1.) The ending did not surprise me; I think it may have if we hadn’t discussed it in class. I think I would have been very surprised and confused, if I hadn’t known the ending prior to reading it.

Stephan contemplated before he sat down, pulling the chair out slowly, dreading the family's nightly dinner conversation, what Great Britain was doing wrong. First they moved away to the new land, then Britain gave them grief. The proclamation of 1763, when King George told the colonists not to move westward, and the Indians not to move east, there was almost a hand drawn line. The colonists were not very happy, next year, came the sugar act in 1764. The taxes were high on cloth, sugar, coffee, and wine for the colonists, and the naval officers searched ships carefully to stop smuggling. The colonists were, again, not happy. Now, a year later, was another act, the stamp act, and I bet you can guess, the colonists were not very happy.

By the 1750s, the American colonies had come a long way from their original struggles and failures. They had grown in both population and economic stability. Even so, relations between the colonies and Great Britain were strained. The colonists became more and more discontented with England’s control of their political and economic affairs. The colonies were dissatisfied with the rules of British Mercantilism, or the idea that the colonies were a mere source of raw materials and market for the British mainland. This animosity for the motherland had then been seeded by the lack of economic freedom and the harsh taxes that had been set on everyday luxuries and necessities;

Benito Mussolini: Benito Amilcare Andrea Mussolini was an Italian politician and leader of the National Fascist Party, ruling the country from 1922 to his ousting in 1943. In 1926 Mussolini seized total power as dictator and ruled Italy as Il Duce from 1930 to 1943.

Well, Johnson portrayal of the founding of Virginia was certainly different from Zinn’s perspective. Johnson talks about the failure of colonizing Virginia at the beginning of his argument. He went further to mention that this was probably a god thing because the Spaniards would have found out about the English invading America. The first time the English attempted to colonize the area religion was not a major factor. However, when they tried again religion was very important and they used religion to convince individuals to fight for England. These merchants and colonizer as Johnson term them created large empires. Europe was a money economy where social

“Would it be scarier if I told you that I would kill you or just hurt you really bad?”

Dominic Riel Mr. Pointer US History / Per. 2 13 September, 2014 Chapter 10 Notes A New Shape on an Uncertain Sea • In 1789, the new U.S. Constitution was launched, and population kept doubling every twenty years. • America was heavily in debt, and paper money was worthless.

Balance of trade: the more money the US made based off trades, the more positive balance it was. Mercantilism: an economic system where countries traded with each other for what they needed and to create a balance trade. Navigation Acts: prohibited the colonies from trading with England. Columbian Exchange: Crops were traded to and from North America, Europe, Asia, and Africa together. Triangular Trade/Middle Passage: Triangular Trade is which slaves and goods were sent and exchanged between Africa, England, Europe, West Indies, and the colonies.

Many elements offered ascend to the annihilation of the British in the American Revolution. In the first place there was the way that the British didn't know the area. Without a doubt, the British knew the format of the greater part of the urban communities in America on the grounds that they had been quartered and possessed these urban areas. So obviously they'll beat the pilgrim at these urban communities in light of the fact that the British armed force was prepared at close battle. They out coordinated the pioneers in ability and experience and supplies. However, when they began their boondocks battle that would've crushed the Rebels, the tides changed. The British were currently experiencing the woods and spots that British warriors, generally, have never ventured foot in. The agitators took

1. From the perspective of Native Americans, the Spanish and English empires in America had more similarities than differences. Assess the validity of this generalization.

Slavery is an institution that has existed since ancient times. To argue over its immorality is irrelevant, as its ethical and moral implications are blatantly evident. However, to say that the main cause of disdain of the institution from the North stems from its immorality is inherently incorrect, due to the fact, that as previously stated, slavery has existed since ancient times, perforce its immorality could not simply be the main cause of hatred toward this withstanding system from the North. Nevertheless, it goes without saying that their disgust toward the peculiar institution (a common name used to refer to slavery) is related to its ethical implications. However, the question still

After waking early, he slipped out of bed quietly, and peered down with a sense of guilt at the woman he'd solemnly vowed to forever cherish, then showered, dressed and walked to the kitchen, There, Ellis brewed a pot of coffee, and contemplated his actions of the previous night, before he re-entered the bedroom, placed a cup of coffee for Beth by the bedside, and kissed her on the cheek. "I've a busy day, see you tonight."

I sighed loudly, stuck in my room with nothing else to do. All I did was daydream. Daydream about anything. Cats, dragons, phoenixes, being a snake, being a bird, having a romantic affair with a prince, stuff like that. Sebastian had gone out into town to get some items. I wanted him to get some makeup, like mascara, eye liner, blush, and concealer. I wanted to try out makeup, to see if it gives the 'good displays' of your face like the women say. Hm.

The soft padding of bare feet across the wide-planked wooden floors and the creaking of the screened door as it opened, reminded Joshua that he was not alone. He had left Emma sleeping soundly when he quietly slipped out of bed and went into the kitchen to make coffee. He had hoped to have some time to himself to figure out his next move... Mainly, he just needed a deep breath of fresh air without Emma sucking it in as he exhaled it. Her clinging to him of late, was wearing thin on his nerves.
