Case Study : ' Camp Jackson Affair '

Chapter 2 sums up the war in a different fashion, showing the contrast between the uselessness of past knowledge and the “raw and emotional skills necessary” in the trenches (20). The duties imposed on the camp by Corporal Himmelstoss symbolize the hours of work and duties done before enlistment that mean nothing during the war. Being “put through every conceivable refinement of parade ground soldiering” shows how schoolbook tasks were diligently performed only for fear of how society would perceive the boys if they were to do otherwise (26). Himmelstoss himself is the embodiment of previous responsibilities that only make the men “howl with rage” at present (26). The death of Kemmerich goes hand in hand with the death of innocence, Kemmerich’s shiny boots being the small glimpse of hope that keeps the men going. Baumer receives saveloy, hot tea, and rum from Muller for salvaging the boots. In return for giving Muller a sense of hope, Baumer receives a more needed sense of comfort and satisfaction. His hunger, one “greater than comes from the belly alone” (33), is thus satisfied. Chapter 7 directly reinforces this transition from an old life into a new one. Baumer “feels an attraction” to the

Dylan Knapp Hist/Human 253 Week Four Assignment 1) The opening quote of the book shows that Remarque is telling the reader that every person who fought in the war on either side believed that they were fighting a just cause. In chapter one Paul recollected that his friends and he enlisted voluntarily to prove their patriotism. This goes with the theme of nationalism where Paul and his friends join in the war based on nationalism ideals.

At Henry Hill, Gen. Jackson along with several others formed a large defensive line in order to support the disorganized retreated troops. The Union and the Confederates spent the beginning of the battle with their artillery firing at each other. But, the Union lacks the support for their artillery batteries and the Confederates take advantage of that fact. This is where the Union begins to crumble. The Union sends its troops in piece by piece, unable to permanently hold their artillery pieces. While

General Beauregard saw a battalion of troops advancing towards him. With both the Confederate and Union flags looking so similar, he wasn’t sure which side these men were on. It wasn’t until he was about to order retreat when a gust of wind unfurled the flag, showing the colors of the Confederate States of America. With this new influx of fresh troops, the Confederates were able to push back the Union. The Union army was not prepared for the new troops arriving, and a retreat was immenent. The Union army fled, but inexperience turned into chaos, with no one retreating with any organization. They were lucky. The Confederates were also mostly green to battle, and their inexperience and disorganization made them unable to pursue the Union

Whether it was basic training or life in the trenches, the men learned quickly that war was not all that it was said to be by their Professor. Kantorek, their schoolmaster, embeds this patriotism and nationalism for them to enlist immediately into the war. One of the first wake up calls for Paul and his friends has to be when they arrive to training. Here they are encountered by their friend Himmelstoss who was their former mailman. Himmelstoss also at this moment seems like he has lost his innocence. He takes his position as sergeant very seriously as he straightens out the new recruits, Paul and his friends. This training for the boys is the beginning to the end of their former life. Here, Paul and his friends arrive believing war was going to be a blast where they did not have to go to school anymore. Instead, they go through harsh exercises and challenges to prepare them for

He retreats back to the hills, convinced that Lee will return. He sends scouts to find information on the rebel troops and messages to General John Reynolds and General Gordon Meade about them; he waits for Reynolds before entering the town. He later receives word that the rebel army was on its way to Gettysburg and he sends a message to Reynolds stating he can hold ground but only if he can arrive

On November twenty-first, General Hood and his Army of Tennessee left Florence, Alabama to go to Tennessee. Hood did not want to fight in Tennessee unless there were an equal number of men on both sides fighting. He wanted to “recapture Tennessee for confederacy” (“Battle of Franklin and Nashville). The Confederates had 33,000 men (“Franklin”). They also had many corp commanders: Cheatam, Stewart, Lee, and Forest (The Carter House). The Confederates also consisted of seven divisions: “Walthal’s, Loring’s, two brigades of French’s ( Sear’s and Cockrell’s) of Stewart’s corp, Brown’s. Cleboune’s, and Bathes’ of Cheatham’s Corpes” (Banks 49). These divisions were marched from Spring Hill to Franklin. These men were worn out. They were tired and exhausted which probably made them not ready for battle (Banks 49). They were not treated well: they were “ill-fed and ill-clothed” (Lent). Although Hood saw his army being slaughtered, he remembered the rules of warfare: “he was

The incident at Ruby Ridge is known to be one of the most controversial crimes in recent history. Randy Weaver was being battered by the federal government after not appearing in court to face charges related to his selling of “two illegal sawed off shotguns to an alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms informant” (“Incident at” 1992). On august 1992, after so many surveillances by the U.S. Marshall, they came across Randy Weaver, 14 year old son and the family dog. A U.S. Marshall shot the family dog which made the son Sammy to fire at the Marshall. Unfortunately, the son Sammy and the U.S. Marshal were shot and both killed.

General Robert E. Lee had marched to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania with a few Confederate divisions. Since we lost General Thomas J. “Stonewall” Jackson in Chancellorsville, the rest of the war for us could end in a major disaster. To the Confederate’s

The firing on that fort will inaugurate a civil war greater than any the world has yet seen…you will lose us every friend at the North. You will wantonly strike a hornet’s nest which extends from mountains to ocean. Legions now quiet will swarm out and string us to death. It is unnecessary. It put us in the wrong. It is fatal. –Robert Toombs. (Boerner paragraph 2).

Mattie J. Jackson was born a slave in 1843 in St. Louis, Missouri. Her narrative was a book called “The Story of Mattie J. Jackson; Her Parentage—Experience of Eighteen Years in Slavery—Incidents During the War—Her escape from slavery. A True Story.” Similarly, like most slave narratives, it exemplifies the hardships of slavery up until to her freedom. Mattie’s narrative is a somewhat true depiction of a slave narrative because it is spoken through her mouth throughout the entire book except part of the preface. This is because the co-author is her stepfather’s wife; Dr. L.S. Thompson, who is black as well, and according to the “How to Read a Slave Narrative” article by the National Humanities Center most slave narratives were prefaced by a white person and rarely by a person of African descent (Andrews). According the narrative’s preface, she explains that her main goal for her book is to gain sympathy from people; others like herself, who were bound against their will by a dominant race; white slave owners (Jackson 2). Mattie’s other goal is to raise money from the profits of her book in order to have a greater education. Thus, she encourages people to learn to be literate as it benefits them greatly. The harsh treatment and unjust practices of slavery reaffirms the values of abolitionists, but the character of her mother goes against the racial stereotypes of slaves. Despite the slave narrative being about her, the narrative demonstrates an unusually specific story of her

I didn't realize that Jackson was creating a health care service. It would seem that the medicinal services passageway will be an awesome financial driver. It will spare more lives and convey greater excitement to Jackson i.e. more lodgings, shops, eateries, and patched up nightlife. Jackson truly needs this so that the group and in addition the city all in all can interface and grow.We require more monetary improvement and the framework from the medicinal services passage won't just convey more employments to the city, it will likewise give our city more acknowledgment. I feel that it could offer answers for real wellbeing inconsistencies that the city confront and furthermore answers for the absence of human services authorities that really
