My original name is Carl Smith but my friends call me CS. I’m 23 years old, I’m from Virginia and during the last years I have been traveling around the 13 colonies to fight the British soldiers. The reason why I joined the American Army over 6 Months ago is because I’m single, and I also was unable to get a job that I wanted was unable to receive my diploma, because I was unable to afford the stamp to be stamped on the certificate. I also joined the army because I was tired of all these decisions the British government took for us because we had no authority for example I was tired of the Kings’ unacceptable taxes over some items for example the stamp act. Soldiers are not professionals in modern English, for they might well first enter a military school or buy a commission... The stamp act was a tax put it to every official document, the list included Contracts, newspapers, and playing cards. Important people to colonies had to purchase these stamps. After all the sales the colony would take a good amount of money from all the stamps they sold. This new revenue was to collect money from the different colonies in the U.S. This tariff it was supposedly used to protect the British colonies, but in reality it was used to pay the national debt that the Seven Years war left to Great Britain .

Sometimes throughout history, events in real life happen that far exceed the story lines of novels and even some of the far-fetched movie plots. In order to keep from producing boring documentaries and to avoid confinement to a set script in history, screenwriters and directors often combine numerous true events into a new creation that only resembles or loosely portrays real life. These combined scenes can come from all different areas, countries, and even times. All in the name of entertainment and without having to be historically accurate. Early in 2000, the filmmakers out of Hollywood, California, created a film titled “The Patriot.” It was originally released as a fictional film for entertainment, but reiterated that it was loosely based on some historical events, but was still fictional, after attack from numerous historians. “The Patriot” portrays Benjamin Martin, a South Carolinian plantation owner, and his exploits for survival after the Revolutionary War forces its way into his family.

John Fitzgerald Kennedy, 35th President of United States, was born in Brookline, Massachusetts on May 29, 1917. His father, Joseph Kennedy Sr., was a wealthy investor who wanted his sons to be important figures in American politics.

In the late 1960s, Nathan McCall was a smart young African-American living in an all black neighborhood called Manor Cavalier, located in Portsmouth, Virginia. McCall was one of the five young children being raised by his mother and stepfather. First of all, he had two older brothers named Dwight, and then there was Billy, followed by McCall himself, a younger brother Bryan Keith and eventually a stepbrother named Junnie. In a family there is always that person that loves to absorb knowledge; that person was Nathan the one that enjoyed school and books. However, being surrounded by bad influences, living in a bad neighborhood and not to mention living in a time of racism affected his motivation to succeed in the future. The purpose of this essay is that it will demonstrate that someone being labeled as something they are not will affect that person’s future life. Using the labeling theory, the paper will explain that being insulted, humiliated and treated less than a person can lead a youngster to become an aggressive and careless child. Therefore, strategies that will help these youngsters to overcome these racial abuses and false libeling’s are by giving equal opportunities and treatments to anyone, no mater of their past mistakes when they simply want to adjust back to society.

For my presentation, I would like to present a president not known much in this time and age but one who, in 1880, made drastic changes to the American government. This man was Chester A. Arthur. The following material is what I have learned in American Government for only but one year, I have still learned more than what I already knew at the beginning of my high school career.

The last fundamental that I learned was how to do research.

Through this book, it is easy to see why George Washington is referred to as one of the greatest Americans to ever live.

What is History? This is the question posed by historian E.H. Carr in his study of historiography. Carr debates the ongoing argument which historians have challenged for years, on the possibility that history could be neutral. In his book he discusses the link between historical facts and the historians themselves. Carr argues that history cannot be objective or unbiased, as for it to become history, knowledge of the past has been processed by the historian through interpretation and evaluation. He argues that it is the necessary interpretations which mean personal biases whether intentional or not, define what we see as history. A main point of the chapter is that historians select the facts they think are significant which ultimately
