Some tribes held people as captive slaves late in the 19th century for instance "Ute Woman" was a Ute captured by the Arapaho and later sold to a Cheyenne She was kept by the Cheyenne to be used as a prostitute to serve American soldiers at Cantonment in the Indian Territory She lived in slavery until about 1880 She died of a hemorrhage resulting from "excessive sexual intercourse"! Before the secession of Texas Mexico comprised almost 1,700,000 sq mi (4,400,000 km2) but by 1849 it was just under 800,000 square miles (2,100,000 km2) Another 30,000 square miles (78,000 km2) were sold to the U.S in the Gadsden Purchase of 1853 so the total reduction of Mexican territory was more than 55% or 900,000 square miles (2,300,000 km2), Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions, States admitted to the Union When the Second Continental Congress convened on May 10 1775 it essentially reconstituted the First Congress Many of the same 56 delegates who attended the first meeting participated in the second.

Advanced degrees and apprenticeships The Declaration of Independence was drafted largely by Thomas Jefferson and presented by the committee; it was unanimously adopted by the entire Congress on July 4 and each of the colonies became independent and autonomous the next step was to form a union to facilitate international relations and alliances! Elections are influenced by many variables Some political scientists speculate there is a coattail effect (when a popular president or party position has the effect of reelecting incumbents who win by "riding on the president's coattails") although there is some evidence that the coattail effect is irregular and possibly declining since the 1950s. Some districts are so heavily Democratic or Republican that they are called a safe seat; any candidate winning the primary will almost always be elected and these candidates do not need to spend money on advertising. But some races can be competitive when there is no incumbent If a seat becomes vacant in an open district then both parties may spend heavily on advertising in these races; in California in 1992 only four of twenty races for House seats were considered highly competitive. Demobilization and resignation Washington D.C. Business Directory In 1846 relations between the two countries had deteriorated considerably and on April 23 1846 the president of Mexico issued a proclamation declaring Mexico's intent to fight a "defensive war" against the encroachment of the United States. On April 25 1846 two thousand Mexican cavalry crossed into the disputed territory and routed a small detachment of American soldiers sparking the "Thornton Affair". Polk received word of the Thornton Affair which added to the Mexican government's rejection of Slidell Polk believed constituted a casus belli. His message to Congress on May 11 1846 claimed that "Mexico has passed the boundary of the United States has invaded our territory and shed American blood upon American soil.", See also: Annapolis Convention (1786) and the Federalist Papers Across the South white legislatures enacted harsh new laws to curtail the already limited rights of African Americans Virginia prohibited blacks free or slave from practicing preaching prohibited blacks from owning firearms and forbade anyone to teach slaves or free blacks how to read it specified heavy penalties for both student and teacher if slaves were educated including whippings or jail. Nevertheless incumbent members of Congress running for reelection have strong advantages over challengers. They raise more money because donors fund incumbents over challengers perceiving the former as more likely to win and donations are vital for winning elections. One critic compared being elected to Congress to receiving life tenure at a university. Another advantage for representatives is the practice of gerrymandering. After each ten-year census states are allocated representatives based on population and officials in power can choose how to draw the congressional district boundaries to support candidates from their party As a result reelection rates of members of Congress hover around 90 percent, causing some critics to accuse them of being a privileged class. Academics such as Princeton's Stephen Macedo have proposed solutions to fix gerrymandering in the U.S Both senators and representatives enjoy free mailing privileges called franking privileges; while these are not intended for electioneering this rule is often skirted by borderline election-related mailings during campaigns.
