A social code called chivalry was created for knights in medieval Europe, stressing ideas such as courage, loyalty, and devotion which is seen as a good thing. The ideal knight was loyal, brave courageous, and protected the weak and poor, but most knights failed to do this, treating the lower classes brutally (Doc 5). Gothic style architecture could also be considered part of the Golden Age because of its extravagance. Unfortunately, large churches called Cathedrals were built in the style using the church's dirty money; it showed off the church’s wealth (Doc 9). The time period could be called Golden since older knowledge was preserved and influenced the future.

Magna Carta was when British Barons wanted the King to be more aware of their rights. They felt they weren't treated properly and wanted more say. King John isn't recognizing the Baron's rights. The Barons made it so they would have more say and freedom. “ [Britain’s] Magna Carta and bill of rights have long been the boast, as well as the security of that nation….this principle is a fundamental one…

Courage being the forefront of their strengths, showed the bravery of the Founding Fathers before the war had even begun by standing strongly behand their thoughts, beliefs and ideas to the point it caused turmoil between them and Britain, even though the outcome of their actions was obscured to them at the time. Courage may have been the front-runner for the founding fathers’ strengths, but their intellectual power reigns supreme as their greatest asset. The ability they had to think openly, freely and critically about topics such as freedom, life and politics becomes the founding fathers most prized possession and Britain’s worst adversary. Without their profound common sense and intellectual power as a strength the colonies would still resided under British rule instead of questioning their actions and becoming

The Declaration broke us away from England and was the start to America’s own path. There were many events that happen around the drawing up of the Declaration, but didn’t stop them from going through with the Declaration.

Titles that best fit the Medieval time period in Europe is Dark ages, Age of Faith and the Golden Ages. During this time Europe was a “Dark” place to be, but Faith and creativity came from this period. Even though corruption of the church overpowered the citizen, they still devoted themselves to God and help create magnificent architecture that can be traced to Europe. The people prided themselves with their religious beliefs. In summary, Medieval Europe was a difficult place to live ,but the citizens showed faith and devotion that help them move through that

This belongs in the courage section because he went from being a good guy to a bad guy, if he didn 't do that he would probably be killed like the rest of his family was. The last of many reasons Benn Kamm was courageous was, “Ben volunteered for dangerous missions blowing up cargo trains carrying supplies to German troops. Often, he and his fellow partisans discovered Jews hiding in the forests. “We took them with us” Ben said. “Old, young, children.

Also, the text states “Tens of thousands of people, including thousands of Jews, were fighting back against the Nazis” This take a lot of courage because this is corages because if you were caught fighting against the Nazis you would be killed. Lasstl, according to the text “Ben volunteered for dangerous missions blowing up cargo trains carrying supplies to German troops.”

“Amazing the things you will find when you bother to search for them. ”-Sacagawea. Nowadays, when we think famous people we think of Kim Kardashian, Justin Bieber and Lebron James, but what about the famous celebrities who made history? When I got the chance to research a famous deceased individual, I choose Sacagawea. Sacagawea was a very important person in the history of America, in fact without her help Lewis and Clark might have ended up lost on their famous expedition in 1804.

I would imagine that the idea of an independent American was not an easy idea for many to stand by. Many would have probably thought that it was an effort that was not worth the risks, that fighting the kingdom of Britain would bring too heavy a cost. But of course, there were those with enough courage to speak openly about their feelings on their country 's situation. Patrick Henry seemed like a man that was willing to do whatever it took to gain independence. Henry’s letter made me proud to be an American, and to know that these men and women were coming together to fight for a better future.

They tried to hide what they could so they did not have to fight with the Germans, but in some cases, they had to. The Warsaw ghetto uprising was the most successful uprising in the Holocaust. “In response to the deportations, on July 28, 1942, several Jewish underground organizations created an armed self-defense unit known as the Jewish Combat Organization… German commander SS General Jurgen Stroop reported losing 12 men, killed and wounded, during the first assault on the ghetto” (Holocaust Memorial

They both shared the overarching need to inform the people they ruled and get a certain job done. However, while Eisenhower was focused on retrieving the art in order to preserve culture, Hitler’s focus was more for retrieving art in order to uphold his “Weltanschauung,”, or worldview. Eisenhower expresses his concern for the art in the very first lines of his memo he states, “Today we [Americans] are fighting in a country which has contributed a great deal to our cultural inheritance, a country rich in monuments which by their creation helped and now in their old age illustrate the growth of the civilization which is ours. We are bound to respect those monuments so far as war allows” (Eisenhower 1) . By this comment, Eisenhower makes clear that cultural inheritance lays the foundation for one’s civilization.

It has impacted the government greatly. It has also given this country a sense of nationalism. In conclusion, the Revolutionary War was one of the most important causes of what America is

I originally forgot to consider the European power factor in his timing and urgency, and do agree it was a strong factor in his timing. I believe more influential were the internal factors of keeping the union bonded together and not polarizing the issue that was already so much a point of contention among the Union and border states. Also I strongly agree that Lincoln was a genius in placing clear motivational distinction between the Union and Confederate, by making the North for freedom and the South against it. He intentionally made the divide bigger to motivate the Union to continue in a long war.

Spencer’s brother Robert wants to sign up for war and Spence wants to fight in the war but his dad has other plans for him. When he gets into the war he wants to go to Airborne training. He is a brave and loving kid. Spencer meets Dieter in the end of the story by trying to save him but ends up dying in the process. By the end of the story I can say that Dieter and Spencer were round characters.

Some men didn’t look up to Washington, but he is one of the greatest reasons that I am going to re-enlist in the Continental
