Colonel Lloyd Slaves Talbot County Maryland Gore

Mr. Hopkins remained but a short time in the
office of overseer. Why his career was so short, I
do not know, but suppose he lacked the necessary
severity to suit Colonel Lloyd. Mr. Hopkins was
succeeded by Mr. Austin Gore, a man possessing, in
an eminent degree, all those traits of character
in dispensable to what is called a first-rate
overseer. Mr. Gore had served Colonel Lloyd, in
the capacity of overseer, upon one of the
out-farms, and had shown himself worthy of the
high station of overseer...

therefore to be avoided. Progressivists however,
argue that the content must be analyzed for
conflicting messages. Secular items of popular
culture are forbidden if messages that are
antithetical to conservative Christianity are
found. This means that...

The world is a place of chaos nowadays. At every
turn of a corner, there is desolation triggered
from humanity's sidetracked views of what the
world is about. With all this deception and
superficiality, pureness in the human soul seems
almost non-existent. Michel de Montaigne
recognizes the essential need of this purity for
the improvement of society in his Essays. Although

nature, own habits, and own opinions, he uses
these personal vignettes to il...

Aristotle's Notion of Virtue According to
Aristotle, virtue primarily involves rationality
and the use of a person's rationality. Rationality
and happiness are activities of the soul, and
virtue is the excellence of these activities.
Humans are the only life forms that have a soul,
the source of rationality. Thus, humans have a
duty to always use their intellect. Three things
are found in the soul: emotions, capacities, and
characteristics. Emotions are things humans feel,
like anguish or happin...

Mark Twain Political Cartoon

In Running for President, Mark Twain writes
sardonically of the American political process
which consists largely of investigating political
candidates for the purpose of finding weaknesses
or scandals in their past in order to defeat them
in an election. In doing so, he takes the approach
of rectum ad absurdum, i. e. taking the argument
to absurd lengths, and verbally sketches a
brilliant political cartoon whose imagery reduces
the reader to wry chuckles of recognition. Twain
starts his essay w...
