Tecumseh's Speech

        Tecumseh's speech has many themes but the two that are best represented are family, and brotherhood. Tecumseh shows the theme of brotherhood and family when he says "we must be united; we must smoke the same pipe; must fight each others battles." This shows great unity and "togetherness". The same qualities in which a family and brotherhood would abide. Tecumseh says "we are friends; we must assist each other to bear burdens." When he says "we are friends" he is trying to make make everyone come to since that they are brothers; family. They have the same battle, problem, and the only way they can overcome it is through brotherhood, and family. Tecumseh's speech best represents family and brotherhood.

         In the song " Hey Brother" the best represented theme is family. Throughout the song many verses directly portray the theme of family. For instance "there's nothing in this world i wouldn't do." Avicii is referring to if the world ended he would do everything in his power to save his family. This shows the role of family. The same theme that is shown in Tecumseh's speech. When Avivii says "I will help you out," he means that they are united as a family. Which is very similar to what Tecumseh says "we will fight each others battles." Tecumseh's speech and the song "Hey Brother" share the same theme of family.

Religion in early 1800s

The second great awakening was the powerful religious movement of the early 1800's. The movement started in the back country of Kentucky and Tennessee. Like the great awakening a 100 years earlier, it was an evangelical movement that affected the Protestants. A Christian religious movement is considered evangelical, when it includes:

1. the Christian bible is the final authority

2. salvation can only be achieved through the belief of Jesus

3. witnessing for Christ


Baptists

B - Biblical Authority - The Bible is the authority for the Baptist’s faith and practice.The Churches', or Pastor's, or denominations' teachings or traditions about the Word of God are not the guiding instruction for the churches' ministry or a person's life. Jesus rebuked the Pharisees in Matt for putting man made traditions on a higher level of honor to be followed than God's commands. Yet this happens in some denominations today.

A - Autonomy of the Local Church - In Revelation Christ is clearly seen as the head of the local church and He deals with each church separately and by himself not through a hierarchy of rulers or an association.
These scriptures along with many others dealing with individual local church matters. Therefore this is why Baptist churches should be independent Baptists churches free of all outside interference.

P - Priesthood of believers - Every child of God is a priest who is able to enter boldly to the throne of grace to God the Father.

T - Two church ordinances - There are two traditions the local church are to follow; baptism and the Lord's Supper.

Baptism by immersion is required of all who want to be disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ In Matt. We are shown that those being baptized were baptized in large amounts of water therefore Baptists don't sprinkle or baptize none believers such as children.Communion or the Lord's Supper is the churches' celebration of the crucifixion and return of the Lord

I - Individual Soul Liberty - This teaching shows that any person can worship God as they feel directed by the Word of God or their own fleshly desires. They must remember they are priests with their privilege and responsibility. They must realize that they will be held accountable by their wrong choice. Rom.

S - Separation of Church and State - Believers are to render unto the government the things it is given authority over but unto God the things due Him, therefore Baptists do not accept government funds or their interference.

T - Two Church offices - There are only the offices of Pastor and Deacons according to the Bible.Pastors shepherd the flock, They are sometimes called elder, bishop, overseer, or the minister of the church but they are names for the same person.Deacon are servants to take care of the things they can in order to relieve the demands for the pastors time so they can pray and study more.

S - Saved membership -Members of a Baptist church must have received Jesus Christ as their Savior.Salvation is not by works or sacraments but only by trusting Christ as one' Savior.

Methodist

The Methodists believe:

God is all-knowing, possesses infinite love and goodness, is all-powerful, and the creator of all things.

God has always existed and will always continue to exist.

God is three person one, the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit.

God is the master of all creation and humans are meant to live in a holy covenant with him. Humans have broken this covenant by their sins, and can only be forgiven if they truly have faith in the love and saving grace of Jesus Christ

Jesus was God on Earth (conceived of a virgin), in the form of a man who was crucified for the sins of all people, and who was physically resurrected to bring them the hope of eternal life.

A Letter home from the west

                                                                                                                                              Cole Conlon
                                                                                                                                       12 California St.
                                                                                                                                  Gold rush city, 3901
                                                                                                                                            May 10, 1848


