I was wondering where did you find the majority of sources for this book? Also I am having a difficult time tying slavery into the reasons for migration. Is there anyway you could explain this for me.I know its alot to ask but I would greatly appreciate it. Hello Dr. Cashin

In no way could anybody fathom a world without the Panama Canal. Its benefits have been reaped for nearly a century now and I believe its future benefits may be even grander due to the world's current state of urgency and mass transit.

In fact, the U.S. Constitution mentions in Article 2, Section 3 that the President shall “from time to time give to Congress information of the State of the Union.” George Washington and John Adams gave their State of Union Address in person but Presidents like Jefferson sent the address in writing and was read by a clerk to Congress.

To learn more about what may be the most influential piece of legislation this country has ever created go to www.nps.gov/home or visit Homestead National Monument of America. Located in Nebraska, the Monument includes one of the first 160 acres homestead claims but tells the story of homesteading throughout the United States. Nearly 4 million claims in 30 states were made under the Homestead Act and 1.6 million or 40 percent were successful. The Homestead Act was not repealed until 1976 and extended in Alaska until 1986. Homesteads could be claimed by “head of households” that were citizens or eligible for citizenship. New immigrants, African-Americans, women who were single, widowed or divorced all took advantage of the Homestead Act. It is estimated that as many as 93 million Americans are descendents of these homesteaders today. This is a story as big, fascinating, conflicted and contradictory as the United States itself.
