People have often wondered if William Shakespeare had any involvement in the most important writing project of his time, the translation and prepartation of the King James Bible. Although there are no ways to verify this, at least one set of clues indicates Shakespeare probably had some involvement with at least the Old Testament part of the book.

William Shakespeare lived from 1564-1616.  The creation of the King James Bible began in the year 1610, the year in which Shakespeare would have been 46 years old.

If you turn to Psalm 46 in the King James Bible, and if you count exactly 46 words into the psalm, you find the word "shake."  If you count 46 words back from the end of that psalm, you will find the word "spear."

It just seems too coincidental to think that it was by fluke circumstances that the 46th Psalm would be translated around the time of Shakespeare's 46th birthday and that the 46th word from the start and the 46th word from the end would be "shake" and "spear."  My professional opinion is, Shakespeare translated that section of the King James Bible and he slipped in a secret byline to prove it was his work.

Dr. Dennis E. Hensley is director of the professional writing department at Taylor University in Upland, Indiana.  He holds four degrees in linguistics and literature, including a Ph.D. in English from Ball State University.  He is the author of 52 books.

How did southern slaveholders claim that the North benefited from slavery?
choli [55]

Answer:

Hi!

The answer to your question is option 3. The southern slaveholders claimed that the north benefited from slavery because they pointed out that the North’s textile industry depended on southern cotton.

Explanation:

As you may know, slaves in the south worked mainly on the cotton fields. Because harvesting cotton required a very large group of people, slaves were brought and the cotton industry skyrocketed. The south became rich for their cotton production and the north’s textile industry also benefited as they now had a bigger suppy of cotton to work with.

Because the industry was doing so well and people were making more money, the North defended slavery by showing how much the textile industry had benefited from the cotton harvested in the south by slaves. Since the textile industry depended entirely on the cotton harvested by slaves in the South, the North argued that the sudden end to the slave economy would a profound and killing economic impact since the cotton economy would collapse.
