Charleston, South Carolina, the jewel of the south. A town that time has yet to permeate, where horse drawn carriages still serve as a mode of transportation, resulting in over 4.5 million visitors every year (“In Charleston, S.C., Resistance to Cruise Ships”). At one point those horse drawn carriages would have toted around rich white slave owners, today they tote around any paying customer. Charleston has used its charm to intrigue the world for decades, that's why for the past four years…

Americus is about 12 mile while in the south of Montezuma it is about 10 miles on GA-49. In my trip to the site, I followed 1-75 south to the exit 135 of Perry from the Northside (Averill, James, 36). I then moved to the southwest on a GA- of 224 from the Montezuma interstate. This was approximately 20 miles from the area. Moving out of Montezuma I turned right on a GA of 26 and followed the GA-49 intersection. From the intersection, I move towards the south, which was about 6 miles to the…

William Nester, The age of Jackson and the Art Power 1815-1848. Dulles Virginia: Potomac Books, 1956. The age of Jackson although I felt as if it was a hard book to spot the main argument it was an overall good read and interesting. This book really dives into the life of Jackson and tells him from birth to death. I feel as if Nesters argument was just showing the way at which Jackson personified the era and, as he stated on page 2, was the titan if the thirty-three years from 1815 to 1845 and…

Charleston, South Carolina, a city that has been seen by the public as the place where the American Civil War started and where Fort Sumter is located. But, ironically the first battle of the slavery induced Civil War took place in what was the slave trading capital of mainland North America. Charleston was host to an event that spanned over a century and that is the great migration of Africans to America by as many means as possible from the slave trade to piracy. Due to its geographic location…

Way It Has Always Been Done South Carolina’s denizens are stuck in their ways. More often than not, the reasoning behind something is that “that’s the way it’s always been done”. Traditions are all good and well, but perpetuating unnecessary acts is simply nonsense. South Carolina is full of highly intelligent people; there’s no reason these people cannot introduce some new ideas and shake things up. Sometimes, change is good. Sometimes, change is needed. South Carolina would improve vastly with…

Independence Patient anticipation Up till now I've been hurry up and waiting At a bus stop in independence licking an ice cream cone I've been kicking I've been scheming This is as close as I've ever been to leaving Five blocks away, a stone's throw from home But I'm as good as gone I gotta get gone, gone, gone Shooting like a gun, a gun, a gun Skipping like a stone, stone, stone Far as I can run to where freedom is free There's a road like a long gray ribbon far as I can see And it's pulling…
