REPORT FROM A BOOK

The book Africans in America is quite enlightening as it sheds light into the experiences of African Americans to the history of the United States as well as their related experiences. A good example is the lives of the Africans during the revolutionary era and how this life morphed during the slavery era. During the revolutionary era African Americans were held in much higher esteem than during the times of slavery. This can be attributed to the fact that they contributed to the revolutionary war and thus were precious to the country. The levels of respect for the African ...

Introduction

Many Africans and descendants of slaves have been demanding for compensation for years. However, Americans claim that they are not liable for their forefathers’ mistakes. The westerners also believe that the Africans were also involved in the trade; thus, they are also to be blamed. There are many questions asked whether it is a realistic approach for USA and Europeans to compensate Africans for their human suffering or whether it is a complete waste of time.
There is no enough money or wealth that can compensate the injustices that were done to African slaves. There is no amount of gold ...

During the 1600s, slavery was a concept that was strongly founded in the American nation. However, slavery was not a new concept globally during this period. Slavery as defined by Littel (2006) is the act of holding someone in bondage or a contract for labor.
Slavery had many forms in history. In some societies, slaves were domestic helpers in elite households. Some of these slaves worked at mines and fields. People back then were enslaved when they were caught in the midst of battle or sold to pay their debts. Some of these helps or slaves were treated with respect. Some ...

Abstract

The Civil War has been hailed as one of the most defining events of American history. The Civil not only led to the unification of the nation but was also accompanied by another revolutionary occurrence which was the end of slavery. Several states abolished slavery during this period. One of these states was the state Washington, District of Columbia. The District of Columbia officially ended slavery in 1862 after the signing of the document “The District of Columbia Compensated Emancipation Act”. The act was signed into law by President Lincoln. The signing of this document was seen as a great ...

Human trafficking has existed since pre-modern times. The European slave trade, which began in the 1400s, is one of the first instances of organized human trafficking and the practice has continued to the present day (“Timeline of Human Trafficking”). A more recent example of the atrocity of human trafficking occurred during World War II when Japan established “comfort stations” for their soldiers. These “comfort stations” were essentially military-controlled brothels where young women (mostly Korean) who had been kidnapped were forced to work as prostitutes for Japanese soldiers (“Timeline of Human Trafficking”). This example perfectly describes the horrendousness of human ...

American Colonization Society: An Exercise in Compromise

Introduction

The American Colonization Society was founded in 1817 as a result of agreements reached during a meeting on December 21, 1816. The purpose of this meeting was to bring together the efforts of state legislatures and colonization societies to create a national group supporting the idea of relocating freed slaves to Africa. Given the diverse group who supported colonization for different reasons, the society was doomed to be an effort in compromise.

Formation of the American Colonization Society

The mandate set forth by the society was to send freed slaves to Africa instead of their emancipation into the United States. The ...

In his narrative, Douglass recalls hearing his master state that he was seventeen in the year 1835. Consequently, that would make 1818 his approximate year of birth and Tuckahoe, Talbot County, in the State of Maryland his birthplace (Douglass 1). Subsequently, while informing readers that his mother’s name was Betsey Hailey, the man goes on to state his suspicions of having a white father. Apparently, while he never managed to discover whether rumors of his white master being his father were true, it remained evident that he was half Caucasian (Douglass 2). Now, the issue of Douglass’ parentage ...

Introduction

Human trafficking and illegal immigration has been a central issue in most debates in the United States. Unscrupulous agricultural industries have been accused of taking part in illegal immigration and human trafficking to provide cheap labour for the industries. The state of California is the most affected by this vice due its extensive farmlands. Even though these industries make high profits margins, the plight of workers is the same old story of poverty and destitution (Lee, 2013). The illegality of this practice led me into seeking answers to pertinent questions from George Gascon, the District Attorney of San Francisco. ...

The federal system of the United States of America is very important in outlining the history of the United States of America. This country has undergone a lot of political changes from the date of the formation of the government (Lawrence 13). It should be noted that this form of government was formed with a lot of critics from the opposition side. However, the proposers of this system seemed to be more powerful to advocate for it. Even at the time of the civil war, the federal system still existed in the United States of America. The constitution of this country ...

