Unit Description

“The six years from 1853-1859 showed that slavery was a disturbing influence that could not be quieted or removed. For the sake of slavery, attempts were made to annex Cuba, the Kansas-Nebraska Bill was passed, rival parties were allowed to wage civil war in Kansas, the Supreme Court tried to establish a new principle in the territories, and Buchanan and his friends attempted to force a proslavery constitution upon the people of Kansas…” – Albert Bushnell Hart

Leading Ideas and Biblical Principles

[list type=”arrow”]

History is HIS Story – God’s story of love, mercy, and redemption through Christ.
- He made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ. — Ephesians 1‍:‍9-10
God’s providential hand governs and times all events and provides for His Creation according to His plan and purposes.
- The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands. And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else. From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us.- Acts 17: 24 – 27
Godly leadership and servanthood are necessary for one to be a true reforming influence.
- Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave—just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many..- Matthew 20:26 – 28
God raises up and removes leaders.
- He changes times and seasons; he deposes kings and raises up others. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning..- Daniel 2:21
