The Civil War Museum Of New Orleans

The Battle of New Orleans was significant because it was the biggest part of the American Revolution for the United States. Andrew Jackson and his untrained army outsmarted the British, causing them to retreat and in result stopping the British from capturing New Orleans. The Battle of New Orleans was also important because it was the last major battle of the War of 1812. Andrew Jackson, America’s General who led the war, would be known as an American hero after this war. General Jackson heard about the British advancing towards New Orleans and he felt like he needed to save New Orleans. On January 8, 1815, American forces, under Major General Jackson, defeated the British forces trying to capture New Orleans. The battle, which takes place after the treaty of Ghent has been signed, was the most successful American victory of the war.

American independence from Great Britain was at first all just a dream from new American colonists. After years of war and key battles with British forces during the Revolutionary War, this dream became a reality. However, some issues promised to be fixed after the Revolutionary War were not corrected. Great Britain had agreements and treaties that were left unfulfilled in the eyes of Americans. One major battle served as a resolution to all American problems with Great Britain, and served as an ending statement in the triumphant War of 1812, the Battle of New Orleans. This battle served as a breaking point for the newly founded American country as well as a

The Battle of New Orleans was the ending Battle that resulted in an American victory against the British during the War of 1812. But when Looking at The Battle of New Orleans, one must understand the the causes of the war of 1812 and how it eventually lead to the ending of the war with the Battle of New Orleans. The war of 1812 is most often believed that is was started because of British impressment of American Sailors. This meant that they were basically kidnapped and forced into British servitude. This disrupted American shipping, and obvious violation on American Sovereignty. There were many thousands of British sailors who were working for the U.S so a lot of the sailors that were kidnapped by the British were in fact, also British. Beside this fact, America was still not happy with the impressment of their sailors. This disrupted American shipping while bolstering the war machine of the British while they fighting Napoleonic France. Great Britain did not want war with the U.S and thus fought the war half- heartedly. This was a great advantage of the U.S because if Great Britain used their full war machine, the U.S would have certainly lost this war and could probably be back under British rule.

In his article “New Orleans Is Wrong to Remove Its Confederate Monuments,” John Daniel Davidson argues that New Orleans is taking down their statues for purely political purpose, instead of inclusion and tolerance. First, Davidson depicts men in black showing up to statues lies with sniper’s ready for any trouble that may arise. By doing so he claims that the Confederate monuments should be kept standing. To support his claim, Davidson brings up many issues that arose from these statues or Confederate symbols is the past such as the mass shooting in South Carolina and many schools in the South taking many steps to rid themselves of any Confederate monument. Next, he reminds us that the only thing keeping some of these statues up is the state

In order for America to evolve with the history, the best option would be to keep the Confederate monuments in the eye of the public only if a supplemental plaque is added since this solution could work in the favor of most of the nation and will be able to satisfy their basic needs. White supremacists have not only spoken about unhesitantly hurting others for wanting to remove these Confederate monuments, but dozens of them have committed to unspeakable crimes of violence to preserve the meaning behind the statues. This is a very complex matter that can be mentally, physically, and economically fatal to the United States’ citizens and the future generations to come. Countless blood-soaked homicidal videos and pictures roam the world wide

The Union Troops(yankees) started landing on the bay of New Orleans on April twenty fifth. Although they could not land until they knew for sure that Forts Jackson and

In front of an otherwise respectable-looking suburban house, a banner waves in the wind from a flagpole. As you look more closely, expecting to make out the stars and stripes, you see instead a different arrangement of red, white, and blue. "Stupid rednecks," you think to yourself as you see that flag flutter on the breeze.

In John Daniel’s article “New Orleans Is Wrong To Remove Its Confederate Statues”, he discusses the recent events involving the removal of the Confederate statues in New Orleans. Daniels heavily takes the side against removing the statues dedicated to the significant figures that fought for the Confederate side.

Growing up in a city known as the big melting pot, or big gumbo; New Orleans, La has many different cultures and is a very diverse city. Personally, I love the mixed culture of people from different background, beliefs, and way of living. At the same time, this intangible mixture can cause a lot of trouble and disagreements. From inside school grounds, to outside, cultures clash. During this month of August everyone is reminded of Hurricane Katrina and I cannot help, but to think about how during that experience so much trouble was going on between the different cultures in the city. Through that experience I also saw the entire city bind together and unify during the historic New Orleans and Atlanta Monday night football game. During that

The museum that I decided to visit was the California African American museum, located in the Exposition park by the Coliseum and USC school. I knew that by visiting this museum, I would learn more about African American culture and lifestyle, which I thought it would be interesting to learn about another culture. What, I expected to see there was African American’s art creation, music, maybe see a few things about their old lifestyle, and the difficulty they once had to face. To be honest, I don't really know much about African Americans history nor culture, besides the way they were treated it due to racism. And how Martin Luther king Jr fought for their civil rights, by doing anti-segregation protests and delivers his famous speech I Have

As I was walking through the Memphis Health Sciences Park, I stopped at the base of the this interesting statue to rest for a moment when I noticed the brief engraving on it’s front. I quietly read it’s extremely brief history and never once did I conclude anything differently surrounding it until months later when it was featured on several local news stations. At that moment, I needed to know the exact history surrounding the Confederate General Lieutenant Nathan B. Forrest and why the city of Memphis has constantly

Louisiana is the home to many different musical genres and is the birthplace of many different types of music. The different cultures in Louisiana helped create all of the music it has. Jazz, zydeco, and Cajun music are some of the genres that Louisiana is most known for. New Orleans has a major role is Louisiana’s music, one of the supposed reasons for New Orleans nickname “The Big Easy” is because of how easy it is for musicians to find work there. Before the Louisiana Purchase in 1803 Louisiana was already bustling with music from operas to street corner singers. These music types all coming together is how jazz was made. The name jazz was actually coined in New York, applying to a baseball when it “wobbled.”

On September 19, 2015, I visited New Orleans Pharmacy Museum. The museum had many fascinating exhibits, pictures and artifacts. Before attending the museum, I imagined a large open room filled with many signs that said, “Do not touch,” however things were quite different. The museum was a small two-storage building that had a warm atmosphere and many antique features.

On Saturday, June 15 I attended the Civil War and American Art exhibit at the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art. There were a number of different people who were present on this occasion. I believe there were so many people there because this is one of the better known art galleries throughout New York. Additionally, the fact that today was part of the weekend probably contributed to the massive crowds of people present. Not everyone was there to attend the Civil War and American Art exhibit, however; there were several other exhibits taking place in different locations throughout the museum that day.

Last Sunday my friend and I went to the Hellenic museum down town Chicago. It was a very slow day at the museum we were the only two visitors. In the entrance of the museum was the gift shop, the attendee was very kind and great us when we came in. She explain to us the two exhibitions that were open. She gave us a brochure of the museum, then explain to us a survey which if we fill we could get a 10% discount on the shop in the museum. The attendee gave us a description of the museum. It has three levels, the first level is a white spacious room with big windows facing the street. We took the stairs to the second level which was the one with rock and petrified exhibitions. In the entrance of the second level there were dresses and ornaments of the Greek culture. In the wall there were description of recent history of Greeks and celebration of the Greek independency from the Ottoman Empire. On the second level of the museum there were historical rocks of different parts of Greece and they have a brief history of catastrophes by volcanos. The museum have residuals of petrified forests and animals. They had the history of islands of Pythagoras and other famous Greek thinkers.
