Students are taught in most schools that slavery ended with President Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation. However after reading Douglas Blackmon’s Slavery by Another Name I am clearly convinced that slavery continued for many years afterward. It is shown throughout this book that slavery did not end until 1942‚ this is when the condition of what Blackmon refers to as "neoslavery" began. Neoslavery was practiced after the Emancipation Proclamation and until the beginning of World War II

The most controversial aspect of Gone With the Wind is the film’s depiction of race relations. Though freed from the novel’s positive portrayal of the Ku Klux Klan‚ Gone With the Wind’s depiction of slavery remains decidedly simplistic. Adopting historian U. B. Phillip’s “plantation school” view of the institution‚ the film shows slaves as well-treated‚ blindly cheerful “darkies” loyal to their benevolent masters. Slaves are portrayed as normal employees‚ are rewarded with presents like the master’s

In Romans 6:16 he says‚ “Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient slaves‚ you are slaves of the one whom you obey‚ either of sin‚ which leads to death‚ or of obedience‚ which leads to righteousness?” He
