There were many appalling prison camps during the Civil War, but the most infamous was Andersonville. A shocking 13,000 people died in this camp(Bartels). Andersonville was run from February of 1864 until April of 1865. When the North found out about what happened at Andersonville, people were outraged. They wanted justice, and so the man running the camp, Henry Wirz, was tried and hanged for war crimes(Kohn).
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. But that plan was revoked according to Jacob Lew, the Treasury Secretary, when the Pulitzer Prize winning Broadway musical portraying Hamilton’s life gained a lot of support, as reported by USA Today.
Valley Forge was a base winter camp located next to Pennsylvania. George Washington helped out and taught the soldiers how to use guns and fight battles. I am going to leave Valley Forge because the quality of this camp is horrible. (DOC A) There was a very high percentage of soldiers who died of illness because they did not cure any illnesses.
Valley Forge is a winter camp set up by george washington and his troops. The camp was horrible! They were low on supplies, and not prepared. People died of illness and disease. It was a fight against disease, nature, and themselves.
It can be hard in Texas sometimes to get into the spirit of autumn in late September; as the rest of the country gets cold fronts and starts eating soup we are still rockin’ the high 80s and swimming on the weekends. Luckily, we can kind of have our pumpkin cake and eat it too by relishing the seasonable weather outdoors and appreciating all the marvelous things that fall has to offer! With the perfect Canton TX lodging, a late September visit to East Texas is bursting with family friendly activities around the whole area. What better way to get into the fall spirit than with a state fair? The East Texas State Fair begins September 25th.
After all the practicing and sharing, it was time for SPLASHING! Sunglasses and sunscreen were on, and friends were summertime ready! Friend has tons; I mean TONS of fun today during water play. They even created a water slide. Six Flags White Waters was here at the Greenhouse!
The Pickaway Center continues to enjoy our Volunteer Opportunity at the Ross County Dog shelter. The dogs have gotten so use to us coming that they all stand waiting by their cage doors when we enter the back room. When the weather is nice we enjoy taking them for walks, playing fetch our just relaxing with them under the shade tree. We then will come in and make sure the dogs have plenty of fresh water and that their cage area has been cleaned out. Before leaving we make sure to pass out treats and give them one last hug before seeing them
Valley forge was a winter camp for for soldiers to train. But the conditions at the camp were horrible with bad housing, food, weather, and clothing. Many quit due to those harsh conditions. If I were at Valley Forge I would have definitely quit. 50% of the soldier got diseases and 1,800 to 2,500 died.
Valley Forge: Should I re-enlist? The question all soldiers at Valley Forge asked themselves was will I re-enlist? I decided I was going to re-enlist why would I not re-enlist and not let all people whom I’m fighting lose their freedom from a stupid decision I made. Valley Forge sadly was the ugly duck compared to where the Red Coats were staying.

Nia Ashley Professor BoBo History 2030-02 20 September 2016 Overton County Did you know Tennessee was the 16th state? People typically do not know the history behind their state. Tennessee became a state June 1, 1796, and now consists of 95 counties. Counties are what makes up a state and breaks down different subdivisions, without these counties states would have no direction and be one enormous blob.
If I was in Valley Forge, I would stay and train there. There are very harsh conditions at Valley Forge. I would stay through that to test myself and see how tough I am to see if I can last the conditions. I also want to be known as someone who fought the conditions and trained for war for testing at Valley Forge. I also want people to notice my skills and endurance as a fighter.
1. Saturday, December 1941: There is a tremendous amount of people in Long Beach. There are about twenty to twenty-five boats getting ready to leave, including Papa’s “The Nereid” boat, to take off for the fishing season. It is a beautiful day with clear skies. All the fishermen were preparing for the long journey, which was unpredicted for how long.
In policy making oftentimes decisions are made that seem like a good idea on paper, but in reality these decisions have many unintended consequences. I believe this is what occurred in Orlando. The “movers and shakers,” of Orlando believed that bringing in an attraction like Disney would help Orlando grow economically. While economic growth did occur in the short term, it severely pigeonholed the town in the long term. Over the years Disney has helped create a large amount of service jobs, but the quality of these jobs is low and in essence doesn’t provide much if any social mobility for employees.
It was an afternoon right after we had all finished doing our rotations. I was sitting in the top deck of the boat, alone. I decided to go up there because no one was up there and I kind of wanted some alone time. As I was up there, I saw all my classmates having fun. They were jumping off the bow of the boat and going swimming in the ocean.
