Now that we have won the war against the British, we need to change some of the problems we have.   One of these problems is the problem of equality.  We said that we were not being treated equally compared to the British.  We are doing the same thing to people such as the African Americans.  The African Americans are made slaves and given very unequal rights.  Do you think this is fair?  This is exactly how we were being treated by the British, isn't it why we wanted to seperate.  So do we have the rights to treat them like this.  If we were to change problems in this country, equality would be on the top.  We need a law that bans slavery from happening.   Also, we need to have a government.  I think that this government should be something that the people can be a part of.  Remember how one thing we didn't like about the British government was how we couldn't be a part of it.  Why then, should we treat our citizens to that same thing we wanted to get rid of?  If we are going to be a country and our citizens are going to trust our government, they need to get a say in it.  Lastly, we need to get money or make our own money.  We need our citizens to think we are trustworthy.  While we were fighting the war, we said we would pay the soldiers once the war was over.  We need to do that so the citizens will trust us.  I think we should invent our own money and give a certain amount to every family.  Then we could give the people who fought some extra for their payment, and families of dead soldiers could get a little extra also.  This would give us a type of money and also make people trust us.

Tue, 07 Dec 2010 14:19:00 -0800 What About the Women? http://sarahb517.posterous.com/what-about-the-women http://sarahb517.posterous.com/what-about-the-women

Option ll:

I think that women should be able to get better jobs.  By saying this I mean that women should be able to get better paying jobs.  The women normally stayed at home and had household work.  If their husband died in war what would they do.  I think that women would have an easy time owning shops and it would earn them much money.  Women would also be good teachers.  I think that women could set up small schools to earn a living.  I think that women would be good teachers because for the most part they are patient.  When lots of women sit around all day at home with mostly housework to do it could get really boring.  Therefore, I think that women would like it a bit more to be teaching rather than doing housework.  Yes, some people may think it would be boring, but wouldn't it be more exciting than laundry and such.  I also think that they could be secretary sort of people because generally speaking women's handwriting is better than mens.

Tue, 07 Dec 2010 14:17:00 -0800 Journal Entry #1: Lexington and Concord http://sarahb517.posterous.com/journal-entry-1-lexington-and-concord http://sarahb517.posterous.com/journal-entry-1-lexington-and-concord

Part 1:

Watching the Revolutionary War start has been a pain.  Looking at the moment I think that the British have a better chance of winning.  We all know that winter will come and our soldiers don't have the best clothing.  Our soldiers have to wear patched up uniforms.  Most of the uniforms have millions of patches in them.  When winter comes I'm sure many of our soldiers will have no shoes.  Just socks or bandage wrapped feet.  It will make it easy to track bloddy soldiers.  Our weapons are few.  Yes, we may know how to shoot a gun, but we don't shoot people on a regular basis.  Plus, we have little ammunition.  It will be hard to win a fight without enough gun powder.  Finally, their soldiers are trained to do this, but we have more people.  Their soldiers are paid professionals.  This is their job and they have been trained to do it.  Our soldiers are mostly volunteers.  That makes them not the best at fighting the highly trained.

Part 2:

Watching the beginning of this war is hard and a bit scary.  People may not be coming back.  I must say that I'm scared but at the same time excited and hopeful.  People fighting against the British is the scary part.  They are so well trained and so well provided.  When winter comes it would be no surprise for us if our soldiers get frost-bitten or freeze to death.  The British though will probably have it easy with their providers back in Britian giving them warm clothes, tents, blankets, and such.  But, I'm excited the British control over the colonies has been horrible.  They tax every single thing we buy.  Tea, sugar, and stamps, you need a stamp on every single piece of paper you use.  It is so frustrating.  I will be so happy if we win.  That means no more of those evil taxes.  Plus, I have heard that the people will vote.  I'm just very hopeful that we will win.  It will be like a dream come true for our country, to live and be our own country.  Everybody would be so happy.
