   The Amish People        The Amish People are sometimes considered strange or even weird, but they're not. They are normal people living day by day, week by week, and year by year. The only difference is, they are limited by certain standards. So who are they?                             The Schism  Back in 1693 the Menonite church had a Schism. Those who followed Jakob Ammann became known as Amish. The split was over ideas from different religions applying to them. Jakob Ammann thought that they should be able to apply different ideas from religions but others didn't support him. So they split into Amish and Menonite groups within the Anabaptist church. Both  groups went on to become big, but the Amish people became bigger in members. Currently there are over 270,000 members today.    ...

It is because they are so astonishing and if you are reading this you will know more why I love Polar bears so much! Polar Bear Facts The first reason why I love polar bears so much is an adult polar bear can be 7.9- 9.8 ft long. A new born polar bear is 30 cm long. A baby polar bear can swim. But not very well. They eat ringed and beard seals and normal seals. They can hold their breath for two minutes. That's a long time. Polar bears can swim for 3.4 days.

   Mammoth Cave     Caves are the passageways through the earth. They can go from 1 foot to four hundred  miles. Mammoth Cave stretches to this great length. With only four hundred miles charted, cave explorers or “cavers” are discovering different passages every day. This gives Mammoth Cave the well deserved title of the world's longest cave. The Beginning Let's go back about three million years. A small river fueled by rain is slowly carving at the soft limestone. Over the years the small opening gets bigger and bigger. The limestone is carved and shaped. Then after about 3 million years the river's masterpiece is done, over 400 miles  of cave are carved.  The river dries out and the cave is discovered by people. During the war of 1812 slaves mined the opening, looking for a stone called saltpeter. This rock is used to make gunpowder. This was very vidal to the US Army and their almost never ending supply was supporting many troops. T...

So what really happened in Hauns Mill?                                What was the Hauns Mill Massacre            Ha...
