Short Story: The Glory Field
In the story The Glory Field, the African Americans are treated very poorly. So I was wondering how the story would be told if the the black people were white and how they would treat colored people? I think that the story would be different because I don't think that if the blacks were white they would treat the blacks different. I think if they had their same personalities they would treat the blacks kindly because they all have big good hearts! For example I don't they would tie Lem to the tree for not telling them where Joshua was if they owned the slaves, I think they would just have them to have them do work for them. I don't one bit think they would hurt their slaves at all. Also I think that the blacks love to be treated the way

    Summary Of The Movie Glory

    Glory is defined as being highly renowned, magnificent, or honored by excellent achievements. By definition, the 54th regime exhibited glory more than the rest of the Union army. These men were paid less, threatened with their lives, wrongfully treated, neglected of proper gear, and not allowed to reach their highest military rank, yet they still rose to every occasion to fight for the Union, to win their true freedom, and reunite a country that had kept the African-American people in the shadows.…

    How Did African Slavery Expand So Rapidly In The Late 17th Century?

    On Barbados and other islands where a flourishing sugar economy developed, the English planters were a tough, aggressive, and ambitious people. Since their livelihoods depended on their workforces, they expanded and solidified the system of African slavery there remarkably quickly. By the late seventeenth century, there were four times as many African slaves as there were white settlers (Text page 43.) In the North, slavery was considered to be impractical and cruel to mankind. Some considered it to be an act that goes against the bible, and inhumane. The Southerners on the other hand, were appalled at the fact of slaves being freed, and living equally with people they considered uncivilized. Many white southerners believed, in fact, that enslaving Africans-whom they considered inferior and unfit for…

    James Henry Hammond Resistance To Slavery

    Slavery was an oppressive time in history. Nothing good came from it, only hatred against others for the color of their skin, violence against them because the whites saw themselves as a superior, intellectual, and more dominant race. Some historians believe that life for slaves may have been different than what we’ve been taught by traditional historians, but how could it have been different. They weren’t treated any better. They were whipped, beaten, looked down upon, they have recorded chattels, where animals were treated better.…

    Reaction to Frederick Douglass' Narrative

    Blacks, at the time of slavery, were seen as second class citizens and below the level of upper class lighter skinned people. Since this was one of the reasons they were put into slavery, one would think it safe to assume they would not bestow these prejudices onto each other. However, after reading Douglass’s accounts of slavery, it is shocking to see that the slaves treated each other almost the same way the whites treated them. The prejudices may not have been as blatant as the whites, but they were there. It is especially evident when Douglass talks about the slaves arguing over their masters.…

    Willie Lynch Letters

    It’s amazing the words that Willie Lynch spoke about 300 years ago are still relevant today. In his speech he emphasized taking the differences between slaves and exploiting them. He used fear, distrust, and envy for control purposes. The slave owners knew the potential the slaves had however they possessed the missing ingredient which was mind control. If you can controls a slave mind by making them hate each other instead of loving each other you have won the battle. Light skinned slaves where put against dark skinned slaves, males where put against females. All while distracting them from what really mattered which is black unity. The slaves hated each but love master because he took care of them and provided them what they need to survive.…

    Why So Many Settlers Came To The New World

    The colonists who came to the New World all have a similar quality. They all used slavery in one way or another to achieve their goals. The colonists would depend on other people or groups in order to sustain a suitable lifestyle the choose. This is why so many colonists thought that working the slaves and indentured servants and giving them very austere living conditions was morally correct. Also, the government is a Democracy so since the majority of the people are colonists, the government is pro-slavery and pro-indentured servants. However, there were three main reasons why settlers came to the New World: for Gold, for Glory, and for God. All these people have a similar justification on the treatment of African slaves, indentured servants, and Native Americans and that is that their conditions of living is very harsh and that they will strip them of their possessions.…

    Letter From Birmingham Jail Analysis

    This was one of their responsibilities to keep the order. It is so crazy knowing that people were ordered, as one of their responsibilities, to deny the rights of other human beings. It's almost gross to me that in some days, African Americans weren't even seen as human beings, just animals and property to be used for work. Sometimes I think how different things would be if we were never enslaved. It poses many questions and issues though such as, how would we have even gotten to America? If we didn't would we have modernized in the way that we did? The crazy thing about history is that every little detail counts. If one little thing didn't happen the way that it did, our world would be drastically different.…
