George Washington is an extraordinary student who puts others well being first instead of him. In the last four years George Washington has shown major improvement. He has exceed all the expectations a student should have and is set to have a bright future ahead of him. He is an excellent leader and has been class president and student body president for the last 4 years. Hes has shown leadership and is against any sort of bulling. George has 4.5 GPA becoming the smartest student here. He's very mature for his age and is very respectable when it comes to any student or staff member here. He values the safety of his companions. He shows an interest in history about America and hopes to become a politician. He is very talented at planing events or assignments and making sure they go as plan. I feel he will make a very great student at the univesity and being attention towards it.

Sincerely,
Sofia Ramirez

Founding Brothers went over many issues during the time period of the American Revolution. In chapter one (the Duel) Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr are having conflicts with one another. Those conflicts lead to the Duel on July 11, 1804. The two rode across the Hudson River (pg. 20) to Weehawken, New Jersey where Hamilton was killed by Burr. In the Dinner Jefferson invited Madison and Hamilton to his house to talk about Hamilton's proposal about Financial Plan of Assumption (pg. 49-50) and in hope that "...wine and gentlemanly conversations" would help ease tension. Resulting in the Assumption and Residence bill being passed. In the chapter "the Silence" they discuss the ruling problem of slavery. Slavery was being supported by the bible and constitution (pg.85) resulting more people to believe that slavery was something normal since god described it to be fine. Congress did believe that slavery was inhuman but didn't think to fix it then. Then two Quakers take a petition to congress to end slavery which every southern representative shot down right that instant, which caused the idea to never pass through. In "the Farewell" Washington is retiring do to illness. Which was seen as a symbol for a time of change. But it also caused the congress to stress about who was going to be the next president. In Friendship/Collaborators it talks about Jefferson and Adams running for president. On how the disliked each other because of the tension in this debate but then how they became President and Vice-President together.

Jefferson was the one to slowly establish the Republican Party. They favored State control rather than centralized power. James Madison helped draft the constitution. He also was one of the founders of the Federalist party. Federalist favored a strong centralized government. Hamilton was the apprentice of Washington. Hamilton showed his desire for a strong government which later made him the leader of the Federalist Party. Washington was not in a party. He favored neutrality but usually leaned to the Federalist side which caused problems in the south.

Everything in the book happened during the Revolutionary period. The duel against Burr and Hamilton did happen July 11, 1804. Thomas Jefferson Dinner was during June 20, 1790. The Slavery petition actually took place. As did Washington's farewell address. This dove deeper into the history of these events with the thought of everyone's perspective. Also with cited evidence to make to help this become as clearer for people.

“Men who have been intimate all their lives cross the street to avoid meeting, and turn their heads another way, lest they should be obliged to touch hats.” - Thomas Jefferson (pg. 186): As the Republican party formed to combat the Federalist party, men who had once been bound by the spirit of '76 found themselves defined by more immediate party concerns.

I chose this photo of Weehawken, New Jersey since its where the "duel" took place.
The duel was between Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton. Burr ended up giving Hamilton a fatal shot. That shot ended up ruining Burr reputation. He fled soon later.

I chose this picture since the setting does take place in the 13 colonies. And those 13 colonies represent the beginning of the United States of America. They are the root to our history. They are also referenced a lot in the book.

I chose this because it reminded me how we always got back up on our feet, always ready to fight the British. How we will go over any mountains just to have our own freedom. Then the volume is calm as if preparing for a fight; and as the volume gets louder the battle gets fiercer and deadlier. At the end of the battle we mourn for the dead but avenge them in the next battle.
