  • Summary Of Creating An Old South

    797 Words  | 4 Pages

    Looking back on the years leading up to Florida statehood, it is tempting to believe that the outcome was inevitable and to ignore the disagreements that occurred at the time. This view forms the myth of the “Old South” which was imagined as being stable and lacking any significant changes or crises. Documents written at the time along with books such as Creating an Old South contradict this view and reveal a number of divisive issues, including geographic divisions and disagreement over the ultimate fate of Indians that reveal that the idea of an unchanging South was just an illusion with no basis in reality. The author of the book Creating an Old South, Edward E Baptist, does a very effective job when it comes to addressing the main thesis

    The collapse of the consensus era of American scholarship in the 1960s and the rise of cultural historians in the subsequent decades began a revitalized interest in early America’s legal system. The 1970s also marked the end of the intellectual historian’s dominance. The works of “giants” such as Bernard Bailyn and Edmund Morgan were gateways into the present era of the historical field. These authors, and many like them, took advantage of scores of new data and sources being uncovered from seventeenth century Virginia, to question many aspects of traditional scholarship. Bailyn, in “Politics and Social Structure in Virginia,” breaks with the norm of existing scholarship by examining Virginia’s seventeenth century political system from a non-institutional

  • Russell Vs Socrates

    559 Words  | 3 Pages

    The first concept that I noticed shared by Russell and Socrates was the concept that one had to remove themselves before serious philosophical contemplation could take place. In Russell 's case, he refers to the "Self" and the "Not-Self". With Socrates, as seen in the Apology, confronting his accuser about the corruption of youth, his accuser is silent because he had not given the matter any thought. Socrates awareness of his own ignorance frees him from what Russell would refer to as "Self". I mention this because it serves as a common theme even as both philosophers differ in their messages.

Machaut created music for the church and was the first to do in a polyphonic approach. Agnus Dei became a staple in the mass ordinary, as it referred to “speaking of christ”.
