He met his crew in Scotland when he was picking up fur pallets. Tyler was around 6’2,” with midnight black dreadlocks that went to the middle of his back that were tied together with a pliable rubber band. He…

On June 23, the group that I was in had dug a trench that led us below the Third Louisiana Redan. The next day, we moved 2,200 pounds of gunpowder into position directly underneath the Third Louisiana Redan. There, we blew up black powder barrels that blasted a hole in the works. Although, what may have been seen as a good outcome, suddenly turned into a bad one. After the barrels…

Response to "Bring Back Flogging" Jeff Jacoby is a strong advocate for bringing some of the corporal punishment ideals from the Puritans back into modern society.

I personally agree with the author's stance on corporal punishment as well as his reasonings for such an opinion. These reasons being: (1) The price of keeping criminals incarcerated is expensive especially with how many inmates…

Military leaders do not necessarily have to come from combat or even been in the military. They just needed to have made a change in the way that warfare is done and made a difference to the men, and later women, in the military. One such man was John P. Holland. He is widely considered the Father of the Modern Submarine and I consider him influential because he made a major impact on the way that battles at sea are fought. Holland was born in Ireland where he grew up and worked as a teacher,…

After the leading daimyo, Omura Sumitada was baptized, those under his security followed his religious practice. Eventually, numerous daimyos had converted to Christianity, who also wanted access to tools used for gunpowder. These religious practices changed when Toyotomi Hideyoshi was made daimyo, who proclaimed an anti-Christian and anti-foreign edict. Eighty-two daimyos and 300,000 Japanese had been baptized between 1563 and 1620. However, Hideyoshi was concerned…
