In 1816 the Congress chartered the second Bank of the United States. Referred to as BUS. The bank was controlled by private stockholders, even though it was the depository of federal funds. State banks saw this bank as a competitor, and when the state banks began to fail during the 1818 depression, they blamed it on the BUS. One of the states laying blame on BUS was Maryland. We impose a large tax on banks not chartered within the state, and the only bank not chartered within the state was BUS. The BUS’ Baltimore branch refused to pay the tax, and Maryland sued James McCulloch, cashier for the branch. McCulloch responded by saying that the tax was unconstitutional, one of the state courts ruled in favor of Maryland, and the court of appeals

I am one of those people who would quit Valley Forge. Valley Forge is a winter camp that was developed in the year 1777 to prepare Washington’s army for war. The 18,000 soldiers would have to train for 7 months in the cold weather with limited supplies. I would leave Valley Forge, because from 18,000 healthy soldiers, soon became 7,000 soldiers getting ill, and 2,500 end up dying (Document A).

BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS- November of 1773 an event happened that changed the colonist’s lives forever. During this time the Tea Act was taking place. This helped the British East Tea company by enabling them to send tea straight to the colonies, whereas they usually had to send the tea to England, then on to the colonies. The Parliament thought the colonist would like this change, but because they had to pay the duty, or import tax, which did not sit well with them, they were not so gracious with this decision. They started boycotting English goods, including the tea. Later in the month of November the Sons of Liberty dressed up as Indians and went on the ship containing the tea, and dumped hundreds beyond hundreds of boxes of tea off of the boat.

The stench of sweat, vomit, feces, and blood was almost to much to bear. Although times were difficult at Valley Forge, I would have stayed as a soldier because I believed George Washington was a amazing leader, most of the fellow soldiers didn't lose their spirit, and I would be willing to die for freedom. To begin, I would have stayed because George Washington was on our side and he is a natural born leader. In Document B it showed George Washington taking his soldiers side, which means that he was helping them; he wasn't just doing what Congress told him to do. Washington had fought in the French and Indian war, so he was trained by the British, meaning he knew there battle strategies well, as Sun Tzu once said "know thy enemy" and he did.

After the ban of Tobacco in 1644 by the last Ming emperor Huaizhun the already addicted Chinese people had to find something new to smoke and as opium was already smoked mixed together with tobacco before the ban, many of the smokers changed to opium smoking itself or also Arsenic, that is also a drug. So as the Opium smoking was already widely spread across China, it was already slowly destroying the health and the cohesion of the nation, but it was still a problem only within China. Even though Chinese-European trade already existed in the seventeenth century a law for the trade was made 1757 and it was called the “Canton-System” and the trade between China and all European countries got reduced to only Canton or as it is today called

The sky was bleak and the earth was frozen and bare. The only nearby remnant of life was situated in the winter camp at Valley Forge. Lifeless men dragged their feet lethargically on the deep snow while their tattered clothing blow in the howling wind. “A general cry [through] the Camp…. Among the Soldiers, ‘No Meat!

Following the Civil War in the 1860s, African Americans were freed and given suffrage. However, following events such as Plessy v. Ferguson and the end of Reconstruction, much of what they gained was taken from them. African American leaders tried to earn them back in a number of different ways, but with similar goals in mind. Although African American leaders from the 1890s to the 1920s and from the 1950s to the 1960s had different strategies such as the Talented Tenth compared the March on Washington, both time period’s leader sought the same goals, namely suffrage and the end of segregation therefore, they are significantly different in strategy and majorly similar in goals.

George Washington once said, “To be prepared for war is one of the most effective means of preserving peace.” George Washington had to prepare his soldiers at the winter camp at Valley Forge. The winter of 1777 was great for Washington, because he could keep an eye on the General Howe’s British soldiers. Washington had a major problem. Some men were signing up for one to two year enlistment, but the most common was nine months.The living conditions were a horrid situation. Many had no shoes and little clothing, which is not a good combination for a frigid Pennsylvania winter. The winter was not pleasant, and most soldiers had diseases, like smallpox, and dysentery. Men are dying, running away, or deserting their post. My term is almost up. I am concerned about my family, and my aging mother. I could desert and leave for home, or stay and fight. The question has come down to this; If you were a soldier at Valley Forge, would you have quit. In this situation, to quit is to not re-enlist. I have decided to re-enlist because our great leaders, the doctors and sickness treatment, and respect.

I wouldn’t quit Valley Forge because I am not a “Summer Soldier.” Being a “summer soldier…” is bad at this time because valuable things, like freedom, are worth fighting for, so I would not quit (Doc D). A summer soldier is someone who only fights when times are good, and fighting for freedom was very valuable at this time. The last reason I would stay at Valley Forge is because (Doc D) “... the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.” So basically in the end of the day, fighting for freedom is very worth it.

George Washington and his continental army were staying at a winter camp in Valley Forge in very bad conditions from December 1777 to June 1778. These “summer soldiers” are leaving, but some are staying loyal. If you had been at Valley Forge would you quit?

In doc B it shows us how all the men had torn clothes and how they were in a snowy and harsh climate.They were getting frost bite and one of my fellow soldiers only had 3 toes due to having no shoes and getting frostbite. I wouldn't want to stay there because they don't have the appropriate clothes for the climate and they are basically freezing to death in the cold weather.
