Not only were they fighting for their own rights in 1976, but they were sending away the son, husbands, brothers of other Americans thousands of miles away to the country of Vietnam to fight an unjust war for the rights of the people in Southeast Asia. Martin Luther King Jr proves to all throughout his speech “Beyond Vietnam --- A Time to Break Silence” that the Vietnam war was unjust by his use of emotional diction, the allusion of Jim crow, and repetition. Throughout the first paragraph of King’s speech, he used emotional diction with words such as struggle, poverty, and poor to prove that the war in Vietnam was bringing down the American’s and their families fighting overseas.

However, he also wished that it end peacefully. He wished that once the fighting had ceased and the war was declared over, that the North and South care for each other as they do their own people. But, a peace would be very difficult to achieve due to how long this war had been going on and how many lives were lost in this conflict. By this quote from the final lines of the Second Inaugural Address by Lincoln, “With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gave us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation’s wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan - to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves, and with all nations,” Lincoln showed his true emotion and feelings about the war. He wanted nothing but peace.

Thus, the slaves were happy to be alive, but the slave owners felt like their liberty was taken away (Lincoln). President Lincoln had to make the best decision for the country, even if he did not satisfy the interests of both groups. Presidents should not appeal to majorities nor minorities, but overall, make the best decision for the country as seen with George Washington, as well as Abraham Lincoln. Each knew what was best in the end and that is what made him a great leader. If the government continues to apply filters of consent, prevent majority factions, and let the president make their own verdicts for the country, we will all be better

Standish led several missions and raids and served as a distinguished Indian fighter and negotiator. Further down the road more defensive installments were added: Standish and William Bradford facilitated the making of “a massive, sap-dripping, bark-peeling boundary between [the pilgrims] and the surrounding forest” with a wall. They then built a fort that could hold all of Plymouth in case of emergency. In coming to a new and unknown land there was bound to be danger, and having only 102 people, the Pilgrims couldn’t afford to lose men because of weak defense. They worked hard to make the defense in Plymouth sufficient and they were able to “discourage future Indian threat,” and lost few men to the native tribes in the first few years.

Olaf’s home is on the soil he has farmed all his life, it is where he finds comfort and he feels confident about himself while there, but he does not enjoy going into town because it is where his wife was not accepted. Antaeus is the same way. He gets his power and strength from the ground, and without it he loses the battle. Olaf’s farm was an important part of his life.

This notion of self-help and self-improvement began in James’ family with his great-great-uncle, Oscar Gaines, when he escaped his duties as a young laborer in Savannah, GA. Oscar managed to find a job chopping cotton for a white man who was not bothered by his skin color (McBride 45). The story of old Oscar Gaines would surface for generations to come in the Gaines/Brown family as a story of courage and self-improvement. While James Brown’s father Joe did his best to take care of his son, he could not raise him all alone. Similar to most families that parted ways during the post emancipation era, Joe Brown looked to the strong women of his family to help care for brown (McBride 48).
