throughout the meeting house for the Sons of Liberty to carry out their rebellious plan of attack. “They muster 'd I 'm told, upon Fort Hill, to the number of about two hundred, and proceeded, two by two, to Griffin 's wharf, where Hall, Bruce, and Coffin lay, each with 114 chests of the ill fated article on board…” Andrews describes here the amount of participants gathering on Fort hill and marching down like soldiers ready to attack the ships which he refers to by the captain’s last names.…

Imagine a young woman is helping a young soldier who had been shot in the arm, when she feels a bullet rip through her sleeve. That bullet kills the man she was providing first aid to. This is just one of the many experiences Clara Barton had during the Civil War. When Clara Barton volunteered to help some soldiers, she did not expect to become the “Angel of the Battlefield”. She had left teaching to work as a copyist. She ended up having a huge impact during the Civil War, where she nursed for…

Knowing that something special was going to happen that day, because she could feel it deep inside her soul, Charity sprung out of bed. Her grandpa had always said that she had the “gift of knowing,” the same as her grandmother, Mi 'thebe, had. Mi’ thebe was a Cherokee name that in English meant Shadowy Moon. As she stepped outside the old, log cabin she took a deep breath of the cool, fresh mountain air and then stretched her back, leaning from side to side to remove the stiffness she felt…

I sat in the back of the car with my head resting against the window, almost quivering in anticipation. The book in my hands was not long by my current standards, but 309 pages was a lot for an eight year old to absorb. After spending nearly a week carrying the first volume of Harry Potter with me everywhere I went, I was anxious and excited to finish the novel. At first, I had no intention or desire to read Harry Potter; on the contrary, the week before my dad handed me his copy of the first…

It is even recorded, during Pontiacs War, that two British Officers considered the use of the disease ‘smallpox’ as a weapon on the Indians (page 134-135). Around that same time, Captain Simeon Ecuyer, a commander of a fort that had recently come down with smallpox, used blankets of the sick and gave them to unbeknownst Indians as diplomatic gifts (page 135). Plans like this, unfortunately, were not uncommon during these warring times, as the Indians became more of hindrance to opposing forces.…

To my left, there 's a little bakery with aromas so heavenly, the wafting scent travels its way through my nostrils; my stomach begins to produce a low growl in response. I know Grandma has cooked me her famous holiday feast and I can hardly wait. Walking through blankets of pure white snow on this merry eve, I realized how much I adore this time of year. …

As a young child and early teenager, I never understood why I had this urge to binge when I felt sad or lonely and a feeling I learned to accept was anxiety. Food was a friend and comfort blanket for me after a long way or when I had been surrounded by negativity. Food was always there to love me when I felt unloved. This vicious cycle would lead to low self-esteem, self-hated, and a feeling of worthlessness that I still struggle with today…

put all the Cherokee in stockades. Stockades were basically removal forts, which were located in North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Tennessee. In all there were thirty one forts located throughout the states. During the rounding up process the U.S. army soldiers showed many signs of cruelty towards the Indians. They even stole items and destroyed the Cherokees’ property. The next stage for the Cherokee form the removal forts was to go to interment camps. “By late July 1838 virtually all…
