The Johnson County War Summary

I think the central idea of “From War To America” by Kristen Lewis is that hope is stronger than fear. I think this because in the text it says, “...Six million Syrians have lost their homes...”. This is a time that you need hope and not fear because you have lost the little you have and the place you grew up in. Another example where you need hope more than fear is, “ ...4 million people at risk of starvation…”, this text shows that if the people of Syria lost hope they would have died and let fear get the best of them. One last example of how hope is stronger than fear is, “Bullets whizzed around them. They ducked behind a wall to catch their breath.” This shows that if they would have let fear get the best of them, they would have been in

McDonough, James L. War In Kentucky: From Shiloh to Perryville. Knoxville: University of Tennessee Press, 1994

When several Southern states broke off from the United States after President Abraham Lincoln’s election, the support for forming a new nation in the South was far from uniform. In Alabama, Winston County threatened to secede from the state if she decided to secede from the Union. The residents of Winston County did not believe that seceding was in the best interest of the Democratic Party, or the country as a whole. Although the county pulled back from the bold step of secession and hoped to remain neutral in the conflict, it remained under state control and was the scene of violent acts of retribution during the war.

One may ask the question, “Why did small countries want to start wars with countries that were world powers?” Grant it, the U. S. become an independent country by starting a war with the world’s largest empire, Britain, during the 1700s. One may see it like a small boy picking a fight with the biggest boy in school, maybe the individual wanted respect or he did not want others to bully him. So, why did Japan start a war with the U. S.? Japan definitely had a large enough military, about 1,000,000 to 2,000,000 soldiers willing to die for their Emperor. Japan also welcomed any type of ground invasion, it was their homeland and obviously they knew the terrain. Japan understood that they would have the upper hand if the U.S. invaded and there would

While trying to retrieve some nephews from a British prison ship, Andrew 's mother also fell ill and died. An orphan and a hardened veteran at the age of fifteen, Jackson drifted, taught school a little, and then read law in North Carolina. After admission to the bar in 1787, he accepted an offer to serve as public prosecutor in the new Meroe District of North Carolina, west of the mountains, with its seat at Nashville on the Cumberland River. Arriving in 1788, Jackson thrived in the new frontier town. He built a legal practice, entered into trading ventures, and began to acquire land and slaves. Jackson 's rise in Tennessee politics was meteoric, attesting to his strength of character. In quick succession, he was a delegate to the state

Arriving in 1788, Jackson thrived in the new frontier town. He built a legal practice, entered into trading ventures, and began to acquire land and slaves. Jackson 's rise in Tennessee politics was meteoric, attesting to his strength of character. In quick succession, he was a delegate to the state constitutional convention in 1795, then Tennessee 's first congressman, then a senator. He resigned his Senate post after one year to take a job closer to home, as judge of Tennessee 's superior court. In 1802 he challenged Governor John Sevier for election as major general in command of the state militia. Jackson 's senior by more than twenty years, Sevier was a veteran of the Revolution and of many Indian campaigns, and the state 's leading politician. Jackson beat him for the generalship, but the aftermath brought the two men to a showdown in the streets of Knoxville, followed by preparations for a duel. Jackson resigned his army commission and was appointed governor of the new Florida Territory in 1821. He presided over the transfer of

The militia war started in Pope County in 1865-1874. The conflict was between the reconstruction government and the county partisans. Isaac Murphy was elected governor before the war began. Pope County lacking a large slave economy had been divided into terms of loyalty. There was more than 7,000 men in the Militia War. After the war, the nation divided itself. Isaac Murphy appointed Mr. Napier, which use to be an officer of the federal office. He and his partner were shot on the ride back to Pope County. Dodson was a prisoner and after he got out, he was shot at Perry Station three miles east of Atkins in Pope County. He lived until the afternoon of February 18, ten men were charged with murder, but no one dared arrested them and set off a

Period Two: During the 1607-1754, the fight for control of America was at one of the highest points in American history. While some conflicts did occur with the European's "mother country," the fighting mainly occured between the natives and foreign invaders. The relationship with the natives and the invader almost entirely depended on the country from which they came. For instance, people from Spanish, French, and Dutch colonies actively participated in "intermarriage and cross-racial sexual unions with native people." However, for English colonies, this was a rarity. There is one famous case where intermarriage occured to prevent a war between Virginia and the Powhattans. This was the marriage of John Rolfe and Pocahontas. There were many

Before the Civil War, the issue of slavery and the tensions between the North and the South was evident in America. In order for there to be a balance between the Northern and Southern representatives in the Senate, there would have to be an equal number of slave and free states within the country. In 1820, Missouri wanted to enter as a state, so the Missouri Compromise allowed Missouri to be admitted as a slave state, while Maine was to be admitted as a free state (Document 1A). It also said that no future slave state would be allowed above the 36° 30’ line. It was believed that this compromise would solve the sectional tensions, however, politicians continued to debate on the issue, which further led to a greater divide between the North

War is a dangerous game, many people would likely agree to this, however, very few have ever seen a battlefront. The truth is that war, no matter how awful we can imagine it, is always exponentially worse. In Timothy Findley’s The Wars, Robert Ross, the protagonist,­ faces a situation that he finds difficult to come to terms with, and when faced with a similar situation later on in the novel, he must take drastic measures to reconcile the uncertainties of the past situation. Timothy Findley suggests, through the life of Robert Ross, that one’s need to reconcile the uncertainties of past experiences dominate our actions when such situations come up again in our lives. In the words of Hiram Johnson, a US Senator during the First World War,

Before reading Unit 4, I heard little bit about civil war where more than 6,20,000 Americans had lost their life which including the murder of 50,000 innocent Southern civilians. The Tensions between the northern and southern united states over issues of states’ rights v/s federal authority. After reading in Unit 4, I found

D. A. Pennebaker’s The War Room is a film about the figures behind the scenes of a political campaign. Given a subject that historically lends itself to drama and narrative tension, Pennebaker makes active choices in filming and editing to find the story within the story. The film becomes a sort of meta-art: a media narrative about the people responsible for controlling media narratives. Pennebaker approaches the film as an appreciation of fellow craftsmen, giving credit to James Carville and George Stephanopoulos’ tactical brilliance. Through the use of carefully thought-out editing, intentional camerawork, and intimate access, The War Room lays bare the hidden layers of communication present within the campaign.

Given that many plants need to be sown and then reaped when fully grown, the metaphorical conceptualization of people as plants may, accordingly, be elaborated to include a reaper, more specifically a conceptualization of death as the Grim Reaper (Lakoff & Turner, 1989, pp. 16, 75):

War has influenced economic history profoundly across time and space. Winners of wars have shaped economic institutions and trade patterns. Wars have influenced technological developments. Above all, recurring war has drained wealth, disrupted markets, and depressed economical growth.
