    Revolutionary Mothers Analysis

    Only stories of very important women such as Abagail Adams, Mercy Otis Warren, and Martha Washington was slightly mentioned in Visions of America while Revolutionary Mothers tells of many personal stories of women who were not considered very important to the outcome of the American Revolution. It also tells about many other situations concerning women during the American Revolution such as ownership of property, boycotts, war crimes, etc. I believe Revolutionary Mothers enhanced my learning experience because it was specifically focused on the women during the Revolution as opposed to Visions of America which talked about the most important events that happened in the war, so I was able to better understand the struggles that women went through…

    Grove Street: Extreme Segregation

    One may not truly understand Berkeley until they delve deep into its history.

In fact, the extremes of the de facto segregation were seen when Lincoln School in Berkeley consisted of 97.4 percent black students and Oxford School,…

However, pregnant teens are losing that social support because their peers do not want to be associated with the girl that got pregnant in high school.
