Hayes was elected President by one electoral vote after the highly disputed election of 1876. Losing the popular vote to his opponent, Samuel Tilden, Hayes was the only president whose election was decided by a congressional commission. During his otherwise uneventful presidency, he ordered federal troops to suppress The Great Railroad Strike of 1877 and he ended the Reconstruction. <img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2b/500-2f.jpg"> While commanding the 23rd Regiment of the Ohio Volunteer Infantry, Hayes met William McKinley Jr., who would later become the 25th President of the United States.

In his first term, Wilson persuaded a Democratic Congress to pass the Federal Reserve Act,[3] Federal Trade Commission, the Clayton Antitrust Act, the Federal Farm Loan Act and America's first-ever federal progressive income tax in the Revenue Act of 1913. Wilson brought many white Southerners into his administration, and tolerated their expansion of segregation in many federal agencies. <img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/53/US100000dollarsbillobverse.jpg"><img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e3/Mustela_nivalis_-British_Wildlife_Centre-4.jpg"> Use of the passive voice Certain weasel words require a sentence to be in the passive voice—e.g., "It has been said that ...". The passive voice does not, on its own, identify who stands behind the opinions or actions it describes. Expressions such as "it has been said that A is B" and "A is thought to be B" create a convincing-sounding appeal to authority without naming the authority in question. In addition, although the passive voice is syntactically correct, Strunk and White, in The Elements of Style (1918), recommend that it be used sparingly, calling it "less direct, less bold, and less concise" than the active voice. On the other hand, AP Stylebook and the Chicago Manual of Style contradict Strunk & White on this point. Most critically, editors should not use passive voice constructs to avoid attributing words or actions to the appropriate speaker or subject, or to omit any other important detail from a sentence.

On Wikipedia, the term refers to evasive, ambiguous or misleading attribution.</a> Weasel words can present an apparent force of authority seemingly supporting statements without allowing the reader to decide whether the source of the opinion is reliable, or they can call into question a statement. If a statement cannot stand without weasel words, it does not express a neutral point of view; either a source for the statement should be found, or the statement should be removed. If, on the other hand, a statement can stand without such words, their inclusion may undermine its neutrality, and the statement will generally be better off without them. <img src="http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/bb-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_rolleyes.gif" title=":roll:" class="bb_smilies" /> <img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/11/Weasel_words.svg/2000px-Weasel_words.svg.png"> <img src="http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/bb-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_cool.gif" title="8)" class="bb_smilies" /> <img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/63/USCurrency_Federal_Reserve.jpg"> <img src="http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/bb-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_biggrin.gif" title=":D" class="bb_smilies" /> <img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/70/Standard_Of_The_President_Of_The_United_States_Of_America.svg/2000px-Standard_Of_The_President_Of_The_United_States_Of_America.svg.png"> Greatest Potential on "[WORDS] & AMERICAN PRESIDENTS*" http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/topic/words-american-presidents#post-13184 Wed, 24 Feb 2010 20:44:22 +0000 Greatest Potential 13184@http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/ <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vvy0wRLD5s8&feature=related"><img src="http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/images/h2/h2_97.34.jpg"> Animaniacs ~ Presidents</a> leoNard on "[WORDS] & AMERICAN PRESIDENTS*" http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/topic/words-american-presidents#post-13117 Sat, 20 Feb 2010 00:19:11 +0000 leoNard 13117@http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/ <a href="http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=35594">Secession in the Air </a><img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/42/Spanking_Douglas.jpg">~~~Uncle Sam: Right!

From the book "The Glorious Burden" by Stefan Lorant ~~~~~~~~~Position on Slavery For a century and a half, historians have debated whether or not Douglas opposed slavery,[ Nichols (1956)] and whether or not he was a trimmer and compromiser or a devotee of principles. <img src="http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/bb-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_redface.gif" title=":oops:" class="bb_smilies" /> Douglas married into a slaveholding family (as did Lincoln and Ulysses S. Grant), but the issue is whether he supported slavery as a matter of public policy. In his "Freeport Doctrine" of 1858 he repeatedly insisted that he did not care whether slavery was voted up or down, but only that the people had the right to vote it up or down. He denounced as sacrilegious and undemocratic the petitions signed by thousands of clergymen in 1854 who said the Nebraska Act offended God's will.[23] He rejected the Republican notions that slavery was condemned by a "higher law" (Seward's position) or that the nation could not long survive half slave and half free (Lincoln's position). He disagreed with the Supreme Court's Dred Scott decision that Congress had to protect slavery in the territories, regardless of what the people there thought. When Buchanan supported the Lecompton Constitution and thus adopted the pro-slavery position on Kansas, Douglas fought him relentlessly in a long battle that gave Douglas the 1860 Democratic nomination but ripped his party apart. Historian Allan Nevins was harsh on Douglas, "When it [slavery] paid it was good," wrote Nevins, "and when it did not pay it was bad." Nevins consequently judged that Douglas did not "regard a slaveholding society as one whit inferior to a free society." All in all, Nevins rather brutally assessed what he called Douglas's "dim moral perceptions." <img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/2e/StephenADouglas.png">Stephen Arnold Douglas (April 23, 1813 – June 3, 1861), son of Stephen Arnold Douglass and Sarah Fisk, was an American politician from the western state of Illinois, and was the Democratic Party nominee for President in 1860.

