It is the middle of the in 1778, there are men everywhere, cots full of ill soldiers, and smoke filled huts. Half of the population is sick and the soldiers have almost no fight left in them. There are few men with spirit left in the camps at Valley Forge. Thomas Paine states, “These are the times that try men's souls”, and as the men walk around injured, bleeding, frozen, and starving you do not only see hunger and pain, you would see what looked like poverty. Tattered clothing draped on the backs of the worn out soldiers, and starved, skeleton resembling bodies. Even though these harsh times will show the true colors of man, some are boasting with the red, white, and blue of patriotism. While innumerable people believe that there is almost no fight or spirit left, the soldiers that stay have hope to win this war. If I was a soldier at Valley Forge, I would stay. I would continue to

American colonists mainly descended from England and were loyal to the British Crown, however, politically the decisions made in the Continental Congress and the stopping of salutary neglect angered the colonists, socially, as a result of unfair taxes, colonists from all the colonies began to rebel and thus have their interests aligned which developed a sense of social unity, and economically after many unjust acts were carried out by the British Empire, the colonies began to help one another, therefore between 1750 to 1776 colonists began to cease their loyalty towards England and develop an independent American identity.

The British and French engaged in a war, that reached America and resulted in the Seven Years War, which lasted from 1754-1763. Before the war, the British showed little interest in running the colonies in America completely, as long as they still had there mercantilist policies. After war, there were major changes in American relations with Great Britain. The political, economic, and ideological relations were very altered at the time as there were changes within increased British control, debt resulting from war, and anti-British sentiments.

1.John Calvin- Martin Luther’s follower as a Protestant theologian, and the biggest figure in the second generation of the Protestant Reformation.

Over the centuries, America has welcomed presidents from different backgrounds and political viewpoints. Most men who became presidents didn’t win their way in by mentioning what they wanted to accomplish but by displaying empathy and kindness to the citizens. Franklin Roosevelt and Lyndon B. Johnson are two great examples of how they earned the citizens heart and support. However, their support and popularity didn’t assure their presidency would be a success which wasn’t as successful as their presidential vote victories.

Upon the 1908 presidential election Roosevelt announced he would not be running for president, and his Secretary of War, William Howard Taft became the Republican candidate and won the election. Taft made antitrust prosecutions and fought for the reduction of tariffs; some of his decisions went against his cabinet members thoughts and he began to lose support and blunder. With the 1912 election approaching old and new candidates began to emerge making a competition for the next leader of America who would provide relief from tariffs and big business practices. This was a critical time in our nation and the new leader would be responsible for further advancing the development and policies of America.

In 588 B.C a horrible act was started by the Babylonian Empire. The Babylonian captivity had started and was exiling the Hebrews from their land. This was a very hard time for the Jews. The exile had brought a significant amount of change to how Judaism was practiced. Before they got exiled by the Babylonians their life revolved around the temple in Jerusalem, which the Babylonians have destroyed. The Hebrews believed that this was an act of god like when they were slaves in Egypt and then freed. They believed that they have to still keep their beliefs till god saves them again. Since they didn’t have a temple to go to where they made animal sacrifices they shifted their minds to the religious side. This is what led to the rise of

There was even a colonial empire that was protected and it allowed the empire to become even more internationally involved

Valley Forge was a place where George Washington and his troops spent the harsh winter of 1777 and trained. I would have left Valley Forge because many people died, more were sick, and everyone was miserable. As stated in the Estimates of Illness and Death at Valley Forge (Doc A), about 50% of the people there got sick and about 32% of the people there died! That is about 4,000 that were sick and 2,500 people that died. As shown in the engraving of the Committee of Congress at Valley Forge (Doc B), you can see just how poorly the men at Valley Forge are doing (they are the men on the right side), you can see that some of them have no shoes, their clothes are falling apart, they aren't well fed, and they are poorly armed. George Washington is

George Washington and the rest of the soldiers need you at Valley Forge even though we all are suffering from illness. This all started on “December, the year of 1777”(Doc. A). That is when we had first arrived at Valley Forge and how all this have started. We are “not far from Philadelphia which is 18 miles away”. Will I quit and give up fighting? When I state the word ‘quit’, the correct meaning that is used in this situation is either you’re going not going to re-enlist after the time is up. There are both many valid reasons to re-enlist and not to. But, I have chosen to re-enlist. After all, us getting here in the first place is what we had signed up for. I did not come here to give up just yet.

In December 1777 George Washington and his troops arrived at Valley Forge. Valley Forge was 18 miles away from Philadelphia. Soldiers, barely surviving without the proper resources. They were sick, hungry,and cold. So the question is: If I had the choice would I re-enlist? I would not re-enlist for three reasons.Lack of supplies, the loss of soldiers, and that we needed inspiration. Also while in the army soldiers probably thinking “Will I make it out alive?”

With the Jewish expulsion from the land of Palestine, from the Romans. Their lives depended on endeavoring to survive in the land that they were coerced on. For some, assimilation was the only way to survive. It was either stay ostracized or assimilate and endeavor to become something. During the 18000s an incipient conception emerged from the Jewish people in many different counties. This conception came to what Zionism is, a way for the Jewish people to become a whole. Some Zionist vigorously repudiated the conception of assimilation to these countries. Some verbally expressed that assimilation is a slap to the Jewish people coerced out of the land of Palestine. While others verbally express living in the countries was like being ghost

In nearly every society, tales exist about people sacrificing their beliefs simply because that is what everyone else is doing, and they do not want to be left out. Humans, since the beginning of our time on Earth, have been heavily influenced by outside opinions, and I think human nature will continue this cycle until we no longer inhabit the Earth. Often times, it is easier (but not usually right) to “go with the flow” of what your peers are doing, rather than standing up for what is true. I believe this was illustrated in Arthur Miller’s The Crucible. The girls accusing the townspeople of witchcraft gained attention, something they did not previously have, and banded together, creating a strong, yet deadly, force. Other explanations exist, but there is no way to know for sure what the cause of the hysteria present in Salem was.

In addition to resistance, imperialists were met with some African compliance. While the moderate assimilation of African people was usually hesitant, it made it much easier for Europeans to impose indirect rule. This interaction is evident in Document 1. Document 1 is a treaty signed by multiple African rulers that allows the British Royal Niger Company to develop and industrialize the Niger River region. From the content of document, an inference can be made that the African rulers were reluctant to agree but recognized that in doing so, they would save themselves from native bloodshed. This is reinforced by Document 8, which was written by a German imperialist

The early half of the nineteenth century was a whirlwind of emotions for the american public. Society boomed the 1920s as world war one was over and done with and the consumer market grew to extraordinary measures. However, once the 1930s hit, the United States spiraled into a nation wide economic depression. Not much longer, the world threw itself into world war two in the 1940s. During most of this period Franklin Delano Roosevelt was the president, being that he served the nation as president from 1933 to 1945, and sought to stabilize America in every way possible. One of the ways this was done was through foreign policy. As the prospect of peace and then isolationism faded, America gradually went from supporting a government that avoided
