I sent you an email ealier today about the Paul Revere internet assignment. There was a little blue clock on it with a "in porgress" pop up when I went to check if it was graded. In the email I asked if I turned the assignment in correctly. I just found out that when I submitted the assignment I pressed "ok" instead of "continue" so that 's why it wasn 't fully submitted. Hopefully everything is now
I could email you the electronic copy of the assignment, but the Drexel 's email services are down as well.
How many people do you think thought this war would be a big event. This is a special day that many died and we make know of it the American Revolution. There have been many occasions like this one but with the help from Paul Revere, Boston, and the stamp act. Paul was an ordinary man and became involved in many special events.

First of all, the poem stated that when Revere was waiting for the signal of the famous lanterns he was already across the shore, on his horse ready to gallop away to warn the citizens of the nearby towns. In Revere’s own writing, he stated he was still in Boston when his friend lit the signals. Paul actually told his friend to go atop the Old North Church and light the signal to warn others. There is a little something that is true in the poem. Two if by land and one if by sea.
It was only a few days ago. Super Bowl Sunday. The day in which NFL football fans, compulsive gamblers, and any person that simply loves to stuff their face with food waits for all year with great anticipation. The New England Patriots took on the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LII. It looked like a considerable matchup.
James I, born June 19, 1566, was the King of England, Great Britain, and was Scotland 's short-lived king. James was known to be a controversial ruler and was hated by Parliament.

The Gilded Age was a “term coined in the 1873 to critique an era of political corruption and economic inequality that stretched to 1900” as the book says, but what was the Gilded Age really? The Gilded Age was a time of era where we will always remember of the accomplishments of thousands of Americans, but it was also a gap between the rich and the poor. The Gilded Age had many important growth for the economy, which is industrialization, railroads, inventions, monopolies, Laissez-faire policies, labor unions, urbanization, settlement of the West, and the rise of the Populist. The Gilded Age was a time of social change and economic growth. “During the Gilded Age, 1876-1900, Congress was known for being rowdy and inefficient” said from sageamericanhistory.net.
It would have been difficult to understand what the colonies and the British were going through during the revolution. I understand why people, such as, John Dickinson were conflicted when it came to American independence. To add to your reasons why Dickinson felt the way he did towards American independence, Dickinson felt the best thing for the colonies was to form an alliance with Great Britain. He felt one day “provinces would rise up against provinces and cities against cities,” to fight a common enemy, which would result the colonies to resort back to Britain, even though we once rejected them. In addition, he felt that separating us would give us dependence and not independence.
David Ramsey, in his excerpt, talked about his view on what happened during the American Revolution and why it happened. He touched multiple topics including valid, specific reasons on why the colonies wanted freedom and why Britain restricted it. Britain as a nation was the reason for which the colonies had broken apart from it. First of all, according to Ramsey, the New World was too big for Britain to control.
The gilded age was a hot mess, but what age of reform wasn't? Gilded means ‘not as it seems’. We had progressives uncovering horrific truths left and right. The progressives were fighting hard for solutions to the problems than were caused by rapid industry growth, Political corruption and urban growth. More specifically crime, poverty, and discrimination in the workplace.
Is Andrew Jackson a hero or a villain? Throughout history Jackson has been viewed as both. Some see him as a war hero and the people’s president. Others see him as a racist and a political tyrant. To me, Andrew Jackson is more of a hero.
Jessica HillisMr. GillardAP US History5 January 2007Essay 16: Gilded AgeThroughout history, certain periods of time have been given certain names based on thehappenings that occurred. Many have called the period of 1865 to 1901 the “Gilded Age”, be-cause it was “shiny and pretty” on the outside but it was “rough and ugly” underneath. The term“Gilded Age” was actually coined by Mark Twain who satired the Gilded Age with a GoldenAge.
Thomas Jefferson’s works and ideas laid the foundation for several key aspects on the limits of the United States government, the idea of separation of church and state, and the importance of personal rights. Jefferson wrote many influential pieces of literature which pushed the concept of having limited government power. Jefferson wanted America not to be like the European monarchies that fell due to religious strife, so he emphasized a secular government. Jefferson, following closely with the ideas of John Locke, stressed the importance of the protection of individual rights against the government. Thomas Jefferson believed that a government should have limitations.
The Battle of Fredericksburg was fought on December 11-15th 1862. The Potomac Union soldiers, commanded by Ambrose Burnside, came into battle with over 100,000 soldiers ready for combat. For the Confederacy, the number of soldiers was about half of the Union’s amount with only around 70,000. This battle was the first Urban battle of the war, forcing citizens and families out of their homes and some into the woods.
The Famous Ride of Paul Revere Paul Revere is known for his famous ride through Charlestown, Virginia on April eighteenth, 1775 at midnight. There are many stories that have been published about this famous ride, but many are inaccurate. “Paul Revere’s Ride,” by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow is not a credible source of information because Revere does not do the same things within these two pieces of literature, the British’s actions are not the same in the poem and the letter, and Revere is not alone on this famous night. Longfellow does not match his poem up with the true actions of Paul Revere.
