Post 2: Hi everyone,
My name is Rosemarie A. Quiocho, married with a grown up kid, my one and only. You
can call me Marie for short. I work as a billing specialist for now till I finish my BSN degree. My
place of residence is at Rowlett, Texas. Good luck to all of us.
My favorite historical figure in American history is Franklin Delano Roosevelt. He was
one of the greatest presidents of the United States of America. He might had come from a
prominent family but he championed the poor. His greatest achievement was bringing back the
United States of America from the great depression. He never wavered from his responsibilities
despite his paralysis due to poliomyelitis.
Response: Rosemarie Quiocho begins by introducing that she is married and has a grown
up child. She likes to be referred by Marie. Her favorite historical personality is Frankline de
Roosevelt for various reasons such as championing the rights of the marginalized in the society
as well as restoring the economy after great depression.

My name is Lauren and I am working towards my Bachelor's degree in nursing. I
currently reside in Sacramento, CA. I have been a nurse for 10 years and love working in the
Emergency Room. I am originally from Boston and am a huge sports fan. I currently am working
two jobs and attempting to finish my bachelors degree with a wedding right around the
corner...to say my plate if full is an understatement!
My favorite American figure would have to be Oprah Winfrey. Oprah was arguably one
of the most influential people of the 20th century. She changed the world of media and how it
was delivered to the American population. In addition to being a notable philanthropist she has
built herself from nothing to becoming one of the most powerful women in America. Oprah has
influenced Americans religiously and politically and has gone from radio to media to authoring
several books.
Response: Lauren also begins by introducing herself to the discussion board. Her person of
interest in the United States is Oprah Winfrey as a result of being the most influential people.
Oprah played a critical role in bringing change to the world of media. Besides, Lauren suggests
that she started from humble beginnings and become one of the most important people in U. S.
Main Post: The role of American Indian confederation was not essentially to be used as
pawns but they came together to participate in the war because they wanted to resist the
expansion of the United States1. However, to the Europeans, the American Indians were just
pawns because they were not acknowledged in other treaties. Among the factors that prompted
the various tribes and confederation to choose an ally over others stems from other colonist who
