A Little Information About Connor Murphy

Throughout this course we learned lots about Florida and its history. From the original Florida crackers to Florida's impact on world war 2 and much more! Florida was very quick to be against slavery unlike most of the southern states.  We learned during world war 2 how Florida had the most troops of all southern states, and really helped out. Although they helped out so much, Florida was not really given any help or anything. Throughout the class there was lots of writing, and with writing came blogs. Blogs were very useful, and helped very much with learning more as we had to cite from the books in each post. Citing very much linked it the blogs to the material and was very important. As tedious as the blogs were they really enchanted the learning, and I strongly believe I made the correct choice choosing the blogging, for the reasons of helping me learn. While also helping to become more successful and I really believe this class has helped me. Lastly I am not a great test taker...

Covid-19: In 2023 Covid is finally dying slowly but surely. From April 13- April 19 94,140 cases were documented, and it is down 23%. We must change nothing about our practices with this. Law enforcement: Between March 2020, and August 2022 law enforcement has fell down 4% due to people being afraid to join due to world issues. As a senate member I will do all I can to fix this!
