In “Bacon’s Declaration in the Name of the People”, Nathaniel Bacon lists every major offense of Sir William Berkeley, many of which collide with one another to display how the governor’s actions and inactions built upon each other to create turmoil for the people of Virginia. However, Berkeley defends himself and proclaims Bacon a traitor in, “The Declaration and Remonstrance of Sir William Berkeley his most sacred Majesties Governor and Captain Generall of Virginia”.

Macy’s is a company that is embedded in our national pass times and has become more than just a retailing store. Its long history of retailing is over 150 years old. It was founded in 1843 by Rowland Hussey Macy in Harverhill, Massachusetts and was not originally a retailing store. Originally, Rowland targeted the mill industry and it employees and opened four dry good stores. Unfortunately early success did not come for Macy as the company’s first stores actually all failed. Luckily, Mr. Macy was a resilient man who learned from his early mistakes and realized that his target market for this type of store was not mill employees but a higher end clientele. He opened his new store “R.H. MACY” on Sixth Ave between 13th and 14th Street with the trademark star flying high. Mr. Macy had used his tattoo that he had on his arm when he worked in Nantucket on a whaling ship, the Emily Morgan. This was a success for Mr. Macy and as his company grew so did his tactics and innovation on bringing in new customers. He was the first to implement theme exhibits in his stories as well as illuminating window displays which was new tactics in the late 1900’s. He was also the first store to use publicity devices to bring in new customers and since they did not have modern communication he used “Santa Claus” as a public figure to draw in customers. Unfortunately Mr. Macy would not see the 20th century and passed away.
