My Awesome 6 Word Story!!!
"Chat with me, End of you" by Jeremy Salinas, basically my story says it all that when these families where moving to the West they used to talk to random strangers to trade with. Some of these strangers kill them and just took their supplies so they end up winning. It also shows that even though they might have needed something real bad its worth to wait and get it from someone you can trust before something really bad happens. This can also be used today with kids who chat online with random stranger thinking they might be there friend. They meet them in person and the stranger could be a pedophile and rape you than kill you. This is why we must be aware of people we talk to online and in person because these strangers could be dangerous.
Games/Learning as One
Games can actually teach you in many ways such as the Oregon Trail which actually shows you what a family went threw from this journey and how harsh they had it with barely money to survive. Other games can describe you stories from greek mythology of gods like in God of War which I knew who Poseidon was cause of that game which is the God of Sea. Call of Duty gives you a look of how life would be like in the army and shows different types of guns and calls in a team good for ROTC. They also give little computer games that helps you learn to spell words or teach you how to type faster on the computer.

The way of the Reconstruction
Reconstruction is basically an idea of bringing the North and the South together for which we can agree to after the Civil War. With this came Ammendments that gave more rights to black people such as the 15th ammendment which guarantees them the rights to vote. However in the South they still followed the Black Codes which restricted them for doing such things like voting. Black people were better of now than before the Civil War because now at least the Ammendments are giving them rights although the the South our oppose to the idea. It also affected black people because it shows them that their is compassion towards them and their trying to treat every man equal.
All for Amnesty!!!
Amnesty is basically forgiveness which I do personally think the South should get. The South needs forgiveness because people sometimes gets cheated and acuse of something they did not do such as a crime involving the race color of a man. Some black people get acuse of things they cant even belive such as if they hust a white guy for taking his property away for no reason. There is sometimes when people deserve a punishment for wrong doing but back in those days they went with what the white man says in court.

A Speech inspired by Col. Chamberlain
I think he was right and confident about his speech because he was telling reasons to the soldiers that you joined for a reason and thats for protecting each other and their country. Even if they were outmatched they still had a moral idea of not giving up and going after in what they each believe in such as to kill for fun to killing for respect. Col. Chamberlain is an honorable soldier therefore giving faith to the soldiers into believing that they might win a war with just a moral idea.
Thoreau's short and blunt "quote"
"that government is best which governs least" is basically telling you that when the government is not involve with economics or other benefits for our needs as much, they are a good government. In my case I disagree with him because I think the more they get involve the more chances of us getting a better choice like raising taxes or raising medical care. We need to have these people as involve as possible so they could all give their opinions and come to a conclusion for our own benefit because they know what their doing better than any of us could try.
Revealing Secrets!!!
Countries should leave out pieces of history if they want to look like the tough guy. They sometimes dont like to tell parts of the stories that makes them look bad so they leave that out and tells us all the great things they do did for us. If they decide to be honest with us than they should teach us all of that dark secrets they keep leaving out from us. These stories that they tell us might not be as true as they say but I do strongly believe that they should continue as such just so that we look big otherwise people would not quite like the losing side.
Does History Matter???
History is a need for all to learn from even though there events that occured from the past. It matters to us yet in ways hard to describe for example, Some of us wonder how did America came to be, where thier other kinds of people who lived here before us. These are question that we could never be answer if history did not matter. Also history gives you knowledge from mistake from the past that can benefit in the future such as slavery,and womens right which were a huge mistake that we corrected. It matters so much that with out history people would have never known how they were to come.
