Hi Davon,
I read your post and I was fascinated, I can understand your way of thinking and you values. It’s nice to know that their still people that are transcendence and believe that life should beautiful without bad and negative stuff around them. Being a grateful person is good because, you feel full of life and be able to obtain your goals. I gree with you about forgiveness values, I think that a lot of people experience that in their life, I am want of them, I don’t like to hate that a word that I don’t said and don’t think of it. I just put the negative in the same but I don’t forget, I learned to be alert. Great post.
The Dred Scott Decision of 1857 ruled that African-Americans, even ones who were not enslaved, were not protected under The Constitution and could never be citizens. This brings up questions that will be answered in this paper. Should slaves be American citizens? Is it morally correct for one to own another human? Does the Dred Scott decision contradict The Declaration of Independence which states that every man is created equal?
African-Americans in the South after the Civil War were new to the concept of freedom, yet that very small two syllable word meant a lot to them. Slaves were not considered as a piece of property that could be used and abused by their slaveholders anymore. Slaves families were separated by the effects of slavery, so the freed slaves immediately tried to reunite with their families. News finally reached Texas about slaves being freed on June 19th, 1865, also called Juneteenth. Juneteenth is considered one of the oldest known celebrations that commemorated the end of slavery in the United States. The news of the Emancipation Proclamation did not reach Texas until about two years after its public awareness because there was little Union
The south for a good while was always fond of using slavery as a cheap source of work. The increase in the number of slaves was when John Rolfe became one of the first to cultivate tobacco in the so called “New World back then in the 17th century. There was good money to be made about the amount of labor that went into the tobacco cultivation was harch, hence why slaves were used. Ever since then, it is obvious to note that slaves dominated the aspect of southern life. Whether that be economically, socially or politically, slaves played an important role in each category.

Hi Teagen! I agree with the idea that the expansion of suffrage to non-propertied white males in the 1820s and 1830s was an advancement in American political life. I found in the book that through the westward expansion, most of the new states in America allowed all white males to vote at the age of 21 (Faragher, 258). Also before 1800 only white males that owned property or were taxpayers could vote in most of the original thirteen states (Faragher, 257). This was important because it led to the presidential electors and governors to be elected by a direct vote of men from all classes, rather than by small groups of state legislators (Faragher, 258). I agree that this lead to delaying suffrage of white women and African Americans. This contradicts
Madera High is an ordinary high school in a fairly small town of about 60,000 people. Although the usual picture of bullying portrayed in the media does not occur here, there are still other forms of bullying and harassment that happen often. Cyberbullying has become the new form of harassment that teens use to bully other students. Social media is now the platform bullies prefer to use rather than the physical confrontation that bullying used to be. Through recent years, it has become an epidemic that has taken over the internet and social networks. It has made it even harder for students to get away from the bully or the person harassing them. At Madera High the amount of bullying seen at school by other students and staff is fairly low,
Hi Octavia. I also stated some of the same challenges you stated. It’s hard finding a balance between work, family, and studying. You want to be able to interact with your family once you leave work, but your focus should be on reading the next chapter. With me I can get side tracked easily. I’ll end up helping my little girl with her work and then she’ll want to go out for dinner or to play. Once I start to interact with her I lose track of everything. When everything is over, I have to go to bed for work. It’s hard but you have to have self-control. I must say in the past when I was taking online classes I had a great support team. My boyfriend was very understanding and supportive. Someone from my class was always available. It was a great
The United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America, UBCJA, is a labor union that advocates for worker rights. Founded in 1881, Peter J. McGuire and Gustav created the union in response to the lack of worker right laws in place. Since then, the union has grown substantially in size but still, lobbies for workers’ rights. The union lobbies for issues on a regional and national level. They have endorsed and contributed finically to presidential candidates. They have also endorsed and contributed finically to congressional candidates across party lines who they believe will help fight for worker rights. The union also provides several services to its members such as training, a pension fund, and welfare. The UBCJA has long fought for workers

From jail to jail, there can be similarities and differences. Each jailhouse has a unique way of housing inmates while following guidelines set by higher authorities. In the Huntington County Jail [HCJ] there are obvious differences when being compared to the Wabash County Jail [WCJ]. One building has a higher bed count than the other. Both buildings have at least one garage area; one has more than the other. However, to be cost efficient, both jails use trustees to do easy jobs or to become an informant.
I really want to know how does it feel to move from one place to another place like you because it is a rare situation in my home country. Based on my observation (most of them from movies lol) many people in the US are pretty much comfortable moving from one city to another city. People in my home country are very comfortable once they settle in a place, and choose to stay in the comfort zone instead of looking for a new challenge.
One morning morning in class, Mrs Setnan said to me as I was walking through the door,“Hi Khang Ly, how was your morning? Remember to pack your stuff because we are going on a field trip.” It turns out, all of the fifth grade was having a field trip. We were going to hike on the highest mountain in the world, The Ly Landmark.

What a week this has been! As many of you are already aware my grandfather was put into Surrey Memorial Hospital last Friday with a very bad case of pneumonia. The doctors are not sure if he will pull through but as of this email he is stable and resting and we have some hope that he might make it through but it is still a dicey situation. I and the rest of my family thank you for your many kind words. deeds, and prayers this week as we have struggled through this journey. I would ask that you continue to pray for not just myself but for all the others in our congregation who find themselves in tough places this week.
