Shackleton, Braden Calvin

---Working from the "Open-Boat journey" section

"Shackleton chose five companions for the journey: Frank Worsley, Endurance's captain, who would be responsible for navigation; Tom Crean, who had "begged to go"; two strong sailors in John Vincent and Timothy McCarthy, and finally the carpenter McNish.[106] Shackleton had clashed with McNish during the time when the party was stranded on the ice, but, while he did not forgive the carpenter's earlier insubordination, Shackleton recognized his value for this particular job.[h][107][108]"

'''Shackleton took along McNish, Worsley, McCarthy, and Vincent on his voyage for help. Not only did Shackleton recognize their value for the job but also because he knew the potential risk they were to morale. This allowed for Shackleton to remain in control of the moral of his crew members. The attitudes of his men were a point of emphasis in leading his men back to safety.'''

Lincoln, Braden Calvin

Lincoln

--- Working from the beggining of the General McClellan Section

-After the Union rout at Bull Run and Winfield Scott's retirement, Lincoln appointed Major General George B. McClellan general-in-chief.[6]:318–319 McClellan then took months to plan his Peninsula Campaign. McClellan's slow progress frustrated Lincoln, as did his position that no troops were needed to defend Washington. McClellan blamed Lincoln's holding troops back for his campaign's subsequent failure.[6]:349–352

'''-Lincoln went as far as meeting with General McClellan in his home to discuss matters privately. Once McClellan heard Lincoln was in his home, McClellan stay hidden away until Lincoln left.'''

Fredrick Douglass

-Working in the "Life as a Slave" section final paragraph

In 1833, Thomas Auld took Douglass back from Hugh ("[a]s a means of punishing Hugh," Douglass later wrote). Thomas Auld sent Douglass to work for Edward Covey, a poor farmer who had a reputation as a "slave-breaker". He whipped Douglass regularly, and nearly broke him psychologically. The sixteen-year-old Douglass finally rebelled against the beatings, however, and fought back. After Douglass won a physical confrontation, Covey never tried to beat him again.[25]

From 

-'''The physical brawl between Covey and Douglass ended in a draw, but, a draw was a victory for Douglass. From that point on, Covey never again laid his hand on a slave.'''

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

- Working in the Return the the United States Section

-In February 1938, Bonhoeffer made an initial contact with members of the German Resistance when his brother-in-law Hans von Dohnányi introduced him to a group seeking Hitler's overthrow at Abwehr, the German military intelligence service.

-'''It was because of this initial contact with members of the Abwehr that gave Bonhoeffer the opportunity to step into a role that he had been searching for to resist the German autocracy. This was a crucial moment in the framework of his leadership.'''

Rachel Carson, Braden Calvin

-Working in the Promotion and Reception section, paragraph 5.

---White-Stevens labeled her "...a fanatic defender of the cult of the balance of nature,"[67] while former U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson, in a letter to former President Dwight D. Eisenhower, reportedly concluded that because she was unmarried despite being physically attractive, she was "probably a Communist."[68]

-'''Carson was criticized by many names due to her research and work. The director of the New Jersey Department of Agriculture said that Carson aligned herself with a "vociferous, misinformed group of nature-balancing, organic gardening, bird-loving, unreasonable citizenry..."'''
