All of this would all happen on the 18th and 19th of April Late evening and early morning. After Paul and his friend make a plan at the belfry-arch Of the North-Church-tower.

The novel “One Foot in Eden” by Ron Rash is set in South Carolina during the 20th century. There is one character in the novel Amy, who is a woman who has grown up in the south during this time and now has a family of her own. She is a strong character in his novel that exemplifies women’s roles in the south in both the family setting and the role by itself.

Lieutenant Nun: Memoir of a Basque Transvestite in the New World is a memoir by Catalina de Erauso detailing her experiences during the early 1600’s in South America and Spain. She was born in 1585 into a well off Basque family and her parents were native-born residents of San Sebastian Spain. This book is one of the earliest known autobiographies by a woman and details the events that took places when Catalina escaped a Basque convent dressed as a man. During this time she served as soldier in the Spanish army, traveling to Peru and Chile, and even becoming a gambler. Being that my major falls under sociology, I will be looking at themes surrounding the constraints of females in Spanish society in the 1600’s and how this affects Catalina.

This treaty allowed the United States and Great Britain to trade in the middle of the French Revolutionary War, thus, angering France, which lead them to attack American ships. Three Diplomats were then sent to France to negotiate with three agents but the agents only tried to bribe the diplomats. However, the diplomats would not except the bribe. Congress wanted war but President Adams did not want war, instead, he wanted to expand the military. Congress stopped trading with France and any alliance they had with them and tripled the size of the army.

The Native American tribes and the United States have a very long and devastating past. The english came from overseas and started taking the Natives land which they didn’t like. The Colonies did barter with some tribes, but fought for territory with most other tribes. The French even became allies with the Natives to try to defeat us in war.

Orlean is a French town along the Loire River. In 1428, the Siege of Orleans took place, which is known as the turning point in the Hundred Years War. English forces had been attempting to seize, or trying to take over towns, in the north eastern part of France, and England had begun to lay siege on Orleans . By February of 1429, Joan of Arc, who had been claimed to have been persuaded by saints, then persuaded Charles VII to take back the city. Joan and the troops entered Orleans through Chezy, five miles upstream, and stormed forts, which eventually caused the English to abandon the siege.

The General in charge of the attack realized there were too many colonists, and sent for reinforcements. The reinforcements come 2 weeks later, at Bemis Heights, though, they were too late, as well as surrendered. The british surrendered, and the Americans were astounded. They had one. The battle of Saratoga was a game changer for both the Americans and the British.

General Jackson intended to capture Fort San Carlos the following day; however, the British destroyed the fort during the night and run away. On November 14, 1814, Andrew Jackson said to Willie Blount, “…Tremendous explosions told me that the Barancas with all its appendages was blown up…I determined to withdraw my troops, but before I did I had the pleasure to see the British depart.” Very few men were injured or killed in this squabble between the Americans and the British and Spanish.

Pontiac’s War was a notable part of the history of the interaction between Native Americans and Europeans in eastern North America.

The British defeated the French on North American soil.
