The issue of campaign financing has been discussed for a long time. Running for office especially a higher office is not a cheap event. Candidates must spend much for hiring staff, renting office space, buying ads etc. Where does the money come from?

So if the candidate is not extremely rich himself the funding must come from donations from individuals, party committees, and PACs
Election of 1860: How Could Lincoln Have Lost the Election The election of 1860 brought a dramatic change to politics. The country had already been divided by the Northern states and Southern states.

Napoleon spent the next seven years reading the works of the philosophers, and educating himself in military matters by studying the campaigns of the great military leaders of the past.

Both sides launched an aggressive propaganda campaign to galvanize public support, and some of these nation’s foremost intellectuals, artists, and filmmakers became warriors on that front.

the West was ?won?? For hundreds of years the early stories of the United States have been summed up by the expression, ?How the West was won.? The classic cowboy and Indian films have always portrayed the white settlers moving across America?s plains and mountains to be innocent at heart in their journeys to search for gold or save souls.

Joan’s letter to the king of England in 1429 and her role in the battle at Orleans played a symbolic role and affected the French’s success in the Hundred Years’ War by increasing French spirits and showing the weakness of the English.

Introduction: Identifying the problems of teaching complex literature One of the most pressing matters facing teachers of English and literature is how to teach complex literary works, such as those written in Old and Middle English.

In journalist George Orwell’s book Politics and the English Language he argues that politicians have adapted a “mixture of vagueness and sheer incompetence” in “any kind of political writing.” [Orwell] Trump’s campaign relied heavily on the vague, emotive slogans and phrases that Orwell deplored so intensely. “Make America great again” is the most infamous

On 17 February 2017, the English singer-songwriter Mike Rosenberg, better known as Passenger, released a short song which lyrics concerned Donald Trump’s recently acquired presidency. Despite the fact that he had never before felt the need to write such a political song, Rosenburg argues on his website, he does feel that it is everyone’s responsibility - as well as basic right - to speak about the things that they believe in (Rosenberg, 2017).
