Sedaris and his siblings snow vacation started off great because they barely ever got snow days and they were excited to have fun away from school. However, this week took a turn for the worse on the fifth day when their mother decided she had enough of them and…

micro economic effects of antebellum protection are beside the point. The South, providing the bulk of the Union's exports, sold in an unprotected world market, while all American consumers bought in a highly protected one. And this was to the benefit of one class, no matter how plausibly disguised as a public boon. The question of how important the tariff was in causing the war stems from the Nullification Crisis, which was South Carolina's attempt to nullify a tariff and lasted from 1828 to…

seated at their desks, I asked them to get their South Carolina textbook and journal. Once the students had their materials ready I called them by their tables to sit on the carpet. I then asked the students to turn to page 160 in their textbooks. Next I talked with the class about what we just finished learning about in our last social studies unit. I then told the studies that we were now going to start studying the antebellum period in South Carolina. Some of the students had previously saw…

My first home was in Cowpens, South Carolina. This small town really lives up to its name because of all the farms and cows located there. I have a few small memories of seeing cows appear in our front yard because they had wandered off from their pasture. Of course I don’t remember these things very clearly because I was just a baby and a toddler during my time in Cowpens. I was a stubborn, red-faced, fat baby. Screaming, crying, and fainting from holding my breath too long were an everyday…
