    Analysis Of Olaudah Equiano

    Olaudah Equiano is describing the brutal treatment of slaves being transported overseas. In the beginning of the passage he describes his fear of being killed or eaten by the European men. After he was brought onto the ship he describes what he sees and states “there was a multitude of black people of every description chained together, every one of their countenances expressing dejection and sorrow.”(73) The slaves are kept in the cargo hold of the ship chained to the ground. There were guards watching them to make sure they didn’t try and jump over board. Equiano recounts the state of the area the slaves were kept in he states “the air soon became unfit for respiration, from a variety of loathsome smells, and brought on a sickness among the…

    Reign of Terror DBQ

    “The King’s blood flowed and cries of joy from eight thousand armed men struck my ears.” A man that witnessed the guillotining of King Louis XVI was left with this graphic image of a memorable event leading to the Reign of Terror. The Reign of Terror, otherwise known as the French Revolution, was an attempt to form a new government in France. The citizens of France fought against their government and made a new government led by Maximilen de Robespierre. This new government executed large numbers of individuals whom were “enemies” of the Revolution. This government went so far to preserve their vision of liberty and equality. France was violently demanding “Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity”. Was it necessary to murder 30,000 by guillotining them in the middle of town square for everyone to witness? Did the 2,750 people sentenced to death without any evidence deserve their fate? The Reign of Terror was not justified because of the reaction towards external threats, the treatment of internal threats, and the malevolent methods used by this new government to carry-out their vision of a perfect government.…

    Thomas Jefferson Sentiment Time Analysis

    R.B. Bernstein, a professor of law at New York Law School, and author of nearly twenty books on Early American legal and diplomatic history, is one of the latest in the long list of historians to attempt to tackle the life of Jefferson. In his work, Thomas Jefferson, Bernstein provides a well-organized and balanced history of Jefferson as he traces his life from his birth into one of Virginia’s wealthiest families, to his death as a man who was ridden with debt and insecure of his place in history. Published in 2003, the strength of Bernstein’s text does not lie in its ability to dissect this enigma of history, but in his ability to lay out his life and offer the facts as they exist without adding too much of his own opinion. Bernstein’s ability to write without muddling up the information he is presenting gives the reader a fairly unbiased look at the man who, in most of the other works he is covered in, takes the form of the authors perceptions. This is not to say that he does not give Jefferson credit for his achievements, or fault him where he deserves it, but Bernstein is able to point out these positive and negative features of Jefferson’s life without adding too much conjecture.…

    hum 112 assigment 1

    I think the topic that I select is very interesting but I think is a little bit controversial because this writer includes God in his Discourse of the Method. The way that Descartes started this passage made me think that he relies on his own understanding including that he was really confused about his existence, where his thoughts and ideas came from this part was very surprise to me. The first point when I get surprise was when he said that he decided to pretend that every thought he had, were no more true, than the illusions and dreams he always had. Being a person that believes in God. For this reason I put in the beginning of the paragraph that this topic is a little bit controversial. Then to my surprise, he came to realize that the ideas put in him were by something greater than him. He said that the thing greater than him is God. Another statement that took me by surprise was when he stated that God was in us.…

    DBQ: Reign of Terror

    “The execution of Louis XVI marked the beginning of the 18 month period of the French Revolution that has come to be called ‘The Reign of Terror’”(49). It was led by no other than Robespierre, in an attempt to start a new government, which proceeded to execute large numbers of people. The 18 months was a blood pouring event during the French Revolution. These events were unnecessary and the whole Reign of Terror was unjustified because it was a sin to kill, they went against what other through and what was right, and they went beyond what was necessary.…

    Thomas Jefferson's Monticello

    Thomas Jefferson loved architecture. He studied and read about architecture in books and designed many buildings from what he learned. The buildings he designed and built still exist today. One of which was his own home, called Monticello. Monticello is a great example of neoclassicism in that the house features classic Roman styles and features. Most of what Jefferson learned and applied to his design was from Andrea Palladio. Palladio modeled his work after ancient Roman buildings and Jefferson admired that.…

    The Horrors of a Slave Ship

    At age eleven Equiano’s happiness had a turning point as he was kidnapped along with his sister. They were treated brutally and were forced to do dangerous jobs. If orders were not followed, they were flogged unmercifully. Later, they were separated as they served different masters. He later reunited with his sister when they had the same master. They cried of happiness as their mournful days were over; unfortunately, they were torn apart once again. His pain and anxiety was worse of what he had experienced after her fate. Equiano describes the many days he traveled and the frequent change of masters. He was sold back and forth in the West Indies and England. However, he came into a town called Tinmah in Africa. He then served a wealthy widow. Receiving many benefits as in eating with them and being dressed well, he forgot he was a slave and became adopted to the wealthy family. He was kidnapped again; however, this time, he arrived to a ship where slaves were being marketed. There were thousands of slaves chained under the deck as they were going to be shipped over the “Middle Passage” or across the Atlantic Ocean. The slaves suffocated as there was little room to even move or breathe. The filth and heat brought sickness to the people; therefore, they cried and groaned as they slowly died. Equiano preferred his former slavery instead of the situation he was living on the deck. Not only were blacks treated brutally but also the white people that misunderstood…

    What Were The Consequences Of Robespierre

    There were people who wanted the power that was implicated in being a part of the Committee of Public Safety and others who wanted the Terror to end and were completely against the Revolutionary government as a whole vying for the removal of Robespierre. Others thought it would be best for him to be removed in order to keep themselves alive. In order for this to happen, they began to collect charges against him, one them being the Law of 22 Prairial. Robespierre was arrested and refused a hearing before his peers. He was executed on July 8, 1794.…

    Equiano

    “Did I consider myself a European, I might say my sufferings were great but when I compare my lot with that of most of my country men, I regard myself as a particular favorite of heaven, and acknowledge the mercies of Providence in every occurrence of my life.” In the writing, The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano, Equiano gives a clear sense of how his early cultural beliefs play a role in his later life. I argue that Equiano’s early cultural beliefs in providence influenced his perception of subsequent events in his life. Through Equiano’s eyes Providence was the guiding force that had sustained him through his spiritual and physical slavery to freedom.…

    Rene Descartes in his Discourse of the Method begins with the problem of showing and proving his own existence, but later in the reading changes the problem and it is concentrating on proving the existence of God. The first time that I thought to myself that this reading is probably about something else than proving his own existence was where the author started talking about perfection. The author defined God as “something that truly was more perfect than I was, something indeed having perfections of which I could have any idea” (Descartes, 2010, p.16).…

    Reign Of Terror Essay

    The of event of public execution was considered to educate the citizens of France. Women were encouraged to attend and knit while the executions happen . The Committee of Public Safety directed the executions. Robespierre stated that "terror is nothing other than justice, prompt, severe, inflexible; therefore an emanation of virtue; " Early in 1794 many citizens were arrested. Over the time of Reign of Terror as many as 200,000 people were arrested . The committee had France in their hand with the absolute power rule they had over the citizens. Toward the end of the Reign of Terror the Jacobins felt that the terror needed to come to an end. The Jacobins were supporters of Robespierre during this time. Robespierre called for a new purge in 1794, and when the purge was called many members felted threaten. The Jacobins were tired of Robespierre antics and one of them rose named Cambon and stated "It is time to tell the whole truth. One man alone is paralyzing the will of the Convention. And that man is Robespierre." After this statement many Jacobins supported Cambon and arrested Robespierre. Robespierre was sent to the guillotine and became the last victim of the Reign of…
