Empire and Imperialism: Europe. Few subjects have generated as much controversy as that of European imperialism in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Because of the term's pejorative connotations, even attempting to define it causes difficulties.
Edmund Burke. From Conservapedia. Edmund Burke (born January 12, 1729 in Dublin, died July 9, 1797) was an Anglo-Irish statesman, an orator, and a leading conservative political theorist who is still widely read and continue to shape conservative attitudes.
The Burke and Hare murders were a series of 16 murders committed over a period of about ten months in 1828 in Edinburgh, Scotland. The killings were undertaken by William Burke and William Hare, who sold the corpses to Doctor Robert Knox for dissection at his anatomy lectures. Edinburgh was a leading European centre of anatomical study in the early 19th century, in a time when the demand for cadavers led to a shortfall in legal supply.
