When most people hear the words “The American Revolution,” they think of the bloody battles that occurred and the ensuing independence of the thirteen colonies. However, not only did this give birth to our nation, it also had an impact on American literature. The events of the famous war brought confidence to the colonists and started the revolt against Britain. The Colonists wanted their independence and during this time they did not have a form of informing everyone in the colonies. The…

The role of women in Genesis 3:16 has often been disputed in the modern day. Genesis 3:16 (NIV) states: ‘To the woman he said, “I will make your pains in childbearing very severe; with painful labor you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.”’ With “modern day” feminism, as Foh’s modern day is 1975, a growing phenomenon, woman’s rights and the understanding of women’s roles in marriage are changing. The church has to reevaluate the…

This famous quote is yelled through the town to warn them the British were advancing.

During the periods between the end of the Seven Years War and the American Revolution, the colonies began to use no taxation without representation as both a primary force motivating the American revolutionary movement and a symbol for democracy. After the Seven Years War, the colonies began to realize their representation in Parliament was very limited, as they were being taxed against their will. Then, as thoughts of a Revolution heightened, the colonies began to realize their representation…

Additionally, the Articles essentially gave no power to the government so it could not raise any money through taxes and it lacked the authority to maintain a standing army.

Disease and degeneracy has taken place of the progression promised by the Enlightenment, there is discomfort present within modern society and its streamlining that has led to the world despair and nihilism. Modern mechanical social structure stands responsible for the capacity depletion of humanity to find meaning, and the increased intellectual sophistication is in fact a manifestation of a vane sense of egoism, bound to erupt violently.

In Genesis 3: 1-24, it is implied that the first sin was caused by temptation. The devil, or Satan, made himself appear as a serpent in the Garden of Eden; he informed Eve that the only reason why God did not want both her and Adam to eat from the tree with the forbidden fruit was because the fruit contained knowledge that only God had at the time.
