    “a Troublesome Property: Master-Slave Relations in Florida 1821-1865” by Larry E. Rivers

    The adage “You reap what you sow” is the saying that characterizes the times of slavery. Slave masters sowed bad seeds upon themselves by abusing, neglecting, undermining, and deceiving their slaves. In return, they reaped consequences of slave rebellion, slave wittiness, and overall the come up of the black race. In Larry Rivers “A Troublesome Property: Master-Slave Relations in Florida 1821-1865” he expounds on how slaves used what was supposed to make them oppressed and hopeless to their advantage by them learning how to outsmart their masters.…

    An Analysis of Bastard Out of Carolina by Dorothy Allison

    One of the most complex and elaborate characters in Bastard Out of Carolina by Dorothy Allison is Bone. Throughout the story Bone has to live a life where she thinks that she is the leading mystery of the trouble being caused. She has numerous unhappy situations and is in no way self-satisfied with herself. She doesn 't appreciate who she is physically. She constantly thinks she is the most homely and dull person who causes the most inconvenience in the family. This sense of selflessness is mainly due to the physical and sexual abuse brought upon by Daddy Glen, Bone 's stepfather. Unfortunately, the assaults were stretched out over a long period of time, leaving little chance for Bone to recover as an adult if any at all. I decided to take a more scientific approach to discussing Bone 's future as an adult. The most common disorders I feel Bone is likely to face are posttraumatic stress, cognitive distortions, emotional pain, and avoidance, an impaired sense of self and interpersonal difficulties. After finishing some research I concluded that Bone would most likely be diagnosed with posttraumatic stress disorder. It entails enduring certain psychological symptoms that occur in reaction to a highly distressing, psychically disruptive event. A diagnosis of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) requires the occurrence of a traumatic event, as well as frequent experiencing of the event through nightmares or intrusive thoughts, a numbing of general responsiveness to, or avoidance of, current events, and persistent symptoms of increased arousal, such as jumpiness, sleep disturbance, or poor concentration. All of these occurrences are a result from the sexual abuse Bone was forced to tolerate from Glen. Triggers of flashbacks include sexual stimuli or interactions, abusive behavior by other adults, disclosure of one 's abuse experiences to others, and reading or seeing sexual or violent media depictions, all of which would more than likely be experienced throughout Bone…

    Douglas A. Blackmon's Slavery By Another Name

    In schools around the US, students are taught that past the civil war, slavery became nonexistent. However, as I read through Douglas A. Blackmon’s Slavery By Another Name, I realized that slavery did not stop in 1865, but that it had continued for decades after, with arguably worse conditions and restrictions. In his book, Blackmon describes the struggles of African Americans after the 13th Amendment’s enactment. He describes the south’s transition from pre civil war legalized slavery to the post civil war modern industrial slavery.…

    Benito Cereno And The Heroic Slave

    Revolutions tend to have a negative connotation to them, seeming bloody and fighting against logic. However, revolutions can be a positive thing and they sometimes are such as the American Revolution, but revolutions only tend to be positive things when you have the correct person who is in charge to manage everything that happens. In Benito Cereno by Melville, Into the Wild by Krakauer, and The Heroic Slave by Douglass the characters become the people leaders of their respective rebellions. Although their success varies, Chris, Babo, and Madison all have the capability to rebel because the intelligence that they display throughout their active rebellions, which are isolated from society.…

    John Brown: an Extreme Abolitionist

    When John Brown was young, he witnessed an attack on a young slave boy, who was beaten with a shovel. The boy died, and Brown never forgot what he had seen. Brown’s father was dedicated to antislavery, and Brown became familiar with the movement. He continued to read about antislavery, and his faith led him to believe that God was going to set the slaves free. It was his faith that deepened his feelings about slavery, and Brown hoped to adopt a black boy and open a black school — neither of those promises came true. After hearing about the brutal murder of Elijah P. Lovejoy, Brown vowed to spend his life trying to eradicate slavery.…

    Slavery In California Analysis

    When Kevin Bales says “slavery is like someone is mugging you and stealing your life.” it is so true. Child slaves usually don’t get to do what other children do, like get an education, spend time with friends, or get respected. They have to miss out on all of those aspects of life. According to “A Child Slave in California” Shyima Hall worked about 18 hours a day. And she got no respect for what she did. The Ibrahims called her shagala which means servant and “stupid.” The Ibrahims took her away from her friends, family, home, respect, etc. Without that they can control you, they took away Shyima Hall’s life, and made her work. And the only thing she got out of it, was disrespect. She didn’t go to school, she could never go to doctors when…

    Why Did John Brown Become An Abolitionist?

    John Brown was born on May 9, 1800, in Torrington, Connecticut, in a Calvinist household. John’s father, Owen, worked as a tanner and zealously thought slavery was wrong, along with the rest of his family. When John was twelve, he was traveling through Michigan and saw an enslaved African-American boy being beaten, which haunted John for the rest of his life. Which led John to becoming an abolitionist, ultimately ending slavery, and that was going to be initiated by raiding Harpers Ferry.…

    The Life of a Slave in the 1800's

    Life as a slave was very difficult. As many as 4.5 million slaves were working in Southern plantations in the early to mid-1800’s. There were two types of slaves; field slaves and house slaves. People think that being a house slave was easier but this proves that theory wrong. Slaves had terrible environments, were separated from family and friends, and were sometimes beaten to death. Whites knew that slavery was wrong and immoral. Though, it still continued.…

    Abolition of Slavery

    Slavery in the United States first started in 1619, when African slaves were transported to Jamestown, a settlement in the colony in Virginia. These slaves were brought to the United States primarily to help with the making of crops, especially tobacco. The practice of slavery remained present throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries in other colonies of the United States, which helped build and strengthen the American economy as a whole. In 1793, the cotton gin was invented, which triggered the immense importance of the practice of slavery towards the success of the economy in the southern parts of the United States. On the other hand, the northern parts of the United States experienced a rapid growth and dispersal of abolitionist laws and activities, which displayed a great amount of hatred towards the practice of slavery in the United States. The United States Congress made African slave trade or international slave trade illegal in 1808, but it did not hold back the practice of domestic slavery that was becoming even larger in the United States. The act of trading between the colonies in the United States flourished, and by 1860, the amount of slaves in the United States unfortunately tripled, and reached to four million. The expansion of pro-slavery beliefs in the western parts of the United States in addition to the increase in abolitionists in the northern parts of the United States soon caused a tremendous debate over slavery, which practically tore the United States apart.…
