S. military needs continued to feed the Canadian economy (Donaghy, 2003)
S. Secretary of State Dean Acheson stated, Canada was simply "the stern daughter of the voice of God" (Hamilton, 2003)
During that time, Roosevelt and King negotiated to form a Permanent Joint Board of Defense, otherwise known as the Ogdensburg Agreement. Additionally during this time, the two leaders combined economic forces with the Hyde Park Agreement, which coordinated the economic war mobilization of the two countries (Hilmer, 1989)
However, before the deal could be completed, Prime Minister King pulled out. Citing skepticism of American motives, and fearing the end result of the absorption of Canada into the United States, King stopped the deal (Jockel, Sokolsky, 1996)

This concept of a defense policy certainly differed from that of the United States. Following World War II, the United States lowered their military personnel, but increased their defense funding of submarines, aircraft, and other vessels (Milford, 1997)
Even though the turbulence between the nations continued, relations were definitely improving. By 1938, United States President Franklin Roosevelt had made a promise to protect Canada in the event of foreign aggression (Thompson, 2003)
Supreme Court's rendering of its decision in Brown v. Board of Education (Brown v. Board of Education, 1954) that overturned the separate but equal standard that had been the law in the United States
From the beginning of United States history, the fate of blacks, in general, and their respective civil rights have been a disputed issue. In nearly every election throughout the history of the republic, race has been a central issue in some form but the change that has occurred in the country relative to the rights of blacks has occurred as a result of the attitudes of national elite, comprised of educated whites, instead of a response to the pressures of the majority (Dye, 2011)
In Brown, the Supreme Court recognized that the separate but equal standard was unreasonable and that blacks must be afforded equal access to the nation's schools in order to be afforded true equal treatment. Beyond Brown the civil rights movement stalled until the early 60s, when President Johnson's Great Society, pushed through a number of significant civil rights bill including the 1964 Civil Rights Bill that brought major changes to the civil rights movement in the United States (Hall, 2005)
The former of these include such prudent tactics as the reduction of the number of military forces in foreign countries (particularly in Asia and in Europe), and canceling a number of military programs that are considered superfluous (such as the Marine Corps F-35 program). Also, a number of tax reforms would also significantly aid the budget deficit, such as halting expenditures and government revenue at 21% of the Gross Domestic Product and reducing current tax brackets to three personal brackets and one corporate rate, with the three tax brackets at 8, 14, and 23% (Carpenter, 2010)
According to Time magazine, Europeans spend nearly $4,000 less per person than the U.S. does on healthcare (Crumley, 2009)
Additional economic recommendations from the aforementioned pair include making concessions in realms of public sensitivity, such as increasing the age for Social Security. In this respect, several of the measures suggested by Simpson and Bowles, were met with outright disapproval in both political and social realms, with neither Republicans, nor Democrats embracing the recommendations (Zakaria, 2011)
As the terms imply, each of these types involves negotiations between the prosecutor and defense concerning the charges, the number of counts and the sentence that will be assessed (Neubauer & Fradella, 2011). Plea bargaining first emerged following the Civil War and became predominant during the early part of the 20th century when the number of criminal defendants flooding the criminal justice system threatened to overwhelm the courts (Dervan & Edkins, 2013)
By the end of Prohibition, fully 90% of all criminal convictions in the United States were the result of plea bargaining (Dervan & Edkins, 2013). During the remainder of the 20th century, prosecutors increasingly threatened defendants with harsher sentences unless they cooperated and opted for a plea bargained disposition, and, as a result, many innocent defendants were coerced into admitting guilt for crimes they did not commit (Leib, 2014)
In reality, though, there is no universally accepted definition for plea bargaining, but even though some prosecutors deny engaging in the practice, Neubauer and Fradella (2011) suggest that they are simply calling the practice something else. Whatever it is called, there are three basic types of plea bargain agreements: (a) charge bargaining, (b) count bargaining and (c) sentence bargaining (Neubauer & Fradella, 2011)
When 95% of the criminal cases in the United States are being disposed of through plea bargaining, though, it is also reasonable to suggest that some bad guys are getting off easier than they should and that American society is paying the price for this efficiency. Certainly, the courts in the United States are crowded and it may not be logistically possible to provide every defendant with a trial, but the harsh realities are that fully 95% of all cases today are plea bargained away, and only about 5% of defendants in the United States are provided with an actual trial (Roberts, 2013)
"The New York Stock Exchange has maintained orderly archives, open to scholarly researchers since 1980, but no one yet has seen fit to exploit this resource to do a full-blown institutional history of the stock market." (Burk 176) Comparatively the results on the stock market, after nine-eleven and the Kennedy Assassination were similar in many ways namely, both event aftermaths include stock decline in many areas, and are preceded by economic recession
Consumer confidence, now at its lowest point since the Persian Gulf War, has caused the engine of the economy--spending -- to sputter. (Dingle and Spruell) During he aftermath of the Kennedy Assassination there was a general overall decline in stock prices and many could argue that it might have been largely due to the only very recent recovery from a stock crash that occurred during Kennedy's white house years
Fortunes are at stake. (Flynn) The hit was extreme and the financial world waited with baited breath to see what would come of this nightmarish event while the rest of the world focused on the 24/7 coverage of recovery and clean up efforts