Émile Zola was an influential French novelist, the most important example of the literary school of naturalism, and a major figure in the political liberalization of France.<img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/bc/Georg_Wilhelm_Friedrich_Hegel00.jpg"> <img src="http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/bb-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_biggrin.gif" title=":D" class="bb_smilies" /> Dialectics is based around three (or four) basic metaphysical concepts: 1.Everything is transient and finite, existing in the medium of time (this idea is not accepted by some dialecticians). 2.Everything is made out of opposing forces/opposing sides (contradictions). 3.Gradual changes lead to turning points, where one force overcomes the other (quantitative change leads to qualitative change). 4.Change moves in spirals (or helixes), not circles. (Sometimes referred to as "negation of the negation") Within this broad qualification, dialectics has a rich and varied history.

Classical philosophy The term "dialectic" owes much of its prestige to its role in the philosophy of Socrates and Plato. According to Aristotle,[([fr. 65], Diog. IX 25ff and VIII 57) ] it was Zeno of Elea who 'invented' dialectic. In classical philosophy, dialectic (Greek: διαλεκτική) is a form of reasoning based on the exchange of arguments and counter-arguments, advocating propositions (theses) and counter-propositions (antitheses). The outcome of such an exchange might be the refutation of one of the relevant points of view, or a synthesis or combination of the opposing assertions, or at least a qualitative transformation in the direction of the dialogue. In Dialectics of Nature, Engels states, <blockquote> Probably the same gentlemen who up to now have decried the transformation of quantity into quality as mysticism and incomprehensible transcendentalism will now declare that it is indeed something quite self-evident, trivial, and commonplace, which they have long employed, and so they have been taught nothing new. But to have formulated for the first time in its universally valid form a general law of development of nature, society, and thought, will always remain an act of historic importance.</blockquote> leoNard on "[WORDS] & AMERICAN PRESIDENTS*" http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/topic/words-american-presidents#post-12804 Fri, 22 Jan 2010 23:31:47 +0000 leoNard 12804@http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/ Franklin Pierce was born in a log cabin in Hillsborough, New Hampshire, on November 23, 1804, the first future U.S. president to be born in the nineteenth centuryIn fall 1820, he entered Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine, where he participated in literary, political, and debating clubs.

Known as "Old Rough and Ready," Taylor had a 40-year military career in the U.S. Army, serving in the War of 1812, Black Hawk War, and Second Seminole War before achieving fame leading U.S. troops to victory at several critical battles of the Mexican–American War. A Southern slaveholder who opposed the spread of slavery to the territories, he was uninterested in politics but was recruited by the Whig Party as their nominee in the 1848 presidential election. In the election, Taylor defeated the Democratic nominee, Lewis Cass, and became the first U.S. president never to have held any previous elected office. Taylor was also the last southerner to be elected president until Woodrow Wilson. As president, Taylor urged settlers in New Mexico and California to bypass the territorial stage and draft constitutions for statehood, setting the stage for the Compromise of 1850. Taylor died of acute gastroenteritis just 16 months into his term. There were also rumors that Taylor was poisoned with arsenic but such claims have gone unproven.

