The battle between our own states was a raging and bloody war for both the north and the south. Throughout the war the officers were often treated like royalty compared to that of the men that, I feel, did most of the hard work. The enlisted men did not get the same quality of goods as the officers and were forced to make good with what they got. I could not imagine sleeping in half of a tent or somehow having to find a way to join two halves together as you can see in the pictures shown at Camp…

The North and the South: Civil War Era In the mid-1800s, turmoil broke between the North and the South states. The Southern Confederate states and the Northern Union states shared different beliefs.

We see pictures of poverty on the news from many different communities across the nation, but often, little of this news coverage is given to the people living in Appalachia. The ABC 20/20 episode entitled A Hidden America: Children of the Mountains shines a much needed light on the daily struggles people living in Central Appalachia face.

Racism on the Gridiron Do you have metathesiophobia, the fear of change? Remember the Titans, directed by Boaz Yakin and starring Denzel Washington and Will Patton, takes place in Alexandria Virginia in 1971. It is about an all white school and an all black school that integrate to form T.C. Williams. This leads to very high racism, discrimination, and prejudice in the town. The film does a great job of leaving an impact on the viewer by portraying a change of heart in many characters. The…

It went from life to death. In the early year of 1607 English settlers traveled to Jamestown, Virginia by ships in looking for gold as well as a settlement. Why did so many colonists die? Colonists died in early Jamestown for three major reasons bad water, unskilled settlers, and poor relations with the Powhatan tribe. One cause of death in the colony is contaminated water, limited amount of food not enough to go around, and drought which then caused starvation for the people. Research shown…

for international trade, it still was out first settlement. However, there were many mistakes that they had made. In the May of 1607 English colonists settled in a place in the new world located at the mouth of great bay on the coast of what is now Virginia, in hoped that they would permanently colonize new lands. (Overview) However the plan was eventually diverted and the population resorted to violence and consuming anything that they found edible, including cannibalism. This was primarily…

For years upon years, major public universities in the United States have utilized funds provided to their institutions to award various scholarships to qualifying students. In most cases, many of the universities put this money to use by giving students merit-based scholarships depending on their high school achievements. Some of these awards are based on achievements like grade point average, standardized test scores, or community service projects with which the student has worked. For many…
