You have probably heard that there has been much haggling over which woman should be pictured on the new ten dollar bill. It certainly is well past high time that one did. We are all accustomed to seeing an array of white male founding father faces on our money, and the lack of feminine images featured there, so commonly seen in other countries.
Do you think billy the kid (Henry McCarty Jr.) took a stand?Most people wouldn't think he does because he kills and he robs places. But that’s why because people don't see the good side of him like how he stood up for his boss or how when he stole butter as a kid he did it for his city. Billy the Kid moved to Arizona briefly before joining up with a gang of gunfighters called The Boys to fight in the Lincoln County War. Known as “The Kid” Billy switched to the opposition to fight with John Tunstall under the name “The Regulators”. Barely escaping with his life, McCarty became an outlaw and a fugitive. He died on July 14th, 1881 in Fort Sumner, New Mexico. He was born November 23, 1859, in New York City. Billy the kid had sandy blond hair and blue eyes and wore a signature sugar-loaf sombrero hat with a wide decorative band. He could be charming and polite one moment, then outraged and violent the next, a quixotic nature, he used to great effect during his heists and robberies.”

One hundred and eight years of love, support, and faith in their ball club came down to a fundamental, opposite field single by Ben Zobrist in game seven last night at Progressive Field. The Curse of the Billy Goat has been erased from the history books, and much of the credit must go to the Cub’s President of Baseball Operations, Theo Epstein. Epstein was the President of the Red Sox over a decade ago, helping shape the team that broke the Curse of the Bambino. In 2011 he signed with the Cubs, again aiding his new team to break what seemed to be a hopeless World Series drought. Thrifty Indian’s Ace Corey Kluber took the mound for the home team while the 26-year-old Kyle Hendricks was on the hill for the Cubs. Kluber experienced a pitcher’s
William Mckinley served 12 years as a House of Representatives from 1877-1891. His term was interrupted by his lost of the 1882 election. Which he lost to Democratic Periodic Thomas .B. Reed. (Discus.com, William Mckinley paragraph 5 Subtitle). “The defeat in McKinley’s district of Ohio in 1890 had been partly a result of another Democratic gerrymander rather than a wholesale repudiation of the candidate. His reputation still intact in Ohio, McKinley, with the backing of the wealthy Cleveland industrialist Marcus A. Hanna, won the governorship in 1891 and 1893. In 1892, Hanna tried to engineer the nomination of McKinley for president, but McKinley refused to encourage the movement because of his conviction that the Republican Party should stand

If I had the chance to talk to someone for thirty minutes, I would choose Wyatt Earp. Earp was a known as the biggest and best law enforcement officer during the late 1800’s early 1900’s. Everywhere that Wyatt went, people knew about him. Wyatt Earp helped protect many people during his life, and did not show fear to anyone. I admire Earp because of his bravery to protect the people he loved and fulfilled his duty to his fullest potential. Even though Wyatt’s family told him not to serve in law, he felt it was his duty and kept the people in Western America safe.

The Roaring 20’s was a good time because of a new economic era, new women’s roles, and prohibition.
An American journalist is driving towards the Syrian border. Suddenly his car is attacked and he is forced out of his car and held at gunpoint. 635 long, torturous days go by as he is held captive by the most dangerous terrorist group imaginable. He knows that his fate is almost sealed, and he is living in a state of constant fear. One day, he is forced into an orange prisoner suit, taken out into the desert with a knife held to his throat, and forced onto his knees. He is shaking violently. He hears a language that has sadly become much too familiar to him, speaking violently towards a camera. He realizes that he is being recorded and then he is beheaded. This was the last moment of James Foley’s life, and sadly, three other innocent people experienced the exact same fate. Innocent lives are taken every day by the most dangerous terrorist threat in today’s world. Religious minorities walk around with targets on their backs, and thousands of Americans, US military troops, Shia, Yazidis, and Christian civilizations are being targeted every day by the horrifying terrorist group that is ISIS. Anyone who dares stand in the way of The Islamic State is at risk of losing their lives. As a social studies
