Personal Narrative: Worm Holes
One day while walking to school early in the morning i noticed a penny on the ground and went to pick it up. When i picked it up my surroundings totally changed. Apparently when i picked up the penny it caused a worm hole through the fabric of space and time. I looked around me and picked up a newspaper and found it to be March 4th 1841 and president Harrison was just elected. I then traveled to Washington D.C for answers to find President Harrison and speak with him before he dies in office. I have exactly 31 days before Harrison dies and i require answers to get back home. I must hurry before the wormhole closes and i would be permanently stuck here. It was the 4th of April by the time I got there just before his inaugural speech to ask …show more content…

I was first tutored by my family until I was 14 and I went to Hampden-Sidney college where I studied pre-medical instruction. I than enrolled into Pennsylvania University Medical school and one year later dropped in out in 1791 to join the army due to the fact that i had no more money to support school and i lost interest in it. I served under and fought under many respectable and brave soldiers during my time in the army. It taught me valuable lessons like respect and honor. My military and school experiences were ultimately my main cause of be president today.
A.H: How do you think you’ll be remembered in history?
W.H.H: I believe that i will be remembered as a leader in both battle and in my time in presidency. I will be remembered as “Old Tippecanoe” who fought and won battles against the indians that saved many which later caused the prosperity of the northwest territory and in turn will someday grow into something beautiful. My campaign style with the Whigs will be remembered for showing the people that i am a down to earth man who saw things in the people's eyes and could relate to them. A.H: How do you think the Whigs really helped you succeed in your

I was then reassigned to secretary of the Northwest Territory and in 1800 I became the governor of the Indiana territory. For twelve years i governed and after making deals with the Indians in that area i gained over 50 million acres for the United States and that's when the wars begun and when I got my nickname “Old Tippecanoe”. After the war against the Indians and the British there was a twentyfive year period where i became apart of the House Of Representatives in 1816 to 1819. I was elected a spot in the state senate but tried to become governor and failed. For the next two years after that I ran for the U.S senate but was not elected and later ran for the House of Representatives and was not elected again and finally in 1824 I was on the U.S senate. All that experience made me the man I am today with trial and error and not giving

    Although the dominant Clay-Webster group had published no platform, every alert politician knew what the unpublished platform contained. And on virtually every major issue, the obstinate Virginian was at odds with the majority of his adoptive Whig party, which was pro-bank, pro–protective tariff, and pro–internal improvements. “Tyler too” rhymed with “Tippecanoe,” but there the harmony ended. As events turned out, President Harrison, the Whig, served for only 4 weeks, whereas Tyler, the ex-Democrat who was still largely a Democrat at heart, served for 204 weeks.…

    The years following the War of 1812, marked the beginning of a influential era in history. The “Era of Good Feelings” directly resulted in the cease of the Federalist party, therefore leaving only one major party present throughout the nation. Since only one party stood, not much tension existed throughout Americas voters. Unity among voters however, did not last very long, just as the era had rapidly begun it came to and end as well. The election of 1824 marked a very significant election in history. Four candidates had arose from the one-party system still well intact. These four candidates were John Q. Adams, Andrew Jackson, Henry Clay and William Crawford. Since none won electoral majority the decision went to the house of representatives, where Clay used his influence to get Adams elected shortly after becoming president Clay is appointed as Secretary of State. This is well known as the “corrupt bargain”. Two elections later the successor of Andrew Jackson, Martin Van Buren states as written in document C “we can only restore a better state of things, by combining General Jackson’s personal popularity with the portion of old party feeling yet remaining”. Here he explains how he a future president, would like to follow the example of a very common man who was widely known as a war hero. This presents us with one of…

    During the Antebellum Period, our patriotic nation had fifteen leaders take office in the White House. Each president carved out a path for the country we have today, but one that was undisputably distinguishable from the rest; was George Washington. He endured catastrophes with poise, was an advocate for equal justice, a believer in ensuring a more perfect union, and an accomplished gentleman that was the imposing influence of America.…

