History Timeline

I want to tell you a timeline.

At the start there's Kaya and Felicity. The first two American girls.



Then there is the American Revolution.

Then President Washington.

Then President Adams.

Then President Jefferson. And when Jefferson was president Lewis and Clark explored.

Then President John Quincy Adams.

Then President Jackson. And when president Jackson lived 2 things happened. He was friends with a man named Davy Crockett and his friend died in a place called the Alamo.



Then President Abraham Lincoln. Alidia calls him Hanna Binkin. Abraham Lincoln got shot by a man named John Wilkes Booth. He was shot at night on April 14th and died on April 15th. Just like the Titanic struck the iceberg at night on April 14th and sunk on April 15th. That was the end of the Civil War.



Then the Indian wars started. I know some Indian names. Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse, Chief Joseph and Pocahontas. Did you know I might make a movie about the Indian wars.



Then William McKinley got shot so Theodore Roosevelt became president. But before Theodore Roosevelt became president he was in a war called the Spanish American War. Theodore Roosevelt had two wives. The first was named Alice, the second was named Edith. Edith was the one who went with him to the white house.

Then President William Howard Taft. William Howard Taft was the presidents name when the Titanic sunk. I learned that from a book.

After that World War 1 started. I know someone who was on the Titanic, a crewman named Charles Lightoller. Like I said, he was in WW1.

Then after a while World War 2 started. Then president Franklin Roosevelt died and Harry Truman was president.

Then after a while Martin Luther King Jr. gave his speech at the Lincoln Memorial. My dad's been to the Lincoln Memorial, but I have not. Only my dad has been there. He had to go there for something.



Then Michael Jackson lived. I know he turned into a wolf, I've seen the video.

I know this is when the Beatles lived. I know all 4 of their names. Their names are George Harrison, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and Ringo Star. The one that plays the drums is Ringo Star. The other 3 play guitars. The one who played the drums is the only one that lives. John got shot. George and Paul just got really old and died.

Then the Vietnam War happened.

Then the Challenger blew up when Ronald Reagan was president. I know someone who was on the Challenger. Sally Ride. I learned that in a book last night. It had a picture of Sally Ride and it said Challenger. There were other people but I can't remember their names.

Then after Ronald Reagan was president George Herbert Walker Bush was president. I know what his wife's name was. Barbara Bush.

Then after George Herbert Walker Bush it was Bill Clinton. I don't know his wife's name.

Then after Bill Clinton was president George Walker Bush was president. His wife's name was Laura Bush.

After further investigation, Cole discovered that Sally Ride was not on the challenger. She was an astronaut who was heavily involved in the investigation afterward. He wanted me to let everyone know that he was wrong and he is quite distraught by his error. I'm certain he will be more thorough in his research going forward. :)
