Van Gogh is in my opinion one of the most talented, and skilled artists of all time. His perspective is real, and he has his own style. I also love the way that he uses mostly curved lines, instead of strait and boring ones. His technique is unique and exciting, using bold colors where they might not normally be.

Netflix movie review-Americas Godly Heritage

America's Biblical Heritage

America has always been based on Christianity, at least as long as their has been an America. Numerous historical documents have several quotes of the Bible. George Washington himself, said that our government will fail without Christianity. Although that has not yet happened, it soon will if it's not introduced back into our government.

Some people say that the founding fathers wanted separation of church and state. Well they never actually said that in fact they said almost the opposite, in many important documents. Rules in the public schools say that students can't do things like pray at lunch, or discuss religious subjects. The government has even gone so far as to say that schools can't hang up the ten commandments, because they might follow them. Things like thou shalt not steal, or thou shalt not kill! I predict that our country's government will fall apart if we don't get it together.

I watched the above movie called - Americas Godly Heritage and used some of the information from that movie to write this article.

Little Sorrel

Little Sorrel

Little Sorrel, one of the most famous horses of the war belonged to one of the most famous Confederate generals. Stonewall Jackson, originally looking for a gallant war horse found a horse named Big Sorrel. But unfortunately Big Sorrel didn't cope well with loud noises, and was hard to handle. Jackson found hope though in Little Sorrel, a horse bought for his wife.

Little Sorrel was not the typical dazzling war horse. He was small and sort of chunky. But Jackson loved him for his strength and easy handling. Little Sorrel was a loyal, loving companion that barely left his master's side.

When Stonewall met his demise in the Civil war, Little Sorrel ran off. He was later found and sent to his wife, Marry Anna. He was later sent to Jackson's old military institute (VMI). Where he was "stuffed" and put on display, were you can still visit him to this day.

Who is Mona Lisa?

The Mona Lisa, one of the most famous paintings in history also has one of the biggest mysteries in history. Who is Mona Lisa?Over the years people have made a few guesses.

* Lisa Di Gherardini, this is a very educated guess, she was 26 at the time, and had recently lost a baby, that would explain the dark mourning clothes and the veil.

* Pacifica Brandano

* Isabella Sforza

* some even say it's Leonardo's (the painter) mother

* some go as far as to say it was Leonardo's self portrait of him as a young girl!

* a few say shes to beautiful to be a person and is just an imaginary woman

Christopher Columbus day

Christopher Columbus Day

Should Christopher Columbus have a holiday after him? I guess that's an opinion. Well my opinion is that he should not, he did not even set-foot on American soil, but yet he has his own national day named after him?!?! This is my debate on whether Columbus should even be in the history books.

My first reason why Columbus should not take credit for discovering America is that he did not even touch our dirt. He never landed on America!

He was not even supposed to sail to American the fist place, let alone claim that he discovered it! He was aiming to find a quicker, cheaper water rout to their trading post in

Asia.

So, who actually discovered it? Well according to my research the Vikings did. In fact, it it was about 500 years before Columbus even set-out on his "journey".

To be clear, I don't think Columbus should be in the History lessons at school. He did not discover America!
