Washington Flag

George Washington became the first president of the United States soon after winning the war against Great Britain, America becoming the first independent 13 colonies. Since the beginning of his presidency people trusted him, being the one who led the country to victory as the General, contributed to people having faith in him. It states in the book that he chose the Country’s well-being before his own and often made decision following his gut, “he took pains to elevate the public good over private interest and projected honesty and honor over ambition.”(Johnson) Washington took great responsibility and honor of the New build Nation, he didn’t take matters lightly choosing what was best for his country. During his presidency, he was a visionary

George Washington was the first president of the United States on February 4, 1789. He was born on February 22, 1732 in rural Virginia. What made him a great leader was how he knew what he had to do as the president. If he didn’t become president then there wouldn’t be a new Constitution. He was the commander and chief of the American and French forces in American Revolution.

Washington in his early fifties resumed life as a planter confident that his days of public service were over. A few years had past and the Congress has a large inability to solve national problems. This was partly due to the lack of authority under the Articles of Confederation. This worried Washington so much that he became a delegate on the Virginia legislature to

The united states flag has been a big part of history since the beginning. patriotism also played an important part in the war. Betsy Ross made the first american flag. The flag has changed quite a bit since the design of the flag. For example the number of stars.

When the war started to get really bad they made George Washington Commander-in-chief of the continental army, now they have a better chance of winning the war. They put him in this position because he was a noble, courageous, honest, and loving man so they knew he would be perfect for this position. He was also a delegate to the first continental congress from Virginia. They are group that had some of the first

As a young boy, George Washington grew up in a small town in Pope’s Creek, Virginia.    He came from this small town in hopes of achieving great things, like becoming the first president of the United States.  He faced many failures, but by overcoming them, he made many great achievements.  Although, he faced hardship and failures, he did not let those get in the way of his goals.  He became one of the greatest presidents of the United States of America.

Within the United States of America, arguments, involving the Confederate Flag, are solved every sngle day. However, some controversies have managed to carry on from the 1800’s until present day without any solution. The text and symbolic meaning behind the “Confederate Flag” is a perfect example. The Confederate Flag is one of America’s most embattled symbolic controversies. Created in 1861in a battle between the South, Confederates, and the North, Union, two men by the name P.G.T. Beauregard and Congressman William P. Miles designed and created a flag that would represent the true southern pride and demands that would not only bring about conflict with one half of the nation but also with our American society today.

In 1789, George Washington was unanimously elected by all 69 members of congress, to be the very first president of the United States of America. This unanimous vote was the result of Washington’s background. He was very well known in the thirteen states for being the leader of the great Continental Army, one that defeated the British in several key battles that ensured freedom and independence to the United States. Washington was also one of the people that helped found the Constitution, and he was well known, loved, and greatly respected by all the citizens and leaders of the United States. His first term was a great success, but there were more actions to be taken in the future. Thus, George Washington’s re-election in 1792 revealed the

My state is Texas. It makes up 1/12 of all of America's land. It joined the union December 29, 1845 making it the 28th state to join. It is also known as the Lone Star State. But it got its name from the Indian word ‘tejas’ which means friend.

The article titled: “South Carolina Settles Its Decades-Old Dispute Over a Confederate Flag” written by Richard Fausset and Alan Blinder is to be considered a featured article. In contrast, the article titled “South Carolina House Votes to Remove Confederate Flag” also written by Richard Fausset and Alan Blinder is to be considered a news article.

The first time the Confederate flag was flown in South Carolina was to mark the centennial of the civil war. In addition to that memorial moment, it also coincided with a slew of Jim Crow laws being overturned. While some considered the raising of that flag to be significant to the history of that state, there is sound reasoning to believe that the raising of that flag would be a reminder to minorities that the white race is dominant.

During a 2001 statewide referendum, Mississippi voters where asked whether they supported the continuance of the 1894 flag or a new design. More than sixty percent of voters approved the continuation of the 1894 version, and today, Mississippi’s flag represents the last official state flag in the United States containing the Confederate Battle Flag (Rolph, 2018). Over the past few years the Mississippi state flag has been a main source in the debate of racism, whether it is on school campuses, in the media, or in the Mississippi State Capital. The state flag of Mississippi should be viewed as a historical landmark, rather than a symbol of racism.

Grey uniforms, so often pierced with bullets from the other side, were proudly donned by the men of this nation from 1861 until 1865. These men fought tirelessly and honorably for their beliefs, and throughout each battle, carried the battle flag of the Confederacy. Throughout the Civil War, this flag took six different forms, for design flaws led to confusion on the battlefield. Each soldier, standing tall, did not fight for a flag, but under it. As an emblem of courage and honor, and a representation of their way of life, the “Rebel Flag” still stands as a symbol of pride in the southern United States. South Carolina’s contest of whether or not to permanently lower the flag flying over state grounds has aroused the question of the true meaning of the “Navy Jack” banner. American history has lent endless resources to the discovery of this meaning. The causes of the war, the history of the Confederate Flag’s origin, the truth about racism and slavery, and the disproving of supposed offensiveness of a piece of cloth all play an integral role in the argument opposing the flag’s removal.

Just like teaching any other topic in the Twenty-First century, the topic of teaching The Confederate Flag is controversial. Some people believe that you should not teach something with a negative connotation attached to it. However others, including me, believe that teachers need to teach the events that took place years prior, no matter the connotation.
