Jefferson Davis was born on June 3, 1808 in Christian (which is now called Todd) County, Kentucky. He was a congressman, a soldier, and eventually the president of the United States of America. I think the new middle school should have Jefferson Davis’ name because he was the president of the United…

Thomas Marshall worked as a surveyor and land agent for Lord Fairfax. Although the supply of books was relatively scarce during that time, they were still available to John. Lord Fairfax allowed access to his library, which was an exceptional center of learning and culture. His love of poetry and literature was evidently seen later in his life. In 1767, Thomas arranged for…

Immigrants also encounter intense societal rejection, not only from U.S. natives, but from those…
