States are the primary subdivisions of the United States, and possess a number of powers and rights under the United States Constitution, such as regulating intrastate commerce, running elections, creating local governments, and ratifying constitutional amendments. Each state has its own constitution, grounded in republican principles, and government, consisting of three branches: executive, legislative, and judicial. All states and their residents are represented in the federal Congress, a bicameral legislature consisting of the Senate and the House of Representatives. Each state is represented by two Senators, while Representatives are distributed among the states in proportion to the most recent constitutionally mandated decennial census. Additionally, each state is entitled to select a number of electors to vote in the Electoral College, the body that elects the President of the United States, equal to the total of Representatives and Senators in Congress from that state.Article IV, Section 3, Clause 1 of the Constitution grants to Congress the authority to admit new states into the Union. Since the establishment of the United States in 1776, the number of states has expanded from the original 13 to 50. Each new state has been admitted on an equal footing with the existing states.
Built at a cost of $79.4 million ($724million in today's dollars) the ship is the largest ocean liner constructed entirely in the U.S. and the fastest ocean liner to cross the Atlantic in either direction. Even in her retirement, she retains the Blue Riband, the accolade given to the passenger liner crossing the Atlantic Ocean in regular service with the highest speed.
Her construction was subsidized by the U.S. government, since she was designed to allow conversion to a troopship should the need arise.United States operated uninterrupted in transatlantic passenger service until 1969. Since 1996 she has been docked at Pier 82 on the Delaware River in Philadelphia.
Design and construction
Inspired by the exemplary service of the British liners RMSQueen Mary and Queen Elizabeth, which transported hundreds of thousands of U.S. troops to Europe during World War II, the U.S. government sponsored the construction of a large and fast merchant vessel that would be capable of transporting large numbers of soldiers. Designed by renowned American naval architect and marine engineer William Francis Gibbs (1886–1967), the liner's construction was a joint effort between the United States Navy and United States Lines. The U.S. government underwrote $50 million of the $78 million construction cost, with the ship's operators, United States Lines, contributing the remaining $28 million. In exchange, the ship was designed to be easily converted in times of war to a troopship with a capacity of 15,000 troops, or to a hospital ship .
United States is the first full length hard rock collaborative album between hard rock guitar virtuoso Paul Gilbert and singer Freddie Nelson. The collaboration has been described as a cross between Queen and Mr. Big.
In 1881, after the Confederacy purchased the Mexican states of Chihuahua and Sonora, President James G. Blaine of the United States declared war. With the help of British and French forces, the Confederate States again defeat the United States in the Second Mexican War, forcing the latter to cede a portion of northern Maine to the Canadian province of New Brunswick. After this defeat, the United States turned to Germany for military assistance and training, and the national mood of the U.S. changed to desire of revenge against the enemies that surrounded the U.S.—Canada, from where Britain invaded the U.S., and the Confederacy.

Lake Poets and the Cockney school poets| Lake School and Cockney Poets - Literature Guide
This new video is about the two most important terms 'Lake Poets' and 'Cockney Poets' who were criticized in the Edinburgh Review and the Quarterly Review. It was actually a clash between the two schools- the Classical and the Romantic. This video dives into details of the two terms.
It was in the “Edinburgh Review”, the term ‘Lake Poets’ was employed for the romantic poets like William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge and Robert Southey. The name of Thomas De Quincey has also been added to this group of poets. These first generation romantic poets were addressed as the ‘Lake Poets’ because they were residing in the Lake District in northwest of England.

The lecture introduces the poetry of Ezra Pound. Tensions in Pound's personality and career are considered, particularly in terms of his relationships with other poets and his fascism and anti-capitalism. The poem "The Seafarer" is examined as a quintessentially Poundian project in its treatment and translation of poetic forms.

