    Giavanna Hunt Mrs. Schools APUSH 18 December 2017 Antietam Book Review Crossroads of Freedom: Antietam by James McPherson September 17, 1862 is remembered as the bloodiest day in American history.

    The Freedom Writers Analysis

    As a high school student myself, I 've constantly heard the claim from many of my peers that they don 't learn anything in school. Usually, though, they come from those who are failing and desperately need an excuse to make up for their own mistakes. I 've seen examples of legitimacy, though, like my freshman year Algebra teacher who preferred to pick on students who couldn 't see the board rather than find a resolution. Because of this, I can come to an understanding with the fact that some may believe that school standards should be higher. I mean, why send a developing human being to an institution for at least eighteen years of their lives and spend thousands upon thousands of dollars to keep them their only to end up with half-assed results?…

    African American Freedom Essay

    Due its prevalent nature, freedom, in general, cannot be placed in a particular category or as an idea. Rather, it has been the focus of insistent conflict in American history. The history of American freedom is an anecdote of deliberations, disagreements, and struggles rather than a set of an everlasting continuum or an evolutionary narrative toward a predetermined goal. The ideal meaning of freedom is an impacted privilege at all levels of society.…
