Ayon sa liham ni Dr. Jose Rizal Kay Dr. Ferdinand Blumentritt, ang mga layunin nya ay ang mga sumusunod:Matugon ang paninirang puring ipinaratang ng mga Kastila sa mga Pilipino at sa bansa.Maiulat ang kalagayang panlipunan, uri ng pamumuhay, mga paniniwala, pag-asa, mithiin o adhikain, karaingan at kalungkutan.Maihayag ang maling paggamit ng relihiyon na ginagawang dahilan o sangkalan sa paggawa ng masama.Maipaliwanag ang pagkakaiba ng tunay sa di-tunay na relihiyon.Mailantad ang kasamaang nakakubli sa karingalan ng pamahalaan.Mailarawan ang mga kamaliaan, masasamang hilig, kapintasan at kahirapan sa buhay.


What started the Hatfield-McCoy feud?

The Hatefield-McCoy feud began with the murder of Asa Harmon McCoy on January 7, 1865. Jim Vance, the uncle of Devil Anse Hatfield, despised Harmon because he had joined the Union Army during the American Civil War. When Harmon returned home from the war, he was warned that Devil Anse's Wildcats (Hatfields) were going to kill him. Frightened, Harmon hid in a nearby cave, but the Wildcats discovered Harmon and shot him fatally. Further violence occurred between the two families throughout the following years.Well they started just for confidence ........ i think .......... i was trying to find out that answer to. Don't pressure me I'm only 11.The mccoy and hatfiel feud was about two mccoy and a hatfield that served in the civil war and the mccoy brothers were not rascist like the hatfield was so they killed a mccoy for associating with a black person so the other mccoy killed him and that's when it started not with a pig that a hatfield stole off of randolf mccoyWrong on several points. Yes, the Hatfields did fight for the confederacy, because the McCoys were already fighting for the union. The feud, however, started long before that. Old man McCoy, Randolph by name, sparked up to a little lady named Mary Elizabeth. She, however, chose Eperson Hatfield. McCoy hounded them, and they constantly moved away because 'big ep' had promised her he would not fight Randolph.However, Mary died and Big Ep died 6 months later. Their eldest son, William Anderson, was short. That included both his stature and temper. His nickname was 'Devil Anse'. Randolph saw a chance, sold them a pig. Then claimed they stold it. In court, the Hatfields won. Randolph and his sons waylaid the 12 year old son of Williams. They tied him to a tree and stabbed him repeatedly. It took him three days to die.Devil Anse proceded to begin the fued. One of his brothers, John Granville, told him to let the law handle it. When the fighting began, John took his family away--he only had one son. They were still drawn into the feud but not for lack of trying to stay out of it.Anyhow, Devil Anse and his other sons proceded to go to Randolph's cabin, take his wife out of the cabin, then burn it down with several of his young sons in it. As you can tell, neither of these men who began the feud were saints.'Legend' goes that the fued ended when one of Devil Anse's sons married a McCoy girl. Well, not true, even though the families did inter-marry, the female joined her husbands side of the feud. Incidently, the marriage named ended in divorce.The feud ended on the western side of the Mississippi in 1973 when the patriarch of the Hatfields, William Riley Hatfield, met with the patriarch of the McCoys in Silver City, New Mexico. They declared peace for their side of the river and that peace still stands today even if the hard feelings continue.Over on the other side of the river, on the publics perception, the feud is good natured fun. Down deeper, politics play a greater role than guns. Which, in itself, is much like the story of the United States itself. A bloody beginning between enemies, to a nasty political fight between parties. And neither being guiltless.An interesting note; during the time period when the miners were trying to organize a union for the coal mines in Kentucky, a hatfield and a mccoy fought together to bring the union into existence, and were murdered together on the front steps of a courthouse, in front of their wives. Because of their deaths, the miners united and brought the union into being. Their story is told in the book, "Fire on the Mountain", and it is worth the read.


What is an effect of the transcontinental railroad?

On May 10, 1869, as the last spike was driven in the Utah desert, the blows were heard across the country. Telegraph wires wrapped around spike and sledgehammer transmitted the impact instantaneously east and west. In San Francisco and New York, wires had been connected to cannons facing outward across the ocean. When the signal from the spike came through, the cannons fired. The world was put on notice: the transcontinental railroad was completed and America was moving to the forefront of the world's stage.The World Grew SmallerOne day later, the first transcontinental freight train rumbled out of California on its way to the east coast. It carried in its hold an emissary of the Asian markets: a shipment of Japanese teas. On May 15, though the road required hundreds of thousands of dollars in patchwork along its length, regular passenger service opened for business. Travelers could make the trip between San Francisco and New York in a week. No longer did passengers or cargo have to take the treacherous route across ocean and Panama that had killed railroad advocate Theodore Judah. The coasts were connected -- and the world as Americans knew it had grown smaller.A Competing CanalRailroad pioneer Asa Whitney had once dreamed an iron route would re-center the world toward America, making it a conduit of exchange between Asia and Europe. In this sense, his vision of the grand project remained unfulfilled. Just six months after the meeting at Promontory Summit, workers half the world away consummated their own monumental feat of engineering. Opened in November, 1869, Egypt's Suez Canal linked Asia and India to Europe by a single waterway, thus ensuring that exchange between the two regions would continue to circumvent American soil.
