The research that we have done has led us to many information from a lot of various sources. Some of our information came from people that worked with Charles Schulz, some of our information has came from very generous people that have provided us information, some of our information came from various websites and books. The research that we have found has lead us to his birthday and some background about his life, November 26, 1922 to February 12, 2000 (aged 77). Also, some of the background information we have learned abt was who he married such as Joyce Halverson (1951 – 1972)

Jean Forsyth Clyde (1973 – 2000). After that, some more background information that we learned about was that he died because of colon cancer and he was a christian and was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and grew up in Saint Paul. Also, some more information that my partner and I have learned about were all the places that were named after him. Some of these places are Jean and Charles Schulz Information Center, Charles M. Schulz Museum and Research Center, Charles M. Schulz - Sonoma County Airport. Charles Schulz legacy was that he had all these places named after so people started to pay attention to his comic strips. Also, his legacy is having won so many awards for being one of the greatest cartoonist. After that, he was the third most payed celebrity, in 2006 Forbes ranked Schulz as the third highest-earning deceased celebrity, having earned $35 million in the previous year. Finally, his legacy affected people because everyone saw his comic strips in the front of every newspaper.

My partner and I have chosen Charles Schulz because we thought he would be the best representation of the theme, The Individual in History: Actions and Legacies. We thought Charles Schulz would be the best representation of the theme because ha had a great affect on cartoonist urging them to follow there dreams just like e did because ever scence he was a kid he was made fun off his drwings and his comics but when he folowed his dream he achived what his classmats thought was impossile for him. Also, we chose Charles Schulz because he had shown people what he did by reeving many awards and having many places named after himself. Finally, he is famous for his Peanuts comic strip which implied a lot of humor.
