Scalping - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views

en.wikipedia.org/Scalping

shared by Cesar Monterroso on 12 Mar 10 - Cached
  • Scalping is the act of removing another person's scalp or a portion of their scalp. It can be done to someone after death, or on someone alive, in which case it may or may not be deadly. Scalping is applied to provide a portable proof or trophy of prowess in war.[citation needed] Scalping is also associated with frontier warfare in North America, and was practiced by Native Americans, colonists, and frontiersmen over centuries of violent conflict. William Brandon and Keith Rosenberg, Native American specialists state that some Mexican (e.g. Sonora and Chihuahua) and American territories (e.g. Arizona) paid bounty for enemy Native American scalps.[1] Contrary to formerly popular beliefs, scalping was far from universal amongst Native Americans.[2]

  • A constitution is a set of rules for government—often codified as a written document—that enumerates and limits the powers and functions of a political entity. These rules together make up, i.e. constitute, what the entity is. In the case of countries and autonomous regions of federal countries the term refers specifically to a constitution defining the fundamental political principles, and establishing the structure, procedures, powers and duties, of a government. By limiting the government's own reach, most constitutions guarantee certain rights to the people.

    Henry was born in Studley, Hanover County, Virginia on May 29, 1736.[3] His father was John Henry, an immigrant from Aberdeenshire, Scotland, who had attended King's College, Aberdeen before immigrating to the Colony of Virginia in the 1720s

    According to biographer Richard Beeman, the legend of this speech grew more dramatic over the years. Henry probably did not say the famous last line of the above quote, i.e. "If this be treason, make the most of it."

    Henry served as a representative to the Virginia convention of 1788 that ratified the U. S. Constitution. He voted against ratification.

    Henry first made a name for himself in a case dubbed the "Parson's Cause" (1763), which was an argument about whether the price of tobacco paid to clergy for their services should be set by the colonial government or by the Crown. After the British Parliament overruled Virginia's Two Penny Act that had limited the clergy's salaries, the Reverend James Maury filed suit against the vestry of Louisa County for payment of back wages.
