Her father’s side traced their origins to the Lamptons who lived in Durham, England (Kirk 1-2). He always spoke more frequently and highly of his mother than his father. One…

and died in combat is what comes to mind, but what is not talked about are the over 400 women who died right beside them. The reasons men went to war were because they were proud of their country, they were able to leave home, they got to go on an adventure, and they earned money. Women joined the war for the same reasons, but with the addition of having freedom (Righthand, Jess. "The Women Who Fought in the Civil War.").

The Civil War is already known as one of the most devastating and destructive wars in American history, though many sacrifices were made that are still very seldom mentioned. As every Great War requires great effort and dedication on all fronts, it makes sense that the greatest war would have the greatest amounts of such effort and dedication. Upwards of 2.75 million total soldiers fought in this war, and millions more contributed to each side in other ways. The largest group of unsung heroes in…

This is what befell the popular Snapple brand almost as soon as Quaker Oats bought the beverage marketer for $1.7 billion in 1994. Snapple had become a hit through powerful grassroots marketing and distribution through small outlets and convenience stores. Analysts said that because Quaker did not understand the brand’s appeal, it made the mistake of changing the ads and the distribution. Snapple lost so much…