Lake Poets and the Cockney school poets| Lake School and Cockney Poets - Literature Guide
This new video is about the two most important terms 'Lake Poets' and 'Cockney Poets' who were criticized in the Edinburgh Review and the Quarterly Review. It was actually a clash between the two schools- the Classical and the Romantic. This video dives into details of the two terms.
It was in the “Edinburgh Review”, the term ‘Lake Poets’ was employed for the romantic poets like William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge and Robert Southey. The name of Thomas De Quincey has also been added to this group of poets. These first generation romantic poets were addressed as the ‘Lake Poets’ because they were residing in the Lake District in northwest of England.
The Edinburgh Review was the mouthpiece of the Whig Party and it was formed by Sidney Smith and Francis Jeffrey in 1802. Francis Jeffrey stated, “The Review, in short, has but two legs to stand upon. Literature, no doubt, is one of them; and its Right leg is Politics.”
Francis Jeffrey attacked William Wordsworth’s famous work “The Excursion” which was to become the second book of the great work “The Recluse".
The term “Lake Poets” was also in vogue due to Thomas De Quincey’s work “Recollections of the Lake Poets” which appeared in 1834.
In his work “Don Juan” Lord Gordon Byron alluded to the romantic poets as “Lakers”.
The Cockney school is a derogatory term applied by Blackwood’s Magazine to a group of some romantic writers comprising John Keats, William Hazlitt and Leigh Hunt.
The sharp attack indicates the Tory view that those of low breeding would inevitably embrace cockney politics and produce cockney verse.
The Cockney poets were primarily resided in London and they employed false rhymes in their works. It was in 1817, John Lockhart started a sequence of attacks on the Cockney School of Poetry; particularly Leigh was targeted. Leigh Hunt Published John Keats’ work in the radical journal “The Examiner” and he continued to support Keats. John Keats and William Hazlitt were also mocked at by the Blackwood's Magazine.
John Keats’s “Endymion” was brutally attacked in the Blackwood’s magazine in 1818.
Keats’ “Endymion” was also harshly criticized in the “Quarterly Review” by John Croker in 1818. It is still said that Croker’s review hastened the death of the poet.
This is a detailed video on the two terms mentioned above, hope you will like it.
Meet you soon on Saturday with a new interesting video, till then bye!

Lake Poets and the Cockney school poets| Lake School and Cockney Poets - Literature Guide
This new video is about the two most important terms 'Lake Poets' and 'Cockney Poets' who were criticized in the Edinburgh Review and the Quarterly Review. It was actually a clash between the two schools- the Classical and the Romantic. This video dives into details of the two terms.
It was in the “Edinburgh Review”, the term ‘Lake Poets’ was employed for the romantic poets like William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge and Robert Southey. The name of Thomas De Quincey has also been added to this group of poets. These first generation romantic poets were addressed as the ‘Lake Poets’ because they were residing in the Lake District in northwest of England.
The Edinburgh Review was the mouthpiece of the Whig Party and it was formed by Sidney Smith and Francis Jeffrey in 1802. Francis Jeffrey stated, “The Review, in short, has but two legs to stand upon. Literature, no doubt, is one of them; and its Right leg is Politics.”
Francis Jeffrey attacked William Wordsworth’s famous work “The Excursion” which was to become the second book of the great work “The Recluse".
The term “Lake Poets” was also in vogue due to Thomas De Quincey’s work “Recollections of the Lake Poets” which appeared in 1834.
In his work “Don Juan” Lord Gordon Byron alluded to the romantic poets as “Lakers”.
The Cockney school is a derogatory term applied by Blackwood’s Magazine to a group of some romantic writers comprising John Keats, William Hazlitt and Leigh Hunt.
The sharp attack indicates the Tory view that those of low breeding would inevitably embrace cockney politics and produce cockney verse.
The Cockney poets were primarily resided in London and they employed false rhymes in their works. It was in 1817, John Lockhart started a sequence of attacks on the Cockney School of Poetry; particularly Leigh was targeted. Leigh Hunt Published John Keats’ work in the radical journal “The Examiner” and he continued to support Keats. John Keats and William Hazlitt were also mocked at by the Blackwood's Magazine.
John Keats’s “Endymion” was brutally attacked in the Blackwood’s magazine in 1818.
Keats’ “Endymion” was also harshly criticized in the “Quarterly Review” by John Croker in 1818. It is still said that Croker’s review hastened the death of the poet.
This is a detailed video on the two terms mentioned above, hope you will like it.
Meet you soon on Saturday with a new interesting video, till then bye!

America Remembers 9/11 | PBS NewsHour http://to.pbs.org/mVBUK4
Billy Collins was the U.S. poet laureate at the time of the 9/11 attacks. A year later, he wrote "The Names" in honor of the victims. He read the poem before a special joint session of Congress held in New York City in 2002, and reads it again now.
Modern Poetry (ENGL 310) with Langdon Hammer
The lecture introduces the poetry of Ezra Pound. Tensions in Pound's personality and career are considered, particularly in terms of his relationships with other poets and his fascism and anti-capitalism. The poem "The Seafarer" is examined as a quintessentially Poundian project in its treatment and translation of poetic forms. The first Canto of his epic project, The Cantos, is analyzed as a meditation on the process of expressing and engaging with history and literary tradition.
