Lesson before Dying? I read that book. It was Grant. There are several examples in the book. It really is a good read!

Abe's invention of the phony greenbacks the American public rejected! He got half dozen stamp engravers to design them trying to come up with a way to pay for the civil war! The public resented the whole premise and his act really did not free the slaves rather enslaved the working public by greenbacks now know as U.S. dollar!Yes i know Andrew Johnson was on his way out and Grant won the 1868 election!

read the Jefferson papers. He wrote the Articals of confederation before he wrote the Constitution. He also was a avaid sponser of the secant amendent. He was a active member of the first contintal congress. and amny other things. He was one of the greatest men in the begining of our nation.

No. Thomas Jefferson was the author of the Declaration of Independence not the Constitution of the United States

Thomas Jefferson is my political hero so it's not surprising that I agree wholeheartedly. Interestingly, one of Jefferson's contemporaries in Great Britain made a similar quotation which happens to be a personal favourite of mine. His name was Edmund Burke and this is what he said:\n\n"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."\n\nSee the similarity? Basically, the message is the same and it's particularly relevant today. If good men and women of conscience are unwilling to stand up and be counted, to speak out or to take action when necessary, then the villains win. Of course it's easier and safer to remain silent like sheep in the fold, but is the easy and safe way always best? I hardly think so. Sometimes you have to make a stand, take up a cause or vote with your feet. And some causes are quite literally worth fighting and dying for. If others who came before us hadn't thought so and demonstrated that belief at the cost of their own lives, where would we be now?

*Chuckling for I learned something here* Thomas Jefferson has no middle name, and neither did 16 other US Presidents.\n\nSee the link for more info...

...I haven't time now to look up quotes, but I know on this web site.  Mr. Barton has done oodles of research on the founders.  I strongly urge you to check this site out - and you could spend hours on it.  We bought several of his tapes, and they are very good.\n...His findings would certainly annoy the ACLU, Americans United for the Separation of Church and State, and others who wish to cloud and/or revise history and rob us of our heritage.\nhttp://www.wallbuilders.com/

I think the messy business of the European colonization of the American Continents is pretty much common knowledge.  Who, exactly, are you trying to incite then?  Is it the millions of North & South Americans who now lead comfortable, modern lives, or the two or three other people -- like yourself -- stuck in 1492?  Besides, people are solid believers in something that was made 'by man', but they are also free to choose not to believe, or to not be 'solid' believers.  Let it go, no one appriciates the people like you who have mistaken this service as a soapbox (though your ranting does help make the rest of us feel better about ourselves, so thanks for that public service) ;)

Where do you get your information that the settlers were stealing from Indian graves?  And if this is true, you're putting way to bad of a slant on it.  The settlers of Massachusetts were a very religious group that would just steal unless it was a matter of survival more than likely.  What would you do for your family in a life and death situation?  Don't taint our country's history by making the settlers at Plymouth sound like a group of selfish and careless people.  Their first winter was very difficult, and they had to learn how to live all over again.  As for teaching this to elementary students, I think they would be a little young to understand the whole truth.  An older group of students would be able to grasp the details better and know that nothing was malicious in their acts, whatever their acts may have been.  Regardless of the truth, it should be told.  The truth shouldn't be twisted, but made to be understood.  Obviously there are adults out there that can't grasp the meaning behind some things either.

Awesome...for the points, I'll take them! And the in the election of 1800, a tie between two men of the same party--Jefferson and Bur--resulted. The 12th amendment made it so the electors vote twice, specifying which man they voted for president and which they voted for vice president.\n\nThanks and have a nice day!

For starters, write in plain English, without substituting numbers for letters and using proper grammar. If you ask me, you should know what to write about the Federalist papers if you're in AP US History, but maybe I'm just fooling myself. 2 pages seems like a bit much for such a short letter.\n\nIf you don't have it already, there's a text for these papers at http://www.yale.edu/lawweb/avalon/federal/fed10.htm\n\nWhat is this project? A summary? An analysis? If it's a summary, then you have your work cut out for you. Summarize each paragraph, as easy as that. If you're doing an analysis, think of what factors might have caused Madison to publish this paper and why he wrote what he did. Try to gauge the impact that the papers had on society and the atmosphere of the time.\n\nAnd use Wikipedia. Like mad.

That was a very heated discussion as they were writing it.  Thomas Jefferson (the writer) was forced by other Virginians to take out several passages where the freedom of the slaves would be brought into question.  AT THE TIME - the slave owners thought of the slaves as less than human (3/5ths of a human to be exact).  So yes, the final document was a bit hypocritical in hindsight, but not in their point of view.

Try perusing the Federalist Papers for an argument for it or finding his notes from the Constitutional Convention (probably at a college library). Good luck!

Check your history textbook, I'm sure there will be a section on it, elsewise your teacher probably wouldn't have assigned the question (unless it was in notes that you missed, weren't paying attention to, or were too busy writing notes to your friends.\n\nHint:  in the back of your textbook there should be an index.  Look up Jefferson, and possibily, neutrality.  Heck, if you can't find it then, look it up on google.\n\nBut for heaven's sake.  Do your own homework!  Do you think WE get any benefit from this?  Your homework and research practices will benefit you.  But they can't and won't unless YOU do them!

Thomas Paine wrote "Common Sense" I believe. That is probably the writing they are referring to. Just go to the library and look up works by the 3 authors. I'd skip the nigeria guy. I would scan the writings, stick post-it notes to the relevant sections. For the introduction I would take one of the exerpts from one of the three books and try to relate it to current events. "Common Sense" would be a great one, because in my opinion, society today has very little of it, and proof can be seen in the many ridiculous lawsuits brought to our courts today.\n\nGood luck with your paper!
