DNA stands for Deoxyribonucleic acid. DNA is bascially your genetic makeup or what makes you you and seperates you from the person next to you. Like the DNA in somebodys blood is the same as the DNA in their skin cells and saliva.
Without Dna it would be really had to tell who committed a crime. But if somebody does commit a crime any skinflakes or blood left behind makes it easy to tell who did it.

In 1984 Jesse Jackson ran for the Democratic Nomination. He didnt win but he did have 450 delgates. But he did run again in 1988 This time He targeted all minority groups such as blacks and Hispanics along with more white voters. This time he got 1200 delegates. But it wasn’t enough to win. Many people didnt think he could win. Even though he didnt win the race people thought Jackson ran just to prove to people that a black person could still do well in a Presidential election.

The other day we went to the Atlanta History Center and it was really fun because we got a sheet with a name of a person who actually fought in the Civil War. On our sheet We had a certain amout of money, Healt points, and moral points. We also had to make decisions that real soilders had to make to. Like if we didnt have any food should we steal some from the enemy farmer and once you chose you had to spin a spinner and it decided if you got shot or got away. But I ended up dead but atleast I was sane.
