Answer to Question 1

Ideal Answer: The ideal answer should:
1. Define the Brown raid as a long term plan to attack a gun factory carried out by John Brown and several white and black men to start a slave insurrection in Virginia.
2. Note that the outcome of the raid included most of the attackers being killed and John Brown being executed by the state of Virginia.
3. Conclude that the long term impact of the Brown raid was to anger the South and embolden northern abolitionists and southern slaves to continue resisting against slavery. The Brown raid was the spark that ignited the Civil War, as did the election of Abraham Lincoln shortly thereafter.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
