The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) administers food assistance programs that help provide food for low to no income families. It is their goal to increase food security and reduce hunger by increasing access to food, a healthful diet, and nutrition education for low-income Americans (Caswell, 2013, para. 1). Some of the current nutrition assistance programs include “the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)”(Caswell, 2013, para. 1). SNAP will be the primary nutrition assistance program of the paper at hand. No matter how morally good it is to try to help reduce hunger and increase food security within the United States, there are still many questions regarding issues with SNAP. This paper will be discussing why there is such a strong support for the program, how it helps the United States as a whole, problems with the program, and why some people are against SNAP.

Education is a powerful tool and, when used correctly, it has the power to teach someone a new skill, transform his or her perspective, and encourage personal growth and development. Throughout this country, numerous agricultural education programs help students to learn more about and deepen their understanding of one of this nation’s most valuable industries: the agricultural industry. Most importantly, these programs play a major role in helping to combat the lack of

Did you know that before the late sixteenth century few besides the Indian tribes knew of the Georgia territory? Even though, Hernando Desoto traveled through Georgia during his expedition in the 1500s, the growing interest in this area wasn’t until King Charles II granted Carolinas a land expansion in 1663. Georgia was not only the beginning of a new commonwealth, destined to become an important State of the American Union, but also the spirit and purpose led to the colonization of Georgia becoming one of the most significant events in its History. Even so, what was England’s purpose to partake in colonizing the thirteenth and final original colony? After much research, I found that there are many motives as to why England formed the colony of Georgia, but the significant intentions were to aid the unfortunates, to express the idea of mercantilism, and to set up defenses against Spanish Florida.

As a person that has grown most of my own food, without chemicals or engine powered equipment, for the last 15 years and lesser so for many more years I can relate to some degree what it may have been like for a farmer in the 1800’s (I even live in a house built in 1850).

America — a land known for its ideals of freedom and new opportunities, a nation built under the idea that every man and women is created equal. However, the definition of what makes a person an American is entirely different from what it is that makes up America, itself. J.Hector St. John Crevecoeur, author of Letters from an American Farmer (1782), exposes what he believes makes an American. However, when compared to the standards of what makes an American in today’s world, it seems that becoming an American then was much simpler then, than it is today. The definition of an American is always evolving due to the influences of our changing nation. During a simpler time, Crevecoeur defined an American as someone of European

After the Civil War there were many factors that contributed the changes that occurred in farming in America. Among them was the drive for the South to renew and regain what had been lost due to the war. Leaders saw it as a time to diversify and turn towards industrialization. The Industrial revolution was underway and with it brought many new inventions that would lead to growth in the farming industry. The wide open space between the East and the West called “The Frontier” was open for homesteading. New immigrants with their farming knowledge and ability were flooding the East and West gates of the U.S. This was a time in American history when Americans

Pieces of Georgia by Jen Bryant is about a girl named Georgia, who is given a read journal. Like her mother, Georgia is quite the artist. She later receives a letter granting her a free membership to the Brandywine River Museum, and things begin to change. The quote "Books fall open, you fall in," shows that people connect to the story, and that the reader would want to put himself in the character's shoes to experience what she's been through.

As the population of the young United States increased more and more people hungry mouths were asking for food. Farmers had to keep up with new technology but there were also many setbacks in government policy and economic conditions. In the period of 1865-1900, there were many ways in which technology, government policy, and economic conditions changed early American agriculture.

Although all of the 13 colonies were crucial in creating the U.S. we know today, Georgia played the biggest part due to them protecting the northern colonies from the Spanish and the French, acting as a refuge for multiple religions, and their relationship with the natives.

Arguing that the majority of farmers during the Great Depression benefitted from the government policies produced through President Roosevelt’s New Deal is an inaccurate claim. While history textbooks highlight the improvement of finances for people in rural areas in the United States of America, the personal experiences of family farmers contradict those textbooks. Writers of textbooks about American history should consider looking further into the delicate topic of how the Great Depression effected common farm families. In the West, farmers endured the Dust Bowl. In the North, people in rural areas competed to make a profit. Although statistics show the most economic damage of the Great Depression beginning at the end of 1929, small farm families refer to the effects of the Depression dating back as early as 1925 since government policies mostly benefitted large farm industries as small farms were forced to foreclose.

In 1874 Arkansas developed a new state constitution and thus ended reconstruction. At that time, democrats gained control over the state in an attempt to “redeem” Arkansas and restore white supremacy. The cultural heritage of the South stayed the same, but a lot of changes were beginning to take place in the economy of the “New South”. The economy of Arkansas was almost always exclusively agricultural, but in the New South agriculture was changing and new sources of economy were emerging; leading to shifts in politics as well.

Georgia was admitted as a state in 1788 and was one of the Confederate States of America. It was once primarily a farm state, producing large amounts of cotton, but has since become a major manufacturing and service industry state. Georgia is named for George II of England. It is bordered by Tennessee, South Carolina, Alabama, North Carolina, and Florida.

I woke up before my alarm. A distant square of eerie half-twilight from the window held the familiar outline of the locust tree. In the dark, I fumbled to dress without waking my parents. I slipped outside.
