Fredrick Douglass was born into slavery in 1818, he spent his youth being sold from plantation to city, then all over again. At a point during his youth, he realized that slavery was wrong, and eventually once becoming aware of the north, he planned to one day escape captivity and be free. His determination was strong, so strong that he would one day escape captivity and establish a legacy of work in the North, that made him one of the core members in the fight to abolish slavery in the middle of the 1800’s. He is know historically for his publications and speeches in the fight for abolition, being a convincing and proactive voice which comes from first hand experiences in what life is like for slaves and slave owners. The purpose of publishing the text, Narrative of the Life of Fredrick Douglass, an American Slave, was to put into context the details of Douglass’ life, which include his feelings and tribulations, during his journey as a slave and escape to freedom. His conviction to reveal this story, was not hindered or halted by the fact that he would be exposing himself to the public, which often for an escaped slave would be a dangerous situation. The book was first published in 1845 when Douglass was twenty-seven, at this time slavery was legal, and the book that he had just published was incriminating evidence full of names, dates, and times, which make it very easy for someone to find him and return him to captivity by law.…
Egypt’s dictator for nearly three decades, Hosni Mubarak once said, “My aim was never to seek a force and take power.” Just like most dictators, Hosni Mubarak’s desire was to appeal to the Egyptian citizens, which he did at first. He never intended on obtaining enough power to be considered a dictator. Dictatorship is the ruling of a country with little or no help at all from the government or society. A dictator disregards checks and balances between the branches of governments and seizes most of the power. Another prevalent characteristic of a dictator is that they were once loved by society, but as they got ahold of more and more power, their main priority was to seize complete authority. Hosni Mubarak was a strong leader during his early…
Starting off with the question “What, to the American slave, is your 4th of July?” (39), the audience is already having to think what differences are there. A typical American of European descent, during this time period, would only see the glory of their nation being free on that day. I believe this helps shock the audience because of his response. Though no one would expect praise of the country, no one would expect Douglass to say the nation has “…swelling vanity…[and] brass fronted impudence…” (39). His answer does go into depth of his feelings for the injustice that’s taken place. The paragraph goes on, making it seem as a rant. This part it can cause a lost of interest in the audience.…

The autobiography, “Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass” is about the physical and mental journey of a former slave and his escape to freedom. It conveys a powerful message about the brutality and immorality of slavery. Frederick Douglass’s story proved wrong the misconceptions and justification for slavery during the antebellum period. His personal experiences and observations are realistic and vivid, each having a different purpose in supporting his message. The rawness of his writing style successfully touches the reader's’ emotions as well. The book greatly contributed to the abolitionist movement by enlightening people in both American and Britain and promoting an anti-slavery sentiment. It was a chance for the slaves’ untold…
Abstract: Egypt, like all other African countries has an extensive history rich with a unique culture and belief system. Unfortunately, Ancient Egyptian culture and history is buried under a synthesized backdrop for what is European history. Though the nation was influence by many cultures over the years, Egypt must still hold onto its true origins by rediscovering and challenging it’s own history in order to reinvent it as an Afrocentric nation that founded a unique Afrocentric cultural ideology that deals with the self determination of the Pan-African ideology in culture, philosophy, and history.…
Revolution: an overthrow or repudiation and the thorough replacement of an established government or political system by the people governed (Dictionary.com). This definition explains what a revolution is, but not the many reasons of why it happens. Every revolution in history has happened because people were being treated poorly and felt the need to fix their quality of life, so they rebelled against their government. Most revolutions were won and people gained many new freedoms & liberties, and new governments were put in place to uphold better rights. Some failed as well in their fight for more freedoms; yet these still affected history, and some change or progress was still made. Three key revolutions that had great impacts on the world were the American Revolution of 1776 (which started in 1763), the French Revolution of 1789, and the German Revolution of 1848. All three revolutions had major gains and even some losses that shaped not only their history, but the rest of the world for years to come.…
While it may not seem like the Egyptian and American Revolutions share much in common, they do. Nearly 250 years separated the two, and while technology, weaponry, and methods of revolution, have greatly evolved, many similarities remained. The American Revolution began in 1775, to protest the tyrannical rule of King George and what they felt was unfair treatment. The Egyptian Revolution began in 2011, after a series of revolutions in the Middle East, to challenge Hosni Mubarak’s three-decade long rule. Therefore, the American and Egyptian Revolutions compare as each group of people had similar reasons to revolt, and the initial outcome of both was the same.…

At the end of Frances revolution in 1799, the French citizens got what they wanted. Starting with the storming of the Bastille, the French revolution lasted three years. With the revolution finally coming to an end, the French people got a new leader that they long awaited, a new government and constitution, and all together a whole different country. While at the time, people were arguing whether or not the revolution was a necessary event. A little bit more than two hundred years later, we now know that it was a necessary event. The French revolution was a necessary event, because there was widespread hunger that needed to be changed, they got rid of a king and queen that was disloyal to their country, and the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen was written.…
