Bennett Place Examines Civil War Art and Journalism




In this article, they celebrate the 148th anniversary of the Civil War. Mainly, this article focuses on the greatest surrender at Bennett Place. Some people are drawing the war scene at Bennett Place and people were there to see the interesting celebration. This place, Bennett Place, is also known for the negotiation place for two generals who are Gen. Joseph E. Johnston and Gen. William T. Sherman. Through this negotiation war in some places ended and some confederate states surrendered.

I don't know if Korea is going to celebrate the war that we had about 50 years ago. I truly wish that we can just keep the war in our memory. I don't want to war happening in the world, especially in our country. (this sounds greedy)

‘This really was fate’: Relic hunter unites Civil War soldier’s ring with Pa. relatives



This article talks about the family’s treasure returning to the family. The treasure was found out to be a silver ring. It belonged to Levi Schlegel, a soldier who was sacrificed during the Civil War.
The son of Levi Schlegel used facebook to report that the owner of the ring was his father, and it was returned to the family safely.


Our US History class is doing a project of analyzing and writing the journals as if we were the real characters that involved in the wars. After reading this article I thought, we might have another work to do to make up a legacy or something that the descendants of the characters could remember the character.

Education is Women's Salvation

This article is written as a letter to public, written by Van Auken.
This woman wrote how desperate and thirsty for women to be educated.
She wants to have better education system for all people, especially advance in women's education.

The government should support the education, and should get rid of the stereo type that women shouldn't be educated. Especially in the middle east, there should be changes to the government laws in order to protect the women to have a safe education.

In America, the slaves and women weren't able to be educated. There are many people who had sacrificed to let women have education. The education definitely saved women, and thanks to them nowadays, many women have influence in this world.
