Ann Marbury Hutchinson

Ann Marbury Hutchinson lived from July 1591 to August/September 1643.










Francis Marbury was her father. He was a minister of the Church of England. He is the one that influenced her the most.








Later on in her life, she moved from England to the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1634 in search of religious freedom.









These are some of the laws the colonists had to follow when they went to the Massachusetts Bay Colony.










Ann Marbury Hutchinson later lead Bible studies at the Massachusetts Bay Colony, where she was later exiled for "false teachings" of the Puritan religion.










After Ann Marbury Hutchinson, there were other women that did what she did and were exiled like she was. Seen here is Mary Dyer.







These women later inspired other women to push for women's rights including voting rights.













To this day, she is remembered for her work toward freedom of religion, freedom of assembly, women's rights, and challenging injustice within the Puritan religion.

For this project I will prove that the Dixmont Corner Church is the oldest church in Dixmont and that Dixmont has a lot of history, especially since it is a 200 year old town.

All Quiet On The Western Front

War is a nasty, graphical, and brutal thing. It claims many men that have little or nothing to do with the cause their country has set before them as they have to fight for the country they live in and have to deal with hardships everyday. This was true during World War I because many of the soldiers (on either side) had to deal with the poor living conditions of living in rat and disease infested trenches where many of them would die and they had to deal with not having the proper supplies, such as food and boots, and would often have to get the supplies through various means such as getting the boots from a soldier that had lost his leg during a battle as in the case with Franz Kemmerich that was in the movie, All Quiet On The Western Front. Even today our soldiers have to deal with some of the same issues that soldiers had to deal with then. With everything said here about how war is, I would have to say that war should be a last resort to fixing a problem and should only be done if absolutely necessary.

The Legacy of Columbus

Samuel Eliot Morison

"One only wishes that the Admiral might have been afforded the sense of fulfillment that would have come from foreseeing all that flowed from his discoveries; ..."

Bartolome de Las Casas

"Their other frighting weapon after the horses: twenty hunting greyhounds."

"Columbus Day, never on Native America's list of favorite holidays, became somewhat tolerable as its significance diminished to little more than a good shopping day."

The Columbian Exchange

"The culinary life we owe Columbus is a progressive dinner in which the whole human race takes part but no one need leave home to sample all the courses." -Raymond Sokolov

The Columbian Exchange

And to the new found shores, many more would come,

At the outset for treasure, and later for rum.

While those staying home in the Old World nations

Were thrilled, indeed, by these explorations.

Like a sudden sunburst, how their lives did change:

Dinner menus, for one, did it re-arrange.

As ships back to Europe were laden with goods:

Like tomatoes and corn, and potatoes and wood.

Of course, trading back then was still filled with danger,

With the seas deadly rought and pirates no stranger.

-- But one thing is certain: Spanish sailors were daring

In the Age of Exploring and of brave sea-faring.

And what a marvel it was, what a change of pace,

To hear of new peoples and discover new tastes.

Like pineapples and turkeys and the cocoanut frond,

Indeed, goodies galore did now cross “the pond.”

With peppers and spices and tortillas and beans

Soon filling the plates of hungry Europeans.

And while trying new foods and learning new ways

Is not always easy, it adds dash to one’s days.

While oranges, lemons and stalks of sugar cane,

All made their way west-ward from the ports of Spain.

Soon after came horses, came cattle and wine

To shape how the New World would travel and dine.

And The Columbian Exchange, as this became known,

Brought chocolate as well to those Old World homes.

-- It’s a wonder to think and a fright to ponder:

What folks did for a snack before chocolate came yonder?

Response to "A Slaves Journey"

The following paragraph has to do with the following statement:

Slaves were treated as products, not as people.


This statement is true because the slaves during the slave trade that happened from the 1450's to through the 1800's. The slaves were first captured, usually with some type of net, and then taken to a place where they would be processed. Then they would strip them naked and chain them up. After that they would load them up on a ship, where most of them would die of some type of illness. This is also where they would be whipped, thrown off the boat into shark infested water, or even shot. With knowing all of this, you would to agree that slaves were treated as products, not as people.
