He told me that the song brought him childhood memories How did it feel to you? I felt really good because with playing the flute I managed to reach this friend’s mind and bring him back memories of his childhood. It was a great feeling. Review the ‘Flute Story’ in the eBook and provide your view on the importance of the find and how this ancient flute may have influenced modern instruments – 5 pts. The discovery on Dec 16 of the flute was a tremendous discovery to the development of modern instruments. This discovery gives people an idea nof the history of the flutes and how they are different in the past and now a days for example; now a days flutes are tuned. From the ‘Oral Tradition of One Heart’ (in eBook), complete the following – 2.5 pts. But they knew if we put our hearts together, then “great things can be accomplished.” With the truth that we are all equal regardless of color, nationality, “gender, ethnicity, language we speak, where we live, personal beliefs or how much money we have.” By recognizing that all people are equal is agreeing that “our hearts have the same significance.” The goal of One Heart is not to change who we are or our heritage, “but to enjoy the richness of one’s personal culture and respect all others the same.” Provide two examples of how this indigenous concept may have influenced contemporary cultural social practices in the United States: 1.The idea of one heart was promoted by the American Baptist minister and activist Martin Luther King, JR. 2.

    “The Causes of the Revolution
    The roots of the American Revolution can be traced to the year 1763 when British leaders began to tighten imperial reins. Once harmonious relations between Britain and the colonies became increasingly conflict-riven. Britain’s land policy prohibiting settlement in the West irritated colonists as did the arrival of British troops. The most serious problem was the need for money to support the empire.
    Attempts through the Sugar Act, the Stamp Act, and the Townshend Acts to raise money rather than control trade met with growing resistance in the colonies. Tensions increased further after Parliament passed the Coercive Acts and the First Continental Congress took the first steps toward independence from Britain. Before the colonies gained independence, they had to fight a long and bitter war.
    The Revolutionary War
    The British had many advantages in the war, including a large, well-trained army and navy and many Loyalists who supported the British Empire. But many white colonists were alienated by Lord Dunmore’s promise of freedom to slaves who joined the royal army, and were inspired by Thomas Paine’s Common Sense.
    Excellent leadership by George Washington; the aid of such European nations as France; and tactical errors by British commanders contributed to the American victory. British strategy called for crushing the rebellion in the North. Several times the British nearly defeated the Continental Army. But victories at Trenton and Princeton, N.J., in late 1776 and early 1777 restored patriot hopes, and victory at Saratoga, N.Y., which halted a British advance from Canada, led France to intervene on behalf of the rebels.
    In 1778, fighting shifted to the South. Britain succeeded in capturing Georgia and Charleston, S.C. and defeating an American army at Camden, S.C. But bands of patriots harassed loyalists and disrupted supply lines, and Britain failed to achieve control over the southern countryside before advancing northward to Yorktown, Va. In 1781, an American and French force defeated the British at Yorktown in the war’s last major battle.
    Consequences:
    1. About 7,200 Americans died in battle during the Revolution. Another 10,000 died from disease or exposure and about 8,500 died in British prisons.
    2. A quarter of the slaves in South Carolina and Georgia escaped from bondage during the Revolution. The Northern states outlawed slavery or adopted gradual emancipation plans.
    3. The states adopted written constitutions that guaranteed religious freedom, increased the legislature’s size and powers, made taxation more progressive, and reformed inheritance laws.” (DH, 2017)
