    In the early spring of 1781, Lord Charles Cornwallis led the British Army to the Guilford Courthouse to face the colonial militia and their general, Nathanael Greene. Greene knew of the British Army’s advancements and had set up three lines of defense to fight the British, whose army was under half the size and was weary from traveling.

Morrison: Rights for All Louisiana Congressman James Morrison, serving in the United States House of Representatives from 1943 to 1967, did not fit the mold of a Deep South white politician in the 20th century. A moderate on civil rights issues, rather than a typical staunch segregationist, he supported the important Voting Rights Act of 1965, which aimed to extend a voice to voiceless southern blacks. In voting for this act, Morrison lost re-election to Congress in 1966 (“J.H Morrison”). Morrison voted for the Act, exemplifying political courage as described by John F. Kennedy in Profiles in Courage when he “triumphed over all personal and political considerations” and followed his conscience (Kennedy 18). The Voting Rights…
