The North and South benefited in many different ways, and both sides would use dissimilar approaches. The Southerners were fighting for a way of life they believed in. Comparing the two, the North had an extensive amount of people which made it easier to establish armies. In the beginning, the Union army only consisted of 16,000 soldiers or less. Southerners deserted the army because they didn’t have the things they needed for fig...
In the novel Grand Avenue. Greg Sarris uses the theme thread of poison to connect all of his separate stories about the Toms’, a Pomo Indian family. He proves that the roots of a family are the basis which gives the family its structure, even if those roots are bad. In the Toms’ family they’re roots were poisoned from the very founding of the family starting with Sam Toms’. His poison was not the fact that he tried to steal a married woman away, but that he was filled with secrets, deceptions, and self hatred. His family was founded on these poisened roots and passes the poisen down generation after gerneration. The only way to stop the poison, or inner self hatred taken out in other forms, was to let go of past and talk about the secrets and lies. Once a person does this they are able to learn from their mistake , in a sense the break free from the poison. If Sam Toms’ , the founder or root of the family,would have broken free of his poisen by talking about his mistake he made, his whole family per haps would have turned out completely different. As a result of his secrets and lies his family was rasied to make the same immoral desisions as he made throughout his life. His family, like Sam, didn't take responcilblity for their mistakes, which spread the poison onto the next generation. Tracing the poison throughout the Tom’s beginning at the roots, shows just how important the roots indeed are.
"If wars are won by riches, there can be no question why the North eventually prevailed." The North was better equipped than the South, with the resources necessary to be successful in a long term war like the Civil War was, which was fought from 1861 1865. Prior, and during the Civil war, the North's economy was always stronger than the South's, boasting of resources that the Confederacy had no means of attaining. Compared to the South, The North had more factories available for production of war supplies and larger amounts of land for growing crops. Its population was several times of the South's, which was a potential source for military enlistees. Although the South had better naval leadership and commanders, such as Robert E. Lee and "Stonewall" Jackson, they lacked the number of factories and industries to produce needed war materials. Therefore, the North won the American Civil War due to the strength of their industrialized economy, rather than their commanders and strategies.
Approaching the auditorium from outside, one can see clearly what is on the inside due to the large glass windows and doors that cover about half of the front view of the building. In the large lobby, there are bathrooms, drinking fountains, the ticket office, and doors that lead to the hallway to the auditorium. This hallway has a fork, giving the people who enter the choice of entering the auditorium on the left or right side. When the hallway ends, there are seats that seem never ending, even though there are only about 1500 seats. The seats are split into two tiers, a lower tier and an upper tier. The lower tier is the main level and is close to the stage, while the upper tier is a mezzanine with stairs that lead to the rows of seats, with the seats farthest from the stage being the highest seats in the auditorium. Within each tier, there are three sections: left, middle, and right. The left and right are angled to the stage, while the middle section is parallel with the front of the stage. These separate sections allow for easy access to the seats because there are aisles on both left and right of every section o...
Initially, we had a hard time finding our seats but once discovered the game was quite entertaining and sensational. As was previously stated, we had a hard time finding out seats and yet, I couldn’t help but ponder what aspect of kinesiology the ushers were failing to accomplish by sending us from one place to another thus, the ushers were part of the sports management aspect. Anyhow, once our seats had been located it was off to the vendors to find a nutritiou...
First, the South couldn’t have won the civil war because state’s rights prevented unification of the South. The very issue that created the Confederacy helped to destroy it. In waging war, the South faced problems of politics and government that greatly complicated its problem of economic mobilization. No one would deny the troublesome effect of the conflict generated by differing ideas of how best to protect liberty and to organize southern society for the war effort. Southern people insisted upon retaining their democratic liberties in wartime, which proved fatal for the South. They had to struggle with a “confederacy formed by particularistic politicians [that] could hardly be expected to adopt promptly those centralists polices which victory demanded” (Donald, p. 26). Individual state governors fought bitterly with Jefferson Davis to prevent him from consolidating power to fight the war. They withheld troops and supplies while the Confederate Congress spent its time arguing over the rights of the states instead of prosecuting a war of national survival. Many internal conflicts within the South were acquiring and weakening the South’s unity. Internal conflicts caused confederate officials to choose between moving troops from the coasts and strengthening their armies, or leaving the...

Abstract: The Stadium construction boom continues, and taxpayers are being forced to pay for new high tech stadiums they don’t want. These new stadiums create only part-time jobs. Stadiums bring money in exclusively for professional leagues and not the communities. The teams are turning public money into private profit. Professional leagues are becoming extremely wealthy at the taxpayers expense. The publicly-funded stadium obsession must be put to a stop before athletes and coaches become even greedier. New stadiums being built hurt public schools, and send a message to children that leisure activities are more important than basic education. Public money needs to be used to for more important services that would benefit the local economy. Stadiums do not help the economy or save struggling towns. There are no net benefits from single purpose stadiums, and therefore the stadium obsessions must be put to a stop.

