I would go meet the ruler of a hostile country if I had some kind of authorities with me, like the marines. I think that it would be a fun trip to take. I might actual enjoy a trip to a foreign country. The talk to the leader would be interesting and great.
I would not go if I did not have permission or a team of authorities with me. If it is a hostile country something bad is bound to happen. Some people might die and, I don't want to be my fault.

I believe that immeadiate force would be the best way to stop a ruler from the rise to power. Allied countries could assassinate the ruler from his rise to power. The countries could use spies to find out information that the ruler is talking about, to see if he is a threat.
I think that countries should be cautious of the rulers rise to power. They should allow the person to lead for a while but, if he is a tyrant then they need to assassinate him. Cautious, yet forceful, is the way countries should act to the ruler.

In the past, I would use flyers and spread the word on horseback. I may have used telegraphs.
In the future I would use web sites such as Facebook and Twitter. I could also use email and call people.

When Johnny comes marching home again,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
We'll give him a hearty welcome then
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The men will cheer and the boys will shout
The ladies they will all turn out
And we'll all feel gay when Johnny comes marching home.
The old church bell will peal with joy
Hurrah! Hurrah!
To welcome home our darling boy,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The village lads and lassies say
With roses they will strew the way,
And we'll all feel gay when Johnny comes marching home.
Get ready for the Jubilee,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
We'll give the hero three times three,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The laurel wreath is ready now
To place upon his loyal brow
And we'll all feel gay when Johnny comes marching home.
Let love and friendship on that day,
Hurrah, hurrah!
Their choicest pleasures then display,
Hurrah, hurrah!
And let each one perform some part,
To fill with joy the warrior's heart,
And we'll all feel gay when Johnny comes marching home

Jesse James and Cole Younger were part of a bad gang called the James-Younger Gang. The ang was a notable 19th-century gang of American outlaws that included Jesse James.

November 19, 1863: Gettysburg Address

First:
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure.
Last:
It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

Dixie
Oh, I wish I was in the land of cotton,
Old times there are not forgotten, (Alt Original: Cinnamon seed and sandy bottom,)
Look away, look away, look away Dixie Land.
In Dixie Land, where I was born in,
early on one frosty mornin',
Look away, look away, look away Dixie Land.
I wish I was in Dixie, Hooray! Hooray!
In Dixie Land I'll take my stand
to live and die in Dixie.
Away, away, away down south in Dixie.
Away, away, away down south in Dixie
Optional Verses
Ole Missus marry "Will the weaver"
Willum was a gay deceiver
Look away! Look away! Look away!
Dixie Land
But when he put his arm around 'er,
He smiled fierce as a forty pounder,
Look away! Look away! Look away!
Dixie Land
His face was sharp as a butcher's cleaver
But that did not seem to grieve 'er
Look away! Look away! Look away!
Dixie Land
Ole Missus acted the foolish part
And died for a man that broke her heart
Look away! Look away! Look away!

Now here's a health to the next ole Missus
An' all the gals that want to kiss us;
Look away! Look away! Look away!
Dixie Land
But if you want to drive 'way sorrow
Come and hear this song tomorrow

There's buckwheat cakes and Injun batter,
Makes you fat or a little fatter
Look away! Look away! Look away!

Then hoe it down and scratch your gravel,
To Dixie's Land I'm bound to travel,
Look away! Look away! Look away!

The Emancipation Proclamation did not free all slaves in the United States. Rather, it declared free only those slaves living in states not under Union control. The proclamation allowed black soldiers to fight for the Union. The proclamation declared, "all persons held as slaves within any States, or designated part of the State, the people whereof shall be in rebellion against the United States, shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free."

Underground Railroad

The Underground Railroad was a network of secret routes and safe houses used by 19th-century black slaves in America to escape to free states and Canada with the aid of abolitionists and allies who were sympathetic to their cause. Some routes led to Mexico or overseas.Created in the early 19th century, the Underground Railroad was at its height between 1850 and 1860.One estimate suggests that by 1850, 100,000 slaves had escaped via the "Railroad". British North America, where slavery was prohibited, was a popular destination, as its long border gave many points of access. More than 30,000 people were said to have escaped there via the network at its peak.

A time in my life when I feared fear was when a horrible storm hit the military base, Fort A.P Hill in Virginia. Little did I know that worst part of the storm had passed over. I was only fearing the rest of the storm that was not as horrible as the rest.
I was in a hanger that the military had put me in so, I didn't know if the storm had past. My troop and I were evacuated to shelters so, this also had increased my fear of the storm. Lastly I had the fear of lightning. We were put in a metal hangar and, by the time they had put us in the hangar the storm had pretty much passed.

