George Washington Carver RL 4th -7th
George Washington Carver was
an American scientist, botanist, educator, and inventor. He was born into
slavery during the America Civil war in the state Missouri , a year before the end of the war.
CWPM 31
When George Washington Carver
was only a week old, George, a sister, and his mother were kidnapped by night
raiders from Arkansas . George's
brother, James, was rushed to safety from the kidnappers. The kidnappers sold
the slaves in Kentucky .
Moses Carver hired John Bentley to find them, but he located only the infant
George. Moses negotiated with the raiders to gain the boy's return and rewarded
Bentley. CWPM 99
After slavery was abolished,
Moses Carver and his wife Susan raised George and his older brother James as
their own children. They encouraged George to continue his love of learning and
reading, and his "Auntie Susan" taught him the basics of reading and
writing that he turned into a lifelong passion of learning. CWPM 147
African American people were
not allowed to go to white only public schools in Diamond Grove. The nearest
segregated school for African American children was 10 miles away in Neosho, George
decided to go there to continue his education. When he reached the town, he
found the school closed for the night. He slept in a nearby barn. By his own
account, the next morning he met a kind woman, Mariah Watkins, from whom he
wished to rent a room. When he identified himself as "Carver's
George," as he had done his whole life, she replied that from now on his
name was "George Carver". George liked this lady very much, and her
words, "You must learn all you can, then go back out into the world and give
your learning back to the people", made a great impression on him. CWPM 286

American
History Reading Passages 4th-7th
Washington was born into
the provincial gentry of Colonial Virginia; his wealthy planter
family owned tobacco plantations and slaves. After both his father
and older brother died when he was young, Washington became
personally and professionally attached to the powerful William
Fairfax, who promoted his career as a surveyor and soldier.
Washington quickly became a senior officer in the colonial forces
during the first stages of the French and Indian War. Chosen by the
Second Continental Congress in 1775 to be commander-in-chief of the
Continental Army in the American Revolution, Washington managed to
force the British out of Boston in 1776, but was defeated and almost
captured later that year when he lost New York City. After crossing
the Delaware River in the dead of winter, he defeated the British in
two battles, retook New Jersey and restored momentum to the Patriot
cause. WCPM 143
Washington was elected
president as the unanimous choice of the electors in the elections of
both 1788–1789 and 1792. He oversaw the creation of a strong,
well-financed national government that maintained neutrality in the
wars raging in Europe, suppressed rebellion, and won acceptance among
Americans of all types. His leadership style established many forms
and rituals of government that have been used since, such as using a
cabinet system and delivering an inaugural address. Further, his
retirement after two terms and the peaceful transition from his
presidency to that of John Adams established a tradition that
continued up until Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected to a third term.
Washington was hailed as "father of his country" even
during his lifetime. WCPM 263

American
History Reading Passage RV 4th - 7th
Four score and seven years
ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation,
conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men
are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a
great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so
conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great
battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that
field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives
that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that
we should do this. WCPM 102
But, in a larger sense, we
can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow --
this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have
consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world
will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can
never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to
be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here
have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here
dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these
honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they
gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve
that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation,
under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government
of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from
the earth. WCPM 280
