Today Differences still remain between the South and the rest of the US. The South is still politically more conservative than most of the rest of the country. The region still has the only significant rural Black population. The dominance of the Baptist religion is also distinctive to the region. But the sense of alienation and isolation from the rest of the US, which was one of the major causes of the Civil War, has virtually disappeared. The Gulf Coast Subregion The Gulf Coastal…

The Southern Colonies encompassed Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. Settlers in the Southern Colonies were governed by a desire to earn money. in the new American country, something that they could not do from their home country. America provided a better place to appreciate an existence which is something the colonists could never dream to achieve should they stay in their native country. In the southern colonies, the migrants had a very bizarre association with…

can be divided into two sub-units. Verses from 1-3 is considered as a transition from the previous chapter (3:22-30). The reason is the previous chapter concludes with the baptismal ministry of John the Baptist. At the same time the previous chapter brings forth the ministry of Jesus. John the Baptist testifies and says; “He must increase and I must decrease”…

The poem “The Song Love of J. Alfred Prufrock” is written by T.S. Eliot in 1939. During this time period, the “late Victorian culture forbade the public expression of feeling” (McNamara 359). Eliot defies such principles and writes poems that contribute to the new era of poetry, the Modern Era. Eliot utilizes every aspect of the poem to exploit the hypocrisy of the people during the Victorian Era. Eliot develops this poem to expose the frustrations of the modern individual and the hypocrisies…

In my opinion, I think what Thomas Jefferson meant by “wall of separation” is metaphoric. He just wanted to make the Danbury Baptist Association understand that the government will not dictate what religion a man will praise. Meaning “religion is a matter which lies solely between man & his god”. Daniel Dreisbach made a point to mention that it was metaphoric. The phrase was not anywhere in the Constitution. After reading the article “The Mythical ‘Wall of Separation’”, I do believe that Daniel…

this paper I will be talking about how my denomination takes a biblical stand point on holiness, whether or not I believe holiness can be attained in this life, and how I think we can attain holiness. As I stated in many of my papers, I grew up Baptist and I believe we use a biblical definition of holiness. That is that God is the Holy of holies, since God is holy we too should be holy. We are called to be holy in Leviticus 11:44, I believe that means to be distinctly different than the world,…

grandmothers but it never made sense to me. My father’s mom was Methodist and my mother’s mom was Baptist. I was already confused. My parents believed in God but didn’t go to church or it wasn’t necessarily a priority to them. They didn’t make it mandatory or cared if we went to church or not. Some Sundays, I would go with my father’s mom because church was only an hour and a half. I was baptized Baptist but because of the long service, I became Methodist. I still truly wasn’t fully…

The Krasniqi family are Muslims, a religion not highly accepted in the U.S. Muslims have very different religious practices than a southern Baptist. Even though the case worker was aware of the children’s religion, she proceeded to place the children in a Baptist foster home where they would eventually be adopted. I believe the case worker did not agree with the Muslim religion, therefore she was trying to remove the children from any form of contact…
