In January the 17th of 1781 while Tarleton's men (Britain) attacked, Morgan (Colonies) instructed the militia to skirmish with Tarleton's men but to leave the front line open after firing a few rounds. The british mistook the repositioning of the Colonies as a rout and ran into an unexpected volley of aiming rifle fire with a cavalry charge and the militia showing up. The Tarleton escaped but Morgan's troops destroyed his army. In the end more than 800 of britain's troops were either captured or killed. The Americans suffered about 100 casualties in their first patriot victory to show they could outfight a similar british army without any other factors…

The battle took place on Dong Ap Bia (Ap Bia Mountain, Vietnamese: Đồi A Bia) in the rugged, jungle-shrouded mountains of South Vietnam, 1.2 miles (1.9 km) from the Laotian border. The entire mountain is a rugged, uninviting wilderness blanketed in double- and triple-canopy jungle, dense thickets of bamboo, and waist-high elephant grass. The American soldiers who fought there dubbed it "Hamburger Hill", suggesting that those who fought on the hill were "chewed up like a hamburger" in joking reference to the Battle of Pork Chop Hill during the Korean Wa.…

A major event of the story is the selling of Boxer to the slaughterhouse. The pigs selling boxer to the slaughterhouse shows that the values of the lives of the other animals is not so important. The pigs treat the animals like jones because they are acting just how jones when jones was in charge. The pigs are walking around with clothes on and a whips in their hooves.

The pigs explain the actions taken towards boxer as the vet had bought the cart from the slaughter and have painted it yet.…
On January 17, 1781, the Battle of Cowpens ensued. This battle was a key battle in the American Revolution, and pitted 1100 well trained soldiers from Britain against 300 Continental Regulars and 700 Militiamen. The odds seemed overwhelming in favor of the Brits, but Brigadier General Daniel Morgan had different ideas on the outcome of this battle. Morgan was able to use certain aspect of his men and of the enemy to put together a plan that ultimately won the day.…
Colonial militiamen had no uniforms and had to supply their own guns and ammunition, as well as food and other accessories. Many had learned to shoot while hunting for food or fighting Native Americans in the countryside. They were hardly prepared for the organized and almost polite method of warfare practiced by the British army, in which soldiers lined up on opposite sides of the battlefield and advanced toward the enemy, shooting. Though the militiamen’s rifles were accurate, they held only one shot and often lacked the bayonets (knives) attached…
The treatment of animals in animal farms is greatly disrupted because of major food industries and the financial costs. Cows are genetically and evolutionary modified to eat grass but the farm owner are forcing the cows to eat corn because it is cheaper and corn makes them fat more quickly. This is just one example of the many of the mistreatments of farm animals that was talked about in this documentary. Since cows are meant to eat grass and not corn this high corn diet results in E. coli formation. E. Coli formation is not only a product of the diet but also a product in farm animal lifestyle. The cows stand ankle deep in their manure for most parts of the day if not the entire day, meaning that if one cow was to develop the disease than the entire cow population on the farm will also acquire the disease. This disease is then carried form the farms to the slaughterhouses and form the slaughterhouses to our grocery stores. The documentary reports that this transfer in disease resulted in a death of a young boy from eating a burger at Jack in the Box.…
He stopped. Around him laid the bodies of comrades and friends, puddles of blood surrounding their corpses, their flesh blackened and charred. On the ground next to many their heads laid severed, visages of terror forever printed upon them. Some had been ripped apart, their organs beside them, either dry and shriveled or still oozing blood. More still remained deep in the blaze, given no opportunity of escape. However so, the more unlucky of these men remained alive, groaning in agony with the last of their shallow…
Today, April 25, 1945 we are pleased to honor our dear friend, Boxer, for all of his hard work. Along with his farm mates, Boxer was born and raised on Manor Farm. He was always the most faithful, diligent, and disciplined worker, who would do anything to make Manor Farm, “picture-perfect.” Due to tragic events, Boxer has recently passed away, but that does not mean his hardworking legacy will not carry on. As if farm work was not enough, Boxer was also a war veteran. During a fierce rebellion to win back the animal farm, Boxer, put all of his bravery into the Battle of Cowshed, proving to be one of the best soldiers with his incredible strength.…
When Virgil Earp, along with his brothers Morgan and Wyatt and their friend Doc Holliday, confronted five cowboys in the city of Tombstone over carrying firearms in town, violence erupted. This incident became known as the gunfight at the OK corral and only lasted about 30 seconds yet it’s forever immortalized in our history. We know this because of the countless movies and books written about the event. It’s interesting to note that even in this most famous gunfight of the violent West, only three people were killed. In any modern city today, such a minor incident would probably not even be front-page…
“The Derry Journal contains the following account of a sense of terror and alarm which occurred in a quiet village, but a few evenings since in consequence of a farmer of reliable veracity knocking up his sleepy neighbors to defend their homes and their firesides against a host of bloodthirsty, who were in march for their well-stocked farmyards. After some delay a great number of the male inhabitants were brought…
Imagine two gentlemen facing off in a Southern forest. Suddenly a shot crackles through the air, and a man falls dead to the ground. Later, the killer is not charged with murder or put before a judge or jury. Dueling is defined by Webster’s Dictionary as, “a fight between two people that includes the use of weapons (such as guns or swords) that usually happens while other people watch.” Some people consider dueling an art form, but most people now consider dueling a barbaric method of settling petty disputes.…
We now look to Paul Revere’s famous engraving, which clearly depicts a row of soldiers standing and opening fire on what appears to be a crowd of helpless civilians and even a harmless dog. None of the civilians have any weapons in their hands, nor do they seem to be charging the soldiers or even attempting to fight back. While this is probably slightly exaggerated, there is no possible way that Paul Revere would have completely changed the actual events around just for a better engraving. He created this to represent the events as best as he could, which leaves us with a very legitimate source.…
