Perseverance leads to success through ambition and endurance. Two great examples of people who persevered in life are Ruth and Joni Eareckson Tada. Ruth, a godly woman, faced many difficulties, but achieved her goal and God’s favor with the help of perseverance. Joni Eareckson Tada used perseverance to overcome the many obstacles she faced after suffering a tragic accident that left her paralyzed. Both these women could have given up and walked away from the situations they faced, but they decided

If you ever find yourself in ocean city Maryland, you may be overwhelmed by the different types of people on the beach. The time of day you are the beach changes the entire experience itself. It can switch from a relaxing day soaking up the sun to virtually being in the middle of a beach brawl. The craziness of ocean city never appears to end. After traveling for 3-hours, my family arrived at our beach house in Ocean City Maryland. After making a quick trip for groceries, we decided to go to bed

The Civil War started because of the disagreement, of free and not free. They both wanted the right to use the national government to their advantage, and make the territory that where not states free or in favor of slavery. When Abraham Lincoln won election in 1860 he promised that he would keep the slavery out of the territories. This did not go over very well for some areas that are very southern, and farm oriented. These territories in the Deep South proceeded to succeed from the others and

In 1861 the United States witnessed a division within itself. As a result a war, better known as the Civil war, broke out due to the South’s declaration for their independence. In the beginning of the Civil war, President Lincoln's main goal was to preserve the union. Although many assumed the Civil war’s primary goal was to abolish slavery, that simply wasn't the case. The Union and the Confederacy both wanted to preserve a way of life. The difference between the Union and the confederacy, and what

The Wounded Angels Since the beginning of time we Americans have always fought for what we stand by. The Battle of Gettysburg during the Civil War is just one example; the Union was fighting to end slavery and the Confederacy was fighting to keep it. In order to fight you need people, us Americans had the choice of joining/volunteering or if not enough civilians joined there would be a draft. There will always be a price to pay when going into battle as is shown in The Killer Angels by Michael Shaara

The division between the North and the South in terms of economy, society, and ideology caused the civil war. The industrial North was afraid that the agricultural South would force America to become a slavery country. However, the South hoped to expand slavery into western territories to gain more land for plant cotton. As the North and the South had grown further apart, the war is unavoidable. The South secede from the Union because they felt their states’ right to holding slavery was threatens

This was a war in which two sides of the once great United States fought for what they believed was right. The South fought for their freedom to own slaves and the North fought to punish the slave owners and to bring the Nation back together as a whole. In the end, the North won but at a severe cost of human lives. Was it worth it? When I watched those two episodes I was surprised that the South held out for that long of time. The South was severely outnumbered but they had enough willpower to fight

“Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other.” Abraham Lincoln was possibly the most intellectual and determined man in office that our world has ever seen. With a driven passion for equality and success, it’s no wonder that you could love him; or hate him. Slavery was one of our country’s biggest disagreements in our nation. Slavery is credited by most historians to be the cause of the United States Civil War that took place over one hundred and fifty

For this PSD-A, I decided to analyze Virginia’s declaration of secession, mainly because while Virginia did become part of the Confederacy, they had conflicting opinions and were still rather ‘close’ to the Union. Virginia’s first reason is because the Federal Government has “perverted said powers.” The document also makes a point of how the Federal Government has oppressed both Virginia and the rest of the “Southern Slaveholding States.” I think there are multiple reasons for this statement. Firstly

In the year of 1864, President Lincoln was re-elected but had some struggles along the way. The Civil War dramatically affected the Union as it was split among the decision of slavery. Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation (1862), which transformed the wars purpose from the preservation of our nation into a battle for the abolition of slavery. Many Northerners did not like the idea of banishing slavery because the initial concept of the war was whether or not the president would be able to defeat
