How Much Water Should You Drink?
The amount of water a person should drink varies on
their weight, which makes sense because the more
someone weighs the more water they need to drink.
• Multiply by 2/3: Next you want to multiple your
weight by 2/3 (or 67%) to determine how much
water to drink daily.
• EX - if you weighed 175 pounds multiple that by 2/3 = 117
ounces of water every day.
• Activity Level: Sweat = loosing water - You should
add 12 oz of water to your daily total for every 30
minutes that you work out. (45 min. means add 18
oz for the day)

CSS 11.10.7
Manifest Destiny 1
Manifest Destiny 2
Declaration of Sentiments, 1848
•When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one portion of the family of man to assume
among the people of the earth a position different from that which they have hitherto occupied, but one to
which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind
requires that they should declare the causes that impel them to such a absolution.
•We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men and women are created equal; that they are endowed
by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness; that to secure these rights governments are instituted, deriving their just powers from the
consent of the governed. Whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the
right of those who suffer from it to refuse allegiance to it, and to insist upon the institution of a new
government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them
shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.
•Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and
transient causes; and, accordingly, all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer,
while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they were accustomed.
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design
despotism, it is their duty to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security.
Such has been the patient sufferance of the women under this government, and such is now the necessity
which constrains them to demand the equal station to which they are entitled.
•The history of mankind is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations on the part of man toward woman,
having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over her. To prove this, let facts be
submitted to a candid world.
CSS 11.10.7

territory should be free or
slave.
• When gold was found in 1849
a huge fight began over what
to do with California.
• The Compromise of 1850
made CA a state and the bad
blood that followed led
directly to the Civil War.

Causes of the Civil War
3. Dred Scott decision,
1857

who sued for his
freedom because his
master took him to a
northern state.
• The Supreme Court
ruled that a slave is
property no matter
where he/she is.
• This made all states slave
