- 451: The Symbol Of The South
- ... South to have won the war, but we should respect and uphold the men who fought so bravely for their cause. The mistaken idea that the Civil War was about slavery is one of the many causes that the flag's right to be above the capitol is questioned. This mistaken idea often causes problems between the races of this state. Slavery was wrong. I would never try to justify it, because it can not be justified. It was simply wrong, God made us all equal. A human being was never intended to be treated like an animal, animals even were not meant to be treated like slaves. Slavery is a sensitive area, but the flag does not reflect this. The war was about the South's right to make it's own laws, and to be free ...

- ... of an ideal one. He did not want Aunt Sally to adopt or "sivilize" him as his adventures came to an end. Jim's idea of freedom was freedom from slavery and oppression.

- ... claim that this denial of love, in the form of marriage, is a form of discrimination. These gay rights' activists claim that this denial of love is similar to when slavery was being defended, women's voting rights were being denied, or even more specifically and more related, the anti-miscegenation laws of a few decades back. This is clearly an ... comparing the struggle for same-sex unions to several notable, if not the most notable, equality struggles in the history of the United States. The comparison to the defense of slavery or the denial of women's voting rights by gay right's groups is simply unfounded.

- ... improved the lifestyles and longevity of almost every individual. Within the last two hundred years, we have seen two World Wars, and countless disputes over false borders created by colonialists, slavery, and every horrid form of human suffering imaginable!

While our grandparents and ancestors were growing-up, do you think that they ever ... enslavement of chimney sweepers, during Blake’s time, was a horrid inhumanity to children. Great Britain and other western nations would like to praise themselves for abolishing this sort of slavery. However, the inhumanity of child enslavement is more true today than in the seventeen and eighteen hundreds. The sin of enslavement is even more heightened, because neocolonialism and multinational corporations have moved their inhumane business practices to developing countries, where they may take advantage of the desperation and poverty of those are as. In addition, the disturbing images of slavery are hidden from westerners who respect the success of multinational corporations. Yes, Blake’s poem is very relevant today.

Uncle Tom's Cabin, by Harriet Beecher Stowe was written during an era where white people were in denial that slavery was harmful to the black race. The novel was an eye opener for many whites.

- ... equal. This gets interpreted as all white men are created equal. In having such frame of mind, civilians began disputing. Not for the equal rights primarily, but for the unlawful slavery that was occurring.
