September 15, 1803.
Philadelphia (U.S.A)
My name is James Franklin, and I am a assistant to Thomas Jefferson, the 3rd president of the U.S.
I am one of his assistant since he started with his presidence, and I have to admit that he is the best person I know. Jefferson defends people rights, and he knows what's better for them, always making them happy.
I am doing this time capsule because I want that people know some of the most important events on 18th and 19th century. I want explain what was Thomas Jefferson like and how we were living there.
Yours faithfully,
James Henry Franklin II

1. This is a Painting John Trumbull, where we can se Jefferson and other people signing the Declaration of independence.
"The American Revolutionary War or American War of Independence began in 1775 and finished in 1783. It was a very important war because Americans wanted to independence from the U.K because they didn’t like the rules that English imposed them, like sending English soldiers to there. This war lasted 8 years long, and, finally, the Americans won."

The introduction, the banner and the selection of contents and images are quite good. However, some explanatory texts are too short, there is no image of your time capsule and there are some grammar and spelling mistakes you could have avoided if you had been more careful when writing. Anyway, you've done quite a good job, congratulations!
