Archaeology is the answer
The southern(who were previously Confederate) states all wrote new Constitutions and swore loyalty to the Union by 1877. Also, the 13th amendment(which states no slavery n<span>or involuntary servitude</span> is allowed unless punishment... in u.s.), 14th amendment(forbids states to restrict simple rights of citizens etc,), and 15th amendment(citizens in U.S. cannot be denied due to race, color, etc. to vote) were acknowledged and remained after the reconstruction. Former slaves also had a new life ahead of them: they could now be educated, choose who they wanted to marry, and choose jobs. Unfortunately, the reconstruction didn't heal African American/ white man wounds; and even though there were laws for equality, for many upcoming years, many black people still had many problems with white people who still believed they were somehow superior.
The major assumption underlying the statement made in the first sentence of the declaration is that by "All men are created equal" Thomas Jefferson was referring mostly to white men, since many of the Founding Fathers owned slaves.
Answer:
Jesus never said to worship him because he was God. He was God, but He gave people a choice, and that choice was to either have relationship with him or never find satisfaction. Jesus came to provide a way into Heaven, of which there was none for man before Jesus came. When he died on the cross he took away all the sin that had ever happened and experienced and forgave all that was yet to come. You should take comfort that Jesus already forgave you for sinning before you did it. We pray to ask forgiveness as a reminder that he cares about us. Jesus showed compassion and love towards every person he met in the bible, including murderers and prostitutes. The only time he got mad in the entire bible was when tax collectors had put up shop in the house of God and turned it into a house of greed. He cares. Getting baptized isn't a way to renew your soul. The water doesn't do anything. The act of getting baptized is a reminder that nothing but the blood that Jesus already spilt can save us. We should be humbled and joyed when we think of the security we were provided with thousands of years ago. I hope you know that I love you as a brother or sister of Christ and that you should try to remember that even Jesus loves the people you hate.
