Women in the Civil War Women have dealt with many inconveniences over the years, but the Civil War is one of the greatest of them. Many roles of women included nurses, spies, soldiers, housewives, et cetera. Many other women stayed in their hometowns, whom were left lonely by their husbands and relatives who left for war. Some women were longing for adventure, claiming that they could do anything that a man could. Others believed it was only a man’s duty to fight on the battlefield. Other women enjoyed being damsels in distress, agreeing that only a man could serve his country in war. Women nurses during the Civil War were often shamed for trying to work as what was known as “only a man’s job”. The men working on the battlefields would tell the women to go home and do what they are really meant to do. Luckily today, it is not seen the same way, as there are as much as, maybe even more women nurses than there are men nurses. The Civil war nurses did many other things than heal wounds and give out medicine to soldiers. They allotted supplies, cooked and served food, and washed the soldiers’ dirty laundry. One of the most generous and selfless woman nurses in the Civil War was Clara Barton. Clara earned the nickname “Angel of the Battlefield” because she would go out onto the battlefield, and treat the soldiers wound where he was.

Benjamin Franklin believed that every person can become more wealthy, healthy, and wise through hard work and self discipline.

Franklin didn’t favor luck or opportunities, but instead became successful through hard work. Franklin was many things such as an author, inventor, scientist, and a…

George Washington was a strong fighter with good battle strategies. He specifically helped the Patriots win the American Revolution by assisting in the defeat the British at the Battle of Yorktown with the help the French army, and by simply being the commander of the Patriot Continental Army. Without George Washington as commander, the Continental Army would not have been successful in defeating the British. Benjamin Franklin proposed many great ideas about separating from England during the…

fighting for what they believe in will always persevere no matter how long it may take. There will always be wars and there will always be battles for what people think is right. “Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are.” (Ben Franklin) Work Cited “He did not attack just the corruption in the monarchy, he attacked the monarchy itself” (Westlund Notes Common Sense).

God’s Inventor The thunder roared in the distance as flashes of lightning streaked across the dark grey sky. Franklin 's kite glided in the azure, an old rusted key dangling from it along with his well-known lightning rod. Suddenly the sky illuminated with white, the kite burned and electricity streamed through his lightning rod and key. Touching the key, a sharp zap coursed through Franklin’s body (History.com 4). Franklin will soon after invent the most important necessity people will…

impeccable because it triggered that shift in mind and that desire to obtain freedom; to build a righteous nation without the oppression of the British Empire. It not only defined the American Revolution, but it defined hundreds of years of political affairs and decisions because nowadays American presidents still take their decisions based on the dogmatic and philosophical ideals of the Enlightenment. We are still able to see the effects of the Enlightenment and the colossal influence that it…

the rich white men were at ease and power, whilst the lower classes had little voice. Though a national religion had been abandoned, those not believing to at least the principles of a Christian doctrine were suspicious. The intent of freedom, however, was blatantly clear. In looking at the lives of Frederick Douglass and Benjamin Franklin it is possible to recognize America’s true values. Frederick Douglass was regarded with great respect; even though colonial America’s…

When Paine was thirteen he worked with his father as a stay maker, but he later worked as a tax collector. As a stay maker, he hunted smugglers, collected liquor and tobacco taxes.

In 1774, two years after publishing “The Case of the Officers of Excise,” he got fired from the excise office, but soon met Benjamin Franklin convincing him to move to America. Thomas Paine arrived in America on November 30, 1774, where he helped…

He was willing to help all his neighbors but hated “any kind profitable labor”. Rip had a goood relationship with people and “was thought highly of by everyone except his wife”. Dame Van Winkle was a termagant and sharp-tongued woman who always blamed for Rip’s idleless and carelessness. She could teach Rip a lesson in any possible way and even the most respectable person could not be safe from her tongue. By comparison, it is obvious to see that the author approves of Rip’s lifestyle and…
