Pocahontas, a well known figure in history, was the main topic of John Smith’s letter to Queen Anne of Great Britain in 1616. John Smith was incredibly fond of her and believed that she should be welcomed and respected in England. John Smith speaks highly of Pocahontas, as well as Queen Anne in this letter. John has had many encounters (both good and bad) with Pocahontas, and he mentions these instances in a positive and respectful way.

While this letter is meant to be about Pocahontas, he also speaks about Queen Anne herself in order to help persuade her.…

Around one hundred fifty years ago, two superior, enemy armies faced each other outside a crossroads town in Pennsylvania. Neither army’s commander planned to battle at Gettysburg, but the assault took on a life of its own as soldiers in blue and gray rushed to the noise of bullets whizzing past them. Here, the battle would last for three days, leaving approximately 7,000 Americans dead and 30,000 wounded. The “vain and bad-tempered” (“Killer”), man Meade was ordered to take command of the Union army three days before the definitive battle, failing to eradicate Lee’s wrecked army, managing to let the army escape across the Potomac River before it could be seized, and not following through with the Henry Wager Halleck’s orders.…

As a young girl, Harriet Jacobs was fortunate, or as fortunate as a child slave could be. Her first mistress was nicer than most common masters since she taught Harriet how to read and write until the age of 12, when her mistress died. She stated at one point that she was happy to work for her because, “No toilsome or disagreeable duties were imposed upon me. My mistress was so kind to me that I was always glad to do her bidding” (Jacobs 15). Literate slaves, though uncommon, did exist, however marginalized and suppressed their existence might have been. Harriet’s ability to articulate her experiences stemmed from her desire to have her story told. Harriet’s life was relatively easy-going compared to the lives of other slaves.
