Before the American Civil War, during slavery times, there was a series of anti-literacy laws that prohibited slaves from learning how to write or read. Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, North and South Carolina, and Virginia passed anti-literacy laws, some of them punished the person who attempted to teach slaves to read and write a fine of 100 pounds and 6 months in prison.

Because of that, once slavery was over and Reconstruction created the Freedmen Bureau, former slaves wanted to read and write and be a part of society.

Why did confederate general Robert E. Lee decide to invade Union territory during the Civil War?
Leona [35]
General Robert E. Lee, the Confederate commander of the Army of Northern Virginia, invaded Union territory in an attempt to persuade the United States into a negotiated peace after a hoped-for decisive and damaging attack on Northern soil.<span> It was also believed that a notable Southern victory in Union territory might have resulted in financial support and recognition of the Confederate cause from England or France. General Lee's first invasion of the North, which took place in Maryland during September of 1862, was repulsed by Union forces at the Battle of Antietam, but it was followed by a second invasion by Lee into Pennsylvania during the months of June and July in 1863.

Regarding your first activity, the first book of John perfectly matches the outline mentioned in your question, as it's often considered as the handbook of christianity (Jesus 101, if you may).

In relation to your second question, John was known as <em>The Apostle of Love </em>because of the transformation he had endured to become a loving pastor-like mentor in his writings and teachings. This was particularly special because John used to be somewhat reckless, aggressive and impulsive, to then become this humble, loving, compassionate man.
