    Captain John and Bradford do have quite a few similarities, but in the books, I read about John and Bradford did show a few differences. Nearly all the settlers in Captain John’s colony died from starvation, John would keep all the nutritious food for himself, and wouldn’t share with the rest of the settlers. However Bradford’s colony would help each other out, and aid anyone in need, but they were not ready for the harsh winters that would soon kill the majority of settlers in Bradford’s colony. One of the major conflicts in Smith’s colony was the selfishness. They were furious and, did not want to work for themselves just to have food…

    Joseph J. Ellis’ book, Founding Brothers, is a historical analyzation of six stories that Ellis believes had a crucial impact on American history. Although Ellis finds all six of these stories important, I believe three of them are more meaningful than the rest. The Dinner, The Silence, and The Friendship have the most significance to American history, while The Dual isn’t as important. The chapters I believe are of most importance go over critical moments in history such as; the dinner when Thomas Jefferson dominates a conversation between Alexander Hamilton and James Madison, the 1790 controversy over slavery, and when Adams and Jefferson finally get back together after their political careers. Jefferson, in hopes of Hamilton and Madison looking past their differences, held The Dinner.…

    In “Founding Brothers,” Joseph Ellis arranges the seven chapters to point out the posterity and friendship the Founding Fathers had to create or hold onto in order to help develop what we now call our home, the United States of America. The Founding Fathers realized and knew that with great collaboration between both their foes and friends, the nation they were creating had great potential. George Washington was a great example as shown in Ellis’s book. As “George Washington wrote, ‘They are, from this period, to be considered as Actors on a most conspicuous Theatre, which seems to be peculiarly designed by Providence for the display of human greatness and felicity.’ If the infant American republic could survive its infancy, if it could manage to endure as a coherent national entity long enough to consolidate its natural advantages, it possessed the potential to become a dominant force in the world (7).”…
