Hoorah for Historia!

[phantomdream]

Hey, I know that about only 4 people read this here LJ, but if you come across this entry I would really like your opinion!
What do you think are the top 10 most influential events in United States History I (which would mean from its discovery to 1865, the Reconstruction of the Civil War)? I could use some of your opinions! So far I have, in no

how come it can only go up until 1865? that's strange. i mean, so much happened influentially after then, it's not even funny... however,

i mean, obviously, you could put the war of 1812 in their with the british crap.

...how about when John Sullivan wrote the Manifest Destiny to explain the whole thing about American expansion across the US?

and in a way, the colonies weren't united until after the French and Indian War and after conflicts with Britain.

can't forget the Louisania Purchase!!

...i'm done thinking. :D

Don't forget, we all know it was Leif Erickson who discovered America. ;)

We know that, but do they? XD

PS - It can only go up to 1865 because, uh, that's US History 1. Duh, TG. XD

::snort!:: Ka, what would I do without your humor? (I'd be dead!) I'm surprised you remembered anything from History, all you did was draw and sleep nap. =P I'm gonna miss poking you to wake up!

O___O ::dies:: You're farther than my classes cause we have to strecth it out over an entire year... but i dunno. We're learning about presidencies now... ((yawn-BORING!))

><; I looked through my notes and couldn't really find anything that'd help you, A-Rae! But i did find the Battle of Ft. McHenry, which was during the War of 1812, which inspired Francis Scott Key to write the "Star Spangled Banner" which was an extra credit question on my test on friday and i was too stupid to remember! ::starts bashing head against desk:: That's the only reason that stood out- I'm useless. Well, have fun with your studying- if its even possible to do so! Tata

Our history teacher - the famed Dr. Trimble and his "note packets from hell" (no joke!) - sure did teach us a lot. And we only have class for half a year! Wowzers. He's so cool. XD

That's great, Ba! =P I don't think I use it (XD;) but I'm glad you remembered that now. Too bad you couldn't remember it for the test. But don't worry - I do that all the time. ^^; Especially since I have no memory to begin with. Wooza!

[alaina_brown]

u___u I'd be traumatized with a teacher who gave 'note packets from hell.' ;___; Packets are so annoying! They're little clumps of paper-ish-- i dunno. Evil! I have a History packet for homework and i'm gonna hw pass it. My last hw pass too...;___; I used them all on most of the packets i got so far...

::continues to bash head::
