History

boyakko [2]3 years ago

Desmond Doss, a World War II medic of the 77th Army Division, served at Hacksaw Ridge on Okinawa, a small island off the coast of Japan. The first conscientious objector to win the Medal of Honor, Doss had a strong faith in God and reverence for the Bible as well as the Ten Commandments. While he didn’t carry a gun into battle, Doss was never unarmed. He carried with him his Bible and his undying faith.

Doss believed he should preserve life rather than take life based upon his personal application of the Sixth Commandment, therefore he chose not to carry a gun in combat. Because of his belief in the Sabbath and his desire to worship God, Doss did not work on the seventh day of the week—Saturday (Exodus 20:8-11). However, he picked up extra duties and worked long hours the rest of the week to make up for it.

Which texan leader was most in favor of annexation by the united states
Oxana [17]

While we can name many characters that were important in the process of annexing Texas to the United States, the name that stands out is Samuel Houston.

When the US Congress voted for the annexation of Texas at the end of February 1845, Mexico suspended its diplomatic relations with the US Union, warning that the annexation of Texas would be considered an act of war.

In Texas two political groups would be formed: a small portion, partisan of Texas independence, whose most important representatives were Anson Jones and Ashbel Smith; The other, more numerous and popular, was headed by Samuel Houston and was in favor of annexation to the United States.
