The Hatfields and McCoys is a family feud built upon many factors. It was a feud over mainly family pride, and it involved alot of violence. The feud mainly happened in the 1800's; that was the origin date of the feud. However, the feud still occurs to this day and is still very heated at times. The original families were very loyal and would kill for each other, and this was the main cause of this decade-long feud.

After the Civil War, Custer was sent to the west to fight in the Indian Wars. His final battles dominate his prior achievements. Custer and all men with him were killed in the Battle of the Little Bighorn in the year 1876, fighting against Native American tribes in a battle that is to be known in history as "Custer's Last Stand”. According to Custer’s family letters, Custer was named after George Armstrong, who was a minister. Custer was born in New Rumley, Ohio, to Emanuel Henry Custer, a farmer and also a blacksmith, and Marie Ward Kirkpatrick. He had two younger brothers, Thomas Custer and Boston Custer, who died with him on the Battlefield of Little Bighorn. His other siblings were Margaret Custer, and the weak, unhealthy Nevin Custer.

Bonnie and Clyde Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker burst upon the American Southwest in the Great Depression year of 1932. At the time of Clyde’s first involvement in a murder, people paid little attention to the event. He was just another violent hoodlum in a nation with a growing list of brutal criminals, which included Al Capone, John Dillenger, Pretty Boy Floyd, and the Barker Gang. Not until Bonnie and Clyde joined forces did the public become intrigued. The phrase “Bonnie and Clyde'; took on an electrifying and exotic meaning that has abated little in the past sixty years.

The feud meant that they had to keep their relationship under wraps and tip-toe around their families. The ancient grudge between the two families meant that if one member of either family found out about Romeo and Juliet then they would be killed, ‘If they do see thee, they will murder thee.’ The family feud between the Montague and Capulet families could also be held responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet because they both grew up with people dieing within the families because of the grudge. For instance Mercutio and Tybalt, Mercutio was a very loyal friend of Romeo’s and Tybalt was Juliet’s cousin. The deaths of these characters meant that Romeo and Juliet were both distressed and unhappy, and thus could have given more reason to their own deaths, ‘ A’ Thursday let it be, a’ Thursday, tell her,
The event in Appalachian history that holds the greatest notoriety is a fatal family feud that occurred inside the Tug River Valley during the late nineteenth-century. Within this valley was the border between West Virginia and Kentucky and two families resided here, the Hatfields from West Virginia and the McCoys of Kentucky. This feud may be the most notorious and familiar to Americans, but many are unaware of the truth, which is masked by the legends and myths surrounding it. This embellished and folkloric version of the feud is portrayed in books, television, and movies until this day, despite the emergence of the accurate works of historians on the true events of the feud.

On the run leaving stores and banks empty and the police right on their tail. This is how possibly the most well known crime duo lived in the 1930’s. Going town to town and business to business looking to find their next big score. All with the cops always being one step behind and struggling to figure out the duo’s next move. This is the rough and interesting life of Bonnie and Clyde and the barrow gang.
I continued to search through familysearch.org for more information on the childhood of my subject. The next source on the website that I was able to come up with was a census record from 1900. At the time of this census, Stephenson would have been 13 years old. According to the census, the Stephenson family was residing in Galva, Illinois at this time, and the members of his household included his mother Caroline, 3 boys, Edwin, along with his two older brothers Frank and Joseph, and 2 girls, Edwin’s sisters Mamie and Elsie. There was also one more person named Frank Sandell listed as a “boarder.” I would later discover, in the 1930 census, that this was the uncle of Edwin. Apparently Edwin’s father Charles had died at some point from his birth in 1887 to this census in 1900, because the census states that...
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict derived from the Zionist population. The Zionist wanted to colonize a piece of land that could be considered the Jewish homeland. As they immigrated to different parts of Europe, they eventually landed in Palestine. In the beginning, the Zionist's immigration was not a problem to the people that were already living in Palestine. But the problems presented themselves because the Zionists decided to take over Palestine, and turn it into a Jewish state. As the years went on and the wars continued, majority of Palestine was conquered by Israel. And as a result of the wars, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has remained prevalent throughout history.
“Throughout Domitian’s early years and adolescents, the family’s status remained high, but progress was most marked in the 60s.'; (Jones, 1992) One example of the family’s good fortune was that they inherited a great deal of money. This allowed them to gain access to the imperial court, as well as granting them senatorial rank. In order to accomplish this four different families became one family which enabled Domitian to gain power. “Domitian’s brother Titus, now in his mid-twenties, found a suitable wife in Arrecina Tertulla and it seems that Domitian’s first cousin Sabinus the third had also married into the same family, selecting one of Arrecina’s sisters. Unfortunately, Arrecina soon died and Titus sought a second wife. Marcia Furnilla, daughter or niece of Vespasian’s amicus Barea Soranus, was an excellent choice, with consular senators in her father’s and mother’s family.'; (Jones, 1992)
