The women in the civil war wanted to be treated the same as men, they wanted fair rights.

Since the women wanted to be treated and have the same rights as men they went as far as looking like a man so they can join the civil war.
Not all women were like this though, yeah they might want to have the same rights but not all women presented themselves to look like a man so they would be treated differently (in a good way).

One of the laws was that women could not be soldiers but guess what?
They were.
The women found a way to look like a man and be accepted into the war.

Looking at the picture below here is one of the women that made herself look like a guy just to join the war.

The Battle of Shiloh is one of the top 3 early battles of the civil war,
the battle of Shiloh is known to be one of the bloodiest battles in the early war.

The war had started on April 7th, 1862 and lasted two whole days!
They had more than 23,000 people dead or badly hurt.
Did you know that the word Shiloh means peace?
Well there is a lot of different translations but the one that stood out to me the most would most likely be the word peace because that would make sense why they were fighting.

I wanted to talk about what kind of weapons that was used durning the civil war and I found out that there was a ton of firearms, handguns, and they even used swords and knifes and to add on to that there was also grenades and landmines.
Speaking of guns and weapons, what was the deadliest or most powerful one used?
I found a link that shows what weapons were used in the civil war and ive added it to my padlet so if you want to know more you can look into it, but I found out that the Gatling gun it worked by turning the hand crank that rotated the barrels. It could be used by one soldier, but it when used by two

When the Civil War started in 1861, there wasn't a huge selection of weapons used other than canons, rifles, and swords (mainly for command). This was before airplanes, tanks, and advanced boats, so the weapons produced were those created for on the ground soldiers.

Springfield Model 1861 Rifle

This was the most popular gun during the Civil War. The Springfield was a .58 caliber with a 40-inch long barrel. It was loaded through the tip of the barrel with gun powder to shoot a Minié ball. An experienced soldier could shoot up to 3 rounds per minute at an aimed distance of 500 yards. In 1861, it cost about $20 to produce one (that's about $570.70 in today's equivalent).

Because Confederate and Union soldiers were not highly trained on this rifle nor in proper marksmanship, they fired and reloaded in a line at the same time to maintain accuracy and focused firing. Roughly a million of these were produced during the Civil War.

Henry Repeating Rifle

Similar to the rifle above, the Henry Repeating Rifle can shoot 2-4 shots per minute and has 16 shots in one magazine. Rather than manually filling the rifle with gun powder and bullets, it used a single bullet and black powder encased in a single metallic cylinder, like bullets today. It uses a lever-action system to fire bullets repeatedly.

It later became the gun that "won the west." Click to see the more advances gun in action:

Model 1840 Cavalry Saber

Swords like these were more of a status symbol than a weapon. Sure, it could be used if needed, but soldiers died more often from rifle shots and cannon blasts than from swords.

Bayonet

The bayonet wasn't used very often during the Civil War. In fact, it was used to kill only about 1 percent of soldiers. With the advancement of weapons such as the rifle and cannon, it didn't prove itself effective in most battles.

LeMat Pistol

This is the most lethal handgun of the Civil war. It was a .42 caliber and could hold 9 bullets at once. The LeMat was actually two guns in one because it could fire a single shotgun round with a flip of the switch on the side. It was a heavy gun and not the best for carrying, but it still was a deadly weapon during the Civil War.

Model 1857 12-Pounder "Napoleon" Gun

Named after Napoleon III of France, this gun - more like a cannon - was a muzzle-loaded smoothbore gun that fired 12-pound rounds. It could shoot up to 4 shots per minute. It was used by both sides during the war and could shoot solid metal shots, explosive shells, and grape and canister rounds with a range of 1,619 yards (or 16 football fields). The barrel was 66 inches long and the entire cannon (wheels included) weighed 2,350 pounds - that's the weight of a small car.

Gatling Gun

Although it wasn't used much, it's considered to be the most lethal gun in the Civil War. It was a .58 caliber, six-barrel gun that worked by turning the hand crank that rotated the barrels. It could be used by one soldier, but it was at its best when used by two - one to crank and aim while the other loaded more bullets at the top. It could shoot up to 600 rounds a minute.

