The American Civil War was a conflict between Northern and Southern states of the United States between 1861 and 1865. The Valley of the Shadow archive was put together to tell the stories of the residents of Augusta County, Virginia and Franklin County, Pennsylvania during the Civil War. From 1862 to 1864 Nancy Emerson of Augusta County kept a diary detailing her life during the war. In the year 1863, Rachel Cormany kept a diary of her life in Franklin County. Life in both counties during this time was very similar. One aspect of similarity in both counties was that the war was very close to them. A second aspect of similarity in both counties was that both counties had to deal with enemy troops raiding their towns. A third aspect of similarity was that both women were supportive of their side. All in all life in both counties was very similar because of three things, which are the closeness of the war to the counties, the raids both counties faced from enemy troops, and both women being supportive of their side in the war. Both Augusta County and Franklin County were very close to the battles of the Civil War. The closeness of the war can be shown in the May 1862 entry of Nancy Emerson, when she states, “The firing was heard here all day by many, a distance of 33m.” This quote shows that the war was only 33 miles away from Augusta County and that the county was close enough to the war to hear the firing of weapons. The closeness of the war to Franklin County can be…

I don’t know the title yet So it begins: My first day of many at Coventry Village School started out a little stranger than most. My Dad met me at school and walked me to class. As soon as I saw the teacher I was terrified. I wanted to hide, but if I hid then my Dad wouldn’t be close to me anymore. Then the idea hit me, I could just hide using my Dad! Within a minute of stepping into the kindergarten classroom I had lifted up my Dad’s shirt from his waist and pulled it over my head. I figured…

When Aetna acquired Coventry, it had to make a decision as to whether to change the name to Aetna or leave it as Coventry. Because Coventry was widely popular in the areas it serviced, Aetna decided to leave them mainly named as Coventry plans, but also updated those names to include co-branding of Aetna. While it known that Aetna is set to acquire Humana, it is very possible, that Humana will be branded much like Coventry plans have in that the Humana name will largely remain prominent, but…

THE COVENTRY BLITZ I set out to discuss whether or not it was ethical for the prime minister of Britain (Winston Churchill) to let the Luftwaffe attack Coventry, when he knew they would be attacked. On the evening of 14 November 1940, 300 German bombers dropped 500 tons of explosives, 33,000 combustible bombs and several parachute mines on the industrial city of Coventry. Fire-fighters managed to put out the first fires but other hits trailed the first and rapidly new fires broke out causing a…

Godiva agreed to ride through the streets of Coventry naked, to relieve the taxation policy. Whitney wanted her statue of Lady Godiva to be different from the rest; which portray Godiva riding nude on a horse. So, Whitney decided to sculpt the moment Godiva accepted her husband’s challenge, which was to ride nude through the streets of Coventry. I think the reason why Whitney picked Lady Godiva to sculpt is to show how free and strong women are. When I see the Lady Godiva statue, I see a woman…

On Friday, 28th July, 1939 the Yorkshire Evening Post published a story describing how in the Matania painting Private Henry Tandey, VC, was carrying a man shot by a machine gun team commanded by Corporal Hitler (Yorkshire Evening Post).

Maybe they’re right, but I…

Also, as Hume believed that cause and effect are discoverable not by a priori reasoning, but instead, through human experience of events in the world, his theory of causation focuses primarily on the contents of the category Matters of Fact (Hume, 2007, p. 20; Coventry, 2010, p. 90). Hume begins his discussion of cause and effect in the Enquiry by introducing his well-known thought experiment using billiard-balls. In this example, he firstly discusses the idea that if someone we to suddenly come…

Utilitarianism is the theory that the right decision is that which produces the greatest amount of good, everyone considered. The strengths of this theory is that we are not simply considered our own selfish wants, but the good of all people. The struggle we often have with this concept is that utilitarianists are forced to make decisions where there is often a lot of collateral damage. That begs the question as to whether the good created is greater than the loss. The Tuskegee experiments are a…
