Written by James C. Cobb, a distinguished history professor at the University of Georgia named B. Phinizy Spalding, Georgia Odyssey is a revolutionary book covering the state of Georgia from its humble beginnings as a colony in 1732 to the beginning of a new millennium in 2000. The book discusses James Oglethorpe’s original intentions for the colony, then through the ugly side beginning in 1751, when slaves were permitted into the colony. Slavery directly impacted the ever developing definition of American freedom, which is what Cobb conveys throughout the entire book. Personally, I had not given much thought to the reason of Georgia’s success as a state was because of the phenomenon of slavery.

Did you know that before the late sixteenth century few besides the Indian tribes knew of the Georgia territory? Even though, Hernando Desoto traveled through Georgia during his expedition in the 1500s, the growing interest in this area wasn’t until King Charles II granted Carolinas a land expansion in 1663. Georgia was not only the beginning of a new commonwealth, destined to become an important State of the American Union, but also the spirit and purpose led to the colonization of Georgia becoming one of the most significant events in its History. Even so, what was England’s purpose to partake in colonizing the thirteenth and final original colony? After much research, I found that there are many motives as to why England formed the colony of Georgia, but the significant intentions were to aid the unfortunates, to express the idea of mercantilism, and to set up defenses against Spanish Florida.

Pieces of Georgia by Jen Bryant is about a girl named Georgia, who is given a read journal. Like her mother, Georgia is quite the artist. She later receives a letter granting her a free membership to the Brandywine River Museum, and things begin to change. The quote "Books fall open, you fall in," shows that people connect to the story, and that the reader would want to put himself in the character's shoes to experience what she's been through.

Mercy Otis Warren was born on September 14, 1728. She was born to Cape Cod family. She wrote American poets, but she is dramatist, historian, and the first American woman to write things primarily for the public but not herself. She married a merchant and farmer, has five children. She wrote ‘Observations on the New Constitution.’

In order to fully understand the most publicized controversy surrounding Thomas Jefferson, his affair with Sally Hemings, it is important to grasp his relationships with other women in his lifetime. In a work dedicated specifically to the women of Jefferson’s life, historian Jon Kukla outlines the struggles that Jefferson experienced when faced with the building relationships with young women. He offers information regarding Jefferson’s intimate life that many biographical texts do not include. His argument reaches beyond Sally Hemings and Martha Jefferson; it begins with Jefferson’s youth, and his uncomfortable experiences with girls during his teen years. The first relationship that Thomas Jefferson ever hoped to engage in was with a young woman by the name of Rebecca Burwell.

She joined the fight for independence. She believed that they should be separated and free from Great Britain’s unfair taxes and laws. Her husband was in the war as well. She was very patriotic, she was even named a hero in Georgia.

The concept of the Republican Mother is an important idea that further demonstrates the indirect political influence women had as a result of the American Revolution. Unlike the examples of indirect political influence previously examined in this paper, the concept of Republican Mothers, and their influence, extends well past the revolution itself. Although women were still unable to influence politics through direct means, their influence as Republican Mothers demonstrated unprecedented political power and power that lasted well past the revolution itself.

Caroline Janney's book is to restore the Ladies' Memorial Associations place in the historical narrative by exploring their role as the creators and purveyors of Confederate tradition in the post-Civil War South. Janney examines the reasons why middle and upper class southern white women shaped the public rituals of Confederate memory, Reconstruction, and reconciliation. She is moving into a little studied area to provide a rich vision of how these women shaped the memory of the Confederacy. It is found within these ladies many of the relationships of memory and memorials created within the Lost Cause movement that persists today.

Rebecca Hardy died in a hospital where she had been airlifted with “severe facial and neck injuries” after the Dec. 3 attack at a Port Huron home, according to the Port Huron Police Department.

Her work experience and historical knowledge is clear, and her historical facts and figures can be checked using the many primary and secondary sources she sites in her bibliography. However, she does tend to focus on minute details of the lives of the women she discusses that are of lesser importance than their achievement or political lives, such as the explanation of Felton’s husband’s career and political viewpoints. However, her narrative gives insight into the differing values of white and black women at the time and what was seen to be acceptable for a woman, and a woman of color, to say and do, as well as the consequences they faced for defying racism, male-dominance and widespread

The state of Georgia earned the nickname "The Empire State of the South" in the antebellum period largely because of its textile industry. From 1840 until 1890 the state consistently led the South in textile production,

Georgia was admitted as a state in 1788 and was one of the Confederate States of America. It was once primarily a farm state, producing large amounts of cotton, but has since become a major manufacturing and service industry state. Georgia is named for George II of England. It is bordered by Tennessee, South Carolina, Alabama, North Carolina, and Florida.

Aside from her advantaged childhood and immense intelligence, Robinson’s passion, questioning nature, and integrity contributed to her eventual success. She possessed a remarkable amount of drive, which was consistently directed towards advancing human rights, even as a child. Granted, her juvenile passion (shaped by the nuns at her secondary school) for relieving the suffering of the “black babies” in Africa was a little misguided, although no less sincere than her adult passion for expanding human rights (20). Her dedication to her work at all stages of her career was evident; she writes “[She] knew [she] was lucky that [she] woke up every morning looking forward to the case in court, or the debate in the senate, or to preparing a lecture for [her] students” (91). Her passion for whatever challenge she decided to undertake was unquestionable. It was evident that her campaign slogan “A president with a purpose” was not political hyperbole (135).
