The Seneca orator known as Red Jacket, for the red jacket the British Awarded to him for his services as a message runner during the Revolutionary War and Benjamin Franklin both made very valid point in their speeches. The Indians had a very peaceful way of life. They had their own governing and civility system and they taught their young the way of their ancestors, never taking what “The Great Spirit” (pg 230) gave them for granted. They always welcomed strangers; giving them clothes, shelter and food without ever expecting anything in return. Even when this visitors broke their most basic of common rules like announcing their presence before entering a village. “We took pity on them, granted their request; and they sat down among us.…

During her military deployment in Iraq in 2003, PFC Jessica Lynch was injured when a rocket-propelled grenade hit her unit’s vehicle. She then had to be rescued because of her serious injuries and was taken to an Iraqi hospital. There are two sides to what happened next: the U.S government’s story versus the doctor’s story.

However, the doctors that treated her said they gave her the best possible treatment they could offer and that they tried their best to help her. On April 1, 2003, a group of American soldiers came to rescue her. Civilians had been informed that she had bullet and stab wounds, which there was no evidence of.…

On this morning, 250,000 civil rights supports gather at the base of the Lincoln Memorial during the March on Washington to hear a speech that would bring about its own change—a change that would affect the lives of all of America.…
