Bridgewater, Va. – The Treasury Department announced on Wednesday April 20th, abolitionist, and anti-slavery activist Harriet Tubman is to replace the 7th president of the United States, Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill. This is a mark in history because she will not only be the first African-American to appear on United States paper currency, but also the first woman in over a century. The original plan was to have a woman replace founding father Alexander Hamilton on the $10 bill.

The use of steam speed up the efficient transportation of perishable good and trades. Steamboat was extremely valuable during the civil war.
There have been steam engine trains trailing the United States in the early 1800’s. Many of the early ones ran only a few dozen miles. When the railways ran longer distances, the cost to build and later ride them were be extremely high. However, long distances were what Minnesota needed to keep up with the competitive and growing nation around it. “Construction began on the first track in 1861 in St. Paul and was completed in 1862.”
Transcontinental Railroad Tera Richardson, 4336787 History 102 B008 Sum 17 Professor Traci Sumner American Military University July 22, 2017 Abstract The transcontinental railroad was one of the biggest advocates for the industrial economy and westward expansion.

Wow, this is an amazing sight of beauty. Why is this not a national park? It seems as if we are thinking the same thing. It is visited by hundreds of people every year. I think the government should make this wonderful decision to make the Providence Canyon a national park.
I think a huge problem in our society is all this talk about the North Dakota Pipeline. In my honest opinion i think it is wrong. There is many people who use the water supply and if something happens with the pipeline it could contaminate the Native Americans water supply. There is many people who count on the water and use it everyday for cooking, cleaning, and drinking. If they go through with the pipeline act it could kill many Native Americans because we need water to survive.

The Transcontinental Railroad The completion of the first Transcontinental Railroad was an important event in the United States history. There were many challenges in building it, but after it was finished, it connected the East Coast of the United States to the West Coast. The railroad took three whole years to build, with the help of two railroad companies and thousands of other hired workers.
During the 1500s until 1865 the 3 most defining moments in African American History were Slavery, The Underground Railroad, and The Civil Rights. I chose these 3 events because they played a very important role in the United States. Slavery was important because, it provided labor power to settle in the economy and development of the modern world. The Underground is very unique to me because, it is like a secret hideout for slaves. It allowed them to escape safer and faster than a normal escape.
Covered in coarse orange and black setae, Dasymutilla occidentalis, or the velvet ant can be found in grassy fields or on the edges of forests in the Eastern and Western portions of the United States. The common name ‘velvet ant’ is rather misleading as the insect is actually a member of the Mutillidae family, which encompasses over 3,000 species of wasps. It is also known as the ‘cow killer’ or ‘mule killer’ in response the female’s painful stinging abilities. Although, the level of pain is comparable to a bee sting and will not likely kill.
