Title: William Henry Wallace Passage: William Henry Wallace (March 24, 1827 March 21, 1901) was a Confederate States Army brigadier general during the American Civil War (Civil War). Before the Civil War, he was a planter, newspaper publisher, lawyer and South Carolina legislator in 1860 who supported the state calling a secession convention. He served in the Eastern Theater of the American Civil War, including service as a brigade commander in the Army of Northern Virginia. After the Civil War, he was a lawyer, planter, South Carolina legislator and circuit judge. Title: John Clem Passage: John Lincoln Clem (August 13, 1851 May 13, 1937) was a United States Army general who served as a drummer boy in the Union Army in the American Civil War. He gained fame for his bravery on the battlefield, becoming the youngest noncommissioned officer in Army history. He retired from the U.S. Army in 1915, having attained the rank of brigadier general in the Quartermaster Corps; he was the last veteran of the American Civil War still on duty in the U.S. Armed Forces. By special act of Congress on August 29, 1916, he was promoted to major general one year after his retirement. Title: Second Enforcement Act of 1871 Passage: The Enforcement Act of 1871 (17 Stat. 13 ), also known as the Civil Rights Act of 1871, Force Act of 1871, Ku Klux Klan Act, Third Enforcement Act, or Third Ku Klux Klan Act, is an Act of the United States Congress which empowered the President to suspend the writ of habeas corpus to combat the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) and other white supremacy organizations. The act was passed by the 42nd United States Congress and signed into law by President Ulysses S. Grant on April 20, 1871. The act was the last of three Enforcement Acts passed by the United States Congress from 1870 to 1871 during the Reconstruction Era to combat attacks upon the suffrage rights of African Americans. The statute has been subject to only minor changes since then, but has been the subject of voluminous interpretation by courts. Title: Ulysses S. Grant Passage: Ulysses S. Grant, born Hiram Ulysses Grant , (April 27, 1822 July 23, 1885) was the Commanding General of the United States Army at the end of the American Civil War and later the 18th President of the United States from 1869 to 1877. As Commanding General, Grant worked closely with President Abraham Lincoln to lead the Union Army to victory over the Confederacy in the Civil War. Supported by Congress, Grant implemented Reconstruction, often at odds with President Andrew Johnson. Twice elected president, Grant led the Republicans in their effort to remove the vestiges of Confederate nationalism and slavery, protect African-American citizenship, and support economic prosperity. Although his presidency has often been criticized for multiple administration scandals and for his failure to alleviate the economic depression following the Panic of 1873, he is regarded as a President who performed relatively well in the context of his time and pursued justice for all. Title: Enrollment Act Passage: The Enrollment Act, 12 Stat.  731 , enacted March 3, 1863, also known as the Civil War Military Draft Act, was a legislation passed by the United States Congress during the American Civil War to provide fresh manpower for the Union Army. A form of conscription, the controversial act required the enrollment of every male citizen and those immigrants who had filed for citizenship between ages twenty and forty-five. Federal agents established a quota of new troops due from each congressional district. In some cities, particularly New York City, enforcement of the act sparked civil unrest as the war dragged on, leading to the New York City draft riots on July 1316. It replaced the previous Militia Act of 1862.

