MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL DEVIL Money seems to be the driving force in many people’s lives. However‚ I do not agree that money is the root of all evil. Money in itself is harmless. It is but a medium of exchange in trade. it is the love of money that can lead to evil. Money becomes a person’s master if that person values material possessions above everything else. Many people do not realize that they are enslaved by money. However‚ you know they are when making money is the top priority in

Lost Cause? Not in Lincoln The movie Lincoln‚ directed by Steven Spielberg‚ is a good representation of Civil War history with major emphasis on emancipation and the Thirteenth Amendment. One thing to notice is that this recent movie does not jump onto the Confederate Lost Cause bandwagon like many of the older movies I saw in the past.

WEEK FIVE- Lincoln and the Lost Cause Last week Lincoln was a patron saint‚ but in this week’s readings‚ anywhere from one to four decades after his assassination‚ the white southerners have denounced him a despot. Never before in our readings have we seen this view of Lincoln discussed‚ and it seems to me that they are blaming everything on Lincoln in order to scape goat all off the problems they had caused (did not want to admit they were at fault). They even go as far to say that Lincoln should
