New Uniforms and Politically Grouped States

Today in class we discussed for a long time about PSAT's. Mr. Schick was telling us how his daughter had difficulty trying to accomplish this test on her own. I took it into consideration when he said that his daughter got help and her score on this test started to improve.

Today in class, well honestly I don't know what happened because I wasn't there because I had left for a lacrosse game. But, I still got the notes!!!!! they made bread and held circuses to distract the plebians and keep them from a revolt Tiberius Gracchus recognized the advantages of courting the plebians (even though he was ultimately unsuccessful) military generals worked that angle - lead an army that conquers a land, then give them a share in the spoils soldier's loyalty was to their military leader, not necessarily to Rome or the republic julius Caesar (100-44 BC) a highly successful general  he conquered the territory of Gaul  he made the common folks happy, orator made friends in high places Pompey (a general who conquered Syria and Palestine) Crassus ( the richest man in rome, one of the richest men in all history) these men formed the First Triumvirate "rule of three men" "crossing the Rubicon" when you have made a d...
