The general argument made by David Herbert Donald in Why the War Came: The Sectional Struggle over Slavery in the Territories is that the issue of slavery in the national territories started the Civil War. More specifically, Donald argues that the Kansas-Nebraska Act, crafted by Stephen A. Douglas, revived the issue of slavery in the territories and divided the nation into hostile sections which turned the great forces that once cement American unity into a tool that further divided the nation. Donald points out that North detested slavery to the conception of slavery as being un-American and was the main reason why the South was lagging behind. In order to abolish slavery, the North, who held the majority in the national government, acted on the regulation of national territories. The national territories were one of the few areas that the North could act against slavery since they did not have power over slavery within the states it existed.

This book written by Jim Powell asks a series of questions that express how President Woodrow Wilson made choices that ultimately lead to Hitler, Lenin, and Stalin, and biggest of all, World War II. Powell says that when Wilson gave in to the pressure to unleash the power of The United States on Germany, he undermined efforts to develop a viable German republic. Wilson said that it was necessary for the U.S. to join the war because it was a national duty to make the world safe for democracy however, because of the way the U.S. entered the war under such hard conditions on Germany and feeding in to other ruler’s selfish and revengeful ideals it did the exact opposite. When the guilt clause was giving to Germany it destroyed the German economy allowing Hitler to come in and take

Chris Hedges, a former war correspondent, has a memory overflowing with the horrors of many battlefields and the helplessness of those trapped within them. He applies this memory to write War Is a Force That Gives Us Meaning, where he tutors us in the misery of war. To accomplish this goal, Hedges uses impactful imagery, appeals to other dissidents of war and classic writers, and powerful exemplification. Throughout his book, Hedges batters the readers with painful and grotesque, often first-hand, imagery from wars around the globe. He begins the book with his experience in Sarajevo, 1995.
War, something that sounds so cliché yet endeavours a greater meaning; a meaning of finding your true self within yourself, and seeing your natural, brave or mediocre side. The concept of bravery and heroic men is often the label associated with war; however, in Timothy Findley’s The Wars, it is in fact the exact opposite. The Wars is an anachronistic example of what one goes through both physically and mentally. Findley accurately portrays the protagonist, Robert Ross, as a naïve nineteen year old who wishes to escape his excruciating feelings of reality for being held accountable for Rowena’s death by enlisting into war, as well as to adhere to societal norms. Robert is an incompetent young boy that achieves most of his knowledge of war from

The radio broadcast was more effective in creating fear of the unknown than the novel itself. Though the novel went into extensive detail of the vile alien that crawled out of that pit, the broadcast went further, and used voices and sound effects to make it seem as if it was occurring at that very moment. In fact, it was so successful in creating the element of fear that those who listened to it genuinely believed it was a warning for an alien invasion. Although H.G Wells' version of War of Worlds captured the best overall description of the alien, which invoked its own sense of fear, he relied solely on the alien itself to create fear of the unknown rather than introduce other elements. Orson Welles, however, used the advantage he had of
