THE LITTLE THING TO BE THANKFUL FOR

Some things to be thankful are like when you are at the Ice Cream shop and when you ask for two scoops of ice cream and the ice cream man gives you three. This is something to be thankful for because, the man doesn't have to, he does it out of the goodness of his heart. lol

Emancipation Proclamation annotation

MY TOPIC SELECTION IS THE EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION.

The emancipation proclamation was a document that President Abraham Lincoln wrote himself and published in 1863. This document was made for the purpose of freeing slaves in the south, the problem is that he could abolish it in the north as well without the congress's consent. This meant that he could not make everyone free in the country only the congress could because, believe it or not they had more power than he did. Before Lincoln could attempt to free slaves in the south he had to wait until the war was being won, so that certain states would not try to rebel against Lincoln's document about freeing slaves in the south. This is a good innovation topic because, without this some people would still be slaves in the south and even in the whole country. (general knowledge)

My primary source is http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/featured_documents/emancipation_proclamation/

this is a primary source because, it has actual pictures of the emancipation proclamation document. This website also, tells what the document was about as well as when it was made. This website shows who signed the document.

The next source that I've found is http://americancivilwar.com/eman.html

This a primary source also because, it has the written document and books about the civil war as well as books about the emancipation proclamation. Some of the books are called, Abraham lincoln, The emancipation proclamation three views, nothing but freedom: emancipation and its legacy. These books tell about how the emancipation proclamation was tied to the civil war and towards the freeing of the slaves.

My next source is a secondary source is called, http://americancivilwar.com/eman.html This website is a secondary website because, it shows the author's opinion as well as facts about the emancipation proclamation. The author tells how the document was established and its effect on the war with the slaves in the south. He could not free all of the slaves because, this document only applied to the south. The document only applied to the south because, the south did not want to have free slaves but the north did. So this website tells about how the document worked between the north and south.

http://www.blogger.com/www. What if slavery was not abolished in the south and the north? This website gives information about how the emancipation proclamation gave people the right to rebel against slavery. This also, gave slaves free slaves the right to be with who ever they wanted to be with. so this is a great website for my n.h.d.

My next source is the http://www.u-s-history.com/pages/h119.html website. This website has almost everything i need to know about the Emancipation Proclamation. It has facts about when the document was made also, it has different links to where other information can be attained throughout the website.

http://www.historyplace.com/lincoln/#emance This is a primary source because, this website has Lincoln's whole timeline of life. It has links about all of his historical moments. This website tells me everything from the time he was born all the way up to his tragic death. So i believe that this website will give me all the info I need to know about the Emanciaption Proclamation as well as anything else i want to know.

My next source is a secondary source. This source came from www.buzzle.com, the person wrote this was Gaynor Borade and it was published in 4/6/2009. This gives me facts about how the original document was written on September 22, 1862 but, the official document wasn't set in stone until January 1, 1863. It also, gives me facts about what Lincoln's intentions were during this time of crises.

My next source is the Great event of the Nineteenth Century: Lincoln Issues the Emancipation Proclamation. This is a primary source because it has a picture of Abraham Lincoln and his cabinet signing the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863. This source also gives me information on Lincoln's true intentions about using the document as well as opinions about it. This is also classified as a primary source.

This source that i have coming up is a website, which is called besthistorysites.net. This website has a link to where when I click on it, it gives me a breif summary of what happened during the time of the Emancipation Proclamation. Plus it is primary, because it has very detailed pictures during the time of Lincoln life time.

This next resource is a book by Allen C. Guelzo. The book is called, Emancipation Proclamation: the end of slavery. Now even though this document did not free the slaves completely this book does give great understanding about the emancipation proclamation. So this is a great primary source.

The next book is called, The Emancipation Proclamation the Three Views:(social, political, and iconiographic). This book is important to my research because, it has three different views about the document and the story itself. This is also a Primary source to my project.

Innovation

1. The innovation topic that I am working on is called the Printing Press.

2. The Printing Press was developed in 1439.

3. A man named Johannes Gutenburg invented the printing press. He made it with replacable and movable letters. (which were made of wood and/or metal)

4. The machine had a numourous amount of letters, that where moved around to make messages. They was also, color added to the letters so that the letters would not be plain. The machine it self, was a square shape that had slots for the letters so that they can be printed. It replaced, having to hear about the news. When this happened the news was delivered to people all over.

5. The benefits that the printing press has provided a lot of resources for people. People where able to obtain letters and papers faster than ever before.

Other information: Johannes Gutenburg was born around the 1400's-1468. Gutenburg was a german printer and pioneer who was the first European to print an object through his printing press.

class bill of rights ideas

Some ideas for a class bill of rights that i have are: 

1. treat everyone the way  you want to be treated.

2. respect the class bill of rights. 

3. freedom of speech in the class room as long as its appropriate. 

Bill of rights

The Bill of Rights:
1. the bill of rights is the name by which the first ten amendments of the constitution are known.
2. the 3 amendments that effect me the most are freedom of speech, the right to vote, and all men are created equal. These are the amendments that effect me the most beacause, these amendments state that people have the right to say what they want, when they want.The right to vote is important because, this gives the people the right to vote for someone that they want to govern the state, city, and country e.t.c . All men are created equal means that all humans are created the same.
3. the bill of has protected us over the last 200 years by, keeping laws in order, letting people have rights to speak up and, to just let people have rights overall.
4. the rights that i believe that are missing are children under should be able to vote even if under the age of 18. I say this because, if we all have freedom of speech then children should have the right to vote.
5. I don't think that there should be any rights that should be taken away because, if you take one bill away then you must take away other bills it would be a chain reaction.

Keirsey calls me the Guardian Protecter.

Personality

Personality is the way you or someone expresses themselves. Its the music you listen to, your emotions, and the you act. If no one in this world had a personality, the world would be very dull and difficult without personailty. My personality is couragous, bold, outspoken, loving, caring, and I refuse to take anything bad from anybody. I mean some people have bad personalities so, i guess people that have bad personalities can live in a world like that. For me i can't because, everyone around the world would act the same.

Violence in our World

A problem that affects our world is violence. If violence ended then peace would come to the world, crimes would end, murders would possibly end , and people overall would be better. But, this is just a dream. People believe in world peace but, do anything about it, if you believe then make a stand. Some things that we can do to stop violence is, make treaties with other nations, hold more meetings with other nations to get to know them better, and try to stop the problems at the source. If violence would end then people all over the world would be happy and joyous. People wouldn't have to worry about gangs wars around their children, our troops would come, you wouldn't have to worry about getting shot or robbed at night, and more people would feel safer on the streets.

We could also, open more recreation centers for kids so that they do not have grow up through violence. We could get people some kind of help to make sure that they are not exposed to gangs, theft, rape, just all different types of crimes. But, as i mentioned this will never happen if people do not step up and help because it only takes one person to make a change in the world and it all starts with you.
