Pearl Harbor Acrostic

Pearl Harbor was attacked December 7, 1941. (December 8 1941 in Japan)

Early in the morning at 7:48 am( 3:48 am in Hawaii) is when this happened.

Arizona, Pennsylvania, Nevada, Oklahoma, Tennessee, California, Maryland, and West Virginia are all 8 of the battleships that sank in this war

Revenge happened in World War II (Which they brought us into) w.hen Americans came back and defeated Japan.

Lots of Americans died around 2,400 military soliders drowned or died from bombs!

Heros of the day I think are the Americans who got right back up stronger then we were.

Attack! In Oaho Hawaii!, said President Roosevelt.

Roosevelt called it, ” A Date Which Will Live in Infamy.

Because Japan attacked us it brought us into World War II.

Oahu, Hawaii is where the USS Arizona Memorial lays today.

Rememberance Day is what the Peral Harbor attack is called today!

If I was a settler and I had a choice to choose to settle with Jamestown or Plymouth settlers I would choose Plymouth because Jamestown settlers were first all men. Another reason I would have chosen Plymouth is because not so many people died on  the voyage so most likely I would have a small chance of dieing. Also my great great great…….. grandpa was born on the new land so I would know some people on that ship. Also they had a law that you could only make a law for the good of the colony. Indians had helped them so much that they had the first Thanksgiving thanking God for letting them survive that Winter. That’s why I would have chosen Plymouth.

Henry Hudson

June 1611

Explorer  Gazette

Henry Hudson was exploring for the Dutch to find the Northwest Passage in 1609. Henery’s ship was called the Half Moon . When he and his crew of 20 got farther up north it began to get colder.  Henry Hudson turned his ship around and started heading for southwest America.  He sailed the Half Moon on the coast where New York is today. The Dutch set post here he had sailed. Soon they would name the river he had sailed on the Hudson River.  For a second attempt in 1610 he sailed on a ship called the Discovery for England.   Henry thought he had found the Northwest Passage when he discovered a 450 mile long passageway.  Hudson sailed into later to be called Hudson Bay.  Henry started to go farther looking for a passage.  The winter came and the bay froze. Over freezing Henry Hudson’s boat, (The Discovery) into the bay. When the summer stroke in 1611 he went searching for the Northwest passage again. Henry’s crew was stuck up and put Henry, his son, and seven other loyal men into a boat with no oars. Nobody’s heard of him since. I think Henry Hudson and the others found a way to sail a little bit with maybe a log, so instead of going all that way home, they might of stayed and lived with the natives for the rest of their days.  What do you think?
