We will be remembered in spite of ourselves. Those words were spoken by Abraham Lincoln in 1862 and they serve as a powerful warning to a congress that remained deadlocked over slavery. It remained all to ambivalent over the mothers, the fathers, the children who were enslaved across the United States. Of course, lincoln was right. Histories judgment was fierce. It was politically craven and morally corrupt politicians, editors, and Opinion Shapers Who Fought Emancipation Every Step of the way, they could not outrun histories searing grasp. 160 when theres remain marked by their actions and missions. The bibles cane, those cursed with that mark will be found guilty for centuries to come.

I dont think that i could never keep up with the pace of writing and speaking that would be required and look what he did. He made a lot of money. He turndown enormous amount of stuff. He called them potboilers. But some of them are profound. I am teaching a eight class this term on contemporary george wells and c. S. Lewis and those for people are very different people.

He had some great young man friends that persisted through life there is a man named Reggie Barnes that went to cuba with the churchill. And then to tell all of war office what was going on with the cuban people. And they became friends there. And they remained and correspondence. He was very close to w
