    Andersonville Prisoner of War Camp Traveling 3 hours from Marietta to Andersonville was a painful and cramped car ride but it was worth it to see the beautiful memorials they had set up for all the Union soldiers who died at Andersonville and the informational museum. At the museum, we learned all about prisoners of war and their lifestyles, such as how they lived in disease filled camps and died by the hundreds daily, and how they had almost no food so they starved. The museum also had a small movie theater that showed what their families had gone through and their emotions when they found out their husbands might not be coming home.…

Also, you have to compete with other people that desperately want the same position as you do. However, before you can assume that you want the ‘spot’, you have to know what the requirements are and why do you feel like you're the best choice. For example, if you are an advanced eighth grader in the tri-cities region of Virginia, you are capable to apply for the governor school, which are Maggie L. Walker and Appomattox Regional.…

    In Minersville vs. Gobitis and West Virginia B.O.E vs. Barnette, the freedoms given unto the minority religious groups were in danger of being taken away and in the end, from the Barnette decision, the overturning of Gobitis opened the door for many other minority groups to realize what rights they have and the majority which included school and public officials could not take those away from them. In future cases that involved minority religious groups, one that involved Seventh-day Adventists was Sherbet v. Verner, in which an Adventist women’s unemployment benefits and compensation were denied after being fired for her denying Saturday work. Saturday was the original day of the Sabbath, and after the woman’s conversion to Seventh-day Adventism…
