Glory II

The men of the 54th regiment were gonna be used only for manual labor. The supply guy was holding back on shoes and supplies because he didn't want to give them to African Americans. And the 54th regiment was expected to not fight. When they got their first chance for action they were put into some sketchy deal we're they raided houses and burned towns. Eventually they got their chance for the kind of fight into they wanted through, hand to hand and opposing forces, left Thomas injured.

Glory

This dude put together the first all African American infantry during they civil war. He was baffled at the contrast between other soliders compared to these ones. They were more disciplined and passive when needed.  But the government issued a warming to it's soldiers that if you, as a black man, and your commander are captured on confederate soil; you should be killed or put into servitude.the leader dude gave them a choice to leave and all of his soldiers stayed.

12.4.13

The difference between the north and the south. The main factor of the civil war was slavery.  The only upper hand the confederates had were better generals.

civil war inevitability

The civil war was a product of  layers of controversy and  united affairs. The country was split and most of the state vs state and congressional outlines were built around or involving slavery. If you got rid of it or kept it, someone wasn't happy. The wavering of emotions and opposing beliefs pushed people to pick a side. And usually when there is a separation of people, conflict will arise. In this case the civil war, which again, is a product of too many people with too many ideas separating themselves from people they think are wrong trying to make it right. When people believe in something as prevalent as slavery or politics; they may not be so fickle in changing their point of view. So even though the civil war was set on its neighbors soil, it was really just people fighting for and over what they believe in and what they want for themselves, what they feel is the right way of things. Which hasn't really changed, nor will it ever; for history always repeats itself. The civil war was completely inevitable, eventually the period in time and the peoples way of thinking would've sparked something sooner or later.

11.26.13

Really the only difference is that the declaration of sentiments states the negligence of men toward the obligated rights of women, whereas the the declaration of independence and spoke of natural rights and freedom.  The way Jefferson applied life liberty and the pursuit of happiness to men and property owners; they appointed to women.

Julius Caesar and Andrew Jackson

Julius Caesar was a tyrant and the dictator of Rome. He was intertwined with the events that led up to the fall of the Roman Empire. He got far  with reforms and building the roman republic up with eminent ambition and tenacity.
I see how a correlation between Caesar and such leaders as Andrew Jackson could be made. They had passion in their eyes and a fire under their butts, so to speak. They both did their own thing, they got things done their own way, and in the end leaving a pretty significant mark in our textbooks.

Andrew Jackson

He carries the characteristics of how he was as an adult from his childhood. He was an orphan by the time he was a pre tween and his detest for the British government was substantial enough to lead his whole career. As a young man he fell in love with the already married daughter of a prominent family and they ran away together. Talk of this past event would hinder his run in office for presidency later on. He gave up on politics once and went on to his passion of horses, drinking, and money. But he couldn't stay away too long, he eventually ran for president and had his name on some of the most prominent events in history. Leaving in his stead, the most controversial presidency in American history.
