Alexis De Tocqueville's Virginian Luxuries

In the document “Virginian Luxuries, it is a story that revolves around deception and pure pretense. The slave owner took advantage of is power, by being able to do what he desire to one of his slaves. This is deception because the colored women slave did not have a choice, but to obey commands and comply. During the time period that this situation occurred, it was rather common, even if it meant discrete! Under many conditions this is not okay, and both parties should know where they stand. As a French aristocrat being in America for the first time, Alexis de Tocqueville was very much intrigued by the mixture of people, whereas where is he originally from is not as mixed as Amercia. The document states “The lot of the Negro is placed on
the extreme limit of servitude, while that of the Indian lies on the uttermost verge of liberty; and slavery does not produce more fatal effects..” When analyzing this quote from the document, the understandings are the amount of unfairness and unjust throughout the American system, which Tocqueville perceived. Alexis de Tocqueville makes a prediction, furthermore, an idea he is sure will be an outcome for the Americans. The author states that Tocqueville’s prognostication, is that “The indian’s will perish in the same isolated condition..The negro, who earnestly desires to mingle his race with European..the Indian might succeed to a certain extent.” All of Tocqueville’s predictions are reasonable senses due to the fact what he has discerned. Some of Alexis de Tocqueville’s predictions are actually very true in America's present day. As mentioned earlier the document reader, Tocqueville predicts “...the negro, who earnestly desires to mingle his race with European”, this an eye opener because it is true. Based upon the knowledge from reading, Tocqueville’s observations are believable because his description matches possible potential scenarios that could or have already happened, conversely his predictions off just a balance; then again that could be because the reader is able to see what the outcome really is in present day.
