I choose the civil war. If the confederate won then we would still have slavery. Black people would not be free. Some people would not be able to go to school and learn. There would be a lot more people in this contrey. We couldn't be friends with some of our friends. There would not be marten Luther king day. A lot of people would die.there would be a lot of sadness. Our veterans would not be able to fight. I am very greatful for veterans.

If men and women were not willing to fight for our country it would be bad. We wouldnt get the freedom that we deserve in the United States. One of the big wars was the slavery war a group of people thought that slavery was right. Another huge amount didnt think that slavery was right. They fought for a while. At the end the people that thought that slavery was ok lost the battle. There became no slavery. If this war event had not taken place then there would be some really bad things happening. There would be slavery in to many places it would have never stoped. We are happy that we fought this war. This is one of the things we needed these strong men and women for. They have done so much other work but its hard to list it all. We thank all these wonderful people that fight for our right and freedom.

If soldiers were not willing to fight for our freedom we would be dead. Because the mean people would kill us for believing differently. There would still be slavery if the civil war was still going on or hadn't taken place. Life would not be good if slavery was still happening . I don't think it would be fair to own people . Abraham Lincoln stopped slavery. He believed that black people should have the same rights as white people. One of the rights is being able to vote. Nobody would have the rights we have today if soldiers did not fight for our freedom.

One major conflict in our country's history was World War II.Life would have been different if this that conflict never took place.Many lives of men and women would have been saved.Cities and countries like Great Britain would have never been ruined.Also money would have been saved instead of using it for supplies,weapons,and rebuilding cities.The world would have been at peace for that time period.Jews would have been treated with fair respect as other people.Every country in the world would be together as an alliance.The world would never have to to invent explosive weapons.So overall life would have been different without this conflict.

I am choosing World War II as my conflict to describe how my life would be different. If the brave men and women had not chose to fight for our country's freedom my life would be very different. I think I would not have my own land to play on. I think it is possible I would not even be alive now. It is possible that had we lost the war that three of my great grandfathers who fought and lived through the war could have been killed. Also I would not have the option of a good education. I would not have the freedom to have a pet to play with. I might even be a slave and not live in what is called the United States. I think if we had lost the war even the kinds of food that we eat now could be different. I think if we had not fought and won the war we would not have a country. Thank you veterans.

I think that life would be extremely different if we were not given our freedom. Men and women risk their lives everyday for our country's freedom. Without them I don't think we would live in peace. A good example of this is when America fought in World War 2. Many men risked their lives fighting for the World War. This led the the end of the Great Depression. I think it is very brave of these men and women to fight for our country everyday. Our lives wouldn't be the same. We are very grateful and thankful for all that they do for us. I am proud to live in America, and have such amazing soldiers protecting our country.

My life would be way different. I might be a slave or under rule of someone. If the world war not to had happen. The country would not be free and there would be many slaves. If slavery had happen many people wouldn't have they have today. I might not have the beautiful house I have. There might not be cars.We still have laws but we thankfully don't have to be ruled by someone. Without the help of our armed forces the world would be different. I'm thankful we have veterans and how they sacrifice everything for someone they don't know. I am glad we have veterans. I am glad we have freedom.HAPPY VETERANS DAY !

One time there was a guy named Osama Bin Laden. He was a mean guy. He killed a lot of people. A lot of those people were very innocent. There was no reason for the plane crash. There is two things about this story. One that I like and one that I don't. One that I like is that our military caught Osama Bin Laden. One thing that I don't like is he killed some workers in a building who did nothing. Something very important is our military. If we didn't have our military then who would of stopped Osama Bin Laden. Another thing is if they didn't stop Osama Bin Laden he would have killed a lot more people. Our military serves and protects our country. Hooray!

My life would be different if people weren't willing to fight for their country.I would be in danger of being hurt. life would be hard. I might of been a slave working for a different country.I wouldn't have any freedom. There would be different laws. There might have been unfair laws too.The community would be different too. There might have been different rules about driving,school,construction,and business /services. Life would be different without you. THANK YOU!

I think the United States would be different in many ways without the Civil War. For example, there would possibly be two different countries. If they didn’t fight, one country would have slaves and the other one wouldn’t. Also if there were two countries there would be two governments and leaders. If we had not fought in the Civil War, the shape of the states could be different or there might not even be any states. Even the armies would be different. If the United States was divided into two their armies would be smaller and weaker. So if their trying to fight another country for land they might possibly lose. And if they lose in a battle for land it would totally change maps and geography. I’m thankful for the Civil War because without it our country would not be the country it is today.

If soilders weren't in Iraq right now fighting to keep us safe our lives would be really different. They fight for our freedom.We have a lot of freedom and we get to choose our careers.For example in China they are forced to do the careers that the goverment tells them to do.We get to choose whaat our religions.Some people don't get to do that in other countries.Soliders also fight to keep us safe.Some countries have a lot of wars going on, but in the United States we don't have bombs going off.If we lived in other countries we might live in fear.The soldiers in Iraq are helping that government learn to be more like the United States.They are there to make us feel safe and give us freedom.

My major conflict is african american abuse. Life back then would have been horrible. I could not imagine owning a slave. It would probably be only white no black people allowed signs everywhere. People would be so miserable. The only people who would be happy are the whites who own slaves. Back then this rule might not have been invented but today it has. The golden rule is treat others how you want to be treated. That would have been my favorite rule back then. I would have called the cops if they would have helped. Back then it is possible the cops had slaves. I think it was a cruel time back then. I absolutely despise the fact that people were okay with this and willing to die so that slavery could go on. I think it should have been the other way round. People willing to die to release slaves. Unfortunately some people were like that.

My life could be different because some of my friends could be slaves.A conflict in history is when we had to pay taxes a lot in great Britan.If that did not happen then we might have just discovered north america.We might not have freedom in our country.There might still be slaves were we would live.we might have never left and stayed in great Britan.We might have a new more unfair king and would have just discovered North America.we could still dis treat some humans.we could be pushed around in great Britan and not be here.Have a nice day and look forward to next weeks Gabe bloging news!

If the men and women in our country didn't fight for our freedom then we wouldn't be free. If we were not free then we would be forced to do things we don't want to do.

If people had not been willing to fight for our freedom we could still have slavery. I might have been a slave with no freedom at all . During the Civil War people from the North fought against people from the South to help end slavery. If this had never happened some people might still be forced to be slaves. If I was a slave my life would be very different. I would have no freedom. I would be told what to do. I would have to do a lot of hard work and I might not be treated very nicely. I would have nothing of my own and no right to anything. This would be a miserable life. I am so grateful and proud of the people who fought for our freedom!
