Abolitionists are driven by a desire to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with their God (Micah 6:8). Abolitionists are not interested in merely abstaining from evil themselves, but are committed to exposing evil and bringing it into conflict with the truth of Christianity (Ephesians 5:11).
English belongs to the Germanic family of Indo-European languages. Old English (also known as Anglo-Saxon) had two main dialects. The Anglic dialect gave its name to the language, but the Saxon dialect eventually evolved into Modern English.
Things pertaining to the land or culture of England are referred to as being English. This includes the people of England as well as the language spoken there, which was brought to the American colonies by the English explorers. The English language finds its origins in the West Germanic tribes that inhabited England in the 5th Century: the Saxons, the Jutes, and the Angles, the latter of which provided the name English.
