When we start analyzing the data we find that living in the colonies following the Boston Tea party was a difficult time for many. There were people on both sides, those who were against the act and those who were for the act and a fight against Britain.

His grandfather, a respected authority in the community, was a militia captain, justice of the peace and a sheriff. His father was also a man of status, who was a member of House of Burgesses. Jefferson's family was his stepping stone to greatness, as he was born into the colonial elite. As 1776 began, colonists were with

The colonies and Britain both took steps towards an ultimate confrontation as both of them constantly angered each other and argued with each other on various points such as: whether or not the colonies should prosper, or if the colonies could have their own rulers, laws, religions, and country.

Arthur C. Clarke once said, “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” Indeed, this has proven to be true. Technology has broken down barriers and has led to an easier life, and thus has spread so widely and quickly. Technology has seen incredible growth since ancient times; from the pyramids to the printing press to robots. The discovery of DNA and the creation of the polio vaccine are both incredible discoveries of the 1950’s that continue to impact the world today

Have you ever wondered what it will feel like to free? In 1776 the Britain were in charge of the untied states. As many may understand the agreement the u.s. made that created the famous declaration of independence. Due to the writing being published it caused a war to breakout.

Watson and Crick had looked the work of English scientist Rosalind Franklin, a partner of Maurice Wilkins' at King's College London, to land at their noteworthy disclosure, notwithstanding, her commitment to their discoveries would go generally unrecognized until after her she died. Franklin had made a few unpublished working papers talking about the basic characteristics of DNA, and with her understudy Raymond Gosling had taken

The Stamp Act was passed in 1765 and was met with much resentment by the American colonists. The tax forced the colonists to buy a stamp for every official document they obtained. The tax was meant to fund the British army in America. Violent protests soon became widespread around the colonies. In 1766 Parliament repealed the Stamp Act. On December 16, 1773, members of the Sons Of Liberty suck onto a British ship and dumped an entire shipment of tea. Some of the men were dressed as Native Americans

This art piece is based on a famous illustration by Benjamin Franklin during the revolutionary war. He created this as a symbol for the thirteen colonies, in hopes to create unity during the war against England. After seeing this on my american government field trip I was immediately inspired to create a distorted version of it for the Gilead. One of the main themes in Gilead is unity and coming together for the common good so this image is a perfect inspiration for that. Furthermore, the Gilead
