showing comradeship between the men “Play up! play up! and play the game!” is the school moto which will see them though life. In Tennyson’s The Charge of the Light Brigade‚ the use of the repetitious line “Rode the six hundred” at the end of each verse‚ also gives a feel of pride and comradeship.

While the Old Testament verse Leviticus 25:44-46 was crucial in the biblical slavery debates‚ other verses were equally significant. A notable example being Exodus 21:20 which states “When a slave owner strikes a male or female slave with a rod and the slave dies immediately‚ the owner shall be punished.” Based on this verse southern proponents of slavery argued that the Bible’s acceptance of slavery was a given.
