Victory Dbq Analysis

In the freezing December of 1777, George Washington and twelve thousand men built huts in a very small area, Valley Forge. They would have to last there until winter ended, with barely any supplies, and just fire and smoke to keep them from freezing to death. Soldiers died from illness, and many deserted or quit after their contract was over. Many had this chance to quit, but if you were a soldier, would you continue fighting? I would re-enlist, because George Washington has called for help from Congress and will probably receive it, the British might win the war if all the soldiers quit, and the soldiers of the Continental Army shouldn’t be summer soldiers.

During the annual Ely Tigers v. Dilard Panthers football game, the game was decided at the end of the 4th quarter during a touchdown scoring catch. The wide receiver, Donnell Wilson, caught the ball in the end zone to score. It was a clean catch in the right place at the right time that resulted in the game-winning touchdown.

“It was clean and a simple catch resulting in a touchdown,” said Owen Dyson, the referee (Doc 8). The catch couldn’t have resulted in a touchdown without more than one teammate. While it was caught by Donnell, he couldn’t have done it without the help of his team. “I had the team focused,” said Clayton Sheffield, offensive coach (Doc 3).

Tyree secured a 32-yard catch by wedging the back half of the ball against his helmet.

With tough conditions, soldiers at Valley Forge were struggling to survive. In October 1777, George Washington hadn’t been able to stop General Howe and his troops march their way into Philadelphia. Washington was having difficulties keeping his soldiers hopeful. Men who had been there for nine months were going home and not coming back. In fact, people were questioning Washington’s leadership, and some Philadelphians even welcomed the British. With Howe’s army of 1800 staying happily in Philadelphia, Washington decided to build the dreadful winter camp, Valley Forge. Housing at this winter camp was terrible; men were assigned huts that slept 12 other men and had no beds. It was freezing cold and smoke filled their homes. A soldier would have

Many "Lost Cause" advocates stated their work was not political, and to a great extent they were right. The Lost Cause wasn't so much a political set of beliefs, but more of a cultural and perhaps even social attempt at preserving the Southerners' hurt pride and honor after facing defeat in the Civil War. The Lost Cause negatively impacted the South in that it limited its ability to Reconstruct after the Civil War and rejoin the Union; however, the Lost Cause helped Southerners stay positive and self-assured during times when their economic stability was questionable.

The land of Texas, explored only by Indian tribes at the time, had long been disputed over by several countries interested in north American colonies, in which Spain took the lead. In order to colonize the land, the Spanish believed their first step must be to establish a mission system, in which natives would convert to Catholicism. In theory, this would allow an easier colonization process; however, the attempt was a failure and Texas, once again, became useless. All the while, Mexico was gaining its independence and soon began to encourage immigration to the stagnant colony. This became an opportune time for Americans to settle in the area as well and the territory became quickly populated, but just as soon, slavery was immediately outlawed.

The difference between victory and defeat can be determined by the economy of the side you’re investigating. A letter written by Juan Pablo Viscardo was used to elucidate the assurance of economic interest. “This is the result of the Spanish commercial monopoly system, combines with taxed and official fees. And because the official monopoly system on transatlantic trade would naturally lead us to produce more in America.”(Doc C) Total economic action was taken therefore allowing the economy to grow exponentially. Furthermore causing an increase in wealth to those in the higher classes such as Creoles/Peninsulares. “Crisis soon affected the rest of the economy… Creole elites, indignant and threatened, now sought to capitalize on these social

I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed reading everyone’s responses to the discussion question. While it’s clear that we have all taken reasonably different arguments, I think our responses have relatively coinciding ideas. The single greatest factor that led to Allied victory in World War II needs some deliberation, when considering all the possible factors of Allied victory.

Overcrowded,smoggy,dirty. These word would describe what the gilded age and progressive era looked like. With multiple families living in a small space and people working for less than living wage in dirty cramped factories. Food was made in unsanitary places with rats crawling over it. There were millions of child labour. Some people would say that the inventions society got were great but it was at the cost of people's lives. Economic growth was bad for society because factories had harsh condition.

To begin the game, the Eagles received the ball first and it was a perfect opening drive for Wentz and the offense. On the first drive, Wentz went 4-for-5, finding tight end Zach Ertz for a ridiculous one-handed 14-yard catch on first down and ending it with a 19-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Jordan Matthews.

The 1790s and 1800s was a time surrounded by partisan tension and increased political participation and discussion in America. This was largely due to development of the Federalist and Republican parties in the 1790s. The establishment of these parties helped fuel expansion of the public sphere, as advocates of both sides wish to air their opinions on the other. This became especially true of Republicans, who became increasingly more critical of Federalists ideas and values. Eventually this led to the Federalist party, under the power of John Adams, to pass the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798. These pieces of legislation not only censored American citizens, but made the lives of immigrants harder by threatening dissenters with deportation and

The Eagles encountered problems getting in rhythm with their wide receivers and giving LeSean McCoy running room but they took advantage on the mismatches with the Colts' Linebackers. From the onset of the game, Darren Sproles again proved too quick for linebacker help as he broke a 57 yard catch on a running back choice route. Although the catch and run didn't result in points, and Nick Foles was intercepted by Greg Toler with a beautiful catch on a long pass to Jeremy Maclin, the seeds of a comeback were being

The QB throws the ball to the running back and Tharp runs as fast as possible and just intercepts the ball and runs it to the house! “7-0, Way to put points on the board Tharp” spoke Jack “Did you guys see that?” “The player was practically hugging me so I couldn’t get past him.” Ranted Braydon “Yea I remember, you started to rant because he was “hugging you”.”

He probably only caught the ball because he was in the right place at the right time. If he wasn’t in the right place, he wouldn’t have had the skill to catch the ball. Like Demetrius Johnson, the defensive back who covered Donnell, said, “That guy never caught the ball, he was lying there on the ground and the ball fell in his hands.” (Doc 6) It wasn’t a matter of defensive or offensive skill, it was just luck.
