Martin Van Buren once said, “Our country presents on every side the evidences of that continued favor under whose auspices it, has gradually risen from a few feeble and dependent colonies to a prosperous and powerful confederacy.” America wouldn’t have prospered into the powerful confederacy Van Buren describes it to be without the values and ideas of America’s colonial past. America’s present is best understood to be based upon British culture and government. However, colonists fought for freedom from the suffocating British throne, they tolerated religious freedom, and their government was founded on republican views. Therefore, America’s present is constructed of values and ideas opposite of what the British taught.

In the painting, ‘Virgin and Child’, by Rogier van der Weyden, it can be observed that the artist chose to use the medium of oil on wood. Despite the fact that Rogier van der Weyden created this painting in the Netherlands and was born in Tournai, Belgium, their primary influence appeared to stem from the Italian Renaissance, which had begun to use the technique of oil paintings with increasing frequency by turn of the 15th century.

Although Jacob had committed many deceitful acts against Esau, such as tricking him in giving up his birthright to Jacob and taking Isaac’s blessing also, Jacob was not punished at all by Esau or God. For instance, in Genesis 32:35 before Jacob went to meet Esau, he is wrestling with God disguised as a man.
