What is Frost saying about the Civil War?

A:
1. What is Frost saying about the Civil War?
2.What is the “hard mystery” of Jefferson’s?
3.Do you agree with this take on Jefferson’s words?
4.What examples in the history we have studied prove or disprove this take of Jefferson’s words?
(HINT: The whole “all men are created equal” is from the Declaration of Independence. NOT THE CONSTITUTION <–two totally different documents. Please don’t mix them up in this discussion especially since I just gave you this hint. Otherwise, I will think you aren’t reading carefully and my feelings will probably be hurt).
B. Should the statues commemorating Confederate generals be removed? Why or why not? What about the schools and streets named after them? And where is the line? Should we remove the Jefferson memorial from Washington, D.C. because he was a slave holder? Should anyone who participated in slavery be off-limits for public honors? Should we take George off the $1 bill? What about Andrew Jackson off the $20 for his atrocious treatment of the Natives?
C.
Winslow Homer painted this from sketches he had made while touring Virginia. It depicts three freed-women being visited by their old mistress.
1. What do you see in the painting? (Not like an actually physical description, but what story does the painting tell)?
2. How do the women feel about their former mistress? How can you tell?
3. How does she feel about them? How can you tell?
4. Any interesting insight you’d like to add? <–optional question. 🙂
D.
