So let’s keep it simple this week.  In a blog post teach me something about someone, something, or some event from 19th Century United States history.  One rule, I can’t know anything about the person, object, or event.  Teach me something new

Lets hope that you don’t know this but on Eventually wars started between China, Britain and France. (1839-1842, 1856) Those war changed a lot for them which reshaped the history for them. In the 1840s England was given as one section of Hong Kong which on July 1, 1997. Chinese laborers of the 19th Century promoted use of opium in the western United States when they were imported to build the railroads. So that is just a little about the subject.

Interpret the following quote:
“Do great leaders make history? Or does history make great leaders?”
Which do you believe?

I think that leaders make great history and history makes great leaders so I think that it is a little bit of both. Because if you have a really good leader then they could make history and a leader can look back on history and then what they got from that could make them a great leader also so I am not shure on which on I would agree with.

Choose someone that you believe is a great leader and describe three leadership characteristics the person has, and examples of when and how that characteristic was used to lead.

A great leader that I would have to choose would be Barrack Obama and three leadership characteristics would be that he is courageous, he wont back down and he will stand up for what he believes is right. He is courageous because he is always wondering about what is gong to happen to the world and the economy. He wont back down because he is the president and he can give up and he just has to deal with it and work with it. Lastly he will believe in what is right because he has to help everyone and lead them in the right direction and by doing that he can.

The chery tree story is tru. The story is that George Washington chopped down his fathers cherry tree when he was a child. It is true because he just got that new hatchet and he wanted to try it out so he chopped down the cherry tree. His father sees the tree cut i half and asks George, “did you cut down my cherry tree”. George replied “I can not tell a lie I cut down your cherry tree”.
