Martha Washington, Slave Owner

Image
The world is a fickle place. We as humans tend to put people on pedestals and are unwilling to ever let them fall. Yet, what if everything we were taught in school was wrong? What if our heroes are not what we want them to be? In all honesty, it should be no surprise to us when those we treasure most of fall flat on their face, or that we learn a mistakes they made. To err is human. Take Martha Washington for example. She was the first first lady of the United States and the wife of President George Washington; she was also a slave owner.  When we think of Martha Washington we often think of a reserved and private woman, we also think of her freeing slaves. Yet, "great emancipation" is sometimes not what It seems. The Washington's lived a very comfortable life. After George passed on, it became well known that after the death of Martha his slaves would be freed. We know that, about two years before her death, Martha Washington freed those slaves.   Based on a...

Marbury vs Madison, the Case of Judicial Review

Image
Marbury vs Madison is one of the most important Supreme Court cases in American history. This is because it is the case that established judicial review. The idea of judicial review had been introduced in the Federalist Papers, but had not been officially in American law until John Marshall declared it to be so in his decision regarding this case. Marbury vs Madison was tried in 1803 but revolves around actions taken in 1801. This case had to do with what is now referred to as the midnight appointments. On the final few days of his Presidency John Adams made a few last minute appointments. Adams was a Federalist trying to make sure that Federalists still had power after he had left office. You see his successor, Thomas Jefferson, was a Democratic-Republican. Both parties had vastly different beliefs and Adams knew his party was at risk. He specifically filled these positions with peoples that were known to be very anti-Jeffersonian. After the transition of power was ...

The Grand Canyon

Image
The grand Canyon is one of those great wonders of the world. A majority of the world, and most Americans, make it a goal to see the beauty and splendor of the Grand Canyon at least once in their lives. The Canyon itself is 277 miles (446 km) long, up to 18 miles (29 km) wide, and gets to the depth of one mile (446 Km) deep. It is safe to say that this wonder is also fairly dangerous.  The Canyon has formed over two billion years, as what we know know as the Colorado River has cut through the earth. At the same time, the Colorado Plateau was uplifted (the tectonic plate rose) and helped create a deeper depth. Many geologists argue about when the Colorado River formed and began this process. Yet, the main argument is that the largest proponents of the Canyon began to be created five to six million years ago. The grand Canyon was designated a national monument in 1908. It became a National Park in 1919, making this its centennial year! The grand Canyon had become an American treas...
