George Catlett Marshall Jr. was born in Uniontown, Pennsylvania, on December 31, 1880. “He was initially a disappointment to his parents with his mischievous behavior and poor performance in school. When he entered the Virginia Military Institute(VMI) in 1897, at age 17, however, he vowed to succeed.

Mining became very popular in the late 1800’s as people moved West to find gold. Cattle ranching was a very large part of the 1800’s because it created a lot of money and a very easy system.

This time period lasted for about thirty years, and during this time there were a variety of people that roamed around the towns such as outlaws, lawmen, Native Americans, townspeople, and cowboys. Out in the Wild West the towns were small but, for the size of them, they were called 'home' for many people.
The west was rough, untamed, was denied stateship, because of the rowdy people, and towns. The cattle drives, and cowboys shaped the west, the cowtowns, and the people. After the Civil War, there was as shortage of food, mainly beef, so the people of the west, and the ranchers were depended upon for the food, beef.

The state of Missouri is one of the top states for veteran benefits. The size of a hierarchy varies depending on a variety of things.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) is a United States federal agency, but more specifically a specialized law enforcement and regulatory organization within the United States Department of Justice. The ATF has had a very dynamic history changing its name and duties many times. It was originally part of the United States Department of the Treasury. It was formed in 1886 as the "Revenue Laboratory" within the Treasury Department 's Bureau of Internal Revenue. Following its formation, the ATF changed its name to encompass its responsibilities, ending finally as the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives after President George W.

The United States of America experienced the greatest, and arguably the most significant, restructure of both governmental and legal proportions in its contemporary history. Following the suddenness of the attacks, the United States was desperate to ensure that an onslaught of a similar stature was subdued. Henceforth, the Homeland Security Act of 2002 was established, bringing into existence the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), a department specifically concerned with internal issues faced by the USA. Primarily made as a direct response to the 9/11 attacks, the role of the DHS is to protect the United States of America and its given states and territories from danger; specifically, terrorist attacks, man-made accidents, and natural disasters; this is commonly seen in airports in the form of Customs and Border Control which are two functions of the DHS, following its subsequent take over of the IHS (Immigration and Naturalisation Services) in 2003. In the same movement for security, the *USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 was legislated in an attempt to “detect and prosecute terrorism and other crimes”
The principle role of police organizations is to uphold and enforce the law. Police organizations achieve this by safeguarding life and property, maintaining public order, and through detecting and preventing crime. Policing at the state level is composed of separate police organizations. At the state level we have the City or Local Police, County Sheriff and State Police, also known as Highway Patrol or State Troopers. The U.S. government gives each state the authority to self-govern so each state has its own Penal Codes and every state policing organization follows its own Penal Code. Policing at the Federal level is composed of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Secret Service, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF). Federal policing agencies oversee all federal laws.

United States Border Patrol has been around since 1904 enforcing and regulating laws under the immigration and Nationality Act. U.S. border patrol is now under the Department of Homeland Security, which was created as a response to the attacks of September 11, 2001. Over the years, their jurisdiction and missions have changed to better protect the safety of nation. Although border patrol is a need for any nation, their extensive acceptations to constitutional laws can often be taken advantage of. The mission of the U.S. border patrol should be to prevent illegal aliens, which are a threat to American society, from reaching their purpose. Frequently, their purpose can be confused or executed in a bias manner.
