During the winter of 1777-1778, the Continental Army (consisting of about 11,000 men), with General George Washington, resided at the headquarters of Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. The American soldiers suffered from a lack of resources and housing throughout these months. The army made huts for shelter from the cold season, but with the deprivation of blankets and food, more than 3,000 men passed away. On the other hand, the British army, with the help of the Loyalists, received a healthy diet, warm housing, and engaged in many social activities. Valley Forge was the most disheartening time in the Revolutionary War for the Patriots, but with the help of the French and a hopeful spirit, they emerged stronger than before.

-Stated in the preface, Leonard L. Richards had heard the standard story of Shays's Rebellion time and time again. While finding a last-minute book for his class, he discovered in a footnote that the Massachusetts Archives had the names of the Shaysites,not just the names of the leaders, but some four thousand names. With most rebellions, finding out who participated is difficult, making this unusual. Again by accident, Richards learned that the university library had the pertinent state archives on microfilm. After working through the bad handwriting, Richards found out that the "standard story" he was taught made little sense. I believe that in wanting to tell the story right, Richards did more research and it led to his writing of this book.

I greatly enjoyed this book, any book about an underdog is my kind of book. It always reminds me of my neighbor's father who owned a racehorse or two. There is a trail where he used to run them as if they were at the racetrack. That sticks out to me for a reason grandfather would tell us that story every time we smack that divot . This book is greatly enthralling and I’ll read it again and maybe even another time.

The book What They Fought for, is about the Civil war and the two sides involved. The two sides are Union and Confederate Armies. The Union is the north and the Confederate is the south. The union simply wanted to preserve the nation that the founding fathers bequeathed. The Confederate army was fighting for their independence. They believed the government was trying to take over and place too many rules on them. The Confederacy believed they should not have any restrictions. The Union wanted the country to be equal and whole. The ironic fact is that both sides were fighting for what the forefathers established, yet interpreted it in two completely different ways. The forefathers fought to be independent from British rule just as the Confederacy thought they were fighting. The forefathers also said “We the people of the united states…,” they wanted the nation to be united in their territories as a whole, just like the union believed. James McPherson does a great job of explaining both sides equally. Gerald Linderman and Reid Mitchell explained that soldiers at that time were not concerned with why they were fighting and only fought for their

Behind Rebel Lines by Seymour Reit, tells the true story of Emma Edmonds, who in April of 1861, answered the rallying cry of President Abraham Lincoln, who called upon the young men of America to join in the Union effort during the Civil War. She had a slender build and had short cropped hair. She was in the habit of wearing men's clothes when she work on her farm. She was raised in St. John, Canada, and had worn men's clothes for years while working on the family farm. Emma felt the resentment of her harsh and remote father who had wanted a son. The fractured relationship between Emma and her father led her, at sixteen years of age, to run away from home. An idealistic young woman, Emma headed for the United States, a nation that needs her help.

In chapter 1, Equality mentions that men usually do not an age pass 45. This could be so because of the level of scientific discovery. The main giveaway is when this is stated, “We learned how to bleed men to cure them of all aliments” (Rand 23). This is the material taught in school and the information is extremely dated mirroring the early 1800s. In addition and most likely a result of the low development of science that could add the low life expectancy is the undeveloped technology.

As he sits on the floor of the elevator, Shiage is surprised on how espers like Rikou did not care about the life of someone like him. Recalling how Rikou defended him, Shiage wonders why. However, knowing that she was facing against Teitoku to save him, Shiage could not sit idly by.

In this book, Jeffrey Ogbar talks about the beginning of rap, where it started, some of the artists of this genre and some of the controversial topics the artists rap about. He also talks about the usage of the N word as well as men calling women the B word. In the first chapter of the book, Ogbar contextualizes the debate by talking about the history of the minstrel figure in American popular culture, relying mainly on the work of W. T. Lhamon and Patricia Hill Collins. He talks about how the earliest manifestations of hip-hop music in the 1970s came from the Black Power movement and often included direct rejections of minstrel tropes for example in the artist KRS-One’s song “My Philosophy”. Before going on a chronological study of the internal debates that many rappers have over their relationships with the minstrel trope, Ogbar finds the source of the debate in early twentieth-century black writers’, mainly W.E.B Du Bois, interest in elevating many portrayals of African Americans in the arts, versus Harlem Renaissance writers’ rejection of the emphasis on

Commanding heights: The New Rules is the third film in the series and is about the 21st century economy. PBS sponsored the film under the direction of Michael Sullivan to inform the public about the economic situation. They speak about how the economy adapted to what is today. How the world nationalized third world countries allowing exchange and investment. Episode 3 addresses the current and future problems of a globalized world. That's the structure of the film. The film clearly, thoroughly, and excitingly explains this through historic facts and stories told by citizens who lived during the changes. This is not an economics lesson but rather a high dramatic event that impacts peoples lives. Commanding
