1. Unit VI Outline: Andrew Pickens
University
I. Introduction
The United States of America was built on the blood and sweat
of immigrants. This has been displayed from as early as the
colonizing years to the current times in different and very many
sectors. A number of Immigrants laid their lives before this
country to see that it gets its independence from the British, and
it is through them that the country has made so many strides in
very many sectors to be a superpower country today.
II. Body
a. An example of such is Brigadier General, Andrew Pickens,
son to Scotts and Irish immigrants in Bucks County,
Pennsylvania who later moved to South Carolina. Born in
September of 1739, Andrew Pickens’ first war was in 1760 in
the Anglo-Cherokee war where he was an officer in a provincial
regiment.
b. From this war Andrew took part in a number of many other
wars climbing ranks from time to time. At some point even
made Captain of militia in a rebellion against the British.

2. Andrew Pickens was later in 1782 to be elected to the South
Carolina’s General Assembly where he served for ten years.
c. He made so much impact in South Carolina State that at the
time of his demise in August of 1817 at the age of 77, the
Governor of South Carolina was his son Andrew Pickens Jr.,
Waring, A. N. (1962).
III. Conclusion
In conclusion, it is a fact that indeed the United States of
America was founded on the backs of immigrants and natives
alike. The current United States of America shines because of
the sweat and blood of many immigrants like Andrew Pickens.
Such people should be remembered and celebrated by showing
the currently growing number of immigrants in the United
States of America that they are welcome to this country and
should not be treated as second class citizens. Every immigrant
should have a sense of belonging and not feel any less an
American. Discriminating against immigrants on grounds of
skin color, race or religion should not be tolerated in the current
United States of America as a sign of honoring the immigrants
like Andrew Pickens who had the interest of this country at
heart and even fought its independence.

Unit VII Scholarly Activity
In this course, we have introduced and assessed many
noteworthy figures related to the colonizing and first 90 years
of the United States. For this assignment, you will choose a
significant figure who contributed to and influenced others
during the time discussed in this course—with the exception of
any U.S. President—and prepare a tribute focusing on his or her
relevance to today. This is not a biography. Your argument
should highlight how society remembers your historical figure
now, based on the philosophies and ideals he or she presented
or helped to change and evolve.
The style of this project is a multimedia presentation with both
audio and video components; however, the medium used is up to
you. Potential examples include, but are not limited to, a
videotaped speech, a self-guided PowerPoint presentation, or a
video with audio. Creativity and effort will impact the final
grade.
Projects are due during Unit VII and will be graded on the
following:
-page reflection, ideally based on
the outline assignment from Unit VI.
as an audio transcript.
Online Library (at least one from the American History & Life
database).
of those sources must be used.

4. PowerPoint, slides and audio should progress and stop
automatically like a taped presentation.
Many options exist to which you could use to make your
recording, such as the following:
- http://www.audacityteam.org
- www.online-voice-recorder.com
- www.ipadio.com
Alternatively, you can search for other programs/ways to make
your recording to upload.
Once you have completed your recording, save the file to
upload, or include a link to YouTube or whichever website you
chose to post it. Questions should be directed to your professor
prior to beginning the assignment.
CSU librarians can help you with your research for this
assignment.
