Each Regiment consisted of 12 companies divided into 3 Battalions as follows:
1st Battalion - Companies A, B, C, D
2nd Battalion - Companies E, F, G, H and
3rd Battalion - Companies I, K, L, M (no J).
So, the term "7th Infantry Company" is not correct. A soldier would refer to his unit as:
"Company B, 7th Infantry Regiment"
If the soldier was talking to another soldier within the same division or location, he might shorten it to say: "7th Infantry, Company B". Here he implies a regiment and the comma(,) seperates the two levels of command. So your Question is not really Incorrect, but it needed some clarification for some readers.
Also, Company B was in the 1st Battalion, so any reference to "1st Battalion, 7th Infantry Regiment" would include his company. The Battalion was commanded by a Colonel and is the basic unit used in combat. So many histories will refer to the battalions and not the companies.
AnswerThe 7th Infantry Regiment was part of the 3rd Infantry Division. This unit saw combat in Italy and fought at Anzio until July 1944 and then landed in Southern France in Aug 1944.There is a unit history on the 3rd Infantry Division that was printed in 1947 or so. Recently, it has been re-printed by Battery Press. It is a very large book and it is unique to most unit histories in that it contains an extensive roster of the soldiers who served in this unit. I would recommend that you contact your library and ask for an inter-library loan for this book. This book may have his name in it.
The 7th Infantry Regiment were known as the "Cotton Balers". This unit is a descendant of a unit that fought at the Battle of New Orleans in the War of 1812 and they used cotton bales to fortify their position.
I wouldn't mind looking through it for your soldier's name.

How did American soldiers feel about being in Vietnam?
typically a vietcong soldier had undying loyalty to his cause and he would never surender and he would sooner die then let the U.S prevail. The reason behind this is because unlike the NVA who forced most of their army into service the vietcong was a seperate militia that was not apart of the NVA conventional millitary. The vietcong wasn't much differnt then the insurgents in the middle east today. They were mostly radicals who voulentered to be in the Vietcong. And any soldeirs who joined and were not Loyal enough for the officers liking were executed. But this was usally never the case. One reason this was, because the Vietcong was vastly made up of children that were as young as twelve, and had been basically brainwashed into having undying loyalty the the Vietcong cause.

The Congress re-raised the army for the war of 1812 and Mexican-American War from 1846-1848.
Once again for the Civil War Congress called up the state militias to form an army.
It was not until the late 19th / early 20th century that the current standing army was formed.

What were the strength and weaknesses of the colonial army?
The British seemed unbeatable. During the previous 100 years, the British had enjoyed triumph after triumph over nations as powerful as France and Spain. At first glance, the odds were clearly against the Americans. A closer look provides insight into how the underdogs emerged victorious. Britain's military was the best in the world. Their soldiers were well equipped, well disciplined, well paid, and well fed. The British navy dominated the seas. Funds were much more easily raised by the Empire than by the Continental Congress.
