home. When Virginia voted to separate from the nation in 1861, Lee decided to lead the Confederate forces against the Union. Along with all of his victories he also had disasters as well when he tried to cross the Potomac, where 14,000 of his own men were either captured, wounded or killed. The war carried on and so did Robert E. Lee’s opponent’s victories, Ulysses S. Grant. Grant gained more and more of the Confederate’s territories until Lee finally surrendered to him at his private home in…

the union won both those battles, but on May 12-13 at the Battle of Palmito Ranch the confederacy won. They had to have gotten the news of the surrender by then right? That was the last recorded battle of the Civil War and it ended in a confederate victory. The confederacy may have lost a huge battle at Gettysburg, but you can’t call it a turning point in the Civil War when the South keeps fighting for ten months after the battle. They fight the north for over a month after the surrender at…

My journey to victory is getting into a four year college. The type of college I would want to get into being, a college that is easy to get around to, to explore different organizations, to be able to have a wide variety of food on campus and off campus and lastly to have a good quality of education. A second victory would be getting a degree from a four year university. I have had many people who have been a great help in achieving my victory. Each semester that I had at Schoolcraft College I…

The similarities between sport and warfare are most apparent in the common values associated with each, the necessity of divine support to succeed, and finally the Ancient Greeks’ view of contest. Through the examination of these three aspects of sport and warfare, the similarities that arise…

Wendy C. Alcalá Jon Sigmon SOC 134 04/25/2016 The Good and the Bad in Sports Sports have existed for so long that it seems impossible to imagine a world without them in society. The principal purpose of sports in American society was social entertainment and a source of exercise. As time has passed they have become even more important; they now play a bigger part in society and teach different values to those that are somehow linked to them, whether it’s being a part of sports or being the…

The attack on the Pacific Fleet (Pearl Harbor) was taking care of properly and the reaction from the US was rightful and justified. The lingering question is if the attack that US had on Japan was too far and did not fit the “crime”. Well indeed the answer to this question is that the US reacted properly and by entering WWII just to defeat and destroy Japan and its leaders was nothing but right.
