Coca-Cola Advertisement
This is a good advertisement because it shows a
polar bear which lives in the arctic holding a
Coke with the title Always Cool. It means that
a polar bear couldnt hold it if it wasnt cool!

  Advertiser because it shows how the event not
  only had a huge effect on the people of the east
  coast, but also those on the other side of the
  country

Womens Suffrage Advertisement

• I believe this advertisement is a good
  example of womens suffrage. It is usually up to
  the man to choose construction materials. This
  article encourages women to make their own
  decision on construction work.

Fiddle Tunes of the Old Frontier

• Cabin Creek
• Cabin Creek, from which this three-part
  tune takes its name, is a creek that flows into
  the Kanawha River above Charleston, West
  Virginia. It was the site of a famous strike in
  the annals of West Virginia coal, but this tune
  may evoke the creek generally rather than the
  battles fought there. It is of that variety of
  tune, popular in West Virginia, which begins at
  the top of the tune's compass and cascades
  downward by degrees--like a creek, one might
  think. Another name for this tune is "Barlow
  Knife," and it is often played under that title
  as a banjo piece with some associated lyrics.
  Henry Reed said he learned this tune from Mr.
  Underwood, who had moved from Franklin County to
  Monroe County, and described it as an old
  Franklin County piece.

  1903.

James Madison

• I chose this political cartoon about the
  Embargo Act as an important event in President
  Madisons life because trade disputes became one
  of his first concerns after taking office in 1808.

  There is only one room, there are
• no windows, and the opening in the top would let
  in the cold air. Also you would
• have to cook and use the facilities outside.

October 12

• A sailor on board the Pinta sighted land early in
  the morning of October 12, 1492, and a new era of
  European exploration and expansion began. The
  next day, the 90 crew members of Christopher
  Columbus's three-ship fleet ventured onto the
  Bahamian island of Guanahaní, ending a voyage
  begun nearly ten weeks earlier in Palos, Spain.
