Antietam: Birthplace of Modern America (Jabneh: How a Portion of the Talmud Came to Be the Common Law)

By Kalman Minkus

This is the story of how the common law came into being in England in 1173 C.E. It is the common law which is the foundational law of the modern American culture through the 14th amendment of the constitution. The 14th amendment comes out of the great United States civil war. It was the victorious civil war veterans who after the war demanded that the first sentence of the spiritual constitution of the modern American culture, which is president Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg address, be enacted into the United States constitution as the 14th amendment. The first sentence of the Gettysburg address states:"Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal."It is the dynamic of freedom and equality before the law which unifies the varied people of the United States of America who represent every race and creed of the world into the modern American culture.
