Chapter 1
CHANGE?
From the brief time Human Being have been on Earth, they have wondered how they became the most intelligent beings on Earth. It all started :approximately two millions years ago, when a few hundred ape type being walked up straight, on two feet. They walked out of the jungle, of what is now Africa, into the grass lands. They were not along, and they will never be along.
All through the century’s humans have spoke of seeing aliens, being abducted and medically examined by aliens. They wonder how they have the intelligent to think at a higher level than other primates. They wonder if there is a God, and if there is a God: did he or she make them in his or her on image, and why?!
There have always been the question are we our brothers keeper, or custodian? The answer to that question is yes, because the only way this world will survive, each and everyone of us must be a keeper, or custodian of this World, and other Worlds.
There are known facts, Human change, bring World change. Also Human Responsibility, bring forth Accountability to the World.
They also wonder if, they are the ancestors of aliens (extraterrestrial). They wonder what planet did these aliens come from?!
In only a few million years Humans have come from making fire to eat, and warn themselves, to the Industrial Revolution. They are now questioning their existence.
Why
Am
I
Here?!
What am I living for? Is it right or is it wrong to enslave another Human Being?
Is it proper to influence my belief on the belief of others? Do I have the ability to change?! What have I contributed to the better of Earth? Do I need Earth to exist or do Earth need me to exist? What are the importance of gender identity, but the power to breed? Must I submit to the power of money or to the power of free will? How will the Industrial Revolution of the 18th century effect life on Earth?
The use of new basic material, chiefly iron and steel, use of new energy sources, including, both fuels, and motive power such as coal, the steam engine, electricity, petroleum, and the internal-combustion engine, steam locomotive, steamship, automobile, airplane, telegraph and radio.
Again they ask do I have the ability to change.
Chapter 2
BIRTH OF HUMMA PRISON
The American civil war started in 1861-1865: between the United States and eleven Southern states that affirmed their prerogative to secede from the union. The secession of the Southern states, and the guaranteeing eruption of readied animosities. The issues were slavery, trade and tariffs, and the principles of states privileges.
Abraham Lincoln was president during the American Civil War. He was the sixteen president of the United States. He was six feet four inches tall, spindly, but muscular and physically powerful. There were whispers he had some Negroid characteristics. Conceivably from his mother, who bared an illegitimate birth, in England. President Lincoln conserved the union during the American Civil War and delivered the emancipation of the slaves.
President Lincoln was assassinated, April 15, 1865, in Washington D.C., by John Wilkes Booth, at Fords Theater. John Wilkes Booth, was a Caucasian male, of average height. He weighted about one hundred and fifty pounds. He exhibited an agitated insecurity, egocentricity personality.
He was a well known actor of that period. Booth killed President Lincoln, while President Lincoln and wife were attending a play at Ford theater. President Lincoln was killed with one bullet wound to the back of the head. Booth reviled what President Lincoln represented: that all people are equal. Booth also feared the South would lose their old standards of life.
After killing President Lincoln Booth leaped over the balustrade and bellowed Sic semper tyrannis!
meaning thus always to tyrants!
He landed weightily, cracking a bone in his left leg. Eleven days later, on April 26, Federal troops surrounded a barn in Virginia, and shot Booth dead. There was so much confusion there was doubt that the man who had been killed was actually Booth.
After four years of: brutal, barbarous,
