What were the main pieces of the Hamiltonian economic plan?</p>

<p>I was thinking more along hte lines of Henry Cabot Lodge.. </p>

<p>But.. Hamilton proposed a national financial system that would legitimize the federal government and establish a respected American financial system. Its key aspects was a national bank, a protective tariff, excise taxes, and the assumption of all state debt.</p>

<p>regarding nash's question, you could include 1840, 1860, 1880, 1900, 1920, 1940 and 1960...they were all shot or died, Tecumseh's Curse. Atleast, until Reagan survived being shot(he was elected 1980), maybe Bush will get shot.</p>

<p>Sooo...Who was Tecumseh?</p>

<p>tecumseh...he was the "Prophet" of the Indians in Mississippi...killed by William Henry Harrison during the Battle of Tippicanoe during War of 1812......and he supposedly left the curse on WHH and every President to be elected in a multiple of 20.</p>

<p>the american revolutionary war. he captured a bunch of forts up in the old northwest.</p>

<p>what did the potsdam, yalta, tehran, and casablanca conferences accomplish (as in what did each separately accomplish)?</p>

<p>wow, thats in depth...I read them all today...but I can't remember specifics.
They were all Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin. In one they agreed to send troops to North Africa, another they agreed to open a second front in Europe, at one of them Stalin promised to go to Japan, they talked about the UN some...but like i said, i don't remember which is what and don't feel like looking it up, ha.</p>

<p>It goes Casablanca, Tehran, Yalta, and Potsdam.</p>

<p>At Casablanca, Stalin was not present. Roosevelt and Churchill decided upon the idea of "unconditional surrender."</p>

<p>At Tehran, the Big Three were all together for the first time. It was decided that the second front would be opened by attacking Italy.</p>

<p>At Yalta, Stalin agreed upon a date where he would enter the Pacific War. Roosevelt made several concessions to Stalin, including Soviet occupation of eastern Europe with the believe that free elections would be held.</p>

<p>At Potsdam, the only member of the original Big Three to be represented was Stalin. Great Britain had Clement Atlee and the United States had Harry Truman. It was here that the ultimatum was issued to Japan - "surrender or be destroyed."</p>

<p>Should be good enough :)</p>
