Arts & Humanities - 24 July 2007

I've recently had to listen to a couple of morons talk about how the south was right in trying to suceed from the union and that the civil war was not fought over slavery. I'd just like to say - GO READ YOU'RE DAMN HISTORY BOOK!!! People say it was over taxes or tariffs placed on the slave traders boat. Or even the wacky thing of Lincoln and his "conspiracy" to take over. Every "reason" the south gives just traces back to slavery. Why don't people just face the facts? Now I am not in any way bashing southerners. Both my parents were born and raised in the south and my whole family still lives there it's just that as a history major I think people need to accept the fact that they were wrong and the north was right for trying to stop them. Also I heard that some schoold don't even teach that the south lost. Would someone mind telling people the truth? Any comments?

I have this passion for writting, anything at all, sometimes I even narate in my mind relating to what I am going through, and I come up with all kinds of ideas for a plot and characters! I simply love it when I read the entire thing again and I correct it, or find different lines to replace the ones that don't fit! Is there someone out there willing to read this kind of work in order to find new authors for publishing? I am well aware I have much work to do until I get there, but for now, I want to know if it's any good, if I have any talent, if I draw attention to keep a reader focused and wishing to know more! Thanks!

Read this poem a long time ago, all I remember are:
It's about two lovers, one in heaven and the other on earth.
Each stanza reflects on each one. One pining for the other. Where the female is waiting at the gates of heaven. And the man on earth is waiting. Does any one know the exact name of the poem?

Thanks in advance.
