Explain the logical flaw in Cotton's explanation as to how Burroughs could say the Lord's Prayer.

Cotton said that in order to be acquitted, Mr. Burroughs should recite our father as an ordained minister, which he was not. This is a logical failure, because it was not necessary to be an ordained minister to recite our Father with the same composure and fluency that Mr. Burroughs did.

Explanation:

Mr. Burroughs was accused of witchcraft and sentenced to hanging. However, before his execution he made an eloquent speech in the name of his innocence and recited the Our Father with an eloquence and admirable composure. At that time, it was believed that witches could not recite our Father and this made people cry out that the execution would not happen. That was when Mr. Cotton Mather claimed that Mr. Burroughs did not recite our father as an ordained minister, since he was not one and it was normal for the devil to pretend to be an angel of light. After that the execution continued.

explanation:

not everyone in america is free. it is has always been a unequal society. and yet people come in swarms, in search of better lives. some are brought as children, unaware, unknowing. some arrive and just don’t leave. they build lives, pay taxes, raise families. some enter illegally, fleeing persecution in their home country.

there are many reasons why human beings are so attracted to america, despite its history of bitterness towards immigrants.

there are almost two million immigrants brought to the us when they were children. president donald trump and his collaborators are determined to rid the us of as many undocumented immigrants as they can, and stop others from coming because none of their ancestors were immigrants.

america has so many things and yet it lacks the one thing that humanity needs to fully thrive. and so this country will not be at peace in itself until it resolves the pain at the heart of slavery, attacking immigrants, and crumble the rights of those with less power.
