The Department of War was another one set up by Washington. It was changed to the Department of Defense in 1947 because the Department of War made it seem like we always wanted a fight.

The American Revolution was a great time of change for America as a nation. With this change new heroes and ideals of life, liberty, and freedom were formed. Spearheading these new ideals was General George Washington and his continental army, but the road ahead of Washington and his men was not an unproblematic one. The winter at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania proved this to Washington and his men. Yet the true American ideal of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness were never forgotten in their battle.

There is a saying that someone comes into your life for a reason. Today, as I was going about my business a complete stranger crossed my path and a conversation began. This man was dressed in a peculiar fashion, he spoke in a dialect of English that seemed odd, and as he looked around he appeared to be confused and staring at everyone and everything as if it was the first time he had seen any of the surroundings. His name was George Washington. As I quickly googled him on my computer I realized that this man was not just an actor or a strange man, he was the George Washington, the first President of the United States. I was in shock when I realized my new friend was known as one of the greatest Presidents of the United States. He was

Unlike the Confederacy army, the Union had the telegraph system that established a rapid network of communication. Before the telegraph system, the Northern army had no direct communication with the President, which led to unnecessary stagnation. For instance, “General-in-Chief, Winfield Scott, was so accepting of the tradition of being unable to communicate rapidly with the front that he took a nap during the battle” (Wheeler). However, with the telegraph, President Lincoln was able to directly communicate with the battlefield

To find ones identity you must go through a process that leads you to discover who you are why you are the way you are.

From living with Miss Watson and being forced to view society as everyone wants him to, to living on him own and finding how he really wants to view civilization; Huck journey to find his identity was successful as he had developed into a mature young boy who turned against society and formulated his own opinion on how the world should be lived.

The essay “Letter to President Pierce” written by Chief Seattle in 1855 lays out some of the biggest differences between white American culture and the culture of Native Americans. The essay is very brief in length but it does address many points that can be take farther. Chief Seattle begins the essay with simple stating the obvious; that everyone already knows white men and natives do not understand each other’s ways of living. He continues this by saying that even though the land that each of them hold is the same the way that it is handled could make you think otherwise. Chief Seattle believes that white man tires to fight and pillage everything rather work with it. This is the start of one of the biggest differences between the two cultures. By acting this way Seattle thinks that white man has no real connection to his culture because he continuously moves on from place to place leaving behind anything that was built by his ancestors. However, he contradicts himself by saying that maybe his thoughts are wrong because he is only a savage. The next main point that Seattle addresses is how he compares the silence of nature rather than all of the manmade noise of cities. He questions his stance on the noise pollution made by cities and asks if the only reason he does not like it is because he has not learned the “civilization” of it. Seattle believes in working with nature and what the world has given us, so that humans will last. He makes a strong point that if something
