Grant and Lee I like the essay, “Grant and Lee” written by Bruce Catton, although I am not a political enthusiast reader. Inconsiderably, I hate talking about it and, more so reading about it.

Wonderful Master of Art, Grant Wood's Grant Woods is an amazing artist which I failed to see before browsing through this book. Grant woods has a very elegant way of painting art. By making his art appear realistic his art is much more complex than you might think. Figuring out what artist to pick was extremely difficult. Once the painting of American Gothic came up I suddenly knew which artist I wanted to study. Covering every page of the book with beautiful and very austere his art makes…

Grant like many military men distained politics, which is true even in today’s worlds, but found himself thrusted into it none the less.

With the support from…

Grant Wiggins breaks away from the stereotypical black man of the 1940’s to create a new idea of what it means to be black. Originally, Grant was seen as an insignificant, unintelligent individual; however, he later shows that he is an intellectual individual who does have an impact on what is happening within the community. The first time it is apparent that Grant actually does posses some knowledge is when he goes to discuss going to the jail to talk to Jefferson, with Sheriff Guidry and Henri…

Last Thursday, I met with my college’s CCCPDF Grant Coordinator, Ms. Aretha Williams. During our meeting she asked me to please document my feelings towards the program and how she, as the coordinator, has been of a service to me. So, without any further adieu… The fund overall has been a tremendous blessing in my life. I do not have to worry about applying for other state and/or federal funds because I know that I will always have the money from CCCPDF. It makes my life a lot easier knowing…

Rebuttal: If Grant had not captured Vicksburg, situated on the banks of the Mississippi river, which gave Union forces complete control of the Mississippi river, the Confederacy would have been able to use the Mississippi river to transport supplies, would not have split the South into two and stopped Southerners from getting much needed supplies coming in from the west. “A Yankee captain wrote home to his wife “The backbone of the Rebellion is this day broken. The Confederacy is…
