I am very intrigued by the arguments that are mentioned by Angeline Grimke'. These are perspectives that I have not considered other than the morality aspect situation. I do like the way that she compares America, where we enslave men, women, and children but even in Africa they would be free. Not only free but have many more inalienable rights in such a poor, egregious country, in my opinion of the times anyway. But here in the land of the free they can't control one single facet of their life. And how exactly does a person being born in America, that is as American as George Washington, lose his rights because one man says so and believes that he is subservient in nature. I would not have done well back then. The ignorance that they posses is devastatingly incredible. That total lack of consideration for other people and human life is utterly despicable. To think that the men could not even get it figured out. It was such a long lasting debate that women had to get involved and try to speak some sort of since to these so called men. I know it is a different time but I am unable to fathom treating someone so horribly. I am glad it is a different time!

In the early foundations of our country people were way more desperate than today. Today we are a spoiled society with every human desire at a touch of a button away. I could hardly even begin to grasp how excruciatingly torturous it must have been to have no control of any faucets of life, so I won't necessarily get into that but this great desperation for freedom would get the best of the best. I have always thought that the early days of America had a great amount of divine assistance and inspiration. There were great evils that people were numb to that needed to come into the light and people needed to overcome. There is today as well but for the most part everyone has a much more in tune moral compass guiding our paths. There is a good chance that this was truly one of those divine inspirations. Or did the desperation simply manifest a purpose of convenience. I'm sure it wasn't hard to get a group of neglected mistreated slaves to rebel. I do know that people spent a lot more time seeking God and speaking to God. It is intertwined constantly through our constitution and founding fathers thoughts. Always seeking guidance for the next act of God. We probably wouldn't be free if not for these acts of God that are used as the reasons. Just like the slaves seeking there freedom and using the same reasoning.

Edwards sermons moved the people he was preaching to. His imagery he used within each sermon gave great descriptions for people to relate and see themselves as the human sinners they were. His description of the fire and the possibility of burning opened the peoples eyes to their very demise. He had a doom and gloom approach to preaching. He wanted to show people the amount of pain associated with hell to hopefully persuade them to open their heart to salvation through Christ. This was a time when religion was not a prevalent practice for many. They vaguely knew of Christianity. Edwards depicted humans as forever sinners and not worthy of being saved or of God's grace. He wanted people to understand that now was the very moment to act because there would be no mercy once ones death is amongst them. He wanted to preach to them that every day that took another breath was one more day they were spared by God. Edwards method of preaching of HELL over heaven brought fear to the people. Forgiveness is not automatic it must be earned.
