Young Resistance


It was the 1940s in Germany, and a group of young people could not stand by and witness the holocaust!  They mobilized in Munich, and informed Germans through the press.  They named themselves the White Rose!  They wrote pamphlets telling the people of Germany what was happening!  They sadly paid with their lives and were caught in their conquest! 


They were caught by their janitor at their school who threw their pamphlets over the balcony!

This story is a great reminder that young people can make  a difference, and how often do young people stand up against evil?





Happy Thanksgiving!

First Political Parties


One must know the federalist and the anti-Federalist.  It all began ratifying the constitution, and then once that was done the debate/conflict turned into our first political parties!  


Here is a great site showing the debate of the Federalist and Anti-Federalist:


I would know these Federalist Papers

LBJ


Rob Reiner and Woody Harrelson made a movie about LBJ - President Lyndon B. Johnson.  It is FANTASTIC!  This depiction of LBJ was heart breaking!  You see a human side to this controversial president!  The film depicts LBJ's political career before JFK's assassination in the Senate, and after.  It was fascinating!  This man knew how to work the Legislative Branch!  In one scene he said he could speak their (Congress) language.   Go see this film!
