The Paxton Boys were a group of Scot-Irish men who were retaliating against the American Indians, in 1763. They were fighting against the American Indians in the residuum of the French and Indian War and the Pontiac’s Rebellion. The Paxton boys invaded a small group of Conestoga Indians in Lancaster County. During the riot fourteen indians were being taken captive, six were murdered, and all of the prisoners were killed weeks later. The American Indians had not caused any problems before. They were always peaceful among their neighbors and had never experienced such a phenomenon, until this one.

I sat down with Randy Hoover, a veteran and retired state trooper now conducting private security for a retirement village in Tennessee. I’ve known Randy from going to the same church and having him as my youth counselor while I was in High School. I didn’t really fully know Randy until I sat down with him and asked him about his career. He has always been a mentor to me and always made sure life was good to me. Having been given the opportunity, I sat down with Randy to see what the average day of a trooper is truly like. Since being involved in law enforcement is my current career interest I found him to be the perfect candidate. After talking with him, I came to the conclusion that the life of a law enforcer is very different

Smith was kidnapped by a group of Indians while leading an expedition on the Chickahominy River. The Indians had plans to kill Smith, he saved his life by giving the Chief a compass and a globe like jewel. Plans had still been made to kill John in a more cosmopolitan way, in which Pocahontas had spared his life. Opposing to John’s experiences, which had turned into a good relationship, William’s experiences with the indians were good from the beginning. Bradford chose to live among the Native Americans peacefully for the most part and trad and converse with them, thus constructing a relationship which would benefit Bradford and his crew greatly in years to come.These new found relationships resulted in the Indians teaching the Pilgrims useful skills on how to survive. With the help of fellow Indians, Bradford’s commons learned how to plant crops and live in the new America. The colonists and Indians lived in a mutually harmonious

However, when Chief Powhatan died in 1618, his brother, Opechancanough, immediately attacked the colonists. The settlers then launched a counter-attack, successfully pushing back the Native Americans. From then on, the Native Americans were cemented as the enemy. However, Opechancanough eventually attacked again. In a matter of two days, 500 Virginians ended up dead. The colonists captured the chief and killed him. The resulting treaty allowed the Native Americans to have the unsettled wilderness to live on, as ong as they allowed the already settled land to belong fully to the colonists. The Virginians were not happy with this; they needed that land for farming. At the time, there was a surplus of past indentured servants that needed to start their own farms to make a living. This was one reason for Bacon’s Rebellion; many of these poor servants rallied behind Nathaniel

Threats and attacks on neutral Indians were common among soldiers. Indians lived near the forts in order to trade. Soldiers were constantly afraid and “garrisons spent more time dreading attack than undergoing it”. (130) The soldiers had no way to know if there were spies among them, which made them suspicious of all so sometimes they just killed them all. Even when the killing never happened, the threats, bullying, drinking and bragging by both whites and Indians kept the fear going.

Nowhere was this more evident than Pennsylvania, where the conflict shattered the decades old rule of the Quaker elite and dealt the final blow to the colony’s policy of accommodation with the Indians. During, the war, with the Frontier ablaze with battles between settlers and French and Indian warriors, western Pennsylvanians demanded that colonial authorities adopt a more aggressive stance. The war deepened the antagonism of western farmers toward Indians and witnessed numerous indiscriminate assaults on Indian communities, both allies and enemies. (Foner, 170)

There was a shot fired. The Native fell back onto the ground as the others watched in horror. It wasn’t long before an all out battle was taking place. The scent of gunpowder filled the air, natives were swinging fists on soldiers and taking weapons back from the wagon. The horses were fleeing the scene, galloping as fast as they could.

In my eyes, doctors are angels in the world, because doctor’s duty is to saving people’s life. So I want to introduce Norman Bethune, a distinguished doctor who contributed a lot to the world. “Internationally, in the opinion of some, he is the most famous Canadian” (Hannant, 1998). Norman Bethune was born in Canada in 1890. He was a talented doctor who graduated from University of Toronto. Bethune also attended many wars and saved many wounded soldiers. On the ruthless battlefield, doctor is another kind of hero with the duty to saving life. Norman Bethune, an influential Canadian physician, medical innovator, contributed to both Canadians and non-Canadians by creating surgical tools, encouraging health care and services in Canada and helping

Due to the unworthy acts of the so called “protectors” of the colonists, five men are dead and six others have been injured. The soldiers fired and killed, without orders, five men who were irritated by the controlling English parliament. The soldiers have claimed this massacre as an act of self-defense, but the killing of unarmed men is anything but self-defense.

Throughout all of the world's important events there have been people there, experiencing these affairs first hand. There is no better source for information than somebody who has lived through the topic of discussion. That is why no website can compare to talking to somebody who lived through the event. Dan Abbott is one of those people who has lived through some very important events in human history and can talk about it. Dan Abbott is a retired emergency department doctor who has served in the military in the cold war. He was an officer and flew in a patrol helicopter along the border of East and West Germany. He got out of the draft for many years because he was going to college and medical school but after he graduated he was forced to go to Germany and defend against the Communists. This interview taught me a lot about my grandads life, gave me a lot of perspective on how the war in Germany affected him and also how it is important to talk about our pasts.
