Savannah

The Savannah River “originates at the confluence of the Seneca and Tugaloo rivers in Hart County in eastern Georgia” (Seabrook).

I support the Savannah Hypothesis, which states that early hominids lived in small forests surrounding savannahs because it is the most reasonable hypothesis. Scientists use fossils to determine where early hominids lived, as proven in this quote. “ Australopithecus anamensis has been found at Kanapoi and Allia Bay, Kenya, in association with another type of mosaic – an open savanna with low trees and shrubs, but with both grasslands and gallery forests nearby.” (1) This piece of evidence can…

I wake up to something kicking me in the face. Yawning I scoot over and go back to sleep knowing that Bella wants me to move. The next time I get woken up it’s eight in the morning and I get ready to go to Savannah. Traveling with my dog is no easy feat, but since she has separation anxiety it is a necessary one. Before every trip we go on I make sure to pack Bella a backpack full of her favorite toys and treats so that she knows we’re taking her with us. The drive to Savannah is only an hour,…

Sherman's Savannah campaign, as well as his march through the Carolinas, was one of the most momentous, and controversial campaigns of the latter part of the American civil war. Some historians, and individuals would argue that this campaign was nothing more than a mere military operation that brought about the abeyance of the Confederacy’s military capabilities, and the weakening of the morale of the citizenry of the southern states. Consequently, this group argues that Sherman’s March to the…
