Who was John By?
Colonel John By was a British military engineer responsible for the design and construction of the Rideau Canal, a Canadian waterway joining the city of Ottawa (on the O…ttawa River) to the city of Kingston (on the St. Lawrence River). It was intended to give the British fleet a means of circumventing American territorial waters during British-American hostilities in the early 19th century. The fleet could sail up the St Lawrence River to Montreal, then sail up the Ottawa River to Ottawa, and use the Rideau Canal to re-access the St. Lawrence at the eastern end of Lake Ontario, completely bypassing the stretch of the St. Lawrence that is bounded by both the United States and Canada.

Who was John Greenleaf whittier?
American poet and abolitionist who, in the latter part of his life, shared with Henry Wadsworth Longfellow the distinction of being a household name in both England and …the United States. Born on a farm into a Quaker family, Whittier had only a limited formal education. He became an avid reader of British poetry, however, and was especially influenced by the Scot Robert Burns, whose lyrical treatment of everyday rural life reinforced his own inclination to be a writer. Whittier's career naturally divides into four periods: poet and journalist (1826-32), abolitionist (1833-42), writer and humanitarian (1843-65), and Quaker poet (1866-92). At age 19 he submitted his poem "The Exile's Departure" to the abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison for publication in the Newburyport Free Press, and it was accepted. Garrison encouraged other poetic contributions from Whittier, and the two men became friends and associates in the abolitionist cause. Whittier soon turned to journalism. He edited newspapers in Boston and Haverhill and by 1830 had become editor of the New England Weekly Review in Hartford, Connecticut, the most important Whig journal in New England. He also continued writing verse, sketches, and tales, and he published his first volume of poems, Legends of New England, in 1831. In 1832, however, a failed romance, ill health, and the discouragement he felt over his lack of literary recognition caused him to resign and return to Haverhill. Deciding that his rebuffs had been caused by personal vanity, Whittier resolved to devote himself to more altruistic activities, and he soon embraced Garrisonian abolitionism. His fiery antislavery pamphlet Justice and Expediency made him prominent in the abolition movement, and for a decade he was probably its most influential writer. He served a term in the Massachusetts legislature, spoke at antislavery meetings, and edited the Pennsylvania Freeman (1838-40) in Philadelphia. In 1840 he returned to live in Amesbury with his mother, aunt, and sister. By 1843 Whittier had broken with Garrison, having decided that abolitionist goals could be better accomplished through regular political channels. He became more active in literature, in which new avenues of publication were now open to him. In the next two decades he matured as a poet, publishing numerous volumes of verse, among them Lays of My Home (1843), Voices of Freedom (1846), Songs of Labor (1850), The Panorama (1856), and Home Ballads and Poems (1860). Among his best-known poems of this period is "Maud Muller" (1854), with its lines "Of all sad words of tongue and pen/ The saddest are these, 'It might have been.' " Most of his literary prose, including his one novel, Leaves from Margaret Smith's Journal (1849), was also published during this time, along with numerous articles and reviews. Whittier's mother and his beloved younger sister died in the period from 1857 to 1864, but his personal grief, combined with the larger national grief of the Civil War, furthered his literary maturity. The publication in 1866 of his best-known poem, the winter idyll Snow-Bound, was followed by other triumphs in the verse collections The Tent on the Beach (1867), Among the Hills (1868), and The Pennsylvania Pilgrim (1872). Whittier's 70th birthday was celebrated at a dinner attended by almost every prominent American writer, and his 80th birthday became an occasion for national celebration. After outgrowing the Romantic verse he wrote in imitation of Robert Burns, Whittier became an eloquent advocate of justice, tolerance, and liberal humanitarianism. The lofty spiritual and moral values he proclaimed earned him the title of "America's finest religious poet," and many of his poems are still sung as church hymns by various denominations. After the Civil War he changed his focus, depicting nature and homely incidents in rural life. Whittier's verse is often marred by sentimentality, poor technique, or excessive preaching, but his best poems are still read for their moral beauty and simple sentiments. He was not a literary figure of the highest stature but was nevertheless an important voice of his age. ----The Evil Yellow Leprechaun... (MORE)

When do you using I or me. For example John and I ..... John and me..... or Me and John?
The other person's name should come first, "me and John" should not be used. This is manners, not a rule of grammar. The pronoun 'I' is used as the subject of a se…ntence or a clause. The pronoun 'I' is used as a subject complement following a linking verb (the object of the verb restates the subject). The pronoun 'me' is used as the object of a verb or a preposition. These rules apply whether the pronoun is used alone or as a compound with a noun or another pronoun. Examples: John and I went to the store. (subject of the sentence) He and I went to the store. (subject of the sentence) The shoppers were John and I. (subject complement) Jane gave two apples to John and me. (indirect object of the verb) Jane made apple pie for you and me.
