with her pro-feminist ideas. As a direct result

mentors like Atwood, feminism became the rage. As
the interest in women's rights heightened, so did
the tolerance and need for more strongly biased
and feminist sided articles of literature. In

spread throughout the south and the Confederate
Army had shrunk extremely in size. In the year

The Controversy of Capital Punishment (Revision)
In my opinion, capital punishment is a
controversial issue. This topic is constantly
being debated. Some people believe that capital
punishment is beneficial to society while others
posit that it is detrimental to society. I think
that the abolishment of the death penalty would be
favorable to the atmosphere, which we inhabit.
Although this issue can get intense, I think it is
solvable. There are many benefits present on the

Compromise Of 1850 Expansion Of Slavery

From 1800 to 1850 territorial expansion tore the
United States apart. Territorial expansion itself
was not a debated issue. Spurred by the concept of
Manifest Destiny, almost everyone believed that
America should extend from sea to shining sea and

expansion of slavery into the new territories that
pitted the North against the South and split our
nation apart. The first real crisis over
territorial expansion took place in 1819 - 1821