I think that the government has the right to make laws that protects its citizens from their freedoms. If a freedom is bad enough, I would assume that the government could make a law that bans the freedom. But it is still a freedom so, I think that it would have to be reviewed over and over for the government to ban it.
This is what I think of intrusion and protection. If a freedom is bad then you should ban it to protect citizens. If you intrude you take away a right that isn't all that bad.

In my opinion the reports/plan did not affect the freedom to sell a legal product. The tobbaco industry can sell the product regardless of what people say. All though the plan/report may have "interfered" with selling a product, the plan did not physically interfer with the tobbaco company.
Today even more people complain about smoking.
still the Tobbaco company sells products. This shows you that the plans and reports don't phsically shut down smoking.
The only way someone or an organization could affect the selling of a product is if they phsically destroy the product. The people who gave reports and plans against it were voicing their opinion. This is freedom of speech. So I still believe that this does not affect the selling of a legal product.

He was a man of courage and honor,
He was a man that promoted non-violence,
He was a man that had a dream.

Freedom of Speech:
I believe that this is an important freedom because, you should not be battered or yelled at for what you say. I think that it is important to express ones opinion. If you could not express your opinion that would be horrible.
In today's society with electronic devices it is especially important that this be a freedom. People on TV would have to be extremely cautious what they say. Also, people might not even speak because, they fear that something will happen to them.

Ellis Island is to the right of the Liberty State Park and south of New York and Jersey City. Ellis Island was a good location for immagration services because, it is surrounded by water. This means that there is less escapees. Not all immagrants are good people. This also means that it is easy to get to by boat. If for some reason the immagrant can't become a citizen then, the U.S. can ship them back to their homeland.

1862: First Federal Income Tax
Article posted January 25, 2012 at 08:41 PM GMT •
comment • Reads 34
|
|
Federal Income Tax: A tax levied by the United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) on the annual earnings of individuals, corporations, trusts and other legal entities. Federal income taxes are applied on all forms of earnings that make up a taxpayer's taxable income, such as employment earnings or capital gains.
I think we don't need this tax because, the Gov. is not spending taxes the way they should be. I think that if you take away this tax, you could increase the sales tax and increase the tax on imported goods.

It began on August 17, 1862, along the Minnesota River in southwest Minnesota. Throughout the late 1850s, treaty violations by the United States and late or unfair annuity payments by Indian agents caused increasing hunger and hardship among the Dakota. A council of Dakota decided to attack settlements throughout the Minnesota River valley to try to drive whites out of the area. As many as 800 people may have been killed. The United States Army, ended the war with the surrender of most of the Dakota bands. The Dakota were expelled from Minnesota to Nebraska and to South Dakota. The United States Congress then abolished their reservations.

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord;
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword;
His truth is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His truth is marching on.
I have seen Him in the watch fires of a hundred circling camps
They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps;
I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps;
His day is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His day is marching on.
I have read a fiery Gospel writ in burnished rows of steel;
“As ye deal with My contemners, so with you My grace shall deal”;
Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with His heel,
Since God is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Since God is marching on.
He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat;
He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment seat;
Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! be jubilant, my feet;
Our God is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Our God is marching on.
In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,
With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me:
As He died to make men holy, let us live to make men free;
[originally …let us die to make men free]
While God is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! While God is marching on.
He is coming like the glory of the morning on the wave,
He is wisdom to the mighty, He is honor to the brave;
So the world shall be His footstool, and the soul of wrong His slave,
Our God is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Our God is marching on.

