Analysis Of What This Cruel War Was Over By Chandra Manning

176 Words | 1 Pages

In chapter one, Lincoln and Liberty, of Chandra Manning’s What This Cruel War Was Over, (2007), Manning explains that although there were many reasons for why a solider white or black, Union or Confederate, slavery was the ultimate cause of the Civil War. At first Manning lists all the reasons soldiers from certain backgrounds enlisted but then she shows how those reasons were connected to slavery or how slavery very quickly became the reason someone was fighting. She does this in order to show the reader that slavery affected everyone is some way or another and that is why it became the main cause of the war.

What They Fought For Chapter Summaries

156 Words | 1 Pages

In chapter one of What They Fought For, I learned about the letters and diaries of the Confederate soldiers. The themes of the letters were home-sickness, lack of peace, and the defense of home against their invading enemy. The thought of soldiers fighting for their homes and being threatened by invaders, made them stronger when facing adversity. Many men expressed that they would rather die fighting for a cause, than dying without trying and this commitment showed patriotism. Throughout the letters, soldiers claimed their reason for fighting, was for the principles of Constitutional liberty and self-government.

Analysis Of Catiline's War, The Jugurthine War

823 Words | 4 Pages

The book titled Catiline’s War, The Jugurthine War, Histories was originally written in Latin by Gaius Sallustius Crispus. This translated piece of literature is unique because it is written in the perspective of someone during this particular time in history and, also, because it is separated into three topical parts or sections. The first part of the book is dedicated to the notes, history, and events leading up to the wars. Sallust’s second part is about Catiline’s War, thus, leaving the third section to the Jugurthine War. All three parts combine to create a piece of historical documentation that describes the everyday environment or lifestyle in the Roman Empire.

Analysis Of The Trojan Women

765 Words | 4 Pages

The goal of the 415 BCE play, The Trojan Women was to discourage war in the ancient Mediterranean world. The play showed the hardships that came with war in an attempt to end violent conflict. The same can be said about the 1971 film. The cinematized version of the play was released amidst the peak of Vietnam protest and aimed to show, yet again, the consequences of war. The film is one of the more interesting war films because its main characters are not the soldiers, but the people affected by the loss that war brought them.

Summary Of Joyce Tyldesley's Daughters Of Isis

1135 Words | 5 Pages

The style of living in the dynastic period may seem thoroughly impossible to imagine or relate to, yet surprisingly society in the Ancient World may not have been as abstract as believed. The book Daughters of Isis by Joyce Tyldesley paints a vivid image of the characteristics of life for women in Ancient Egypt; the book delves into the various roles women played in Ancient Egyption society to show how Ancient Egyption women were an anomaly in the Ancient World. The book covers in depth all aspects of life for women in Ancient Egypt: marriage, domestic work, beauty, and religion. I believe that Tyldesley’s book is a masterful compilation, equitably balanced between all the trivial and significant details that fashioned the lives of women in Ancient Egypt. Upon my first attempt of reading the book, I was immediately overwhelmed with the plethora of names of Egyptian Kings and jargon that filled the pages of the book, and at once knew that Tyldesley wrote the book in a didactic manner.
