The Civil War is considered to be the bloodiest episodes of warfare in American History. During this war, there were numerous well known battles. One of the most famous battles was called the Second Battle of Bull Run. The Second Battle of Bull Run was fought over August 28-30, 1862. Although this battle lasted only 3 days, there were approximately 22,000 casualties during this span.
Though the Civil War began when Confederate troops shelled Fort Sumter on April 12, 1861, the war didn’t begin in earnest until the Battle of Bull Run, fought in Virginia just miles from Washington DC, on July 21, 1861. Popular fervor led President Lincoln to push a cautious Brigadier General Irvin McDowell, commander of the Union army in Northern Virginia, to attack the Confederate forces commanded by Brigadier General P.G.T. Beauregard, which held a relatively strong position along Bull Run, just northeast of Manassas Junction. The goal was to make quick work of the bulk of the Confederate army, open the way to Richmond, the Confederate capital, and end the war.

I Vote Yea for the “Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” It is my own personal belief that the “Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” should be included in high school English curriculum’s and libraries with all its coarse and potentially racist language because in a light hearted and sometimes humorous way it gives us an incite on how life was in the past. The language and theme of the story was written in and at a time in history where slavery was legal, acceptable, and expected. It is also the way people talked during that time period. At this point and time in our lives, I feel we all should be able to read a work of literature and not view it as racist but the work of art it was meant to be and to be able to use it as a learning tool for
Around the time of these protests Americans were beginning to realize their rights as citizens and what their ideal government looked like. Settlers of the backcountry were rebelling against the federalists, attempting to acquire more representation in the government. The people of the backcountry were becoming more oppressed as Alexander Hamilton began to attempt to improve America’s economy with manufacturing and revenue taxes. The backcountry settlers organized violent protests, three of these rebellions being Shays’ Rebellion, Whiskey Rebellion, and March of the Paxton Boys.

Morality is defined as the principles for which people treat one another, respect for justice, and the welfare and rights of others. Moral development is gained from major experiences that can change viewpoints on life or cause people to make a difficult choice in a tough situation. In The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, one of Mark Twain’s major themes evident in the book is the moral development of Huck FInn, the main character. In the beginning of the book, Huck’s lack of morals and uncultured personality is a product of living with his abusive, demoralized father.
The 1870s, the time after the Civil War, was a decade of imperialism, great invention, reconstruction, labor unions and strikes, and the Sioux Wars. Especially The battle of the little Bighorn, was a crushing defeat for the 7th Cavalry Regiment of the United States Army under George Armstrong Custer. The 700 men strong 7th Cavalry Regiment were defeated by the Lakota, Northern Cheyenne, and Arapaho, which were leaded by several important war leaders, including Crazy Horse and Chief Gall, Sitting Bull. The reason of the Sioux Wars, and so also of the battle of the little Bighorn, was that the Native Americans fight for their land. The Battle of Little Bighorn was a training point in the relation between America and Native America because
n this society, lots of people claim to believe when they do not really believe. Mark Twain features a lot of phenomena like that throughout The Adventure of Huckleberry Finn. In the novel, he fiercely opposes this kind of fake practice and even states that through Huck’s mouth, “ I didn’t care no more about him, because I don’t take no stock in dead people(Twain 4).” He demonstrates the hypocrisy of religion involved in all classes at the time and good and bad sides of humanity. Many of the people like Mrs. Watson and Grangerford family act as the typical religious followers in this society and regarded as good persons, yet their loyalty to God is ostensible.
Christopher Boone, the main character, has an intense form of autism known as Asperger’s Syndrome which immensely affects his social behaviors and ability to understand social cues. This is a personal challenge for not only Christopher but also those around him, especially his father. When Christopher was reunited with his father after temporarily being under arrest it is revealed to the readers that although Christopher is unable to understand complex emotion, he shares a special bond with his father. The action Christopher and his father engage may be described as an elongated high-five instead of hugging one another “Father wants to give me a hug, but I do not like hugging people, so we do this instead, and it means that he loves me.” This is also seen when Christopher becomes upset when Siobhan after she makes a joke in regards to Christopher
There is a lot of controversy about the book, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain, about the n-word being used in the old version too much and other things to go along with the n-word also. I’m going talk about why both versions should be available because I think the people should have the choice whether they want to read the new version or old version. I think the new version should be used because the colored people take offense the the n-word, and sometimes people don’t realize how bad the word is I think. I also think the new version should be used because I personally think