The Battle of Middle Creek was a tragic example of the fratricidal, neighbor-against-neighbor warfare that characterized the struggle for Kentucky. Read about the history of this battle, see reenactments, and the preservation of this site.

I think this was a very informational book because it shows how much barefoot learned from escaping like how they learned to live in the swamp and how they formed a group called the Maroons, they were just so independent it was amazing.

An even better part of this book was that is had pictures so you had a visual of whats going on, if you didnt already know by what the words said the pictures made more sense of it.
I even saw that they used the animals to help with the barefoots escape which was pretty cool.

The Purpose of slavery, Why did it happen?

Slavery was just a way to get other people to do your dirty work without paying them, and to add on to that people chose back people not the people with the same color as them.

Slaves were treated poorly and the worst part of slavery was that they were owned by the white people, they werent doing favors for the white, but were owned by them for the slaves to do their hideous work as one might say.

Even when slaves ran away the white wouldn´t care for their saftey and health but the fact that they didn´t have anyone to do their work for them. The white people that owned slaves and that ran away would put out
¨Runaway Slave posters.¨ (which I will include a photo of)
The Posters were rasist and offensive towards the slaves that had ran away not all of them were bad but atleast all of the posters had something that could be described as rasist or offensive.

I would 100% be in the prison reformation because I care for phycial and mental health. Plus even if they are prisoners they should be treated like normal people or atleast be treated how they treat you I think?

Atleast if you give respect, you should be respected.
I´ve included a slide show explaining more about my opinon.

Did you know that women's rights only started in 1848 but before then it was socially acceptable to treat women with less respect than men or just no respect at all.

Back then Men were seen more superior and stronger than the but they showed the Men that they can be strong and superior, there should not be any first place or second place it should be equal.
I felt that the only reason the Men tried to prove that they were either stronger, better, more superior is because that they felt emasculated, scared even that we could take over and be the better kind but heres the thing Women, Men, they are still human so why can they just be equal.

It really shouldn't be hard.

I see that this painting is called "The way of good & evil" it seems as if this painting has been split into two halfs the left side shows words of how you would be going to hell and it also shows a path to fire, some punishments as for one there is a man being hanged on the left side.

Moving to the right side, I can see that there is words again that will lead you into a good path to heaven and at the top of the path is angles plus a book which im thinking may be the bible.
In the very middle of this painting there is a chruch and people coming out of it, I see after they come out of the chruch the pick a path by the actions that they commit.

Did you know that in different years morse code was used for different things?
Like for example in 1851 a telegraph was first used in train dispatching, 1858 the first morse code translator was made but it ended up only working for 24 days but after those 24 it failed.
There was also in 1860 where automatic repeaters were first used to extend the length over which telegraph lines could operate.

Do you know when morse code was first used?
The first message sent in morse code (dots and dashes) took place on the day of May 24th, 1844.
The picture at the bottom shows the ABC'S in morse code there are also numbers aswell.

P.s. when there wasn't and app or something to translate it for you it must've been really hard. Also i've played a game that has morse code in it but i didnt understand it but my friend Isabelle P I wouldn't say that Im jealous that she undersatnd this but maybe one day it will be very useful to her.

Life for the woman of the west was not some easy task you had to be strong, tough, smart, and many more to make sure you survive. Being a women of the west you need to be prepared for a lot like how lonely it can be or even if something goes wrong you need to know how to fix it, women and men were basically ranked the men were  first class while the women were second class citizens, they weren't treated as well as the men was.
I've added a video to sum up what ive said.

Now that I learned that this painting is titled Manifest Destiny I think this woman might represent the war, the land that was bought. She also could've represented how Mexico gave up the land but had some bought from them so they wouldn't have a worse war.

Manifest destiny led to a war between Mexico and The United States. Although if they hadn't had that war I dont think we would have a lot of power and land, we might have even been closer with Mexico if there wasn't a war.