John states, “the world did not recognize him.”1 The world at the time was blinded by the darkness. People were wrapped up in darkness which resulted in clouded vision of their true creator. Verse 11 states that creation did not receive its own creator. Due to the darkness and sin people did not accept Christ and rejected him for bringing people out of darkness. John Calvin in The Gospel According to John 1-10 says, “The Son of God had chosen a dwelling place for Himself in one nation; when He appeared there, He was rejected. And this shows clearly how vicious is men’s blindness.”4 The world at the time referred to the population of people that did not believe, which looked primarily at the Jews. Jews struggled to see God in the flesh, which resulted in non believers in Christ. This continued to be a problem as Paul struggled to believe as well. John Calvin also pointed out, “This is why we see Paul struggling so hard with this same problem (Calvin).” He is referring to being blinded by darkness. Even though man was seeing God in the flesh, the light needed power in fighting the darkness, due to sin and
One of the biggest disadvantages, socially, to the North during the Civil War was the inadequate role of military roles. The North did not have military generals that were aggressive enough to do what should and had to be done to win the war. Consequently, this point was so obvious shortly after the start of the war that President Lincoln, according to the New York Times, “began to display an almost intuitive display of understanding.” He was understanding of the disadvantage his less-than-aggressive generals was posing on his side of the battlefield. President Lincoln’s opinions of his generals could have cost them their victory.The social advantage that the North had during the Civil War was that they greatly outnumbered the Confederate States. The North was made up of 18.5 million people. This was compared to the mere 9 million occupants of the South. The soldiers of the North outnumbered the soldiers of the South 2 to 1. This meant that the North had more men to fight, more men to help, and more people to defeat before the team as a whole would be
Compared to the North’s strategies the South had weak ideas because the South main plan was to keep a defensive front and for most of the war the south strategies was simply to prevent the North from gaining territory and the hope to break the Union 's will to fight. However, the South’s strategy was unsuccessful versus the North war strategy which was the Anaconda Plan. The Anaconda Plan was created to 1. Blockade the South 2. Split the confederacy gaining control over the Mississippi River and 3. Capture the Confederate capital, Richmond. Yet even though the Anaconda Plan was a success during war the north adapted other strategies such as the idea to prevent the European powers, especially Great Britain and France from extending recognition and giving assistance to the Confederacy. The North advantage was not just how well the strategies well planned and effective but, the North’s advantage was also due to the argument been fought over during the Civil war such as that fact that the North was fighting against slavery and the South was fighting in favor of slavery which that argument alone caused some difficulties in army strategies such as obtaining alliance. Obtaining alliances was very difficult for the South to gain and hold because many states did not want to get involve due to the slavery issue. The alliance strategy however was not as hard of a request for the North to obtain in fact that was actually one of the strategies’ they adopted to obtain the loyalty of the border states: Maryland, Delaware, Kentucky, Missouri and West Virginia which, would eventually benefit them due to the issue that if they wanted to fight the war on Southern soil it meant the North would have to march through hostile border states reason why obtaining alliance’s was a very important strategy to hold during
"It appears, that of all the apostle John was especially favoured with our Lord's regard and confidence, so as to be called the disciple whom Jesus loved" (Peoples Bible-John 1). Even though John loved his leader so much, he still ran away like the other disciples did when Jesus was arrested. John was still their when Jesus had his trial and was crucified. Jesus also in trusted John with the care of his mother. John was there with Jesus when he would perform all of his great miracles. On of the famous lines from John is "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God" (Peoples Bible- John 6). John was the spiritual evangelist. John and his brother James were called the Sons of Thunder.
The Gospel of John depicts Jesus not only as the son of God, but as the Word. The Word is God, thus Jesus is God in flesh. Jesus, the Word incarnate, was sent with a purpose, to shed light into the world. John 1:14 describes this light as the “grace and truth,” within Jesus. Yet, John 1:14, also depicted Jesus as a God, who “lived among us,” and through incarnate life showed the world “glory,” possible only through “a father’s only son.” John 1:14 functions by, one demonstrating Jesus as God (incarnate) and by two discussing the gifts only capable by Jesus. The christology reiterated within the quote, the belief of an incarnate God, echoes throughout the rest of the
This light of Life is a major spiritual significance, and a central to the Gospel but is only possible because man was created as a spiritual being. This is significant that John concludes his Gospel with a reminder of creation when Jesus Breaths on His disciples to pass on the Holy Spirit reflecting the way God breathed into man to create a living soul just like in the first interpretation.
