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. I believe Manning is successful in showing the relation between slavery and the soldiers fighting for its continuation or its end. Manning
sion, Lizzie had several reasons to kill her stepmom and dad. The crime scene is another thing that hints Lizzie killed her stepmom and dad. For example, the placement of them is very weird. Andrew was laying on a couch with 11 whacks to his face; Abby was found lying in the floor with 18 whacks to her face, but everything around them was in place (Linder, 2004).
Are you a believer that most of the things in life are caused by ongoing environmental issues? To counteract or prevent the effects of despair one needs to do something that is to be in action so that we are not in sorrow tomorrow. Don’t allow despair. Instead, do something about it. In “Despair Not” by Sandra Steingraber she mentions what is happening on our planet and what is happening to our bodies also.
In this article, it mainly focuses in on the case of Sandra Bland. Her death occurred in a Texas county jail cell, which reacted from a suicide. Her family didn 't know what really went on, but they assumed that the Law Enforcement did not seem to care about what happened to Sandra. Sandra was not the only one who was in police custody because Kindra Chapman was as well. After reading this article, I feel like there are some jails that give the opportunity of inmates to find a way on killing themselves.

Michelle Alexander in the first chapter, reviews the history of racial social control in the United States. She describes the different forms and patterns of the racial caste system. The author maintains that the racial prejudice and hierarchy has been sustained as a result of the insecurities of the lower-class whites. Her main point was that "racial segregation would soon evolve into a new caste system" (p. 40). Alexander explains that even though slavery ended after the Civil War, it left a big impact on the American community.
Chandra Manning expresses her interpretations in What this Cruel War was Over through analyzing soldiers’ journals and letters home. Throughout the content of the book, Manning effectively establishes why each soldier fought. She clearly defines the differences each confederate, white Union and African-American Union soldier believed and how those beliefs changed throughout the war. Manning also efficiently defines the similarities with the soldiers by using the commonality of liberty and patriotism, and what those ideals meant to each solider. Manning describes the Confederate troops’ initial motive as protecting manhood, family concerns, and self interests.
In 2010, WikiLeaks released Iraq War Logs that revealed a compilation of hidden documents about the war in Afghanistan as well as a map that tracked thousands of unexplained Iraqi deaths. WikiLeaks has exposed the secret terror behind the Afghanistan war and has even uncovered the inhumane treatment prisoners received in the Guantanamo Bay detention camp.

To respond to both Mary Katherine and Emma Grace... Mary Katherine, I believe the first part of your critique of Emma Grace's post is misplaced. If I am correct, the first two lines of your second paragraph in your response suggests that Emma Grace came to the conclusion that the ascetic life is one that lacks work. Considering Emma Grace says the following " But is he calling them not to work? Absolutely not" and ends her post with "It seems that Jesus is calling people to work," I first thought I had misread your post.
The Article kept true to the facts but Mark Felt was a hero, a patriot an original Edward Snowden who did the right thing even against something that was bigger than
In the story “13 and a half “by rachel vail the main character is invited to go to ashley house. The Main character at that time doesn’t know ashley as much. There only connection was sitting next to each other in math class. Unlikely as it is the main character still said yes to her invitation. In the beginning of the story the main character perspective on ashley was pompous and selfish but later towards the end of the story she believed that ashley is also humble and thankful .
Edward Snowden was the former National Security Agency or "spy". Despite his job flaws, Snowden was able to expose the government. By exposing the government, he told the citizens of United States that the government is stalking anyone through text messages, emails, and the location of the phones. Although he broke the law by stealing confidential information, his actions of exposing the government was because he believed that people had a right to know all the things the government were hiding away from them. Edward Snowden has the right to be called a hero because he exposed the government in a good way, defended the amendment to privacy, and because he defended the people while risking his own life and his own job.
He put his whole life and career at risk by being a whistleblower. He was able to divulge to the public the illegal activities of the NSA in the collection of many private information transmitted through the internet. His intention was to inform everyone about the violation of the NSA in the rights of every internet user for freedom. This so-called “internet- and telecommunications-liberty” was deprived when the US government launched the PRISM
This also shows that WikiLeaks will publish almost anything. WikiLeaks would not be what it is today without their founder and leader Julian
