Mrs. Henrietta Levitt is a liberal because she believes in a big government, a small amount of quick progressive change, high taxes, more social programs, and a small military. The belief of a large government makes Henrietta a liberal because conservatives believe in a small government that does not interfere with private life. She believes in a government that helps people when they do not have lots of money along with not have housing or a job. Another reason Henrietta is a liberal is because she wants a small amount of quick progressive change. This could almost be classified as a radical point of view though because she wants change quick. Conservatives believe in little change backwards or no change at all, so she is the opposite of the

Lavinia developed a sense of belonging and family to people at Tall Oaks. There was a sense of unconditional love that overshadowed physical appearance. Throughout this piece of literature, "Abinia" had been transferred through social classes. She had taken on experience as an indentured servant to an acquaintance to head mistress. Despite the conversions, her mental always seemed to remain the same. The comment that she made about being enslaved was an exaggeration. This statement would have seemed more appropriate while she was still considered an indentured servant. From the time that Lavinia arrived to the Pyke's plantation, she took on a position as a family member to the big house slaves. She consumed the food and claimed a place of residence the same as the others. If during this moment of her life she would have made that declaration it would have been accepted, but he role in society

During the 1800s, women did not have the right to vote and were not given the rights that men had. Susan B. Anthony was a leader in the women’s rights movement. She founded the National American Women’s Suffrage Association. Anthony is the most widely known suffragist of her generation and is an icon of the women’s suffrage movement. Susan B. Anthony was born February 15, 1820, in Adams, Massachusetts to a cotton mill owner and his wife.

The Puritans based their lifestyles heavily on religious beliefs. Calvinism served as their primary religion. This religion encompassed beliefs that held on the idea that their lives have been planned out by God from birth and any disruption to that plan should be eradicated. During the 17th century, witch hunts occurred due in part to Puritan’s stringent religious way of life. The controversy between John Winthrop and Anne Hutchinson rose up out of sexism, pose of threat and flawed theory in the form of a trial against Hutchinson.

In the mid to late 1700's, the women of the United States of America had practically no rights. When they were married, the men represented the family, and the woman could not do anything without consulting the men. Women were expected to be housewives, to raise their children, and thinking of a job in a factory was a dream that was never thought impossible. But, as years passed, women such as Susan B. Anthony, Lucretia Mott, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucy Stone, and Elizabeth Blackwell began to question why they were at home all day raising the children, and why they did not have jobs like the men. This happened between the years of 1776 and 1876, when the lives and status of Northern middle-class woman was changed forever. Women began to

Celia, a Slave was a truthful elucidation of one disengaged episode that delineated basic slave dread amid the prior to the war time of the United States. Melton A. McLaurin, utilized this record of a youthful slave lady 's battle through the undeserved hardships of assault and unfairness to disclose to today 's guileless society a superior delineation of what servitude could have been similar to. The tale of Celia delineates the base of racial issues Americans still face in their general public. In spite of the fact that not about as great, they keep on living in a white-male overwhelmed society that looks downward on African-Americans, particularly females. McLaurin takes a gander at the perspectives of the time, and conjectures the probabilities of this pre - Civil War time, the estimations of which still puncture every day life in the United States.

The American Revolution was a war between the 13 colonies and Great Britain. The colonies, trying to gain their freedom, revolted against their mother country, which resulted in a war.

While women, African Americans, and foreigners participated in the American Revolution, their contributions and motivations varied.

The fight for women’s suffrage went on for about seventy years. Crazy right? In the early 1800’s, women were considered second class citizens. The role that we see women have to was not nearly as close to the roll they had back then. A woman’s place was to be at home, baring children, taking care of the family and the home. They were not allowed to have any interest in anything but home and family; nor were they encouraged to pursue a career or have an education. Many women did not even have the right to own property. Women today would not be where they are if it weren’t for the women’s suffrage movement. The first fight for women’s suffrage started with the Seneca Falls Convention

I, Clara Barton, am significant in American history. I am most commonly known for founding the American Red Cross. Before that, I grew up on a farm with my parents and four siblings, went to school, and was employed in the patent office and as a nurse. Without me, life today would be much different.

While this is typically not a book I would normally read, it is a very good read. It is easy to forget how hard life was for young kids in the 1600s. I know some kids have had to deal with hardships, but it is hard to compare to the kids growing up hundreds of years ago. Their parents hardships were also their burdens to carry. It seemed very common for someone like __ and her brother to be sent off to work to support their family.

The beginning of the story sets the theme for the whole story. We are told about the heart condition that inflicts Louise. This is significant throughout the story. The heart condition is a symbolic way of describing her thoughts of oppression she felt about her marriage. She was trapped and isolated by the marriage. She felt the need to hide these feelings. Women of her era were supposed to be home and under their husbands command. The story has her going through this journey privately. That is significant in the fact that now in her husband’s passing, she will be alone. She will need to work through things by herself. She will be able to go through the whole process on her own, without being judged and persuaded to feel differently.

Weddings, a joyful occasion where family and friends get together to celebrate the love of two people. Louna lost her father at a young age causing her mother to leave her simple farm life to live the opulent life of a well known wedding planner. Helping her mother run the business means Louna has seen more weddings than most people see in their whole lives. She focuses on work and has no desire to go out and meet people. Then she meets Ambrose, a charming and easy going boy who seems to have a new girl everyday. When he gets a job working with Louna and her mother, she is furious, but as time goes on she starts to think that maybe he is not as bad as she originally thought. While Ambrose is easy to characterize, Louna is fairly closed off so I have many questions about her past and predictions about what will happen between these two later in the book.
