On that clear May night near the Mystic River of New England, hundreds of Pequot Indians were killed by the Europeans and their allies, most of the victims being the elderly, women, and children. This massacre was a massive turning point in the Pequot War, effectively ruining the tribe.

The best resume to having during the early years of the government, was one’s political experience. In the election of 1796, “Adams was virtually unbeatable,” (180) he had made “American independence his life’s project” (180). His opponent was Thomas Jefferson, a great friend of Adams. They began their friendship during the Congenital Congress, where Adams himself recommended Jefferson to author the Declaration of Independence. But their friendship flourished when Adams and Jefferson served in Europe. History and the American Revolution had brought these two men together; they were the odd couple of the generation. Prior from running for president, Thomas Jefferson collided and “his brother from Virginia,” James Madison. As they shared the same beliefs and come from the south, “Jefferson and Madison had bonded as Virginians” (188). As their friendship grew, they cemented themselves as the leaders of the new found Republican party. This was the party that opposed the Federalist Party, who’s

Too often, society measures success by wealth, power, and status. In American society, those favored by pop culture like the Kardashians tend to wield more influence than rocket scientists or brain surgeons. Acting as a major determining factor of how success is perceived, power often trumps attributes such as intelligence and determination. However, Booker T. Washington firmly disagreed. He posited that how far a person advances and how many obstacles he overcomes should determine success. While Washington’s reasoning is valid in theory, the position one has achieved remains ultimately more significant in certain facets of life.

Our country thought we were safe from terrorist attacks due to the oceans that separated us. We discovered on that horror-filled day that we were extremely incorrect. Our own resources were used against us in those atrocious acts of terrorism. America was transformed from the numerous consequences that came from 9/11. Despite the attacks, the leaders and our nation came together for support and comfort.

After a successful college career at an elite university Governor Clinton decided make the move home to his birth state of Arkansas. Hillary Rodham begrudgingly followed along with fierce independence and a law degree. Rodham maintained a job at the university of Arkansas after her husband’s loss in a congressional election, and practiced law through court appointments. Eventually her husband would successfully run and become Arkansas’s Attorney General, then Governor. As Hillary continued to practice law, her focus would eventually shift to early childhood education and health. Rodham wasn’t what Arkansas envisioned for a first lady at the time. She was a working wife, who refused to take her husbands last name, and didn’t seem to fill the role as a traditional homemaker. Still, her husband remained fairly popular after his rebounding election in 1982. In 1992 and 1996, Clinton easily carried the state, although that was the last time a Democrat would take the six electoral votes from Arkansas. Now in a matchup with New Yorker Donald Trump, it is highly unlikely Arkansas’s former first lady will come close to Trump in the Natural State. Racial distribution, religion, education, a large rural population, and indications from previous elections, all point toward a significant Clinton defeat on November eighth.

She was an active participant in her husband’s campaigns. “I made appointments for speaking, recruited speakers, answered newspaper attacks, contracted for the printing and distribution of circulars and sample ballots,” she recalled, “and more than all, kept a brave face to the foe and a smiling face to the almost exhausted candidate.” Her presence on the campaign trail—an unusual place to find a woman then—drew fire from William’s opponents. She would later recall, “I did not stop to think what a change this was for a young woman considered only an ornament and household mistress.” As William’s congressional secretary in “Washington City,” she managed her husband’s correspondence and speeches while writing columns for two local newspapers
