    Many people believe that George Stinney killed Betty and Mary and that he was convicted rightly because he apparently confessed that he was the one that killed the two girls. What this argument falls to consider is that George was interrogated by many white officers during the Jim Crow era and was forced to confesse to the two murders in a small room without his parents to support him(Smolowe et al.) It is said that Stinney was successful in killing both girls at once (Smolowe et al.). How is it possible that a boy barely five feet tall and not even hundred pounds of weight can kill two girls at the same time when you add up the weight of both girls the weigh more than George weights. Therefore, George is not even close to being the murder…

    Are the arguments posited by Patrick Henry and Thomas Paine effective? Of course they are, did they not persuade their people to fight against Britain, for their rights. Patrick Henry spoke about a war that had not yet begun, he spoke of it with urgency, as if there was no time to question it. He decided that he needed to get people involved in his speech, he needed people to think about what he was saying, to choose between the good and the bad. Thomas Paine did the same thing, he used emotion to get through the people sitting before him.…

    Elizabeth Cady Stanton was born on November 12, 1825, in Johnstown, New York. She was an abolitionist and a leading figure in the women's movement.

Our religion, laws, customs, are all founded on the belief that woman was made for man.” But it is also the same for the blacks at the time, they who are black or are female do not compare to the men of America. In “What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?” and the “Declaration of Sentiments”, Frederick Douglass and Elizabeth Cady Stanton had the same basic purpose for giving their respective speeches, and they accomplished their end goal in very similar ways, including, that they both wanted equality, they had experience, and both were very brave.…
