Answer:

A bullet that could be loaded quicker and fired more accurately

Explanation:

This was a type of bullet developed by the French army officer Claude-Etienne Minié, in the year 1849. It was used during the American civil war. Minié developed this bullet because tradidional ammunition had to engage the spiral grooves, or rifling, inside the rifle barrel, had to be equal in diameter to the barrel, and shooters would have to jam the bullet into the rifle by force.  Because of this the rifles would become increasingly difficult to load as the barrel became dirty with gun powder residue. This bullet was smaller than the diameter of a rifle barrel, and could be easily loaded, even when the rifle became dirty.This gave rise to the ammunition that we see today. :)

Answer:

The Influence of Religion in Phillis Wheatley's Life

Phillis Wheatley overcame extreme obstacles, such as racism and sexism, to become one of the most acclaimed poets in the 18th Century. Her works are characterized by religious and moral backgrounds, which are due to the extensive education of religion she received. In this sense, her poems also fit into American Poetry. However, she differs in the way that she is a black woman whose writings tackle greater subjects while incorporating her moral standpoint. By developing her writing, she began speaking out against injustices that she faced and, consequently, gave way to authors such as Gwendolyn Brooks and Countee Cullen.

On July 11, 1761, a slave ship from Fula, West Africa…show more content…

In general, religion was a large part of Boston. Few slaves were encouraged to attend church; however, the Wheatleys attended New South Congregational Church and encouraged Phillis to embrace the Lord as they had (Mason 4). Because she was asthmatic, she attended Old South Congregational Church, which was closer to the Wheatley residence (Weidt 15).  

By the age of twelve, she had become quite familiar with the Bible as well as literary works of contemporary English poets. In addition, she translated works by the Latin and Greek writers Ovid and Homer, respectively (Mason 4). At this same time, after being in Boston for about four years, she began to take an interest in writing (Mason 4). Susanna supplied Phillis with paper and ink to enable her to write and even allowed Phillis to ignore her household something that was practically unheard of for a slave (Mason 5). However, Susanna was accommodating because she wanted Phillis to pursue her religious education and believed that writing would enable her to do so.
