The new notebook will be started Wednesday. On Wednesday we will talk about the debt that Sullivan Ballou mentioned. The debt from the Revolution to free our country from a King. Then to be bold and start a government by the people for the people. We did talk about how we will get the government we ask for. Further that the wisdom you gain as students will only make the institution better if we use that wisdom for democracy.
Please keep up with you notes from Ch. 15. The Glory packet should be downloaded or printed by you, and used in your notebook. I would like the Glory guide in some form be placed into the notebook 15. As I mentioned my family history to you, you heard I was going to make available the July 4th journal entries that my Great-Great Grandfather wrote. You should also read the letter he wrote to President Grant that in on our class timeline.[North wall] You also will see a version of the letter that we read in class, annotated, and saw at the end of Ken Burn's Civil War: Episode: The Cause. Please use this bookmark we wrote down to check for more information you might be interested in. Remember a war that was fought in over 10,000 places is really difficult to remember. It not easy to study and be able to see the crossroads that led to what became our American character in the 19th and 20th century, as Historian Shelby Foote mentions in his interview. This conflict nearly destroyed the United States of America. The 13/14 notebook will be Tuesday the 7th. Please send blog questions if you need to ask questions again.

Philosophie: Salon CenterEveryone of us is living history. We all have a story to tell and the ancestors that came before us that carved a way for us to become a new member of civilization. We also are learning that we are all related genetically and culturally in the family of humanity. All people’s past becomes part of all of us, and will always be completely intertwined with the entire world community.
Author's NOTEFrom time to time we will have some ideas from words that give us wisdom about our world. Writers are some of the most insightful people that understand our modern and ancient world quite well. Feel free to read, think, comment on these ideas. It seems that some of the students would like to debate issues of government, economics, and history. This can be a forum for this idea. Also if you would like to do formal debates in class we need to prepare debate rule and procedures. This can be a start and then we can decide if we will proceed to bring the debates in class on topics we study. Please follow our classroom rules if you decided to write on the blog. Make sure that you ask questions, and be helpful, and mature in all your interactions. This can be a helpful way for you to share what you have learned and what you want to learn, or just share ideas. Also just submit an idea through an email, or web contact, and we can maybe add the idea. Send a picture with the suggestion for the classes. Thank you. Archives