    In the election of 1824, candidates John Quincy Adams, Henry Clay, and Andrew Jackson did not gain enough electoral votes to win. In accordance with the constitution, the election was settled in the House, and to the people’s dismay, Henry Clay helped John Quincy Adams gain enough votes to become President, in what what later known by the Democrats as the “corrupt bargain.” A war hero and aristocrat from the agrarian state of Tennessee who liked to chew tobacco and duel with pistols, Andrew Jackson was particularly livid about the results of this election, considering he had won the popular vote. Andrew Jackson and his party, the Democratic Party, won in the election of 1828 and went on to radically alter the principles and functions of democratic government by championing the “common man” and taking a brutal stance towards the Native Americans.…

    Corn hole was the second thing I tried at Fall Fest. This game is not the most thrilling thing in the world. There were several people that were waiting to play because it was pretty much the only thing to do. I am not very good at it, which is weird because the only thing you have to do is toss a bean bag onto a wooden box that has a hole in it. I have never understood the corn hole rules so that didn’t help. The way to get points is by making it in the hole or if the bag stays on the board, but I don’t know how the scoring works. My bags always missed or bounced off the board anyways. I was going to play volleyball after corn hole, but there was no one else playing it so I just watched a bunch of other people play corn hole. Countless other…

    President Quincy Adam’s term was over and the election leading to Andrew Jackson’s presidency was heavy with political parties. Quincy Adams served as a diplomat, a senator, and was in the House of Representatives.

Andrew Jackson believed in a strong presidency and a strong Union. The supporters of Andrew Jackson arose to become the modern Democratic Party. The supporters who backed up Quincy Adams began calling themselves the National Republicans.…

    Even though John Adams did not serve a successful presidential term, he still was a very interesting president to look up. It would be strange looking at a battle that would later be marked down in history. If the bill to give Native Americans passed, I wonder how the west would be different. I guess Adams had some thirst for more political juice when he became part of the House of Representatives. John Adams was a great man but should have done a lot…

    In the United States’ history, many of our presidents excelled in making this country a better place. Although they may be the head of this nation, they were not always the ones who made major impacts. Governors, senators, abolitionists and congressman all helped change this country and make it what it is today. Past senators Huey Long, Salmon Chase, and William Seward in particular helped change this great nation for the good. They all somewhat had the same view politically and had similar goals.…

I brought my friend, Mariah, along with me for my first experience. We are on our way to Puerto Rico from Florida, which means we will be going through the Bermuda Triangle. There have been a lot of rumors about people disappearing or being transported into the future when they go through the Bermuda Triangle. I did not believe the rumors, but as we board the ship they are constantly running through my head. Mariah gives me a drink of water and assures me that nothing is going to happen. We are finally on the ship and getting cozy in our room. As we set off for Puerto Rico, I decide to take a nap to try and get my mind off of things.…

    William Harrison Legacy

    • 1962 Words
    • 8 Pages

    In my opinion, William H. Harrison did not have a legacy. He is an icon. An icon is a person or thing that we remember for a specific reason, that when we hear the name, we immediately think about it. A legacy is not someone or something that reminds you of a specific thing, but reminds you of all the things that were accomplished and gives you the drive to accomplish something great yourself, instead of having thought of enjoyment as you do with icons. Yes, William H. Harrison fought many battles and won but so did many other commanders that we do not remember the names of. He gave us the land we know as Ohio but hurt people while doing it. Besides battles, William H. Harrison spent 32 days in office, lying in bed. Although he was sick, accomplishing nothing except being the first to die in office is not worthy of the title legacy, but more icon. He did nothing beneficial or made important changes to the country in his short days. We remember him for the fact that he died soon after he sworn in; an icon (even though he is an icon for dying while in office). We throw the word “legacy” around like it is no big deal. If you have over 1 million followers on a social media platform, you are a legacy. But what did you do to become a legacy? If you helped someone or made a change in the world, you are a legacy. But if all you did was say a phrase or post an artistic picture, you are an icon.…

    When I was younger I was a child who attended so many school that it was hard to keep track of the school I was attending the next day. I could be considered a military brat and education was instilled in me at a young age. Even when I had issues with homework I was always forced to sit at the table and solve the issue out with some assistance from my parents. Being taught that an education was something that was a requirement made me more successful in my classes as I grew up. Even thought the many schools I attended focused on my different topics I was always willing to learn more. The fourth school I attended was my first school that focused on learning about God. It was a hard transition for me to go from a school who focused a lot…
