My personal view regarding the policy is that one of the key reasons for the enactment of this policy is that kids will grow and develop to become healthy adults. This is a bi- partisan legislation and the USDA has ruled out regulations with regards to food choices and caloric intake ensuring that meals served to kids will be healthy nutritious and portioned sizes to age requirements. For these and all other reasons discussed it is evident that there have been developmental issues with relations…

Many African Americans risked their lives for our country either fighting overseas or creating weapons for the war. Even the army was segregated. When the war heroes returned, they hoped that they earned the respect that they deserved, but they just got spat on. These African Americans had a new battle to fight in, but this time it was against their own country. They had the mind set that if they could save democracy in France, they could save it in the U.S. too. Insults, lynching, and pure…

Did you know that over 500,000 people traveled the Oregon Trail? The Oregon trail had a effected America in many ways, including the population change, manifest destiny and the beginning of land expansion. The Oregon Trail was an insanely hard Trail to complete.

Slavery has forever been a part of American society. Ever since the Redcoats fought the colonies, slaves have had an impact on America. Even though it is not a proud part of the past, it is still part of America’s heritage. Thankfully, slavery dwindled down to nothing in the United States of America. Furthermore…

The Confederate flag is a symbol that everyone seems to have an opinion on. Some people are disgusted by the flag and claim that it represents hate and racism. These people feel like it should not be flown in public places and should only be displayed in historical museums, away from the public eye. Other people, though, look upon the Confederate flag and see a sense of pride and heritage, and strongly disagree with the accusations that accompany flying this particular symbol. Although the…

Rebellions never begin well. Their words are ringing in my head once more. Trudging through mud in a godforsaken county in Pennsylvania – blood and bodies scattered, artillery pellets entrenched in the ground - I hope this is just the beginning. The Confederacy would pull through; I’d be dead if it didn’t. There’s fewer places in the world more beautiful than where I hail from, in the rural, rolling hills of the Southern States. My hometown of Walhalla, South Carolina, is perched above the…
