Prior Experience with U.S. History

 

History is such an interesting subject! It's fascinating to learn about our history, and how we still continue to see things from then today. I have taken many history classes, but not much has been retained. I remember clearly about Harriet Tubman, the Jim Crow Laws, the 13th amendment and other subjects, but I cannot remember all the details. I love to learn new things and do my own research to find out more about them. 

Even though, History has always been a subject that has caught my attention, I don't know to much about it.  I love to learn about our history, and everything that has happened here in the U.S. The Reconstruction Era was a little bit difficult for me to understand. I understand about the 13th amendment and how it abolished slavery, and even then, they were not treated equally. The part I was confused about the Judicial, Executive branch and the Legislative branches. Since I learned English in fifth grade, all subjects have been difficult to understand; when it gets to vocabulary. I have learned to use context clues and understand the material much better now; however, it continues to be a struggle. I believe what I have to do is, read more about the three branches until I completely understand it!
