History of North Carolina

Spain and France all settled different parts of the New World in different ways; each of these ways having different effects on the Native Americans. It is human nature to be curious of the unknown, and this has not changed over the course of history. Curiosity and a need for adventure is what brought the explorers to the New World. The first Spanish explorers saw the success of the Columbus voyage, and thought they could accomplish the same success. It took many failed attempts for the…

father often shared stories of how her grandfather helped African Americans escape capture during the Jim Crow era. Lynch’s family was very much involved in the Civil Rights Movement. Hearing these stories and attending court procedures in Durham, North Carolina with her father sparked Lynch’s interest in law and the justice system. She later said, “I realized the power law had over your life and how important it was that the people who wield that power to look at each situation with…

Having lived in North Carolina for all of my life I am no stranger to southern culture. A large part of southern culture is hunting and I have been participating in that popular pastime since I was a little boy. Throughout history and in all different cultures around the globe one of the challenges that a boy must face in order to become a man is going on his first hunt, and making a kill. This shows that he is able to supply and support his family with food if need be. My dad began taking me…

Before his inauguration, seven slave states seceded and formed…

The Civil War was the darkest and bloodiest period in American history with 620,000 lives lost. After it’s end America needed a period of rebuilding, Reconstruction. Reconstruction lasted throughout the U.S. from 1865 to 1877. Who, the North or South, put an end to America’s reassembly in 1877?

Growing up, I did not have the same interest in computers, science, and math as I do now, due to the fact that the schools I attended focused on English and history. I could give you a short rundown of events from the 1600s to now, but I could not do basic algebra. I do not want this for any other girl in the US, or anyone for that matter. I want children to grow up loving technology and innovating what we have…
