The Time is Coming.....

Hello,

Your test is about 36 hours away and I hope very much that all of you have been studying. This test has very easy and very challeneging parts.  To ease your stress I have found a prayer for you, in hopes that it will lessen your stress.

Lord Jesus,
Being fully human, as well as fully divine,
you know the pressures and stress that I face right now.
I ask that you guide me as I take this test,
so that I may do my best.
Help me to use the knowledge I have gained,
in this class and all my classes
to build up your kingdom,
for the good of all people. Amen
David Bennett

I am here every step of the way with you.

Hello,

Below is a time-line of the Reconstruction Era.

Have a great day off!

Reconstruction Timeline

 Hello All,

A major theme of the reconstruction Era that I would want all of you to remember is that the country still had wounds that stayed around for a long time.

History is a subject that has a lot of inspiring topics and events, but also, sad ones.

The treatment of African Americans post Civil War was better, but still not very good.

Here is a great website that deals with African Americans after the Civil War

African American Odyssey

Reconstruction

Have a wonderful night and see you in the morning.

Any questions be sure to ask me during class!!

Extra help will be provided when asked!

Below is a quote from Mother Teresa. Quotes can tell us a lot about history. I hope you enjoy this one as much as I do!

"People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, People may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies; Succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank, People may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway. What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, They may be jealous; Be happy anyway. The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you've got anyway. You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God; It was never between you and them anyway."
Mother Teresa

Stop Manifesting and Try to Be Civil!

Good Evening Class,

Since we are behind the state curriculum we are going to be finishing up Manifest Destiny tomorrow and also start looking at the Civil War.....which happens to be one of my favorite times in U.S. History.

It may seem that we are jumping around 1800s a lot...it's because we are. I am only doing this so we can finish what you guys didn't complete last year. Not a big deal, but it must be done.

I'll be with you every step of the way.

Night!
-Mr.I

We had a very good lesson today! I decided to give you another picture that focuses on the Native American removal from their land. Try to focus on a couple of key points.

1. The person being buried.
2. The old woman crying.
3. The conditions of how they traveled.
4. Understand that they took everything that they own. 

Remember to complete your homework!
