Jackso Jackson Narrative

Due to the cover of the woods and their uniform, the American soldiers easily blended into their surroundings. The soldiers began to take aim at the approaching British army, with their rifles and assault rifles, along with some machine guns and mortars. The order was simple, yet clear. The American Joint Forces would not hit the British till they fired their cannons to signal to the Hessians at the pass below. However, all guns were trained upon the British army as thousands of men waited for the signal. After about an hour of waiting, they finally got the signal they were looking for. The British fired two heavy cannons to signal the Hessians to start

Although not a single British gun was disabled, the British lost twenty-seven men to American fire. After about three hours the British guns fell quiet because they had run out of ammo. General Jackson also welcomed reinforcements; on January 4, the missing Kentucky militiamen, 2,368 strong, began to arrive. But the general was worried because they had only seven hundred guns. Worse, the militiamen were in terrible shape, ragged clothes and half-starved. Jackson got warm clothes from New Orleans and convinced the mayor to give up enough rusty Spanish muskets from the city’s armory to arm four hundred of the new arrivals, but they were placed well in the rear of his line, along with their unarmed comrades, as a reserve. It was a smart plan, but on January 8, the day of the attack, things started going wrong almost instantly. Thornton’s boats became stuck in mud when a dam, constructed by Cochrane’s naval engineers collapsed, and the water in the canal that was supposed to float them into the Mississippi ran the other way, toward Lake Borgne. Thornton got only 450 of his fourteen hundred men across the river. On January 9, American work parties joined the British in burying the

Joe Jackson “Shoeless Joe” was a Major League Baseball (MLB) player, born on July 16, 1887 in Pickens County, South Carolina. His throw was right-handed and his batting was left-handed. He was 6’1 and played in the left outfield. He first played for the Greenville Spinners, a semi-pro team; he was then noticed and picked up by the Philadelphia Athletics from 1908 to 1909. He was then traded to the Cleveland Indians and played from 1910 to 1915. The last team he was traded to in his career was the Chicago White Sox from 1915 to 1920.

I had to order them to move back into line on the right wing. As the attacks and counter attacks of the 15th Alabama and 20th progressed, men became scrambled into smaller groups and attacks from the right wing eventually pushed the left wing of the 20th Maine to higher ground. Intervals of the struggle were seized to gather ammunition from the cartridge boxes of the disabled friend or foe on the field as ammunition ran low. Far to the rear of the 20th Maine, our men and those of the 83rd Pennsylvania and 44th New York Regiments began receiving fire from the right end of the 15th Alabama line at higher ground . It was then that Lieutenant Martin Van Buren Gifford who was sent by Captain Woodward of the 83rd to ask if we had been turned, but I denied and asked for a company to shore up our left wing . Captain Woodward couldn’t spare a company but fortunately, he would pull back the left wing of his regimental line and straighten it to the left, closing the gap between the 83rd, for me to move my right wing to the left. However, continued attacks by the left wing of the 15th Alabama forced companies E, I, K, and D of the 20th Maine to fall back up the slope of Little Round Top . Heavy fire opened from a scrub wood in the valley in two lines in rank by the right, taking us by surprise. By then, ammunition was soon exhausted and our men were

A democratic society was on the rise and many Americans believed in equality but ignored enslaved African Americans. Government moved out of the houses of rich men and into the houses of the middle and lower- classes; education improved, suffrage laws were enacted, and newspapers were increasingly circulated. The political parties greatly changed; third parties began to rise, four candidates were chosen for one party, and Andrew Jackson lost his first election to John Adams. Adams lost his reelection to Jackson; both of whom created smear campaigns for each other, this improved voter turnout. Jackson represented the common man, throughout his presidency he served

The campaign started by Jackson defending Virginia against the Union. After gaining several victories for the Confederate Army Jackson joined General Robert E. Lee’s army in the Peninsula. When Jackson was defending Virginia’s capital city of Richmond against General George McClellan’s Union troops, from June 15th to July 1st in 1862, he was in a slump and showed very poor leadership (Stonewall Jackson biography, 2016). But during the Seven Days Battle Jackson redeemed himself with his “foot cavalry” in the battle of Cedar Mountain. Jackson’s army had 15,000 to 18,000 troops, but he was able to outmaneuver a Union army force of more than 60,000 men. Because Jackson’s army had moved so quickly they got the nickname “foot cavalry”. Since Abraham Lincoln divided the Union into three different parts Jackson used this to his advantage to attacked and confuse the separated Union forces. Over the course of the battles, Jackson had many victories over armies that were much larger than his, and because of all this Jackson was classified as the South’s first great war hero (Stonewall Jackson,

Doing so assisted in a combined fire action with Woodruff’s guns to slow the Union advance long enough to stabilize the situation on Bloody Hill. (George E. Knapp, 1953).

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

Bo Jackson is a former athlete recognized across the country. His time in the NFL and MLB was short compared to most athletes. An injury he sustained while in a game as the result of a tackle was what pulled his career as a professional athlete to an end. Bo Jackson did continue after his injury though he was not as his former state and retired shortly after. Through his time in both sports of football and baseball he was recognised for his incredible speed, strength and ability. Bo Jackson still is not in either hall of fame for reason of his short run in either sport. While no longer being widely recognized he has some characteristics of an epic hero that make him exceptional.

Mary Jackson was born April 9, 1921, Hampton, Virginia, U.S.A. She was a math genius and an aerospace engineer. most importantly she was the first African American female engineer to work and be the first flight engineers for NASA.

Jackson Jackson, or Jackson to the second power, is a homeless Native American man that lives in the Seattle Washington area. He is an honest and kind alcoholic that has no idea how to manage or spend money. Whenever he gets even five dollars, or any money, he usually blows it on alcohol. Until one day he sees his grandmother’s regalia in a pawn shop window and goes on a quest to win it back by getting nine-hundred ninety-nine dollars. He gets some money here and there, but he always ended spending it on himself or others and could not save up the money. Ultimately, he ends up getting the regalia through some hard work and kindness of the pawn shop owner. In “What you Pawn I Will Redeem,” Sherman Alexie uses the character Jackson Jackson to

It was well believed until Jackson’s forces began unloading rounds on the Union army stopping McDowell’s forces from advancing, holding the line like “a stone wall.” As the new Union recruits witnessed battle for the first time and felt the lack of preparation, they were quick to retreat back to Washington DC. The Southern victory and the tens of thousands of lives lost proved to the Union that this war was not going to be easily won.

On 2008, when Barack Obama was elected for President, almost every one was so thrilled to see this man lead the United States. People wore shirts of him, celebrities supported him widely, singers wrote songs about him, and everyone chanted his famous line Yes We Can. On 1828, a familiar man won the hearts of Americans and claimed the title as the President of the United States after a bitter defeat on the 1824 Election. Similar to Obama, Andrew Jackson was not just seen as a leader at that time, but an icon as well. People were on the verge of death just to touch the man: The man who was well-liked because of his major role in the War of 1812, the Seminole