The novel The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander and Michelle McCool is another outstanding addition to the already rich literature on racism, specifically that which targets African Americans. From the years of slavery until today, it is safe to say that although there are observable changes regarding the issue, they were only minimal. Proof to this is the number of cases that have been committed against African Americans, with 1,134 deaths involving police officers in 2015. Despite America’s claims that racism doesn’t exist anymore, with the country’s president a black American himself, and Oprah ...

In her article Children Should Not be Turned to Mini Wage Slaves in the London Times, Hannah Betts criticizes suggestions by a renown entrepreneur Karen Brady that children and youths should be exposed earlier to working culture and taking responsibility through being provided with opportunities to assist in businesses during weekends for minimal wages (Betts, 1). According to Betts this will be equivalent to modern day child slavery which overburdens the children who are already overwhelmed by school work during week days. She goes further to quote the 2012 Report by the UK Commission of Employment and Skills which indicates ...

Mary Rowlandson had a particularly difficult experience in maintaining her Puritanism and womanhood, as she was captured by Indians and lived with them for some time. Her experiences, as depicted in the narrative itself, directly challenge Puritan religious beliefs, as well as her understanding of her moral superiority over the Indians who capture her. Mary believes that God has a central role in her life, due to her Puritanism, and so she believes that there is a reason that she was attacked and captured. The book itself informs us of the Puritans' belief in the supremacy of God, particularly through Mary's examinations ...

The History of Cotton in America

Historically, the cotton production in the United States has experienced times of entrepreneurial developments from England’s cotton clothes and yarn. When the factories began operation, the price of cotton fell drastically to ensure affordability of the clothes by the poor people. The lowered price of cotton saw the rise of demand that necessitated England to demand more cotton. America at this era did not have a large base of cotton production until 1830 when the South started large-scale production of cotton. England benefited from 70 percent of this production while the rest remained in the nation for local production.

Spanish colonization was an unbalanced mix of saints and sinners. In the name of God, Spanish explorers, conquistadors and colonists raped, pillaged and destroyed people, land, and cities. Justified by divine providence, Spanish colonization became one of the bloodiest and most cruel encroachments in American History. The document that gave way to these Godless pursuits was the Requerimiento (Requirement) written in 1510 by the Council of Castile. It was read in Latin to the Indians with no interpreters present; Some times it was even delivered from shipboard to an empty beach, justifying the behaviors of Spanish invaders. The document ...

Change is a process that impacts all organizations. As observed by management expert, Kurt Lewin, “group life is never without change, merely differences in the amount and type of change exist” (Burnes, 2004, p. 981). Most change initiatives, however, fails because of the tendency of people to resist change. People, according to management experts, fear change and so they tend to revert back to old ideas and practices even if the change is for the better. This tendency of the individuals to resist change affects the organization as a whole. Also, the longer the ...

Columbus Day celebration is an affront to the Native Americans as this is inconsiderate of what transpired after Columbus arrived in the country. The continued explorations and colonization’s of these individuals is a primary oversight for the native people. Parallel celebrations by cities that recognize the Native Americans have been instrumental in ensuring that the importance and periods of colonization that the individuals were subjected to be not overlooked (More Cities Are Recognizing Native Americans on Columbus Day 1). Native Americans need to be honored and remembered for the acts to which they were subjected to due to ...

The feudal system of land tenure was introduced in Ireland by Normans. In this regard, the feudal system primarily worked on the principle that the ownership of all land eventually lied with the crown. This principle was base on the presumption that private bodies could not directly own land. The feudal system of tenancy completely disregarded and did not recognize the modern relationship between the landlord and tenants. To this end, grants of land over a period of years were regarded as creating personal contracts only. Nevertheless, it did contain certain characteristics of modern landlord-tenant relationship. The land ownership structure ...

The concept of oppression is the main idea that this writer intends to tackle in this paper. The root cause of such concept is the belief of oppressors that “they have greater moral worth than others” (Hodge 89). Three main sub-points of oppression are further discussed here. First, oppression is manifested at two extremes. Second, identifying the source of power identifies where oppression begins. Finally, a person can belong to both the oppressor group and the oppressed groups.
This writer initially believed that persons can be considered victims of oppression only when they are regularly at the receiving end ...
