I grade Sam Houston on the following:
Decision making B
Treatment of others C

Sam deserves a B in Decision Making because he often made reckless decisions risking his life and others. When he was a young boy and ran away from Maryville he could have been killed by a wild animal.In the instance during a battle on March 27,1814 . He led his platoon over a fortress made by the 'Red Sticks'. Going over was a suicidal mission led by him. Sam earned an extra five points for on March 16,1861 he stuck with his beliefs that joining the Confederacy was the wrong thing to do. Despite all the pressure on him he stood by his decision.


Sam deserves a C in Treatment of Others because he was often harsh to his children but that wasn't uncommon back then. Free will learn it i thought when Santa Anna's army came after his own. The choice wasn't all that fair. No one wants to be shot because they deserted. That would be an un-honorable way to die. Sam tricked his on soldiers into staying. Sam Jr. was instructed often even when Sam wasn't there with his studies and how he should present himself.Still when he threatened his five-year-old son Andrew Jackson to a whipping and a stay in jail that was very cruel even if it wasn't carried out.





The advantages are you die faster, and you feel good doing it.They can both be stress relievers.well drinking lowers inhibitions which may or may not be a good thing, depending, a glass of red wine a day is good for the heart

smoking, its a stimulant, so it can keep you up, also it increases your resistance to nicotiene so if someone ever tries to give you nicotiene poisoning then you have a higher resistance so you might live where others might not.
Momentary stress relief
Lets you run away from our problems instead of dealing with them like a decent person
Drinking helps you loosen up and have a good time at parties.

Smoking relives stress in the brain and helps you relax.
Absolutely none. They both harm yourself, can lead to you harming others or plain out harm others. They both should not be done.
