List five purposes of the government.

List five purposes of the government.

Would you be willing to join a revolution if our government was not fulfilling the purposes of government you listed above? Why? Why not?

defense
national identity
representation
social welfare
infrastructure

No, I would not be willing to join the revolution becaouse you do not know what the war going to be about. You don't know when you going to die, or who you going to die in front of. You could die in frount of a family member and they might kill themself becouse u died in frount of them.

Childhood

This story is about a girl family was taken from her when she was young. It took place in South Carolina. The war that was going on around that time was the Revolutionary War. The girl did not know she was a slave till she was 6-years-old. She had a 2-year-old brother and other brothers and sisters that were older. The girl grandmother had three children, they all moved to St. Augustine. They did not get paid a lot of money on their job. But the people were getting paid a lot of money for separating the slave from their family. All they believe was they were going to get out of this one day, and god.

u.s. history #2 class work

Thousands of Europeans chose to move to the British colonies. Some for economic reasons and some for freedoms. If you decided to immigrate somewhere, would you move for economic reasons or for freedom?

I would move for freedom reason because some countries do not have the right to do what that want to do that have to go by rules. Their masters might kill them just because and so that mean they might not have any freedom at all. Why would you want to stay some where that do not have no freedom and when you know somewhere that do have freedom? I would not want to live some where that have a lot of killing and other things going on.

u.s history #1 question

What motivates immigrants to come to the United States (today)? Consider what they lose and what they can gain in your argument.

Some people might here that we have more freedom than they have. Some of the people might not have much food, water, clothing to where, they might not have a nice home with air or heat. When they here we have all that then that make them want to come to the United States. They might lose some of their family and friends but when they come to America then they may find another part of their family that they never seen and meet new friends. The may have a better home a better job than they had.