The despot's heel is on thy shore,
Maryland!
His torch is at thy temple door,
Maryland!
Avenge the patriotic gore
That flecked the streets of Baltimore,
And be the battle queen of yore,
Maryland! My Maryland!
Hark to an exiled son's appeal,
Maryland!
My Mother State! to thee I kneel,
Maryland!
For life or death, for woe or weal,
Thy peerless chivalry reveal,
And gird thy beauteous limbs with steel,
Maryland! My Maryland!
Thou wilt not cower in the dust,
Maryland!
Thy beaming sword shall never rust,
Maryland!
Remember Carroll's sacred trust,
Remember Howard's warlike thrust,-
And all thy slumberers with the just,
Maryland! My Maryland!
Come! 'tis the red dawn of the day,
Maryland!
Come with thy panoplied array,
Maryland!
With Ringgold's spirit for the fray,
With Watson's blood at Monterey,
With fearless Lowe and dashing May,
Maryland! My Maryland!
Come! for thy shield is bright and strong,
Maryland!
Come! for thy dalliance does thee wrong,
Maryland!
Come to thine own anointed throng,
Stalking with Liberty along,
And sing thy dauntless slogan song,
Maryland! My Maryland!
Dear Mother! burst the tyrant's chain,
Maryland!
Virginia should not call in vain,
Maryland!
She meets her sisters on the plain-
Sic semper! 'tis the proud refrain
That baffles minions back amain,
Maryland!
Arise in majesty again,
Maryland! My Maryland!
I see the blush upon thy cheek,
Maryland!
For thou wast ever bravely meek,
Maryland!
But lo! there surges forth a shriek,
From hill to hill, from creek to creek,
Potomac calls to Chesapeake,
Maryland! My Maryland!
Thou wilt not yield the Vandal toll,
Maryland!
Thou wilt not crook to his control,
Maryland!
Better the fire upon thee roll, Better the shot, the blade, the bowl,
Than crucifixion of the Soul,
Maryland! My Maryland!
I hear the distant thunder-hum,
Maryland!
The Old Line bugle, fife, and drum,
Maryland!
She is not dead, nor deaf, nor dumb-
Huzza! She spurns the Northern scum!
She breathes! She burns! She'll come! She'll come!
Maryland! My Maryland!

I think America should not have remained neutral in the war. We could be called an enemy of both sides. We also needed to take out the Germans while we could because, we were probably their next target.
In a war you usually have allies and, if you win, you usually can get goods and things from that country afterwards. It is also a good thing to have allies because, they help you in other wars. Clearly people died in the war but, it was for a good cause. It's a good thing we didn't stay neutral in the war.

It was appropiate to remove the British flag because, the Thirteen Colonies no longer was controled by Britian. America was its own country. We also have 13 colonies, hence the 13 stars on the flag.

If a book was written about my family it would be called "On the Go." My family goes on so many vacations for football, boy scouts, and just regular family trips. The book would be about how much stuff my family does and how we do it.

I admire President George Washington because, he was the first president. He had to came into office with very little knowledge, how people and how you should run the country. He was also a great general of America's troops.
I also admire him because he was an eunterpenuer. One of the other jobs he had, beside being a general and the president, was being a dentist. This shows how well rounded he was.

Oh, I wish I was in the land of cotton,
Old times there are not forgotten, (Alt Original: Cinnamon seed and sandy bottom,)
Look away, look away, look away Dixie Land.
In Dixie Land, where I was born in,
early on one frosty mornin',
Look away, look away, look away Dixie Land.
I wish I was in Dixie, Hooray! Hooray!
In Dixie Land I'll take my stand
to live and die in Dixie.
Away, away, away down south in Dixie.
Away, away, away down south in Dixie
Optional Verses
Ole Missus marry "Will the weaver"
Willum was a gay deceiver
Look away! Look away! Look away!
Dixie Land
But when he put his arm around 'er,
He smiled fierce as a forty pounder,
Look away! Look away! Look away!
Dixie Land
His face was sharp as a butcher's cleaver
But that did not seem to grieve 'er
Look away! Look away! Look away!
Dixie Land
Ole Missus acted the foolish part
And died for a man that broke her heart
Look away! Look away! Look away!
Dixie Land
Now here's a health to the next ole Missus
An' all the gals that want to kiss us;
Look away! Look away! Look away!
Dixie Land
But if you want to drive 'way sorrow
Come and hear this song tomorrow
Look away! Look away! Look away!
Dixie Land
There's buckwheat cakes and Injun batter,
Makes you fat or a little fatter
Look away! Look away! Look away!
Dixie Land
Then hoe it down and scratch your gravel,
To Dixie's Land I'm bound to travel,
Look away! Look away! Look away!
Dixie Land
This song was popular because, it was strongly identified by the south, especially during the Civil War.

Once upon a midnight moon, while I pondered, during June,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten books —
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a frapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my beloved nook.
"'Tis some crook," I muttered, "tapping at my beloved nook —
Not this but more."

Tragedy Strikes the Wagon Train

Dear Grandparents,
Today tragedy struck the wagon train. My rabbit, which I was going to cook spoiled in the beating Arizona sun. An old ox died of a rattle snake bite. We found some peculiar gold brics laying on the ground and we saw some Comanche Indians.
Yesterday evening some wierd space rock fell over our heads and landed in the desert and, a 17 year girl gave birth to a little baby boy. The worst thing that happened had to be when the tool supply was eaten by the horses. The most wierdest thing that has happened yet is that those new settlers are green. Wonder from where they're from. Anyway I might see you all in the mere future.
Your grandson,
Burke
