John Locke Diary Analysis

The Alabama became the most successful Confederate Commerce raider; it was Capturing Union Ships at an alarming rate. Again advice from Cabinet members and Politian alike began pouring in to President Lincoln. Senator of Wisconsin Thomas Ewing writes to President Lincoln urging him once again to rethink an international war, “I would bear it in mind & make the retribution in due time terrible -- but we are in no condition now-- To declare war now” Less then a year ago, Ewing had offered similar advice in regards to the Trent Affair. The Union still could not afford to go to War with England but the could hold on to this and seek reparations in due time.

In 1863, “a great civil war” (Lincoln, 1863) was raging across the land and seas of the North American continent. Union and Confederate forces were locked in a deadly struggle for control of America’s future. Yet, despite the Union’s undeniable logistical and infrastructural advantages over the Confederacy, the war was not progressing in favour of the Union. The Confederate generals had managed to outsmart and outmaneuver the Union armies repeatedly, dealing defeat after defeat to the North, greatly demoralizing the populace. As such, the Confederates, who were fighting not to conquer the Union, but rather to survive, were inching

On the eve of the Election of 1864, God won't let Master Lincoln end this war until he does the right thing. Master Lincoln's needs to punish de south we ain't gettin justices until dem slave owners are punish. I'm negro women but this negro woman ought to tell master Lincoln that compromise would mean that all the suffering, and sacrifice of the past three and half years would be all in waste. Let Dem slave own would prevail.

On this morning Lee spoke with Longstreet, about how he would like for him to stay behind in the battle so that he would not lose him. Longstreet agreed but also brought notice to Lee about the Union cavalry was already in Gettysburg. Lee was caught by surprise; being told earlier that only militia was seen there. Lee reported that it was John Buford, and that infantry was soon to come if the cavalry was already there. Longstreet thought of taking the defensive end and waiting for Buford to attack. Lee on the other hand disagreed with the defensive tactic and wanted to attack Buford. Of course Lee was above Longstreet and would get his way.

When looking at the Declaration of Independence and the justifications which Jefferson used in order to encourage the dissolve of the ties between the United Colonies and Great Britain, it becomes apparent how much of the theories of John Locke that Jefferson used as the basis for his argument. Focusing particularly on the second paragraph of the Declaration, the arguments for the equality of each man and the formation and destruction of governments come almost directly from Locke's Second Treatise of Government. The other arguments in the Declaration of Independence deal primarily with each citizen's rights and the natural freedoms of all men, two areas that Locke also spent

Between the days April 30th and May 6, a terrible occurrence has happened in Chancellorsville. Yes, if perhaps you knew it, another battle of The Civil War wrecked havoc on the civilians of this unfortunate town. Not only this, but the Confederates won, striking terror into the hearts of slaves everywhere. This mess all started on April 30, 1863, when General Joseph Hooker, a man of the Union, was leading the V, XI, and XII corps on a campaign to mislead the Confederate soldiers left flank by crossing the Rapidian and Rappahannock rivers above Fredericksburg. But as they were passing Chancellorsville, the Confederates popped out of almost nowhere and attacked the Union soldiers. There were 154,734 total forces engaged, 97,382 Union and 57,382

Could you imagine a world with no freedom, choice of religion, and equality? I’m guessing your answer would be no. Thanks to the 17th to 18th century philosophers, they introduced these ideas to the world to make it an overall better place. There were four enlightenment philosophers and their names were John Locke, Voltaire, Adam Smith, and Mary Wollstonecraft. The philosophers all had different goals but had the same perspective and that was to make the world a better place.

