Unit one #7 "A well ordered family"
Benjamin Wadsworth, A Well-Ordered Family(Boston, 1712).
The passage was about Marriage In the colonies, How to treat your spouse. It talked about how you should love your husband/wife indefinitly. If they wernt young or beautiful enough it shouldnt matter you should still love them.
The part that surprised me the most was the paragraph about how the husband should govern the wife, for it was his job. his government should be gentle and paitent, and the wife's obedience ready and cheerful."The husband is the head of the woman. It belongs to the head to rule and govern. Wives are part of the house and family, and ought to be under the husband's government"
From then to now, Of course life is diffrent. I consider this to be a silly question.

Use proper grammar, capitalization, etc. Give your post an appropriate title. After you publish your post, notify Mrs. Siegmund so she can grade it and award your points. *20 possible points.
America is known as the place that anyone can succeed in life, where anyone and everyone is equal. Sometimes referred to as "The Melting Pot" America is known for its diversity. In a way we are all Immigrants. People flock to the U.S. seeking freedom and to escape economic depression, people will leave there family and friends just to come here. I have no clue what its like to live in a country in which I have no voice in. I am truly lucky that I was born an American citizen. If I was in a position that made me want to leave my country of origin, I would probably move to Canada. I like there health care system a lot.
