Compare And Contrast Samuel Adams Letter To James Warren
I agree with Samuel Adams letter to James Warren because its actually realistic then George Washington quote from discussion board 1 back in September revolved around why history matters. "No people tamely surrender their Liberties, nor can any be easily subdued , when knowledge is diffused and virtue is preserved. On the contrary, when people are universally ignorant, and debauched in their Manners, they will sink under their own weight without the Aid of foreign invaders." At first I did not get the last phrase but when i went back and read it I believe from my perspective that it is saying we do not need society or the government to make us do anything. Some of us are naturally ignorant to where it goes in one ear and out the other to the

    Comparing Benjamin Franklin And Silas Deane's Letter To Congress

    After two months of sailing, he finally landed north of Charleston on June 13, 1777. He then spent the next month traveling through various states like North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, and Delaware, and after thirty-two days, arrived in Philadelphia. Congress originally tossed aside even considering letting Lafayette fight; but they would soon be persuaded. Not only did Benjamin Franklin and Silas Deane write a letter to Congress on Lafayette’s behalf, but Lafayette also took the liberty to write a letter to Congress as well. He wrote, “After the sacrifices I have made, I have the right to exact two favours: one is, to serve at my own expense, - the other is, to serve at first as a volunteer” (85). Moved by this sentiment, Congress established him as a major general of the Continental Army on July 31.…

The Sons of Liberty were a group originally called the Loyal Nine who were opposed to British politics and wanted to have freedom from Britain. By writing articles and using his own politics, Adams was able to recruit skillful men to the group, including Josiah Quincy and Samuel Adams’s second cousin John Adams. When the Parliament passed the Stamp Act of 1765, Adams became angry that King George III would tax the colonies without giving them any representation in the government. He helped arrange the Stamp Act Congress held in New York where the colonies planned…

    Analyzing Benjamin Banneker's Letter To Thomas Jefferson

    One major continuity in American history classes is the pointing out of the hypocrisies of our founding fathers. They wrote and signed a document that stressed the importance of natural rights for all, yet all of them owned slaves that they considered inferior to themselves. Benjamin Banneker writes a letter to one of these founding fathers, more specifically the one that wrote “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, and that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” in the Declaration of Independence (21-25). Banneker maintains strong stance on how unjust slavery is in the United States. He encourages Jefferson to relate…

    Abigail Adams Research Paper

    Abigail Smith Adams is best known for the letters she wrote for over a half century, but also she is historically visible because she was the wife of one president of the United States (John Adams, 1797–1801) and mother of another (John Quincy Adams, 1825–1829). The stream of her letters that began in the early 1760s and ended with her death in 1818 represents the most complete record that survives of a woman's experiences during the Revolutionary War era and subsequent decades in American history.…

    Martin Luther King, Marcus Garvey, & Malcolm X Discussion on Gay Marriage

    The way todays events and the lifestyle of living is approached, the people of our past would have been surprised to know how much we have accomplished, and even more surprised to know some things still remain the same. Since the beginning of mankind, people have fought for their rights in order to make life a much easier way to live with one another. Documents like the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence, and even far back to the Ten Commandments, have been written to show some sort of peace structure to live by, with out harming one another. In America, freedom, justice, and equality for all has been a major issue that is yet to be fully fulfilled. Although, America is all about supporting the three lifestyles, the people are the ones who make the situation almost impossible to reach. If the strong leaders from our past were alive today helping us reach the right decision to these matters, the solutions would come even sooner to society based on their helpful ideas, or maybe even the people of today would still be capable of assassinating them for their wise words and leadership. Leaders like Marcus Garvey, Martin Luther King Jr., and Malcolm X, already had strong voices of opinion then and would have even higher voices today.…

    Compare And Contrast Gettysburg Address And The Emancipation Proclamation

    In Abraham Lincoln’s two speeches, The Gettysburg Address and The Emancipation Proclamation, he begins each one quite similarly. Each speech is first presented by stating a date, “Four score and seven years ago…” and “That on the 1st day of January, A.D. 1862,”, by beginning the speeches in this way, he is able to draw attention to a point in time where a change has occurred and compare it to present day, or vise versa. For example, in The Gettysburg Address, by starting the speech with “Four score and seven years ago…” he reminds the people of the discovery for the new land, conceived in Liberty, that they live, and now battle on. This speech was delivered in the midst of the Civil War, therefore, when delivering the speech it was important…

    Civics Essay

    Everything we are, everything our country is today is thanks to history. History and civics literally means the past considered as a whole and the study of rights and duties of citizenship. While being a citizen, it is to one’s most high interest to know the civics of their nation. Civics and history walk hand in hand, history representing what has happened in the past, and civics is what we make of it. Civics should be known by every single citizen in this country, because if it’s the government’s job to make rights and laws and uphold our society for us, then wouldn’t it make sense for it to be the citizen’s prerogative to know the law and know their own rights?…
