Robert E Lee North And South
589 wordsSome people believe that Robert E. Lee did not have that much influence on the South. They believe that he was a just a great general and that he didn't have much impact on the Confederate states. These people must have been from the North because General Robert E.

The Civil War Of Rome

Caesar took this into consideration, but too many things were going wrong in Rome for him not to begin the war. The first of many problems was the collapse of the Triumvirate. The Triumvirate was one of the mai...

Almost by itself this line justifies Frosts own characterization of the poem as being " about Revolutionary War, " rather than, in a more general way, about the forming of a spiritual commitment to the land.
