Brian Bauersfeld Book Review of: The Massacre at El Mozote The Massacre at El Mozote is a brilliant piece of writing that illustrates mankind’s brutal way of life, and the recklessness of Latin American countries, while questioning the United States’ lack of intervention during the end of the Cold War. Mark Danner’s first addition of The Massacre at El Mozote was published in the United States by Vintage Books in 1994 and it consists of 304 pages costing $15.00. This book takes the reader through the reasoning, planning, killings, and aftermath of the destruction of Salvadorian civilians, hamlets, and cities by Salvadorian army forces. The book demonstrates in detail the multitude and severity of the killings along with eyewitness accounts of the killings from survivors at El Mozote. Danner worked to illustrate the story from a variety of viewpoints, including how the United States came into the picture, how the guerilla rebel forces reacted to the mass killings of civilians by the Salvadorian army, along with how all of these relationships interacted with one other.
This writing was so detailed in the horrible mistreatments of the slaves that, he began to be accused of treason of his own country. His brutal descriptions of the slave’s treatment seem to prove his motives positive. It seems that he wants others to be disgusted by these wrong doings, just as he was. It is said in his writing, The Very Relation of the Devastation of the Indies, “And the Christians, with their horses and swords and pike began to carry out massacres and strange cruelties against them. They attacked the towns and spared neither the children nor the aged nor pregnant women nor women in childbed, not only stabbing them and dismembering them but cutting them into pieces as if dealing with sheep in the slaughter house”(37).
Rise to Rebellion Savannah Jones AP US History Rise to Rebellion is a historical fiction book about the American Revolution, and all of the events leading up to it. This book is special because instead of just telling it like it is, Jeff Shaara gives us readers the opportunity to figuratively live our lives through the minds of different characters throughout the story. Some may say that this all started because of the Boston Massacre, but honestly there were multiple events leading up to the American Revolution. The first event leading up to the American Revolution is, in fact, the Boston Massacre. It all started out when a soldier was attacked by a group of angry rebels, who challenge the soldiers to fire into the crowd.
Was Abraham Lincoln a Racist? Most Americans know Abraham Lincoln as the man on the five dollar bill, or the person seated in a memorial in Washington D.C., however, his fame mostly came from freeing slaves during the Civil War. Before the war even began, people got the impression through Lincoln’s speeches and writings that he was a racist. It is important for Americans to realize he was not a racist through the views of the majority Caucasian population toward slavery and African Americans, the political statements and actions of Abraham Lincoln towards slavery and African Americans, and Lincoln’s actions and statements regarding slavery and African Americans during the Civil War. Before the Civil War even began the Caucasian population had some views towards slavery and African Americans.
“The Massacre” by Mary Rowlandson is a classic of puritans’ literature. The three topics that make this work by Rowlandson puritans’ literature are genre, style, and content the puritan religion and their traditions also affect their writing style and these three concepts. Genre plays on important role in puritan writing. By puritans’ definition, genre is a diary, history, journal to record events as God’s working.

David Walker – The Appeal (418) A freed black who published “Walker’s Appeal”; Declared “America is more our country than whites-we enriched it with our blood and tears.” “Slaves should cut their master’s throats”…”Kill or be Killed”24. Frederick Douglass (419) - The greatest African-American abolitionists of all, born a slave in Maryland, he escaped to Massachusetts in 1838.

Amistad (420) - Africans destined for slavery took over the ship and attempted to return to Africa but the U.S. navy seized the ship and treated them as pirates. The Africans were declared free in 1841(one reason being that the slave trade was illegal by then), and anti slavery groups funded their passage back to Africa.26.
For his battlefield he chose the fortress-ringed city of Verdun, a position, he correctly believed, so essential to the French that France would fight to the last man to hold it. He hoped to lure French forces into the narrow, dangerous salient, laughter them with artillery fire and thus “bleed France to death.” He was the first commander to state clearly that the aim of an offensive was attrition though he did not tell his field army commander, the Crown Prince, this. On February twenty-first, the German barrage began and for the next ten months both sides threw soldiers and shells at each other in a nightmare of death. The German Army bled as well. As Verdun was a symbol of life for France, it's fall became a moral necessity for the prestige of the German Army.
Initially, the Fascist Guardia Civil (the Fascist Army) arrive at her village to kill all supporters of the Republicans – hence the killing of Maria’s father. Other supporters of Maria’s father are killed, including Maria’s mother, who was not explicitly supportive of the Republicans, but shouted “Long live my husband”14 before she was shot. The presence of the Guardia Civil provides a more official, detached and “orderly” nature to the initial violence. Indeed, Maria describes the Guardia Civil “leaning against their rifles” and “waiting to shoot more”15. The imagery of the Guardia Civil “leaning against their rifles” suggests the normalization of violence in war, and thus by extension the detached and ritualistic nature of the executions.
