MY OPINION
It was hard for me to read. It jumped from future and past and the vocabulary was extremely advanced. Even when I consulted with my parents they had a hard time as well. I also had a hard time grasping that our founding fathers and their allies were so vicious.
Washington's Confession
- Washington learns manners
- brother marries a Ann Fairfax (rich family)
- French build forts and he is sent to send message
- disobeys orders and attacks French and his Indian allies brutally murder French
- signs a contract not knowing that it "confessed" to murder
Lafayette's Sword
If these things never happened the revolution might not have happened and we could still be ruled by a king or queen. We would have different customs, religions, and we would be taught different things in school.
Hannah's Escape
- insurgent group rebel against America (Shays's rebels)
- attack on Springfield armory
- 80% of the people fight against taxes
- Constitution was created to replace The Articles of Confederation
- Shays dies poor and even sold a famous ceremonial sword given to him by Lafayette.
"Isabella's Pigs"
- Native Americans invade Haverhill capturing Hannah Dustin
- Hannah escapes her captors by cutting off their heads
- Ann Hutchinson teaches people that it doesn't matter what you do you will still be saved by god
- Governor gets mad and kicks her out
Why I think it was written
- there were many wars over land
- Isabella becomes queen
- Columbus sets sail with a ship full of pigs, dogs, and horses on Isabella's demand
- other men come and get lost on many expeditions but never claim any land
