Thus, they wrote no word in the Constitution regarding the political parties. For the initial eight years of the America’s presence, George Washington, the first America’s President, had brought a unifying and harmony vicinity in the country. In a few years after 1789, still, he was able to practice the unbiased leadership on the new…

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.

Meriwether Lewis’s Death When a person hears the names, “Lewis and Clark,” the majority of people think of the two brave explorers leading The Corps of Discovery. Starting in 1803 and ending in 1806, Lewis and Clark lead the Corps on a journey through the Louisiana territory.
