Personalities, ambitions and emotions also played a big part in effective they were in the field, as well as their interactions with other officers.
In 1861, ideological divisions between the north and the south exploded dividing the county with the inauguration of Abraham Lincoln.

He would divide the Confederate states by blazing a path through the middle of them, foraging and destroying anything of military importance to the Confederates.

Malcom X once said, “Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today.” This quotation means that education is an important thing, and we should prepare for our future.

Since the beginning of writing, literature has played a pivotal role in shaping the history of the world. The same holds true when referring to the early American history topic of slavery. Many abolitionists wrote in hopes that their views will persuade people in America to take a stand against slavery. While there were many authors that led the anti-slavery movement, the most successful writers were the slaves that lived through this atrocious time period and were able to recall their experiences.

To begin, at the start of this story Paley tells the reader, “Some boys are very tough. They're afraid of nothing.” (Paley) By using the words brave and tough, Paley conveys to the reader what characteristics Samuel and his friend esteem and desire to possess. She goes on to say, “They are the ones who climb a wall and take a bow at the top. Not only are they brave on the roof, but they create plenty of noise in the darkest part of the cellar where even the super hates to go. They also jiggle and hop on the platform between the locked doors of the subway cars.” (Paley) Additionally, by connecting the words brave and tough, Paley gives the reader an idea of Samuel and his friends mindset that day. The language that Paley uses makes the reader question if their goal in jumping on the train was an opportunity to be brave in a way that was attainable to them.
