Brady: I learned that Hamilton was an orphan. I learned that two of John Adams' kids died before adulthood. I learned Madison died of congestive heart failure. My question is was there a founding father who never wrote on any of the papers info, and only signed things.
Adalynn 3: I learned that George Washington graduate school at the age of 15. I also learned that Dolley Madison saved important things from the white house. I also learned that Alexander Hamilton created the first bank. 2: I wonder why there wasn't a pacific year when Alexander Hamilton was born. I also wonder why George Washington didn’t want to continue his term as a president. !:
1 Kenzie; I think Washington did not want to continue his term because he did not want it to turn into a dictatorship.
Sophia 3: I learned that George Washington finished formal school at the age of 15. I learned that John Jay went to college at the age of 14. The last thing I learned is that James Madison died of congestive heart failure. 2: I wonder why people don’t know what year Alexander Hamilton was born. I also wonder how John Adams and Thomas Jefferson ended up dying on the same day.
Noah:3 I learned that growing up Alexander Hamilton did not have any parents. I learned that George Washington had slaves. I also learned that John Jay was homeschooled. 2 I wonder why George Washington had slaves. I wonder why Alexander's father left him at a young age.
1: I think that Alexander Hamilton’s dad left him at a young age because Alexander’s dad and his mom weren't married when they had him so maybe the father started to not like the mother. (Adalynn)
Macie3: I learned that Benjamin Franklin invented the map of the gulf stream. I also learned that John Jay went to college at the age of 14. 2I learned that alexanders mom died when he was only 2 years old.I wonder how Alexander Hamiltons mother died.I also wonder why Alexander Hamilton like our national currency so much.
Kenzie:3 I learned that both Hamilton and his wife were orphans, John Adams had 6 kids but only 4 made it to adulthood, and Franklin only went to school until he was ten then taught himself. 2 I wonder why Franklin's school ended so early and why Jefferon is the main writer of the declaration of independence when there were 6 people who helped to write it. I think that Ben Franklin stopped going to school because his parents couldn’t afford it anymore.. (Liv ) I think he dropped out of school because he had enough learning. -Payton
Cash: I learned that John Adams was born in 1735, in Braintree, Massachusetts and in his early years lived on a farm with his family.And that george washington was born February 22,1732 He also graduated formal school at age 15 and then he joined the continental army on July 3,1775.And also I learned that Benjamin Franklin was born on January 17, 1706 and he died on April 17, 1790. And that Ben Franklin was a major inventor of many things. I wonder how Ben Franklin died.
Payton: (3) I learned about George Washington graduate school at the age of 15. George Washington also had around 577 slaves at mount vernon! I also learned that Dolly Madison Stayed behind in the white house while it was burning to save important documents, paintings, etc. (2) I wonder why Dolly Madison stayed behind in the white house to save so many things we admire today. I think she stayed back to get the documents because she knew that they were valuable and we would use them in the future. They also have signatures on them that are important to our country. - Aisley Jace1- I think Dolly Madison stayed back to save so many things to protect people's legacies. I also wonder why Lewis and Clark said yes to going on the Lewis and Clark expedition! 1)Ava- I think that they probably agreed to go because of the recognition and the acknowledgement that they would be the first people to explore and map that area. They would see things that they had never seen before and get to share those findings with everybody.
Gavin: (3)I learned that Alexander Hamilto was the captain of an artillery company in March 1776. Another thing I learned was that Tomas Jefferson's wife took care of the plantation while he was away with Washington, and that one of Franklin's famous quotes was that “a true friend is the best possession.” (2) I wonder why
Aisley - (3) I learned that James Madison was the 4th president. I learned that James Madison was Thomas Jefferson's Secretary of State. I learned that Dolly Madison saved many important documents from the white house when it was burning. (2) I wonder if all the founding fathers liked each other. I don't think all of the founding fathers liked each other because Alexander Hamilton did not get along with Thomas Jefferson and James Madison because they were in different parties ( sophia). I wonder if the founding fathers wanted to be founding fathers.
Ava-3)I learned that John Jay helped organize the judicial branch, that Benjamin was known as the first great man of letters, and that Thomas Jefferson was the one to put the Lewis and Clark expedition together. 2)I wonder why did Thomas Jefferson pick Lewis and Clark specifically? I also wonder why only some of the founding fathers had names for their houses? I think they named their house because it symbolises wealth in Britin. I think they picked Lewis Clark because maybe they volunteered. (Gavin) I think that he was chosen becuase he might of been close friends.( Christina)
Lucas-3) I learned that Benjamin Franklin was the oldest surviving signer of the Declaration of Independence. Lucas-2) Did George Washingtons mansion used to be a slave plantation?
Liv: 3-I learned that Hamilton’s father left his family, and his mother died, and that James Madison’s house was not named like George Washington’s, and that John Adams have 6 kids but only 4 of them made it to adulthood. 2-I wonder why only some of the president’s houses had names? I also wonder how Dolly Madison was so brave to go back into the White House and save all the important things we now have in the National Archives.Lucas-1) Thomas Jefferson probably either just wanted to write the constitution or he had better handwriting.
Jace 3 when Alexander Hamilton was born his parents were not together, George Washington had 577 slaves, and on Benjamin Franklin's funeral, more than 20,000 people came.2 What are the chances of John Adams and Thomas Jefferson die on the same day and how many arches did George Washington own?
Christina:(3): I learned that John Jay went to London to avoid armed conflicts between two nations. Alexander Hamilton was an orphan when he was younger. James Madison led the war aganst Britian.(2): I wonder why the Presidents back then named their homes? I wonder how Alexander Hamiltion’s Mother died.
