Conolazation
By: Evan
Imagine your a person in the time of the colonies what would you do? I know what i’d do i would run around screaming of boredness because there were no video games or TV. imagine your a person starving and shivering from the cold winter night. You were to busy looking for valuables you forgot you needed food. You were one of the people what made the law that is, if you don’t work than you don’t eat. You almost die of starvation and being cold. That was the life of a settler. They made a early government that only men were allowed to make laws. Women and Slaves were a big NO. Many people think now that it was unfair, but it was just life back then. No rights for women or slaves, they couldn’t speak their own opinion.

    Slavery was horrible back then because the slaves used to get abused and whipped. They also did not get the basic human rights they desired like freedom of speech and the right to vote. The slave owners disregarded them as if the slaves were nothing to them and since the slaves were so badly abused, they found each other to lean on when the times got rough. William Link wrote a book called, Roots of Secession: Slavery and Politics in Antebellum Virginia, and in it, he goes into depth about African Americans and how their their acts of disobedience towards their owners lead to the Civil War and the abolition of slavery. Link states in this book, “They regarded slaves as human personalities only in the same sense that they regarded their children:…

    The slave owners tried everything they could to keep their slaves. They tried peonage, discriminatory laws, and gave them no education to succeed in life. The former slaves should’ve been given their freedom and justice when the war was over. Some basic justices they should’ve gotten include a chance at education and a type of compensation. This discrimination in the south lasted for about fifty more years until Martin Luther King Jr. saw the differences between whites and blacks. The justice for freed slaves took a long time to obtain and we should be aware of the difficulties the former slaves went…

    They had an economy based upon the search for gold. The men spent the entire day searching for gold, rather then worrying about how to get food and taking care of others and themselves. They eventually starved to death and became shelter-less. They also constantly fought with one another. There were no occupations or families brought over. In order to save the colony, Captain John Smith took charge. He told all men that if they did not work to build houses and farm, they would not get food. The men began to build houses and farms, but they still continued to look for gold. They were less prepared when they came to America because the immigrants were all young, unskilled men. The men outnumbered women, so that meant natural reproduction of population grew slower than that in the English Colonies. Men that came were all between the ages of 14 and late 20s. There were some older men, but the young men continued to outnumber them which made it harder to take control. Besides from being unprepared, the Chesapeake region suffered many attacks by Native Americans. They also struggled for support from England and did not have enough men with experience to defend against Dutch and Native Americans. Their borders and waters were undefended and open for all attacks. Another huge problem was they had no town meetings and no peace. They had indentured servants, which eventually revolted…

    Black ex-slaves found themselves with still limited options for what they could do, even though they were now free. They could not work in factors like white women, so some found work in hotels, and most found work in private homes, and even more worked in their own homes as laundresses. Many of these women although they were free still had no voice in politics and still feared physical abuse from their white employers. Many would often get into arguments over wages and long hours of work, which in turn would cause them to get physically abused by their white employers. They still didn’t have the right to vote, yet they did have a little more freedom to express their opinions and would take time off work to make sure their male counterparts…

    Blacks were forbidden to read and write during slavery era. If attempted to read and write, people of color were brutally punished. The consequences they faced involved getting whipped or body parts amputated. As slavery became abolished, Blacks were not provided the same opportunities as Whites where they taught the fundamentals to read and write. Blacks barely had money to put their children into schools and whites wanted to exclude Blacks from American communities.…

    And since their masters placed such a high importance on wealth and making a profit, giving out the bare minimum to their servants would have played well into their bottom line and their pocket books. And then when you think of the 1620’s and the colonies farming, plantations, and crops are what first comes to mind, doctors and the availability of medicine on the other hand, are not. And this could be because there were many miles between each of the plantations, due to the lack of roads and cities around. So they had to endure all this and more with no help to get them through it. And to top it off, after everything they endured, they were subject to their masters wants and needs so they had to push on, and keep on with the…

    Equal Rights: Why Slavery Wasn’t Abolished In Time Do you ever wonder why the constitution included the statement “all men are created equal” yet slavery continued for 78 years? Keeping the peace, the Founding Fathers decided to focus more on building a strong, new nation so they ignored the slavery problem. To keep that strong national government, they had to accept the disagreements some of the states had. Even if some disagreed with slavery, they had to accept the fact that they were profiting from their hard work.…

    When it came to slavery, slaves only had a couple of options to deal with this. While some people thought slavery was legal, some people thought slavery was wrong. All they had were bravery, leadership, and being able to read. Slaves were not allowed to read or write or learn about the alphabet. The slaves were only allowed to work and that was it.…

    Slaves often had dirt floor cabins with leaky roofs, and they were crowded with many in one cabin. It was illegal to teach a slave how to read and write, but wage laborers could do as they pleased, and of course, wage laborers were free people. Slave auctions were common, but an auction for wage laborers never occurred. Why not just use wage laborers? After all, the North was against slavery, every state in the North had abolished slavery, and the work was getting done.…

    Many people during this time thought that slavery should be abolished. However, just because these individuals thought slavery should be done away with does not mean that every one of them actually voiced their concerns and stood up for the slaves. For example, George Washington was a slave owner himself, but after fighting a huge battle for his own independence he soon began rethinking being a slave owner. Washington never voiced his opinion on slavery, but freed every one of his slaves in his will. Many people thought that slavery should be abolished because of the way that it violated the slave’s human rights and gave the so called masters total control and the ability to dictate. Phyllis Wheatley was one of the many people that fought for the enslaved African American. Phyllis was a writer who wrote and spoke about the injustice of slavery. James Otis was a white colonist that believed slavery was “a huge violation of the law of nature.” John Allen shares the same beliefs as Otis and did all that he could to let his voice be heard and free slaves.…