Are both the Aglaonema and Alstonia genus of plants evergreen?
Title: Aglaonema Passage: Aglaonema is a genus of flowering plants in the arum family, Araceae. They are native to tropical and subtropical regions of Asia and New Guinea. They are known commonly as Chinese evergreens. Title: Alstonia Passage: Alstonia is a widespread genus of evergreen trees and shrubs, of the dogbane plant family Apocynaceae. It was named by Robert Brown in 1811, after Charles Alston (16851760), Professor of botany at Edinburgh from 1716-1760. Title: Mahonia Passage: Mahonia is a genus of about 70 species of evergreen shrubs in the family Berberidaceae, native to eastern Asia, the Himalaya, North America, and Central America. They are closely related to the genus "Berberis". Botanists disagree on the acceptability of the genus name "Mahonia". Several authorities argue plants in this genus should be included in the genus "Berberis" because several species in both genera are able to hybridize, and because when the two genera are looked at as a whole, there is no consistent morphological separation except simple vs compound leaves. "Mahonia" typically have large, pinnate leaves 1050 cm long with five to fifteen leaflets, and flowers in racemes which are 520 cm long. Title: Ochna Passage: Ochna is a genus comprising 86 species of evergreen trees, shrubs and shrublets belonging to the family "Ochnaceae". These species are native to tropical woodlands of Africa, the Mascarenes and Asia. Species of this genus are usually called Ochnas, Bird's-eye bushes or Mickey-mouse plants, a name derived from the shape of the drupelet fruit. The name of this genus comes from the Greek word "Ochne", used by Homer and meaning "wild pear", as the leaves are similar in appearance. Some species, especially "Ochna serrulata" (bird's eye plant), are widely cultivated as decorative plants. Title: Tillandsia Passage: Tillandsia is a genus of around 650 species of evergreen, perennial flowering plants in the family Bromeliaceae, native to the forests, mountains and deserts of Central and South America, the southern United States and the West Indies. They have naturally been established in diverse environments such as equatorial tropical rain forests, high elevation Andes mountains, rock dwelling (saxicolous) regions, and Louisiana swamps, such as Spanish Moss ("T. usneoides"), a species that grows atop tree limbs. Airplant is a common name for plants in this genus. Most "Tillandsia" species are epiphytes i.e. they normally grow without soil while attached to other plants. Some are aerophytes or "air plants", which have no roots and grow on shifting desert soil. Generally, the thinner-leafed varieties grow in rainy areas and the thick-leafed varieties in areas more subject to drought. Most species absorb moisture and nutrients through the leaves from rain, dew, dust, decaying leaves and insect matter, aided by structures called trichomes.

In which year did Aim Csaire publish her work, which was a response to Shakespeare's play "The Tempest?"
Title: Black Orpheus (magazine) Passage: Black Orpheus was a Nigeria-based literary journal founded in 1957 by German expatriate editor and scholar Ulli Beier that has been described as "a powerful catalyst for artistic awakening throughout West Africa". Its name derived from a 1948 essay by Jean-Paul Sartre, "Orphe Noir", published as a preface to "Anthologie de la nouvelle posie ngre et malgache", edited by Lopold Sdar Senghor. Beier wrote in an editorial statement ("Black Orpheus" 1) about the fact that "it is still possible for a Nigerian child to leave a secondary school with a thorough knowledge of English literature, but without even having heard of Lopold Sdar Senghor or Aim Csaire", so "Black Orpheus" became a platform for Francophone as well as Anglophone writers.

It later played in Avignon and Paris. Csaire uses all of the characters from Shakespeare's version, but he specifies that Prospero is a white master, while Ariel is a mulatto and Caliban is a black slave. These characters are the focus of the play as Csaire foregrounds issues of race, power, and decolonization.

The word "trobairitz" was first used in the 13th-century romance "Flamenca". It comes from the Provenal word "trobar", the literal meaning of which is "to find", and the technical meaning of which is "to compose". The word "trobairitz" is used very rarely in medieval Occitan, as it does not occur in lyrical poetry, grammatical treatises, or in the biographies of the "trobairitz" or troubadours. "Trobairitz" composed, wrote verses, and performed for the Occitan noble courts. They are exceptional in musical history as the first known female composers of Western secular music; all earlier known female composers wrote sacred music. The "trobairitz" were part of courtly society, as opposed to their lower class counterparts the "joglaressas". Although troubadours sometimes came from humble originsBernart de Ventadorn may have been the son of a castle's bakerthe "trobairitz" were nobly born.

Title: Women in music Passage: Women in music describes the role of women as composers, songwriters, instrumental performers, singers, conductors, music scholars, music educators, music criticsmusic journalists and other musical professions. As well, it describes music movements (e.g., women's music, which is music written and performed by women for women), events and genres related to women, women's issues and feminism. In the 2010s, while women comprise a significant proportion of popular music and classical music singers, and a significant proportion of songwriters (many of them being singer-songwriters), there are few women record producers, rock critics and rock instrumentalists. Notable women artists in pop, such as Bjork and Lady Gaga have commented about sexism and gender discrimination in the music industry. In classical music, although there have been a huge number of women composers from the Medieval period to the present day, women composers are significantly underrepresented in the commonly performed classical music repertoire, music history textbooks and music encyclopedias; for example, in the "Concise Oxford History of Music", Clara Schumann is one of the only female composers who is mentioned.
