In the story of Robin Hood, Robin stole, but only from the rich so that he could give to the poor. He justified the sin of theft by claiming he had the good intentions of helping the poor.

However, the question still remains to this day, was the US justified in going to war with Mexico? Justified means to have good reason or be right about a decision.

The Civil War was a dark time in America’s history. Many causes led up to the gruesome fight that affected America forever. The North and South’s animosity created a large gap between the two. Eventually the South seceded, breaking the union. They became the Confederacy, and the North and South began to anticipate a horrific battle. The Civil war lasted four ghastly years.
