I read a small biography on Joseph McCarthy. Joseph McCarthy was born into a Roman Catholic family.  He left school at the age of 14 and then began working as a chicken farmer before managing a grocery store in the nearby town called Manawa. McCarthy wanted to become run as a Democrat canditate, but failed and then became a Republican candidate to become a circuit court judge. McCarthy played a dirty campaign. He falsely that his oppenent was 73 when he was actually 66. McCarthy joined the Marines in WWII and then afterwards while running for senate he claimed he had been through 32 missions when all he did was desk work and only flew in training exercises. 

From reading this I learned that McCarthy is a bad man. My mom would not like him at all and she probaly didn't like it either. McCarthy was a big liar pants and was not liked by very many people.

Puritan Plain Style: A fire and brimstone sermon by Rev. Wallace

If those sinners don't change their ways they way they will have a terrible fate. They don't believe God can destroy them within a second. We are all just insects to him and he is the  bully with the magnifiying glass. If it was me as God, no one would get any second chances with all the sick sins everyone is commiting. God will do the same to sinners as he did to Sodom and Gomorrah. These wicked sinners will have wished they were at Sodom and Gomorrah than suffering through hell's terrible wrath. And in the end Satan will have to suffer with all those he corrupts. Revelation 14:10. And he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone, in the presence of the holy angels. A lake which burns with fire and brimstone, Revelation 21:8. And shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.

They All Played a Part. Squanto

Without Squanto the pilgrims may not be alive today. Squanto was able to speak english in which he was able to help the Pilgrims. Squanto is most credited for teaching the Pilgrims how to use the land to grow food and catch fish. Squanto had an effective method to grown corn by placing fish into the soil with the seeds, it acted as a very good fertilizer. Now Squanto didn't laern english by choice really, he was forced to in a way. Squanto was part of the Patuxet tribe. Around 1605 to 1610 some white men had came on a trading ship. Squanto spent some time with them, learning their language and helping them deal with other Tribes. They men in return treated him well and even gave him clothes to wear. When the traders were leaving, they invited Squanto tag along with them back to England. After a while Squanto became homesick and wanted to go home. According to some accounts the man he was living with Charles Robbins asked John Smith to take him with him on his voyage. when they got to American Squanto acted as a translater and soon Smith gave him permission to travel home. Squanto was tricked into boarding another ship with some 20 other young indians and was taken to Spain where he was sold into slavery. Around 1619 Squanto made it back to America. Without these events in Squanto's life he would not of been able to the Pilgrims. And who knows there might not of been a United States without Squanto.

Journals of Discovery #1

The Relacion was about of a man called Cabeza de Vaca and his men who travelled and ended up being stranded on an Island. At first the Native Americans surrounded them not knowing what they would do. The Spaniards gave them gifts and such. And the natives gave the Spaniards food and furs in return.  The natives took care of the foreigners . And the Spaniards kept their respect for them, but they still called them savages. When the men were starving and all wet, the Natives Americans carried out a system to bring the men to their village. Their were fires set every now and then to wear the natives would carry the Spaniards to the fire, let them warm up and then travel further to the next stations until they reached their village. In this journal it showed that Native Americans on this island wanted to have a good relationship with the Spaniards.
