"Letter from a Birmingham Jail [King, Jr.]" 16 April 1963 My Dear Fellow Clergymen: While confined here in the Birmingham city jail, I came across your recent statement calling my present activities "unwise and untimely." Seldom do I pause to answer criticism of my work and ideas. If I sought to answer all the criticisms that cross my desk, my secretaries would have little time for anything other than such correspondence in the course of the day, and I would have no time for constructive work. But since I feel that you are men of genuine good will and that your criticisms are sincerely set forth, I want to try to answer your statement in what I hope will be patient and reasonable terms.

In 1941 he became the first person on his family?s side to graduate high school. James began to study engineering at Georgia Southwestern Junior College, but had later joined the Naval ROTC program and continued to study engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology.

Patrick Connolly Mr. Campbell Honors American History 27 January 2013 Reconstruction or Restoration? Directly following the Civil War, there were many questions left unanswered. Supposedly the North had won, and it was up to the remaining leaders to decide: what to do about the rebel leaders, what to do about the seceded states, and what to do about the freed slaves. A lot of those questions were answered during the period of ?reconstruction,? but the process of figuring those things out was a very shaky one. To reconstruct is to ?construct again,? or ?rebuild.? It can also be argued that this period following the Civil War was a time of restoration (the bringing back or reinstating) of the South to its previous state.

Patrick Connolly Mr. Campbell Honors American History 28 November 2012 President Jackson: Dictator or Democrat? For the entire duration of John Quincy Adams? presidency, Americans were itching for someone new. They needed someone rough and tough who could serve as not just a president, but as a national hero. Jackson was the perfect candidate for the job, standing tall and mighty over America with a face that was testament to all the many battles and duels he had endured. Having technically won the popular vote in the 1824 election, which was supposedly ?corrupt,? there was virtually no competition for Jackson in the 1828 election. While John Quincy did run again, Jackson won by a landslide with the electoral vote being 68% for Jackson to a mere 32% vote for Adams.
