My friends and I decided that this year we didn’t want to ride any rides. So we all walked around most of the time. Later, we got hungry, so we all had a giant

    King Cotton and Slavery were very important tactics that shaped the United States during the Civil War Era. As the production of cotton continued to expand, slavery became a practice heavily concentrated, primarily in the Southern States.

Throughout US history, slaves have worked towards making the second section of the U.S. Declaration of Independence a reality for themselves, by using resistance.

    Moving schools away from all of my friends should’ve been an appalling experience, surprisingly, it was a blessing in disguise. I went to Agnes Baptist Elementary from kindergarten to 5th grade and I had friends that I've known since I was 3. I loved it there and knew the school like the back of my hand.

In the result, I moved and I went to Savage Middle School, a school that had 6th, 7th, and 8th graders.…
