Patriot Day Research Paper

As you know Veterans Day is on November 11. There are many reasons why we should honor veterans every year. This essay is going to be three reasons why I think we should honor them. They are willing to give up their lives for their country, willing to give up some of their freedom to protect the lives of people, and have to deal with the problems that come after they have served.

The movie, The Patriot, is the story of a South Carolina plantation owner, Benjamin Martin, who leads a local militia against British troops in the South during the beginning of the American Revolutionary War. Martin, who is a widower with six children and a veteran of the French and Indian War, wants nothing to do with the war until a brutal British Colonel, William Tavington, kills one of his sons and takes his eldest son, a member of the Continental Army, prisoner. Martin, who’s character is loosely based on Francis Marion, the Swamp Fox, uses guerrilla warfare to cut British supply lines and attack outposts in an attempt to slow General

The “Patriot” takes place in South Carolina in 1776 during the Revolutionary War. It is a story about a widowed father of seven, named Benjamin Martin. Benjamin was involved in the French and Indian War before marrying and starting a family. He is reluctant to join the conflict as he remembers too well his own experience in the earlier French and Indian War. After his wife passed away he does everything to keep his family together and away from war. He is a patriot who wants no part in a war with Britain.

As of February fifth, 2017, the New England Patriots have solidified their placement as the best NFL Dynasty in the history of the National Football League. Not only does The Patriots have the most winningest quarterback in terms of super bowl wins, but Tom Brady as New England’s quarterback has more super bowl championships won then twenty-eight other professional organizations in the NFL.

In the past, while learning about the American Revolution I had always thought of America as a united front. The war between the Patriots and Loyalists could even be compared to the war between America and Britain. The Patriots were not justified in abusing and expelling the Loyalists. In the actions the Patriots took against the Loyalists, they violated their unalienable rights, these actions also allowed for history to repeat itself through the civil war in 1861.

Larry Schweikart believes despite the excessive racism, sexism, and bigotry throughout the history of the United States, when the story is told “fairly,” all that can be taken away is a sense of awe at the obstacles overcome, the blood split, and the nation built. Although corruption can be seen over the course of time, the freedom of the nation overcame all else and created a bright light of a society in a world of dark oppression. Schweikart emphasizes the idea that history is often taught from a single, biased perspective, clouding the true image of the American nation as it progressed over time. He also emphasizes the ideals of character, tied to liberty, tied to property, and how they were all necessary for success. More generally, Schweikart believes that throughout the history of the United States, it has proven time and time again to be a nation based on the principles of freedom and justice, exemplified through its actions in every aspect, such as the liberation of people’s and bringing them to a higher state of living, and the sharing of power with those who had none, no matter where they came from, or who they were. “All men are created equal”; the United states is the “last, best hope” of earth; and America “is great because it is good” all extend Schweikart’s basic ideals that the United States’ history, when viewed with the basic ideal of “the ends justify the means,” creates a story

Is going 0-16 the way to be better prepared for future seasons? Looking on the NFL now the New England Patriots are arguably the best team in the league. Yet, The Cleveland Browns are going to be one of the best teams in just a few short seasons. When looking at the two organizations the Browns are better equipped for the future than the reigning Super Bowl Champions.

When everyone was asleep they had a surprise batlle. Some were killed and some were wounded. In the summer of 1778, Balor´s unit was stationed in paramus New Jersey. 5,000 British troops landed at Paulus hook to engage foraging operations to gather supplies for the army in New York and for upcoming invasion of the South. The American Patriots were unsure what the British mission was, so they arrayed their forces in the arc across northern New Jersey to prevent british from Marching up to Huston. After hearing America that America Militia was in the area british General Charles Cornwallis decide to go after them and march north.

“And the Patriots line up at the ten-yard line. This could be the game winning play for them. The snap is good, and Brady fakes a pass. Wait! He passes the ball, hoping that it could land in the arms of Julian Edelman, and it does! The Patriots defeatedthe Falcons, 34-28!”

The Super Bowl is the biggest game of the year. This year’s game will be an amazing one. The Eagles will face the Patriots in a rematch of the Super Bowl 13 years ago. The Patriots are the favorite of most, but the Eagles, after a breakout season, are going to give the defending champs all they can handle. Here’s why:

“Tobacco, coffee, alcohol, hashish prussic acid, strychnine, are weak dilutions; the surest poison is” pride. Although it’s intangible, it can be a poison to a person’s life. Pride can get in the way of peace and love. It’s hard for mankind

The Sons of Liberty were the men that fought for this country to be the way it is today. With them at the helm nothing seemed impossible, though about half of the colonists were still loyal to England at the time of the Revolutionary War. Some choose to believe these men to be villainous gutter-punks. However they were great men and did many beneficial things for this country, such as they showed others to stand for their own beliefs build the democracy of today.

The football season is here and that means so is fantasy football. Here are the players who should start, sit and are risks, but can make an enormous impact in any given game.

American history usually starts with Columbus and the famous myths surrounding the “founding” of the New World. As children we learn about how Columbus fought against all odds to convince the king and queen of Spain to fund his voyage to prove the world was not flat. As we grow in our understanding of history we find that most of the world, at that time, already knew the world was round. So why do we believe in these myths? We believe in these types of myths because they make the central character or characters appear larger than life, much like a Hollywood blockbuster. In the 2000 film the Patriot, directed by Ronald Emmerich, and distributed by Columbia Pictures; we follow the story of American Revolution as seen through the eyes of a
