Cotton Creek

Abolitionists attacked Southern slaveholders as "sinners" for keeping slaves; Northerners who weren't abolitionists largely believed that these same slaveholders were lazy for living off the sweat of others. In response, Southern slaveholders and their sympathizers claimed that slavery was good for not only for slaveholders, but also for Yankees who made and wore cotton clothes. Moreover slaveholders argued that slavery was good for slaves themselves.

Since Southerners felt that slavery was postive for the nation while Northerners felt it was negative for the nation it is argued by many historians that social forces brought about the violence that occurred in May, 1856. (Keep in mind that the pro-slavery forces' raid on Lawrence, Kansas, Sumner's caning, and the murders orchestrated by Brown at Pottawatomie Creek all happened in less than one week. The telegraph moved news quickly.) Others assert that individuals such as Brown and Brooks drove events. Yet another claim is that social forces and individuals cannot be separted from each other when making arguments about why historical events occurred.

Except for natural events like volcanoes, hurricanes etc., all events are created by people. Nothing just happens. Everything starts with a single person doing something or passing along an idea to others. Whether they get historical credit for it is open to debate. Change happens when large numbers of people act.

My husband and I are already trying out baby names, even though we are just a few weeks along and don't know the gender. We really like nature names.

He is calling the baby Penelope (!). If we have twin girls (they do run in my family!) he half jokingly wants to call them Penelope and Clementine. He also likes Cotton for a boy, even though the chances of the two of us producing a fair-headed child is nil.

Some serious choices are Creek ______, Malcolm Ash, and _____ Cotton for boys and Wren Alexandra, Meadow Leigh, and Hazel Olivia (after a grandmother) for girls.

What do you think? Or do you have some good nature names for us to consider. Nature names seem particularly hard for boys . . .

i like your idea. here are my suggestions:
Keaton - nature-loving - English***
River - river - English
Orric - old oak tree - English
Trayton - town of trees - English
Tarin - cross the river of life - N/A
Tyson - sea-loving - English***

Danelle - good natured - Hebrew
Azra - naturel - N/A
ilana - tree - Hebrew
Kaede - tree - Japanese***
Tamara - palm tree - Hebrew
Zoey - life - Greek
Isra - free - Thai
Azia - sungod's gift
Zelia - sunshine
Syndey - wide island - English
Eva - mother of all life
Hali - proch to life
Skylar - eternal life, love, strengh & beauty

hope this helps & Congradulations!

Artist/Band: Morgan Craig
Lyrics for Song: Almost Home
Lyrics for Album: I Love It
Song: Almost Home
Album: I Love It

(Craig Morgan/Kerry Curt Phillips)

He had plastic bags wrapped 'round his shoes
He was covered with the evening news
Had a pair of old wool socks on his hands

The bank sign was flashing "5 below
It was freezing rain an' spittin' snow
He was curled up behind some garbage cans

I was afraid that he was dead
I gave him a gentle shake
When he opened up his eyes
I said,"Old man are you ok?"

He said,"I just climbed out of a cottonwood tree
I was runnin' from some honey bees
Drip dryin' in the summer breeze
After jumpin' into Calico creek
I was walkin' down an old dirt road
Past a field of hay that had just been mowed
Man I wish you'd just left me alone
'Cause I was almost home..."

Then he said,"I was just comin' round the barn"
'Bout the time you grabbed my arm
When I heard Momma holler son hurry up
I was close enough for my old nose
To smell fresh cobbler on the stove
And I saw daddy loadin' up the truck
Cane poles on the tailgate
Bobbers blowin' in the wind
Since July of '55
That's as close as I've been

"Yeah, I just climbed out of a cottonwood tree
I was runin' from some honey bees
Drip dryin' in the summer breeze
After jumpin' into Calico creek
I was walkin' down an old dirt road
Past a field of hay that had just been mowed
Man I wish you'd just left me alone
I was almost home"

I said,"old man you're gonna freeze to death"
Let me drive you to the mission
He said,"Boy if you'd left me alone
Right now I'd be fishin'"

"I just climbed out of a cottonwood tree
I was runnin' from some honey bees
Drip dryin' in the summer breeze
After jumpin' into Calico creek
I was walkin' down an old dirt road
Past a field of hay that had just been mowed
Man I wish you'd just left me alone
'Cause I was almost home"

"Man I wish you'd just left me alone
I was almost home..."
