Tobacco in North America and African slaves

So from Europe people went to the Americas because they had a lot of good things like furs, fresh fish, and gold. But once all of the gold ran out then they found a new gold green gold. Tobacco, People tried planting tobacco at North america but they said that it did not taste good it was to bland lacked taste. So they took tobacco seeds from Spain and then they planted it there. They made their tobacco like this. First they would plant the tobacco then they would take the leaves and dry them and then roll them into dust. So they started planting a lot of tobacco in north america. Then they would smoke it. But the king didn't like it he said that the tobacco was bad for the people and ruined their lungs. The people didn't have good doctors back then so they kept on smoking tobacco. But soon they had to much tobacco and they had start making farms. But for farms they needed people to take care of them so when the farms got bigger they started getting slaves from Africa. So first the Europeans went to Africa traded pots and pans and other stuff like that for slaves then they went to North America and then they traded slaves for furs, fish, tobacco and other things, then they went back to Europe. This was called the triangular trade. After this Africa started losing a lot of people. So they started to stand their ground and not let the Europeans take their people. In one part of Africa an African queen named Ana Nzinga Mbande. She had a couple sisters and she helped the king fight the Europeans. This battle went on for a long time and soon the king died and someone else inherited the throne. But he was a coward and did not really want to fight the Europeans. Nzinga was mad she told him to fight them. A little after she got an English army general to help them and train their army to use guns. And soon they were doing pretty good but then the king called for peace and he told Nzinga to tell them to stop. So she went and called for peace and all was well.

Soccer best sport ever

So to me soccer IS the best sport in the world. Ok maybe your thinking but I am to old I can't play soccer, well you can still watch and that is almost as good as playing it. But if you can play it you might say I don't like it because I am not very good. Well you can either play with other not very good kids or you can try to get better. I would recommend getting better. Ok but what if your one of the people that is good but not good enough for that team. Two solutions. One bad and one good. The bad one is to give up soccer and try a different sport. The good solution is to work hard and get better for that team. I just love soccer but what if your one of the people who says OK I can't run well this one is a little more long term but still you can play soccer while not running that fast. Goalkeeper is the short term one and the long term one is losing weight by eating good food with full fat and not eat grains. You also can excercise like riding a bike or walking and then jogging a little.
I hope you try out soccer and if you don't at least watch it. I don't play any other competitive sport but soccer.

My play in soccer practice

So today in practice I had a very good play. I was wearing the Adidas 16.2 cage soccer shoes. So this practice session I was doing a lot of really good hard tackles and on one of those I stole it from this kid named Logan. and I dribbled past him then I took the ball and faked one way and went the other way against a kid named Sames but the touch was a little to long and another kid named Finn hesitated a little bit which gave me enough time to poke the ball threw his legs then another of my team mates almost took the ball but let it come to me and then I came to this defender which I didn't do very good against the other times but this time I was able to make him take my bait and go one way while I went the other and the I did a low driven cross that went to this kid named Carmen but he couldn't get a good foot on it and it went wide. And that was my good play.

Christmas and other things

So I know that is a little early to start thinking of Christmas but is it ever actually early to think of Christmas. I think I am going to get PES 2017 maybe I am still thinking about that. I am also going to get $200 for Christmas to buy what I want. I am thinking to save up the money untill I get my other $100 for my birthday. I also am looking forward to Thanksgiving I am goin to be making some sort of dessert for 7 people. I am still thinking about it, I did pies last year. Maybe I will do Pies again. I also just finished reading the five kingdoms book four. It was called the Death Weavers. It was Written by Brandon Mull. He is a Mormon and he was a roommate with my dad in College. He is a really good writer, he also wrote Fablehaven and Beyonders. Two really good series. So what happens in book four of the Five Kingdoms is that Cole the boy who went with some of his friends into the Outskirts by being kidnapped in someones Basement on Halloween. After the other three books Cole meets his brother Hunter. But he does not remember him because that is how it is in the Five kingdoms if you go in then your family and friends don't remember  you. But now they are in necronum and are trying to find Destiny and Honor. Two of the daughters of the high king. He was good but then he became bad. Then there is this thing called the Echolands. You can go to the echolands and then you become an echo. You don't get tired you can't get hurt that easily and your shaping power is really good there. But Cole's Shaping power was mangled by Morgassa a bad monster. But later in the book he goes into a Slipstream and he gets his power back and then he is able to send Nazeem into a prison that resets itself every millisecond.
