    To respond to both Mary Katherine and Emma Grace... Mary Katherine, I believe the first part of your critique of Emma Grace's post is misplaced. If I am correct, the first two lines of your second paragraph in your response suggests that Emma Grace came to the conclusion that the ascetic life is one that lacks work. Considering Emma Grace says the following " But is he calling them not to work? Absolutely not" and ends her post with "It seems that Jesus is calling people to work," I first thought I had misread your post.

  • Analysis Of What This Cruel War Was Over By Chandra Manning

    176 Words  | 1 Pages

    In chapter one, Lincoln and Liberty, of Chandra Manning’s What This Cruel War Was Over, (2007), Manning explains that although there were many reasons for why a solider white or black, Union or Confederate, slavery was the ultimate cause of the Civil War. At first Manning lists all the reasons soldiers from certain backgrounds enlisted but then she shows how those reasons were connected to slavery or how slavery very quickly became the reason someone was fighting. She does this in order to show the reader that slavery affected everyone is some way or another and that is why it became the main cause of the war. I believe Manning is successful in showing the relation between slavery and the soldiers fighting for its continuation or its end. Manning
