The Battle of Little Bighorn
I will be presenting The Battle of Little Bighorn. This battle was a very huge loss for the U.S Army, and I believe this was caused by poor communication and bad planning. Rather than thinking things through first, and getting facts straight, Generals went straight into battle not knowing how many enemies they faced. A gold rush in 1875 on land in Montana where many Native Americans Lived. They (the U.S) tried to buy it from them but they demanded too much money. So, in response, the Army attacked in order to take over the land.

The presentation focuses more on the U.S side and the tragedy of our loss. Below there is a great documentary showing the view of Chief Crazy Horse, which is one of many views. This will provide a good look at how the Native Americans recall the battle and their standpoint

This had an impact on the nation because it showed us how we could easily be defeated, and how we should handle situations like this more efficiently so that we avoid losing so many lives.

The National League of Baseball
Thesis: The National League of baseball paved the way for future sports and American society. It was considered America's national past time, and because of its place in society, it still is.

It all began when America had just 37 states. At this time, the President was Ulysses S. Grant. The National League of Professional Baseball Clubs, known simply as the National League(NL), was founded on February 2, 1876. It was made to replace the National Association of Professional Baseball Players, and is sometimes referred to as the Senior Circuit.

Presentation Overview: William Hulbert, a Chicago businessman and an officer of the Chicago White- Stockings, is given much credit as one of the minds behind the foundation of the National league. He wanted to make a competitive and entertaining experience for players and fans. It was a league for the best of the best.

Just two months later, on April 22, 1876, the Boston Red Caps would square off against the Philadelphia Athletics in front of 3,000 people at Jefferson Street Grounds in the first game in National League history. Baseball would soon become prevalent in American society, which eventually led to the sport being referred to as, “ America’s National Past- time”. This proved to be true for the next, and still going,135 years of its existence.

Soon after its foundation, other leagues tried to become just as successful. Two other upstart leagues, at that time, were the Union Association and the Players’ League. They failed to meet the standards of the National League, which caused them both to break down after just one season. The success of the national league is seen everyday through modern baseball.
