00:05

brought to you by a power so peculiar and offensive

00:09

so hostile to reason so repugnant And those were just

00:13

a few of the things that have been said about

00:15

our cruciferous vegetable evenings Here anyway let's read the following

00:19

passage Ah power so peculiar and offensive so hostile to

00:23

reason so repugnant to the laws of nature and the

00:25

inborn rights of man which despoil zits victims of the

00:28

fruits of their labor with substitutes concubine ege for marriage

00:32

which abrogates the relation of parent and child which by

00:34

a denial of education of bases the intellect prevents a

00:38

true knowledge of god and murders the very soul which

00:41

amidst a plausible physical comfort degrades man created in the

00:45

divine image to the level of a beast Such a

00:48

power so eminent so transcendent so tyrannical so unjust can

00:51

find no place in any system of government unless by

00:55

virtue of positive sanction Okay pretty powerful stuff Time for

00:58

our pretty powerful question here the goal's presented in summer's

01:02

excerpt have the most in common with which of the

01:04

following your answer well let's just jump right in and

01:10

check out answer a the transcendentalist movement Well we know

01:14

that idealistic transcendentalist along with being a mouthful were supportive

01:18

of ending slavery They believe that slaves possessed the same

01:22

universal spirit as they did and that slavery prevented them

01:26

from exercising there god given right to reach their full

01:29

potential However we're not sure that somewhere speech reflects the

01:32

philosophy of self reliance transcendentalist are known for that means

01:37

a hostile of east today How about be the republican

01:40

motherhood movement Well the republican motherhood movement encouraged american women

01:44

to teach patriotic values to their families and communities were

01:48

guessing their fourth of july parties were pretty sweet This

01:51

movement did encourage a disenfranchised groups to impact the future

01:55

of the nation by placing them in charge of the

01:57

education of future lawmakers and teachers It may have even

02:01

formed the roots of the suffragette movement We don't think

02:04

their goal had enough in common with sumner's words to

02:06

be our answer but we're sure they have plenty to

02:09

talk about All that really means for us is that

02:12

answer b can take a hike so let's look att

02:14

de the second great awakening Well the second great awakening

02:18

isn't what happens when we finally get out of bed

02:20

after hitting snooze a million times It was actually a

02:23

protestant revival movement that preached a black and white congregants

02:27

that they were equal in the eyes of god Well

02:30

it was probably a great time it's not We're looking

02:33

for sorry answer D go back to sleep so we

02:36

know that some of those words argue against slavery from

02:39

a moral standpoint which many abolitionists agreed with and their

02:43

mind slavery was just plain wrong Not only was it

02:46

incompatible with american values but it was so wrong that

02:49

it was against human values as well Waken See how

02:52

some her speech was music to their ears which means

02:55

answer See the abolitionist movement is our answer Now if

02:59

03:02

hundred ninety nine thousand times this morning go back to 00:03:05.02 --> [endTime] sleep
