One distinction of the american infantry during the revolutionary war era was its use of Volley Fire.

Volley Fire is a military tactice developed with the advent of rifles and guns in the 16-17th Century.

In this tactic, a line of riflemen fire together and while they reload their weapons, another line of soldiers fire their weapons.

This is done to ensure constant firing, to make up for lost time in reloading and make up for missed shots.

The aim is to consistently be on the offensive.

It is most closely associated with the Dutch forces but was used by American forces against the British.

hjlf

There were not just one event, but many important ones that sparked the independence of women and with that, a modern era of societal values.

By the 1920's, post World War I occurrence open opportunities for young American women. For instance, The Flapper was a new fashion with some natural elegance. Women wore hats, waistless dresses a little bit above the knees, silk stockings and sleek fashion shoes.

Regarding labor, many work opportunities were created due to the industrial economy in factories, offices and new professions.

The 60's really catapulted feminism and a new set of values for women. The Federal Drug Administration approved the firts "Pill" for birth control(1960), President John F. Kennedy issued an executive order called "Commission on Status of Women"(1961), and the "Equal Pay Act"(1963).

In 1970, Title IX of Education Amendments prohibits discrimination in schools. In 1981, Sandra Day O'Connor was the first woman seated on the Supreme Court. In 1993, the Supreme Court rules that sexual harassment in the workplace was illegal.

And finally, in 2005, Condoleezza Rice was the first black woman Secretary of State, and in 2017, Hillary Rodham Clinton ran for the Presidency of the U.S.

Evaluate the extent to which the United States maintained Jefferson's vision for America (were "Jeffersonians" really Jeffersoni

N76 [4]

The United States adopted quite couple of Jefferson’s ideas.
One being his ideas on the Declaration of Independence; he felt it should be referenced and changed with every generation to keep up with the ever-changing needs of newer generations. This impacts our present day, and is why we have the Census every 10 years.
The second being The Ward System. The Ward System was created by Jefferson, and provided free school, the scholarship system, police, militia, and more. These are still implemented present day.

This is about the extent of my Jefferson history knowledge, hopefully this is enough to help you out!! (I am taking a Political Science class and learned this from it. All real information!)
