Could the United States have become half-slave and half-free and not fought the Civil War...Why or Why not? The United States could not have been half-slave and half-free without fighting the Civil War. I say this because the North and South had quite a bit of things going on between the two.

Monta and I were closer than I believe my husband and I were‚ literally. We did everything together‚ as our kids were the same age and we just happened to live in the same neighborhood with just two houses between us.

We were total opposites in every way; I expect this was why

However‚ if one sees it from a different perspective‚ it’s obvious that Creon is the victim of fate and his own flaws‚ making him a tragic hero. His first misfortune was to fall from the grace of his people when saying that Antigone should die for her actions. "Your people are beginning to question your judgment and are beginning to side with Antigone." (256-257) This scene is very ironic! Creon is actually trying
