In the narrative of The Life of Frederick Douglass Slave, an American Slave, by Frederick Douglass slave owners rely on the dehumanization of slaves and revoke fundamental human rights in order to prevent slaves from rebelling which in turn allows the institution of slavery to continue. In order for the institution of slavery to continue all of the following participants need to perform their assigned roles. Traditionally, the slave master using violence and poor treatment to get his slave to obey his orders and as a result the slave obeys his master’s orders. However, when a slave does not perform his role and starts to rebel this threatens the authority of the master and weakens his role. When a slave rebels this poses great conflict…
Indentured servitude and slavery existed in the ‘New World’ primarily for economic and population growth. In the book, Going to the Source, Slavery was defined as “hereditary” and “a lifetime status” and the slave must serve for life, however, on the other hand indentured servitude was “contractual” and “voluntary” although the servant is forced to serve for a fixed amount of years. Indentured servitude and slavery are strikingly parallel to each other from the fact that both parties participate in physically demanding labor and endure severe punishments induced by their master, nevertheless, the contractual agreement to each party is quite different, plus the primary skin color of the of party heavily impacts the treatment and escape punishments…
The Revolutionary War was a time during which many Americans experienced a sudden burst of liberation and passion that they had not experienced previously. However, not all people living in the states were privileged enough to experience this freedom. In his text, Generations of Captivity, Ira Berlin argues that the Revolutionary War was an important stepping stone towards the criminalization of slavery and the freedom of enslaved peoples in the United States. However, Toni Morrison’s A Mercy, and Anderson’s Chains clearly paint a different portrait of slavery as tensions in the New World rose to the breaking point. The stark contrast between slave-master relationships as depicted in A Mercy, and relationships as depicted in Chains show an evolution of the institution of slavery moving towards violence and more oppressive behavior. As illustrated by these dramatic shifts between Chains and A Mercy, despite arguments presented in…
Slavery is recognized when people of higher power forcefully put other people into forced work. This is the same definition used to describe coerced labor. Throughout the 17th through 19th century slavery and other coerced labor system, such as indentured servitude, were very common between across the globe. However, the Americans saw the most forced labor during this time with the Europeans bring thousands of slaves to the New World. Although slavery and indentured are different there are many more similarities that outweigh the differences.…

The Treaty of Versailles was meant to ease tension over WWI but in my opinion it could have been responsible for starting WWII. I think the United States should have rejected the Treaty of Versailles, considering that the Big Four (US, Great Britain, France, Italy) had the most to gain and it created much animosity for the rest of the European nations.…
Throughout American history racial tension has always been strong, but as time went on, factory workers began outnumbering farmers, and the tension began easing. This gradual change is evident mostly when comparing two books. Slavery by Another Name, a book written in 2008 by Douglas A. Blackmon to show the world that indentured servitude continued well past emancipation. Along with “The Jungle” which was a book written 1906 by Upton Sinclair, Jr. but then shortened into an article, to alert the general public to the indiscriminatory horrors of factory life that affected workers of all races. Slavery by Another Name was showed high levels of racial tension whereas “The Jungle” had little to no racial hostility.…
While in this horrible life that slaves lived in many would recorded their encounters on how it was being a slave. In the book The Classic Slave Narratives you read how slaves are brutally beaten occasionally by their master or overseer. In the story of Mary Prince and Frederick Douglas you see all the heart ache that these slaves had to go through. There is similarity in which all slaves stories are the same but different in their own way. When learning about slavery we already know about all the bad things they went through but its all different when you actually hear it from their point of few. Which is really horrifying to learn the truth of what these slaves had to face.…
Primates are one of the most interesting mammals on earth, not only because of their complex social structures, but because they hold so many similar characteristics to humans. Primates are often cited as our closest living relatives and on two separate occasions I observed four separate species of primates at the San Diego Zoo that can justify their use of their physical characteristics and behaviors that may be similar as well as different to the other primates and ours.…
During the 19th century in the United States there was a big difference between colored people and white people. Colored people were called negroes or niggers and most of them were slaves, at least in the South. White people didn’t seem to be humane or at least they understand what being humane was, they didn’t have the ability to do what is right. I believe that slavery robs the slaves of their humanity, but it does not of the abolitionists. Slave masters are deprived of their humanity because they are too, unable to do what is right.…
Consequently, as you move through history after this point, this social wedge described between the white and black populations would only expand as time moved on. In 1676, following the backlash from Bacon’s Rebellion, a violent united effort by both slaves and servants/lower class whites towards the higher class, plantation owners, in order to avoid future acts of violence towards them by their servants and slaves, decided to attempt to separate the groups. With that being said, the separation the owners wanted was not of physical being, as they wanted both groups to continue being productive, but one mentally. To do this, the owners looked to tear the two groups apart by removing as much of their similarities as they could. Early examples…

Slavery was an integral part of the culture and lifestyle of Antebellum America. While mostly prominent in the south and western regions, slavery maintained a presence throughout the entire country in various forms. Through the analysis of multiple first-hand accounts of slavery in this time period, it is possible to gain an ample understanding of the antebellum slavery system, and more importantly the interactions between slaves and their masters. Slave owners were able to enforce their desires and rules through two avenues: physical and mental. Thus, it is important to understand the methods and motivations of enforcement used in these avenues.…
