Also, in spite of the white man’s influence, Cherokees had a form of education, language, economy, political systems and a lived in a particular geographical…

Andrew Jackson is above average in my opinion because he had to implement the popular indian policy of removal, deal with the second national bank and handle the nullification crisis with South Carolina. Andrew Jackson was the seventh president of the United States. His nickname was “Old Hickory” because of his toughness and aggressiveness.He was the first non -college educated chief executive since Washington, the book states that he was "primarily a self educated orphan who by dint of hard…

Green Shines The smell of freshly cut grass made the tiny hairs on my neck stand up. It was a Monday. I. Hate. Mondays. The sunrise from my window wasn’t making things any better. I didn’t want to get up. So I didn’t. It’s not like my mother cared much anyway. She’s so fearful she barely wants me going to school, outside, or anywhere. That’s my mother for you. She never knew when to stop trying to protect me or how old I actually had become, because she still guarded me like a lion to its kill.…

The reason I am going to college is to get the education and…

Once a black man was considered a free slaved, the South would not try to accept change, rather, they…

The political events following the Union’s victory of the 1881-1865 Civil War would mark the beginning of a political battle between Democratic and Republican parties of the North and South.

The war was over but the battle was just beginning. For 100 years the South was overseen by Democratic parties, however a change was on the…
