    The Constitution was created to replace the Articles of Confederation, since the Articles of Confederation granted too little power to the federal government, which caused Shay’s rebellion. Within the Constitution, there are laws that both limit and give power to the federal government and other laws that protected citizen’s natural rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness or property. The Constitution that was once the cause of national unity caused the Union to split into two separate sides: the abolitionist North, and the slave-holding South. The reasoning of this is mainly due to the Constitution’s ability to adapt to changes according the circumstances.…

    At the beginning of the novel Fahrenheit 451, Guy Montag is a fireman like any other that doesn’t stray from the crowd and doesn’t ask questions. He seems content to carry out orders, no matter how destructive or cruel without a second thought. Over the course of the novel, however, Montag is transformed into a curious man that seeks the truth about books and what really happens in their society. A major influence on this transformation is his contact with subordinate characters such as MIldred, Clarisse, and Faber. His interactions with these characters show him what it would take for him to be happy, and what had previously caused him not to be.…

Time after time, racism has been a horrible practice of some, while many have tried to eradicate the issue. Slavery was a particularly dark period of race relations in America, in the form of white men who claimed ownership of his black brothers. This was solely on the basis of a pseudoscience that they were inferior, and thus weren 't worthy of basic human rights. It was a sordid period in human history, yet some of history’s great leaders and heroes arose in opposing this great evil.…

    In today’s modern society, it is hard to grasp the concept of the institution of slavery; however, it was a harsh reality for millions of African Americans during early United States history. Although slavery was an enormous and profitable system for the white Americans, growing zeal for the abolition of slavery increased leading up to the Civil War. Family values, white job protection, and Christian morals were the most influential underlying forces in the growing opposition and resentment toward slavery from 1776 to 1852. Family values were a key component in Southern culture, and in the years leading up to the Civil War, an increasing number of individuals realized the damagingly tight grip that the institution of slavery had on families. The second great awakening not only created a change in gender roles for women,…

    Uncle Tom’s Cabin is not a textbook, an encyclopedia entry, or a peer-reviewed scholarly journal article. Harriet Beecher Stowe’s novel does not provide a factual and legally compelling argument for the eradication of slavery, but that is not what it sets out to do. Peer-reviewed articles, encyclopedia entries and textbooks are only compelling enough to make a reader shrug and tip their hat to the author for making a point, not for persuading hearts to change and act for justice. The purpose of Uncle Tom’s Cabin is to make the readers see the evils of slavery. James Baldwin argues, “her book was not intended to do anything more than prove that slavery was wrong; was, in fact, perfectly horrible” (533).…
