One thing in the story that shocked me is how different our perception of the Revolutionary War is from the reality. An example of this was how ill trained the American army was at the beginning of the war. The army was undisciplined, disobedient, and motivated only by their paychecks. Many perceive the soldiers as valiant, zealous men, but it wasn’t until much later in the war that the soldiers rose to the occasion and became the warriors that we remember today.

In the article” Betrayed by America” by Kristen Lewis, the bombing of Pearl Harbor affected the attitudes toward Japanese Americans. The Japanese Americans probably felt mistrusted because the Americans were making up rumors about the Japanese Americans. In the article it says, ” Rumors flew that Japanese Americans were loyal to Japan and that they were spies planning another attack on the U.S. There was no evidence that these rumors were true.” It would make sense to think that the Japanese Americans were spies because Japan was bombing the U.S. It is natural for people to think Japanese Americans look Japanese. Most of the facial features look the same. The article says,” In fact, a military report in January 1942 stated that 3 percent of

Over the past week, I have been indulged in a book over one of the most approved presidents of all time. The book, Killing Kennedy, was written by Bill O’Reilly and Martin Dugard. The book was published on October 2, 2012 and was later adapted into a film in 2013. The book consist of the history that leads up to the brutal assassination of John F. Kennedy. As well as, detailing the life of Lee Harvey Oswald prior to that fateful day. It also details how those gunshots changed a nation and ultimately brought an end to “camelot”.

John F. Kennedy is one of the most widely respected presidents in American history, with a plethora of books and movies about him. One such book, probably the most popular, is Killing Kennedy by Bill O’Reilly and Martin Dugard. Killing Kennedy is a novel describing the life and presidential term of John Kennedy and his family while in office. The book also follows the brief history of Lee Harvey Oswald, the man who assassinated JFK, describing his past and the actions that could have prompted him to become an assassin. O’Reilly and Dugard have as unbiased a view as they can possibly get, telling the reader the whole truth about John F. Kennedy, good or bad. The reader gets the whole view of JFK, instead of the sugarcoated image the media has presented of him and his term as president. They portray JFK as the man he is. He was not a good husband, as unfaithful as he was. John F. Kennedy was a great president, there’s no doubt about that. But as a man, he is ruled by his libido, and controlled by his bodily urges.

“1776” is a story of war. This book chronicles the year 1776 and the different battles that took place during the year. Instead of exploring the political changes the year oversaw, Pulitzer Prize winner, David McCullough explores in a different perspective on the battles that occurred during the year. From battle strategies, to the lives of Major Generals, McCullough takes you through the story in a more realistic and factual perspective. “1776” offers an intimate look into the military aspects of the revolutionary war which creates a more lively and engaging literature. McCullough opens the book in London, where King George III appears on behalf of his people to announce war with the North American colonies. American patriots sought to overthrow British government that overexerted its power and pressed the American colonists, which manifested in the former taxes and troops. The American colonists began to protest and riot, which increased tension, eventually leading to the Battle of Lexington and Concord,

The defeat of the first United States army by a coalition of Native Americans is the focus in Collin Calloway’s The Victory with No Name. In this historical account, Calloway addresses what occurred on November 4th, 1791, when an Indian army consisting of a variety of Indian tribes, led by Little Turtle and Blue Jacket, ambushed the first American army near the Wabash River to protect themselves from American expansion of the Northwest Territory. The American army, led by Revolutionary War veteran Arthur St. Clair, was ill-equipped with men, horses, and weaponry, and ignorant about Indian whereabouts and tactics. Calloway organizes his argument by describing America’s desire for land, the invasion and settlement of Indian land, and the resistance formed by Native Americans. Calloway continues by illustrating the defeat of the American army and the aftermath of the battle between Native Americans and the U.S. By drawing on extensive historical evidence that illustrated the events before, during, and after the battle, Calloway presents a detailed historical narrative that challenges the idea that “winners write the history…even when they lose” and offers a narrative that shows both the Native American and the U.S. perspective, ultimately giving credit to the Indians for their victory. However, Calloway provides information that is irrelevant to his argument and the book, which makes it difficult to follow along throughout the story.
