We won the battle of 1812.

Andrew Jackson was a leader to the U.S during the war of 1812.

Royal navy was the British’s navy which was where the captured            U.S men went when they got captured during the war.

One good thing about the war is that the U.S or British didn’t lose         land.

Federal party is what we won as a result of the win.

1812 is when the battle started.

8600 British men died along with 15000 Americans.

1815 is when the war had officially ended.

24th of December in 1814 is when the peace treaty of Ghent was sighned.

First it started to rain, then we got soaked. After that we ran into the building, while the thunder and lightning lasted for hours.

Today, November 16,1776, Fort Washington has been seized by the British. Major General William Howe of the British army had been coordinating the attack since the defeat from the Continental Army led by Commander Chief General George Washington near White Plains. Heavy rains spoiled Major General William Howe’s planned second attack near the White Plains. The Americans were found to be fully entrenched at North Castle Heights. Howe’s goal was to see the complete removal of American troops from Manhattan. His attention then turned to Fort Washington.  Earlier on November 5, 1776 three British vessels passed over the river barricades in the Hudson an anchored. Major General Nathaniel Green, who was in charge of the fort, then notified George Washington about the current status. George Washington was in the process of sending his troops to Westchester county, and was much alarmed by the news. George Washington informed General Greene that it would be his decision to evacuate the fort if he needed to. During the night of November 14 thirty British float boats sailed up the river past Fort Washington undetected by the Americans. The British approached the fort in force in November fifteen. The British now have ship passage to the Hudson, better communication between the island and the country to the North, and now can be connected from Manhattan to Westchester county. There was fifty nine Americans killed, 96mwere wounded, and 2,837 were captured. On the British’s side there were 84 killed and 374 wounded. The battle of Fort Washington should be remembered because of all the lives and equiptment lost in the battle. The Americans are forced to retreat toward the Delewere River. Had the British carried out their threat to show  no quarter to the Americans it could have changed the course of the war and led to a British victory.

In 2017 I hope to see the Cowboys win more than they did in 2016. I also want them to win the super bowl, they should because they have Ezekiel Elliott, Dez Bryant, Dak Prescott , Jason Witten, and Cole Beasley.  Also I can’t wait for Nike to bring out a KD 10’s and Kyrie 3’s. Hopefully they will come out this year. I am so pumped for baseball, last year when I played I had a bad start because all I did was strike out. I’m better now. The Cavs should win against Golden State Warriors. Kyrie Irving should cross over Steph Curry. Hopefully all of those things would come true.

I learned a lot about the bombing of Pearl Harbor.  It took place on December 7, 1941 at 7:55 A.M on a Sunday morning. We dropped a nuclear bomb that only 2 have been dropped in the world on Japan and wiped it out.  2,343 men were killed, also 1,272 people were wounded, and 960 went missing that morning . Three of our ships were sunk with sleeping soldiers on board. The Japanese bombed the Pearl Harbor naval base and airplanes but the surrounding repair facilities,  surrounding area, the submarine base, and oil storage areas unharmed.
