boston massacre
in 1765, parliament passed the quartering act, requiring the colonies to provide housing for 10,000 british soldiers. a year later, two regiments of redcoats, as british soldiers were sometimes called because of their uniforms, arrived in boston. the people maintained an uneasy peace with the redcoats until march 5, 1770, when an unruly mob taunted some soldiers. the soldiers opened fire, killing three bostonians; two more later died of their wounds. calm followed for the next two years, but the basic conflict had not been resolved.
samuel adams, one of the most radical patriots, began calling the incident the boston massacre. for several years, patriots cited this incident as an example of british brutality. -
nathan hale
in the autumn of 1776, a 21-year-old schoolteacher named nathan hale volunteered to be a spy to investigate british troop strength in new york city. hale was discovered by the british and taken prisoner. since he was not in uniform, he didn't need to be considered a prisoner of war-so he was hanged. hale's last words, recorded by a bystander, served as an inspiring motto for patriots:
"i regret that i have but one life to give for my country." -
nat turner
he was born a slave on a virginia plantation. he i was a devout christian, and he preached his visions of freedom to other slaves. in 1831, turner led a group of slaves in a rebellion against local white landowners. fifty-five whites were killed, including turner's master, joseph travis, and travis's family. a militia caught the gang and hanged about 15 slaves. both pro- and anti-slavery forces saw turner's rebellion as a reason to fight for their causes. this and other uprisings led state leaders to toughen their slave codes, laws that prohibited educating slaves and restricted their movement from place to place.

robert edward lee
regarded as the best officer in the u.s. army, lee symbolized the conflict faced by many, lee had mixed feelings about slavery. though he never publicly spoke against it, he considered it a "moral and political but also felt it was a necessary lesson to civilize the slaves. he opposed secession, however, and so president lincoln offered him command of the union armies in 1861. but when virginia joined the confederacy, lee turned down the offer and accepted a commission in the confederate army. he said,
"i cannot raise my hand against my birthplace, my home, my children." -
corn flakes
in the 1880s, dr. john kellogg, operator of a sanatorium in battle creek, michigan, developed a ready-to-eat cereal he named corn flakes. the nation's first instant breakfast," packaged by his brother w. k. kellogg, was an instant success. the kelloggs soon had competition from charles w. post, a former patient at the sanatorium, who began to market a very similar product under the name post toasties. the conflict became known as the "cereal wars." both the post and kellogg companies survived to become major corporations that still make cereal today.

theodore roosevelt
theodore roosevelt was born to a wealthy new york family that traced its roots back to the dutch colonial era. weak and sickly as a boy, he became devoted to physical fitness as a man.
after serving as police commissioner of new york city, assistant secretary of the navy, and hero of the spanish american war, he became governor of new york. in 1900, republican leaders nominated him to run for vice president-usually an unimportant position-with presidential candidate mckinley, to keep him quiet.
roosevelt was an active and popular president, and at 42, the youngest man to serve in the office. he said the presidency provided a "bully pulpit" that allowed him to air his views, using his personality to force the government to take responsibility. senator la follette may have summed him up best by saying that "roosevelt made reform respectable in the united states."
