Top 10 Topic’s

1 California Gold Rush of 1849 - This is one of the most exciting because this gave people schools, homes, and lead to California entering the union as a free state. This was painful too because people were victims of diseases and starvation.
2 George Washington 1789 - without Washington we wouldn’t have a country, and he set the standard for future presidents.
Washington was also painful to learn about because he believed in and owned slaves.
3 Fugitive Slave Act of 1793- This is an exciting act to learn about because I learned about people like Luther lee and others who risked their lives to help slaves escape. It was painful to learn because this act wanted to bring escaped slaves back.
4 Congress prohibits importing Salves of 1808- This is an exciting one to know because the U.S. stopped importing slaves. This was painful to learn because they only did this because of the money it cost.
5 Monroe Doctrine of 1823 - this is exciting learning that this protected us from the
Europeans who may have wanted to colonize in the Western Hemisphere. This was painful because he believed it created the U.S. as a world power and the U.S. would get involved in other countries affairs.
6 Eli Whitney Cotton gins of 1793- Without the cotton gin I wouldn’t have clothes on me or jackets. This was painful to learn because he lost all he had and almost went bankrupt, and the cotton gin it increased slavery in the antebellum south.

7 Trails of Tears of 1838 - I liked learning about this because I learned how Indians came to be where they’re at. This was painful to learn because the Indians lost a lot of their people and was robbed of there homeland.
8 Louisiana Purchase of 1803 - I liked learning about this because it showed me how the country gained land. This was painful to learn because I couldn’t ever get the states we gained right.
9 Florida Territory of 1822- this is an exciting land gain to me because it’s my home state. This was painful because they removed the Seminoles from their homeland.
10 Andrew Jackson of 1837- I liked President Jackson because he wanted a democracy where every one participated in government. This was painful because he wanted slavery and the removal of Indians.

Avoiding fight's

The fight started with the boy fouling me in a basketball game. after that he looked at me and started laughing. I didn't try to avoid it because he should have said my bad or some. So i said ay boy watch where the **** u going. He said some then i told him he was a ***** n*gg*. We eventually ggot the fighting and i dislocated his arm. We didn't say nothing to each other and we still haven't... Try to control my anger and to let some thing's go anyway...

Growing up...

I've experienced some crazy things in my life's time.. Life can be hard on everyone, It's a result of how you've made your life. everyone is going to have problems like bully's. they might pick on you or just beat you up... you could lose some that mean't alot to you, and go to jail. life do have some good tiomes to it too. playing with your friends, going to carnivoles. Winning money, or doing good in a game that you play. Having a good girl, good grades, and everything you like. It's life that you live so It's the life you make.

The Live In the Revolution

Basically it was pretty hard, you had to pay taxes on tea. people didn't have a
lot of money, there family's were going to battle. most times you didn't even
know if your father was going to come bac. the soldier's had no shoes, no sheats
to sleep on hardly any supplies. I was suprised that the american had killed 20
to 30 of the british and only lost 2 or 3 americans. the people involved in the tea party
did it volunteerly there was no big leader or speech in it. Peoples house was getting taken
away when fighting for the army they had debts and that lead to shay's rebillion.
