13th and 14th amendments

The 13th amendment ended slavery and involuntary servitude except as punishment for a crime. This is one of the three civil war amendments. This amendment was proposed by congress on January 31, 1865. It was ratified December 6, 1865. Some mandatory services that are not forbid by this are jury duty and service in the armed forces. This amendment was made during a time when slavery was common; it was more common in the southern areas. Slavery and involuntary servitude (except for punishment for a crime) is still illegal today.

The 14th amendment is also called the equal rights amendment. The main part of this amendment defined citizenship.  You can be a citizen by being born on US soil or applying to be a citizen. This amendment also talks about the due process of law, meaning that all people are the same and should be treated fairly under the law. It also talks about being a representative you must be male, 21 or up any race excluding non-taxed Indians. Former slave owners cannot be reimbursed for the loss of slaves. This law also says that you cannot have laws for a separate race of people, and revokes the 3/5th amendment.

The western world began to think that people of darker skin had less intelligence, and this made them lesser than the white world. After that began darker skinned people were thought of as slaves, stupid, and below everyone. This ideal was made by westerners in the time that they began to colonize the new world. Mexicans were also thought of as lesser for the skin color they inherited. Not only did major slavery exist in the main world, but western civilization was the cause of a huge genocide.

In cheer-leading you have to teach the new girls how to do all the cheers and chants. There were a few people that were teaching the new girls, and I was one of them. The main way we teach them is to separate the cheers into different smaller section. You show them the small section until they get it. Then you watch them; correct them, and then move on to the next thing. The best way to learn something is to be able to do it yourself.
