The American civil war was a time of severe devastation. Pinning “brother vs brother”, this war destroyed not only the country’s landscape but also the relationships amongst many. However, from the ashes of this destruction rose heroes willing to fight for what they believed in; freedom. One of these heroes was a man named Newt Knight.

religious (McCuen 59). The Ku Klux Klan publically claimed to be ethnocentric which is “the expression of a belief that one’s own...race, [or] religion...is superior” (McCuen 59). While there is evidence that the Ku Klux Klan did aim toward white supremacy, it is more notable their race bias.

“Then they came to the tree from when Okonkwo’s body was dangling and they stopped dead,” (Achebe 207). This shows us that Okonkwo made himself look “soft” and not like the tough person he said he was because of the fact that he technically gave up on himself.
