United States was going through a lot of social changes. One of the major trends was the widespread use of illicit drugs. The most common drugs used were hallucinogens, marijuana and LSD. Two men, Timothy Leary and Ken Kesey, were known as "the so-called acid gurus" of the sixties. They helped gain the recognition of LSD seemingly overnight. Leary and Kesey made very public exploitations and wrote many books to explain and vilify this phenomenon. It all happened so suddenly and soon after young men
the North and South. Northerners admired John Brown and his cause and called him a “martyr for the sacred cause of freedom,” (Danzer), even going to the extent to mourn his death and fired gun salutes at the news of his execution. Southerners, on the other hand, were outraged. Southern whites began to assault anybody who had anti-slavery views and mobs sprang up all over the South.

‘Before the Second World War, I believed in the perfectibility of social man’ until war showed ‘what one man could do to another. I am not talking of one man killing another with a gun, or dropping a bomb on him...I am thinking of the vileness beyond all words that went on, year after year, in totalitarian states.’ Jews were exterminated.

However, the sins his two ungrateful daughters committed against him far outweighed
