This is also true of 17th century Puritan colonies, who justified the peaceful construction of their community, in 1630, and its episode of mass hysteria and violence, which occurred in 1692, with religion through religious rhetoric (Wintrhop, 1630; Hall, 1988; LeBeau, 1998; Robinson, 1991).

  • Rhetoric Fallacy

    When considering a logical argument, I will make the consideration whether I can logically argue the topic without making a rhetorical fallacy. There, in my opinion, is no point to trying to argue a topic if the person knows that they will have no reasoning to back up their opinion, thus they have to commit fallacies.
