Why did Beecher compare intemperance to slavery and the slave trade?

History

pshichka [43]3 years ago
7 0
Lyman talks about intemperance as something that is to be fought off. It mentions it as something terrible that ruins families and that we should execrate just as we execrate the cruelties of slave trade.
It isn't really a comparison. It more of an appeal to see one as a horrible thing just like we see the other.

In his own words:

"We execrate the cruelties of the slave trade—the husband torn from the bosom of his wife—the son from his father—brothers and sisters separated forever—whole families in a moment ruined! But are there no similar enormities to be witnessed in the United States? None indeed perpetrated by the bayonet—but many, very many, perpetrated by intemperance."

I don’t know what number but I can help.

Say the phone was $271 and it went up ten percent

Try taking 200 and it’s 10% more. If you don’t know you take the first two digits and add a decimal in front of the last zero. You have 20 dollars. If you do that with the $271 do this $27.10 because if you take the first two digits and add a decimal before the one you have $27.1
