I added in a sentence about how Shackleton's ability to keep up his crews moral was important.
Ernest Shackleton - Discovery (2nd Paragraph)
[edit]Shackleton's particular duties were listed as: "In charge of seawater analysis. Ward-room caterer. In charge of holds, stores and provisions […] He also arranges the entertainments. This skill would prove vital in his last expedition when keeping up his crew's moral.[1]
I added in a sentence about Mary Lincoln's impact as the first lady of the United States.
Mary Todd Lincoln - White House Years (2nd Paragraph)
[edit]Considered a "westerner" although she had grown up in the more refined Upper South city of Lexington, Mary worked hard to serve as her husband's First Lady in Washington, D.C., a political center dominated by eastern culture. The title First Lady was created in reference to Mary as she worked hard to be a respectable woman in the White House.[2] Lincoln was regarded as the first "western" president, and critics described Mary's manners as coarse and pretentious.[3]
I added a sentence about Lucretia Auld's impact on Fredrick Douglass.
Fredrick Douglass - Life As A Slave (4th Paragraph)
[edit]Douglass's mother died when he was about ten. After Anthony died, Douglass was given to Lucretia Auld, wife of Thomas Auld, who sent him to serve Thomas' brother Hugh Auld in Baltimore. Lucretia Auld was essential in creating who Douglass was as she shaped his experiences. She had a special interest in Douglass from the time he was a child and wanted to give him a better life.[4] Douglas felt that he was lucky to be in the city, where he said slaves were almost freemen, compared to those on plantations.[5]
Dietrich Bonhoeffer - Childhood and Family life (1st Paragraph)
[edit]His father was psychiatrist and neurologist Karl Bonhoeffer, noted for his criticism of Sigmund Freud, and his mother Paula Bonhoeffer, née von Hase, was a teacher and the granddaughter of Protestant theologian Karl von Hase and painter Stanislaus Kalckreuth. Bonhoeffer's family dynamic and his parents values enabled him to receive a high level of education and also encouraged his curiosity, which in turn impacted his ability to lead others around him, specifically in the church setting.[6]
Rachel Carson - Early Life & Education Spring (2nd paragraph)
[edit]At the Pennsylvania College for Women (today known as Chatham University), as in high school, Carson was somewhat of a loner. Her mother frequently visited Carson at college, somewhat allowing Carson to be a loner. Carson avoided most social interactions outside of the classroom and this shyness or isolationist mentality lasted her entire life. [7]
