an African American man and a former first lady.

The two nominees for the 2008 presidential race were Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

For the first time ever, an African American and a woman were a possibility as a presidential candidate. Regardless of who won the nomination it would be a historic moment as neither a black man or a woman had been a presidential candidate for a major party. Barack Obama was an Illinois congressmen and rose to prominence quickly with his ability to reach many groups. Hillary Clinton is the wife of Bill Clinton, the 42nd president.

Why did many americans blame britain for their problems?
AVprozaik [17]
<span>Many Americans believed that their economy was being purposefully harmed by British action. Added to this they felt that the British threatened their expansion into the west as forts on US land attempted to support and be at peace with Native Americans.

The word to fill in the blank:  MILITIAS

George Washington's letter was addressed to John Hancock, who was then the President of the Second Continental Congress.  (Yes, the John Hancock who is famous for the size of his signature on the Declaration of Independence.)  Washington's letter advocated the importance of a regular army of trained troops, rather than dependence on militias of men called out of their regular, daily life into short-term military service.  

In the letter, dated September <u>25</u>, 1776, Washington wrote (with spellings as he used): "To place any dependance upon Militia, is, assuredly, resting upon a broken staff. Men just dragged from the tender Scenes of domestick life—unaccustomed to the din of Arms—totally unacquainted with every kind of Military skill, which being followed by a want of Confidence in themselves when opposed to Troops regularly traind—disciplined, and appointed—superior in knowledge, & superior in Arms, makes them timid, and ready to fly from their own Shadows."

Washington also added:  " To bring men to a proper degree of Subordination is not the work of a day—a Month— or even a year—and unhappily for us, and the cause we are Ingaged in, the little discipline I have been labouring to establish in the Army under my immediate Command, is in a manner done away by having such a mixture of Troops as have been called together within these few Months."
