Read Individualism and Commitment in American Life. By Robert N. Bellah, Richard Madsen, William M. Sullivan, Ann Swidler, and Steven M. Tipton
True or False?
The researchers in Habits of the Heart thought that the individualism of modern life was a benefit to communities of memory.
Answer: False
Explanation:
The scholars understood that individualism created a problem that could be solved through the cultivation of communities of memory. They found that individualism was impoverishing the American language in a way that became more and more challenging for people to talk about commitment. Communities of memory where traces of second languages could be preserved were believed to be capable of transforming the first language of individualism based on the traditions of biblical religion and civic republicanism.
civil rights are granted by governments to ensure civil liberties
without the civil rights, basically all civilians will live without any liberties because the governments will have too much power over their people. Without civil rights, if you're a hindrance for the government, they could easily just kill you like in North Korea

<em><u>Further explanation</u></em><em>:</em>
- John Brown (1800-1859) was an abolitionist who supported armed struggle against existing laws and government in order to end slavery. In October 1859, Brown led a raid on the federal armory at Harpers Ferry, Virginia. The intent was to arm slaves to fight for their freedom and set in motion a slave revolt that would spread across other regions in the South. The effort was unsuccessful and Brown was hanged for treason against Virginia.
- President Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address on November 19, 1863. in the Gettysburg Address, Lincoln affirmed the principle stated by the Declaration of Independence, that all men are created equal. The massive number of casualties at the Battle of Gettysburg gave impetus to Lincoln's words about preserving the Union and government of the people, by the people and for the people -- ideas which had been central to Lincoln's worldview before Gettysburg as well as in that speech.
- Lee's surrender to General Ulysses Grant of the Union occurred on April 9, 1865, near the town of Appomattox Court House, Virginia. This was the effectively the end of the US Civil War.
- As pointed out by Daniel White in an article on <em>Owlcation </em>about advantages the South did have, one key was military leadership. White writes: "Many Southern political and military leaders were graduates of the military academy at West Point, as well as veterans of wars such as the Mexican-American War ... while the Union struggled for the first few years of the war to find strong leaders ."
- Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel, "Uncle Tom's Cabin," was hugely popular with abolitionists around the world. The book was the 2nd-best selling book of the 19th century -- coming in behind only the Bible (the perennial bestseller).
- As the History Channel reports, "Lincoln did believe that slavery was morally wrong, but there was one big problem: It was sanctioned by the highest law in the land, the Constitution." So Lincoln wrestled with the issue of slavery as a moral wrong, and yet something that had Constitutional approval.
