    She was physically alive but mentally and emotionally dead. Mary got separated from two of her children and was left with the youngest who was wounded and died shortly there after in Mary’s hand due to lack of medical attention. Mary learned that her elder daughter was held in the town that she was but never saw her. She continued with the Indians on their journey through the wilderness, barely surviving what is now her life. The Indians had stopped at many towns that they conquered, selling the settlers from Lancaster to different sannups and squaws (husband and wife respectively). This was exhausting for Mary as she had to be moving often with different masters each time. She finally saw her son as he was held captive at a settlement that was close by and again was separated shortly thereafter from him. She felt as if the journey was never ending and life was no longer important to her; “When I was returned, I found myself as unsatisfied as I was before […] my sprit was ready to sink with the thoughts of my poor children.”…

    Anne Marbury Hutchinson was a Puritan woman who believed she knew the New England ministers were not teaching the truth to their Puritan followers and that she knew the real word of God. She quickly grew a following of both women and men. This sparked major controversy in the new colony because she was the first woman to speak her mind in a society where women were not allowed to do so. People started to get fed up with her antics so she was put on trial and later sentenced to banishment of the colony of Boston. In March 1638 Anne, her husband, and her children moved to Rhode Island, then a year later Anne’s husband died so she moved to New York where she was killed by Indians.

She was mistreated by most of the Indians, but received compassion from a few as well. She viewed her captivity as a way to draw closer to God and seek out His providence.…

    Blackbeard was not the big bad pirate that he is thought to be. Most people think that he was the most fearsome and dangerous pirate that has ever lived, which in most ways he was. However, he made up stories and stretched the truth to make him self look much tougher than he really was. In the early 1700’s Edward Teach earned his place in pirating history, acquiring the name Blackbeard because of his large black beard that almost covered his entire face. Blackbeard terrorized the coastal settlements of Virginia and the Carolinas around 1717 mostly taking valuables, rum, and weapons from his victims.…

    My research paper will examine the impact Canadian temperance movements had on the enactment of prohibition in Canada. By looking at multiple temperance organizations in different provinces the paper will argue that Canadian prohibition was able to be codified due to, in part, the efforts made by those in the temperance movement. The paper will begin by examining the relationship between early temperance movements and the enactment of the Canada Temperance Act or Dunkin Act of 1864. It will then address the Canada Temperance Act or Scott Act of 1878 and how the conditions in Canada changed to allow for a new type of prohibition to be enacted, one which allowed municipalities to opt-in to prohibition by plebiscite. The paper will also focus…