Dear mom and dad,
     California has been quite crazy. I came here in hopes of striking it rich, but the gold rush is no longer the reason I am still here. I met a girl here and I hope to settle down with her. However myself alone has panned four ounces of gold in just the last week. I plan to send back a portion of the gold collected to you guys. Be sure to tell everyone else I said hi.  I bet yall are wondering about my journey here, now let me tell you it was as wild as the west.
     Along my journey I met so many knew people and learned so many new things. My wagon train broke down but lucky for me I met a wagon mechanic. It was only a minor fix. Anyways as he was fixing my wagon, he told me a story about George Donner. Aperantly this guy George Donner's wagon broke down in the middle of the Sierra Nevada Nevada during the winter. People eventually found him but when they did, they discovered he ate his family to survive. Hearing that gave me the chills down my back, and made me that much more thankful for meeting someone who could fix my wagon as fast as Dave.
     Life here is hard and much more expensive. I personally feel that salesmen are taking advantage of the vulnerable workers. They are selling shovels for eight dollars, back home I could one for four dollars; here the cost of living is doubled. There must be five fights a day just in my community alone, tensions are rising as the gold rush begins to slow. Living here isn't all that bad though, it does have it perks, it almost never gets below sixty-five degrees. You should see the beaches, there nothing like the ones back in Massachusetts.
     I plan to head back home to you guys and settle down with my soon to be wife. Once the gold rush is no longer productive ill be coming home with all my earnings. So far I have made twelve-thousand dollars. That's enough to buy you guys a new home, who knows, maybe we'll all settle down out here. I miss you guys so much, I hope to so you soon. For now farewell I love you all, see you soon.

                                                                                       Love,
                                                                                            Cole

Election Day

     National elections in the United States dates, are set by federal law and not by the constitution. Federal Elections are always on the Tuesday following the first Monday of November of every even numbered year. Why Tuesday? In the 1800's under an early federal law, the electors for the electoral college were to meet in the individual states on the first Wednesday of December. And according to a 1792 federal law, the elections in the states had to be held within a 34-day period before that day. So rather than having every sate having a different election in November, some one came up with the idea or a national election day. Today some states recognize election day as a civic holiday, in other words states require that workers be permitted to take time off from employment without loss of pay. Today, Delaware, Hawaii, Kentucky, Montana, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, and West Virginia all recognize election day as a national holiday.

The true national anthem

1. Oh say can you see the beauty of the morning light.

2. What so proudly we honored by the night sky shinning

3. Whose big and bright flag through the scary flight

4. O'er the bombs we watched where so happily flying

5. And the rockets red shine the bombs blowing up in mid air, gave evidence through the night that our flag didn't move. Oh say does that star shine banner yet wave. O'er the land of the people, and the home of the fierce.

The Real Louis and Clark
 I give Louis and Clark a lot of credit especially when it comes to making maps, because making maps is a pain. I did not enjoy making the map, it was very hard getting everything to scale. It would be extremely hard to keep a detailed journal of all the places you've been, especially in Louis and Clarks time. I would enjoy exploring but defiantly not writing everything down. 

Compromises

  Great compromise

- The great compromise was a compromise between small states and large states during the 1787 constitutional convention. It was an agreement on how each state would get equal representation in congress. The smaller states wanted as equal say in congress as the larger states. Finally they reached an agreement after Roger Sherman proposed the great compromise. Each state big or small would get to send one senate to congress, and the amount of representation would be proportional to the states population. Which later brought up another compromise known as the Three-Fifths compromise.

 Three-Fifths compromise

-The three fifths compromise was a compromise between delegates of the southern states and northern states. In 1787 at the constitutional convention the southern and northern states were trying to decide whether slaves would be counted for a total population, which determined the amount of representatives that each state was allowed to send to congress. With much debate between the north and south, finally James Madison proposed the idea of the Three-Fifths compromise. In this compromise the northern states and southern states decided that three-fifths of the slaves population would be included in the total sates population, and would be used to determine the number of representatives.

The break-up T-Jeff vs King Georgy

Thomas Jefferson:  Look I’ve had enough of your crap. 

King George:  What did I do?  What crap are you talking about?

Thomas Jefferson:  First the Stamp Act, when you taxed all our printed goods, then, The Tea Act, when you taxed all the tea.  You know we all drink a lot of tea.  Third, the Boston Massacre when you shot my friends.  It’s out right to do this and I don’t have to explain any of this to you.  But, looking at just those three points, you can’t blame us for wanting to break apart from you.

King George: Come on, give me another chance.  I can change.

Thomas Jefferson:  Oh really, you already turned away my Olive Branch Petition asking you for time to rethink our decisions and we started our own Congress to discuss your intolerable acts.  You took neither of these appeals seriously.  You didn’t even consider our Olive Branch Petition.

I speak for all true American Colonists.  We are leaving.                                       

King George:  Well, I shall not allow this; and you can expect a full on war.

Thomas Jefferson:  It is our right to declare independence from you.  We shall be ready and we shall win your war.

French and Indian War

     The French and Indian War took place in 1754. The war was fought between French colonies and British colonies . At the start of the war the British colonies had a population of two-million people where as the French had only a population of sixty-thousand. That meant the French had to rely on there allies the Indians. The war started when both sides could not come to an agreement on who should control the rivers and bays conflicts expanded as the war continued to grow. The main reason the war started was trade routes and who controlled them. At the end of the war the British conquered almost all of the french colonies land, and what little land the french had left they sold to the Spanish colonies. As a result of the war, the colonists lost respect for Britian's army and the French lost almost all of there land.