With the exception of Native Americans, there is no race of people that originated in America. Yet today, we all come together under the colors of red, white and blue, sing the National Anthem and call ourselves "Americans". Despite our differences in religion, norms, values, national origins, our pasts, and our creeds, we all combine under one common denominator. Alain Locke addresses this issue of cultural pluralism in his article, "Who and What is `Negro'?" In this article, Locke states that, "There is, in brief, no `The Negro'. " By this, he means that blacks are not a uniform and unchanging body of people. He emphasizes that we, as Americans, need to mentally mature to a point where we do not view

John Locke was an english philosopher who expressed his idea of civil governments. In the documents, John Locke expresses the idea on what a civil government is formed by. John Locke describes the beginning steps to achieving a political power which is the law of nature. In the law of nature, Locke expresses how men are all free to do as they please without the consent of another man. “We must consider what estate all men are naturally in, and this is, a state of perfect freedom to order their actions, and dispose of their possessions and persons as they think fit, within the bounds of law of Nature, without asking leave of depending upon the will of any other man” (Documents 81)

When people decided to gather, communicate, and cooperate to make their livings around beasts, they also had to decide the ownerships of trophies. That was the time when the idea “property” was invented. Many wise men in the past, while thinking about a better format for people living together, argued meanings of property to people. British philosopher John Locke in his work Second Treatise of Government separates property as public goods shared by all humans and necessities for living created via labor. The value of property has changed over time, when later French philosopher Voltaire in his novel Candide, or Optimism expresses that property becomes for what people in a world where Candide lives keep fighting: land, gold, and even ownerships of women. Necessities and public goods becomes luxuries. Voltaire’s work shows this trend and it can explained by the worry about the risk of losing current living standard in the future when easily accessible things are no more available to everyone. In fact, Candide also reflects scarcity of property, a nature which Locke never mentioned. Thus Candide is a strong critique to Second Treatise of Government for the nature of property when Voltaire demonstrated scarcity in material and philosophical ways in Candide.

One parent says that 'Normal teenage stuff' is not a good enough excuse. And that suicide and depression is not a thing from years past. As a precaution students don't get the first through fourth amendment. When does flirting become a real problem? MeShelle Locke, 16, of Lacey, Wash. On Nov. 5, she was kidding around with a boy in English class at North Thurston High. He made some wisecrack to the teacher, and Locke looked at him, made a gun with her thumb and index finger, and said, "Bang." The boy, whom she often joked with, wondered if it was a threat. "No," MeShelle said lightly, "it's a promise." You would have thought she had pulled a .357 Magnum. Some girls confronted her about the "incident," and an exasperated Locke made the same

Locke and Rousseau present themselves as two very distinct thinkers. They both use similar terms, but conceptualize them differently to fulfill very different purposes. As such, one ought not be surprised that the two theorists do not understand liberty in the same way. Locke discusses liberty on an individual scale, with personal freedom being guaranteed by laws and institutions created in civil society. By comparison, Rousseau’s conception portrays liberty as an affair of the entire political community, and is best captured by the notion of self-rule. The distinctions, but also the similarities between Locke and Rousseau’s conceptions can be clarified by examining the role of liberty in each theorist’s proposed state of nature and

The Enlightenment and the Scientific Revolution caused people like Filmer, Hobbes, and Locke to apply the scientific method to study people and society as a whole. All three attempt to answer the question of who has legitimate political authority over others. In his Second Treatise of Government, Locke concludes that legitimate political power comes from the people, who consent to give up their natural rights in exchange for civil rights that are protected by the government. This social contract allows people to escape from the state of nature and live in relative freedom and safety guarded by the commonwealth. Voltaire’s Candide satirizes Locke’s model by showing the impracticality of Locke’s ideal government due to people’s abuse of power

John Locke was perhaps one of the most influential political philosophers of the modern period. In the Second Treatise of Government, John Locke discusses the move from a state of nature and perfect freedom to a then governed society in which authority is given to a legislative and executive power. His major ideas included liberalism and capitalism, state of nature, state of war and the desire to protect one’s property.

There are two sides of the Liberal Theory of Justice which are represented by John Locke and John Rawls – Locke being on the liberal side while Rawls is more on the equalitarian side. Each agrees that man is an individual with rights given to him because of his mere existence. Even though Rawls, who came later, does build on Locke and their views are quite similar, they still have some disagreements on what these rights mean and how they should be handled.
