Syphilis, while not viewed as a huge threat due to a decreased number of cases in the mid-late 1990s, needs to be taken more seriously by the public because it is more dangerous than many realize, especially because it is extremely contagious, it is extremely elegant in the symptoms it produces, it has played a larger part in history than many would think, and there is a certain stigma which surrounds the disease, which in turn pushes individuals away from receiving the necessary testing.

    One of the primary lessons I learned is that Christopher Columbus is said to have carried a range of diseases the first time he crossed the Atlantic in 1492, which wiped out a huge population of Indians. The strategy was viewed as revenge through the introduction of syphilis into Europe. On the other hand, a skeleton was found in an English monastery that was said to be of a man who possibly died of syphilis. It is tough to determine the disease an individual died from especially after a long period since their death because most conditions do not leave traces on the bones. However, syphilis is one of the illnesses that leave traces in the bone. Therefore, it is possible to identify a skeleton that died while suffering from syphilis.…

    Throughout U.S. history African Americans were considered colored peoples, and they were forced to endure slavery. In the United States, slavery was formed from using people whom were forced to serve as slaves by capturing and sold at auctions. They were then forced to work on plantations as a slave labor which existed as a legal institution in North America. Slavery existed more than a century before the founding of the United States in 1776. In 1865, following the American Civil War, slavery was outlawed in the United States and slaves became emancipated or freeman. The first English colony in North America, Jamestown, acquired its first African slaves in 1619 by the Dutch. Slavery was a one of the key factors which contributed to the American Civil War which lasted from 1861 to 1865. Once slaves became freeman, many states developed laws which were created to disenfranchise African-American’s from voting. A group of African-American women decided to establish the first national black organization in the United States. From the time of slavery, children were bought and sold into slavery. Many times, white masters and owners would beat and force their enslaved women into having intimate, sexual relationships. Almost all slaves were of African descent and from the 16th to the 19th centuries; an estimated 12 million Africans were shipped as slaves to the Americans.…

    Slavery initially began during the early 1400s, lasting as late as the 1800s. Slavery began with the capture of slaves from West Africa, who were captured by rival tribes from west coast Africa, and traded for Europeans for goods; through the process of the Atlantic Slave Trade. With the difference in economy, society, and policy, the South’s and North’s relationship was poor. This then progressed, with the idea of Manifest Destiny; which, also built up bad relations with the north and south as America wanted to expand westward. As a result of different views and ideas, the civil war began. The civil war had been the starting point to the end of slavery, the starting fight (Kansas-Nebraska-Act, 2009). With many fights for freedom Jim Crow Laws still set limitations and unjust behavior towards African Americans. It wasn’t until the civil rights movement that a change became self-evident.…
