The book I read was The Warriors Heart‚ a true story about Eric Greitens life. The story mostly follows Greitens as he serves as a US navy seal. The main conflicts are talking about the Rwandan Genocide and the refugees in Rwanda to Bosnia and then the War in Iraq..

instead of attending a diversity event for this paper‚ I watched a documentary on Netflix called 13th.

Even though the 13th Amendment is less applicable to later controversies than its counterparts‚ the 13th Amendment has the greatest impact on post-Civil War America.

WP3 Body Extra 2 Claim: The 13th amendment is unproductive because law abiding citizens are monetarily funding a prison workforce that does not benefit the public good.