Polk is noted for his foreign policy successes. He threatened war with Britain then backed away and split the ownership of the Northwest with Britain. He is more famous for leading the nation into the Mexican–American War, in which the US was victorious. He lowered the tariff and established a treasury system that lasted until 1913. A little-known candidate in 1844, he was the first president to retire after a single term without seeking reelection. He died of cholera three months after his term ended. As a Democrat committed to geographic expansion (or Manifest Destiny), he overrode Whig objections and achieved the second-largest expansion of the nation's territory. Polk secured the Oregon Territory (including Washington, Oregon and Idaho), amounting to about 285,000 square miles (738,000 km²). Under the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, which ended the Mexican–American War in 1848, the US purchased 525,000 square miles (1,360,000 km²) of territory in the Southwest and California. <img src="http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/bb-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_lol.gif" title=":lol:" class="bb_smilies" /> <img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9d/1844_Electoral_Map.png">11th president<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/11th_President_of_the_United_States">James K. Polk-From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</a> Polk courted Sarah Childress, and they married on January 1, 1824.[14] Polk was then 28, and Sarah was 20 years old. Through their marriage they had no children. They were married until his death in 1849. During Polk's political career, Sarah was said to assist her husband with his speeches, give him advice on policy matters and was always active in his campaigns. An old story told that Andrew Jackson had encouraged their romance when they began to court.[18] <img src="http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/bb-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_redface.gif" title=":oops:" class="bb_smilies" /> In 1824, Jackson ran for President but was defeated.[19] Though Jackson had won the popular vote, neither he nor any of the other candidates (John Quincy Adams, Henry Clay, and William H. Crawford) had obtained a majority of the electoral vote. The House of Representatives then had to select the verdict; Clay, who had received the least amount of electoral votes and therefore was dropped from the ballot, supported Adams.[19] Clay's support proved to be the deciding factor in the House and Adams was elected President.[19] Adams then offered Clay a position in the Cabinet as Secretary of State.[19] In 1825, Polk ran for the United States House of Representatives for the Tennessee's 6th congressional district.[20] Polk rigorously campaigned in the district. Polk was so active that Sarah began to worry about his health.[20] During the campaign, Polk's opponents said that at the age of 29 Polk was too young for a spot in the House. However, Polk won the election and took his seat in Congress.[20] When Polk arrived in Washington D.C he roomed in a boarding house with some other Tennessee representatives, including Benjamin Burch. Polk made his first major speech on March 13, 1826, in which he said that the Electoral College should be abolished and that the President should be elected by the popular vote.[21] After Congress went into recess in the summer of 1826, Polk returned to Tennessee to see Sarah, and when Congress met again in the autumn, Polk returned to Washington with Sarah. In 1827 Polk was reelected to Congress.[22] In 1828, Jackson ran for President again and during the campaign Polk and Jackson corresponded, with Polk giving Jackson advice on his campaign. With Jackson's victory in the election Polk began to support the administration's position in Congress.[23] During this time, Polk continued to be reelected in the House. In August 1833, after being elected to this fifth term, Polk became the chair of the House Ways and Means Committee. <img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3e/Polk_Dallas_campaign_banner.jpg">When he took office on March 4, 1845, Polk, at 49, became the youngest man at the time to assume the presidency. According to a story told decades later by George Bancroft, Polk set four clearly defined goals for his administration: The reestablishment of the Independent Treasury System. The reduction of tariffs. Acquisition of some or all the Oregon Country. The acquisition of California and New Mexico from Mexico. Pledged to serve only one term, he accomplished all these objectives in just four years. By linking acquisition of new lands in Oregon (with no slavery) and Texas (with slavery), he hoped to satisfy both North and South. During his presidency James K. Polk was known as "Young Hickory" and "The Napoleon of the Stump" for his speaking skills. next--^^^^^^^^^^^^^--- <img src="http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/bb-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_lol.gif" title=":lol:" class="bb_smilies" /> leoNard on "[WORDS] & AMERICAN PRESIDENTS*" http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/topic/words-american-presidents#post-12569 Wed, 06 Jan 2010 20:29:28 +0000 leoNard 12569@http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/ <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XcDeRJ_Osc">Tippecanoe and Tyler Too</a> <img src="http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/bb-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_lol.gif" title=":lol:" class="bb_smilies" /> <img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/cb/VPTyler-news-on-Harrison.jpg">...............

Tenskwatawa convinced the native tribes that they would be protected by the Great Spirit and no harm could befall them if they would rise up against the white settlers. He encouraged resistance by telling the tribes to only pay white traders half of what they owed and to give up all the white man's ways, including their clothing, whiskey, and muskets. <img src="http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/bb-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_eek.gif" title="8O" class="bb_smilies" /> In August 1810 Tecumseh and 400 armed warriors traveled down the Wabash River to meet with Harrison in Vincennes. The warriors were dressed in war paint, and their sudden appearance at first frightened the soldiers at Vincennes. The leaders of the group were escorted to Grouseland where they met Harrison. Tecumseh insisted that the Fort Wayne treaty was illegitimate and argued that no one tribe could sell land without the approval of the other tribes; he asked Harrison to nullify it and warned that Americans should not attempt to settle the lands sold in the treaty. Tecumseh informed Harrison that he had threatened to kill the chiefs who signed the treaty if they carried out its terms, and that his confederation of tribes was growing rapidly. <img src="http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/bb-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_neutral.gif" title=":|" class="bb_smilies" /> Harrison responded by saying that the Miami were the owners of the land and could sell it if they so chose.

After the loss of Detroit, General James Winchester became the commander of the Army of the Northwest and Harrison was offered the rank of brigadier general, which he refused, desiring the sole command of the army. President James Madison removed Winchester and made Harrison the commander on September 17, 1812. Harrison inherited an army of fresh recruits, which he endeavored to drill. Initially he was greatly outnumbered and assumed a defensive posture. He constructed a defensive position at the Maumee rapids on the Maumee River in northwest Ohio in the winter of 1812-13.

Not to take away from Capman911's amusing storyline, I think the single sentence versus multi sentence challenge gives a different literary texture. popzzz on "Use the words in sentences" http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/topic/use-the-words-in-sentences#post-3533 Wed, 07 Jan 2009 23:02:35 +0000 popzzz 3533@http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/ Great job Capman! <img src="http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/bb-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_mrgreen.gif" title=":mrgreen:" class="bb_smilies" />
