I want to show you guys a link to a bio of my favorite president, Theodore Roosevelt. He went to Harvard, he was a cowboy, he led the Rough Riders during the Spanish-American War, he created the National Parks, and, of course, he became the 26th president of the United States. He still holds the record as the youngest person to ever become president at age 42. And lets not forget the time someone tried to assassinate him before he spoke in Milwaukee, with only his glasses case saving him from certain death, and still continued with the speech!

I have another really informative website for you guys to look into. This time it is about the history of the political parties. More specifically, who the founders were, why they were formed, and what each party's views on how to run the country was. The most notably figures in the history of the political parties are Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton. The primary difference between them is that Hamilton wanted a large central government lead by the wealthy and educated, while Jefferson wanted a small government that was enforced by the people, particularly the farmers. That is just a little bit of information from the site, there is much more to learn.

Hey guys! I found a great website that will teach you more about American History. This website teaches you all about the American Revolution. It has a timeline that shows you all of the major events throughout the revolution, including what started the revolution, what events transpired during the revolution, and how the revolution ended. It also teaches you about the important figures that were apart of the American Revolution. Some of them I'm sure you already know, but others you probably don't know, and it would be interesting to learn about.
