The Young And Brave Sacagawea Journey

Decent Essays
The only woman to accompany us on this journey is the young and brave Sacagawea. Only 17 yet so helpful. Her role is very much important to us not as a guide but as an interpreter. When she came in I didn’t think she’d be as helpful as she is. But it was nice to have someone so cheerful and outgoing in the group.
Now it’s time to say goodbye and it’s so hard. Saying goodbye and knowing we’ll never cross paths again is truly so hurtful. We wish to see her again but reality is we won’t. She’s helped us and got us this far through this journey. I can’t manage to say goodbye.

    Sacagawea Was Sacagawea an important member of Lewis and Clark’s discovery team? Without her, Lewis and Clark might have gotten lost and died. Lewis and Clark just led the discovery team.

    Colonization was a time a disagreement, and independence was still an issue, for example, the Seven Years War. However, exploration was still very prevalent for new lands, and Native woman Sacajawea played an impressive part in that. Nevertheless, disagreements also formed between the Indian nations and the colonists such as the Indian Removal Act and the case of Cherokee Nation versus Georgia which included tribes all over like the five civilized tribes. From being forced off their land to showing and guiding the way for explorers, the Native Americans have a long history in our past dating back hundreds and hundreds of years. All of these things are essential to our learning of the primitive times of our country 's past.…

    Sacagawea

    Learning about Sacagawea this week in both Chapter 8 and our other readings and videos was very interesting. Like I've said before in postings, in high school I was given a less descriptive and thorough history of her, though in this instance, it was not a contradictory version. I've read and learned before that she was the guide for Meriwether Lewis and William Clark's expedition across the western half of North America, that she helped them greatly and translated for them when they met Native American tribes and nations, and that she was a Native American. However, some of the details about her were new to me, like that she was married to a French Canadian man, and that she later died of 'putrid fever', or typhus, and that Clark petitioned for and was granted custody of her two children.…

    I miss you and the others at home awfully, but the tedious past two years of battle have been in our favor, so at least my absence has been of some aid to the Confederacy. Life back at the plantation seems like a dream when you live as a soldier. Working on the vile-smelling fields with our slaves for hours upon hours will always appeal more to me than the copious hours of marching and drilling the generals put us through; the aching of my feet after every practice burns more than my throbbing fingers ever did. All of the pain endured because of my service cannot compare to the agony of being away from home so long. Calling what I feel “homesickness” would be a complete understatement.…

    Declaration Of Slavery

    The Universal Declaration of Human Rights Article 4, “No one shall be held in slavery or servitude; slavery and the slave trade shall be prohibited in all their forms.” This is still a problem in africa today, even though it was prohibited by the UN in 1948, over six million people are still subjected to slave like conditions. Slavery itself is when a person loses all control over their own lives to someone else, and this often involves some form of forced labor. This human rights article did stop slaves from being transported worldwide, but it did little to stop slavery in these African countries. It is important to follow through with ending slavery in individual countries simply because it is morally wrong for the world as whole to allow such inhumane practices to continue.…
