The Act Improves Our Counter-Terrorism Efforts in Several Significant Ways:
1. The Patriot Act allows investigators to use the tools that were already available to investigate organized crime and drug trafficking. Many of the tools the Act provides to law enforcement to fight terrorism have been used for decades to fight organized crime and drug dealers, and have been reviewed and approved by the courts. As Sen. Joe Biden (D-DE) explained during the floor debate about the Act, "the FBI could get a wiretap to investigate the mafia, but they could not get one to investigate terrorists. To put it bluntly, that was crazy! What's good for the mob should be good for terrorists." (Cong. Rec., 10/25/01)

What did Carthage do to make Rome hate them so much?
Carthage's destruction was an act of Roman aggression motivated as much by vengeance for previous battles as by avarice for the rich farming lands surrounding the city. The Carthaginian loss was complete and devastating, creating terror and horror in Rome's adversaries and allies alike.
Why did the Punic Wars start?
The direct cause of the war was the conflict over the sovereignty of Messana, an independent Sicilian city-state (modern Messina). Carthage and Rome went to war in 264 BC, beginning the First Punic War.
Result: Roman victory, destruction of Carthage
Date: 264 BC – 146 BC

Please Help. Write an essay on describing how Americans generally felt about themselves and their place in the world in the early 1800s? Explain why they felt this way and which Americans might have thought differently?
Colonial America saw the dream realized in the interaction among classes. People of the time wrote
about the new experience of equality. Employees could speak openly to their employers and believed
that with dedication they could improve their status. During westward expansion, the American Dream
led many to race for land and live rugged lives on the frontier. By nature of their hard work, they could
set down roots on a piece of the expansive land open to homesteaders and pioneers. This idea of the
American Dream was rather competitive and individualistic—people fought others to own a piece of
land for themselves. In the early twentieth century, Americans discovered a shared dream in which
citizens worked together to make life better for the American masses. Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s
(FDR’s) New Deal programs promised safe, healthy futures for every American—a new
understanding of the American Dream.
Many people who encouraged Americans to get involved in World War II did so believing that people
all over the world deserved their chance to realize the American Dream. Participating in the war
allowed Americans to put their national concept of idealism on display for the world. Americans fighting in the war were fighting for the preservation of the American Dream, which was summed up by FDR
as the possession of four essential freedoms: freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom from
want, and freedom from fear. People who could feed their families, keep them safe, worship as they
pleased, and say how they felt were living the American Dream, he said.
After World War II, men returned from the war with a new American Dream in mind. Americans
fantasized about homes filled with happy families who vacationed every summer. Veterans used the
GI Bill to obtain low-interest mortgages on homes, resulting in a building boom and the creation of
suburbs across the United States. The American Dream became closely tied to home ownership, and
the American marketplace filled up with products to help improve life at home.
The American Dream transformed into an ideal that relied on people being able to afford all the
modern accessories: cars, television sets, and college educations for one’s children. Television
greatly helped define the American Dream as the acquisition of material goods. Americans dream of
living ideal lives like those portrayed in shows such as Leave It to Beaver and Father Knows Best.
Many Americans fueled their purchase of the new American Dream with credit cards, a choice that
eventually affected the state of the American Dream.
