After the United States was formed, black people were enslaved and treated terribly. They were looked down upon by whites. There was a transformation in the political and legal status of African Americans when Blacks were freed from slavery and began to have rights as citizens. Despite these developments, many economic and demographic characteristics of African Americans at the end of the nineteenth century were not that different from what they had been in the mid-1800s. African Americans were not made citizens until the Fourteenth Amendment was ratified in 1868. Ninety percent of African Americans still lived in the Southern US in 1900 -- roughly the same...

Not only did explorers from Europe brings new disease to the new world but they brought syphilis over to Europe that had never been an issue until the exploration period began.

...In the 18th to 19th century, slave institutions were dominant in America. The most afflicted people were the Africans and the African Americans. However, not everyone supported the idea of slavery in such a first-class nation. Some were against it, and they struggled to ensure that the inhuman act was stopped. Thomas Jefferson was against the institution of slavery in America. His personal views can be well traced from notes and letters he sent to various leaders. For one, Jefferson was against slavery because he believed that all men were created equal. No man is superior than the other, and hence slavery was an inhuman act that set the victims to pain and torture. He thought that white man was just as equal to black man and there should be no difference in the manner that the two are treated. In his reply letter to Mr. Benjamin Banneker on August 30, 1791, he expressed how a black man has equal talent as a white man (Letter to Benjamin Banneker). None of these individuals should live in degraded conditions. Color does not justify slavery of the Africans and African Americans. To Jefferson, the institutions of slavery were a source of division. The white men intended to retain and enslave black men in American so that they would save the...

... Dutch, French, and English were different based on the way they would establish colonies but after awhile the Indigenous people were tired of these people invading their lands and began to revolt and cause uprisings. The difference between the Spanish and the rest of the colonies was that the Spanish would just come in and overthrow these people and take over their lands. The Dutch, English, and French where they tried establishing treaties with these people and working with them to establish English Law and help build cities. These European colonies did not have a problem at first because the Indigenous people were not living where these colonies were trying to establish. The Indian people would constantly be on the move following the animals, because where ever the animals went that is where the food would be. These European colonies did not know that they had to hunt and harvest crops in order to provide food for themselves. In their countries they saw hunting as a hobby and sport where only the rich would participate in, so for people who had never done it they did not know what to do. The Spanish had good intentions once they came to the Americas, Christopher Columbus’s plan was to build forts and trading posts where merchants could trade with local peoples for products desired by European consumers for when they would come across the Atlantic and begin to start new societies.

... October 2015 In the past several years, settler colonial theory has taken over my field, Native American studies. Comparative indigenous histories focused especially on British-descended “settler colonies”—Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and the United States—have proliferated. And settler colonial theory is now dogma. At my last two conference presentations, a fellow panelist was astonished that I didn’t deploy it. My research on native New England whaling history made me more globally comparative, but it also forced a reckoning that many places experienced colonialism without an influx of foreign settlers. As scholars parse settler colonialism into its multiple manifestations, colonialism itself remains undifferentiated. One of settler colonialism’s leading theorists, Lorenzo Veracini, juxtaposes the two completely. “Colonialism and settler colonialism are not merely different, they are in some ways antithetical formations,” he wrote in the 2011 founding issue of the journal Settler Colonial Studies. For Veracini, “colonialism” apparently refers to the late 19th-century European scrambles for Africa and Asia—in popular imagery, plantation colonies where members of a white ruling class dressed in white linen lounge on the edge of a cricket field, sipping cocktails served up by dark-skinned natives. Indeed, most of the literature on colonialism explores the history of the plantation colonies of that era. Instead of casting colonialism and settler colonialism as antithetical categories...

...The Impact of Slavery on American Society DeVry University Abstract The subject of slavery has been the focus of a variety of controversies, debates, and protests throughout American history. Besides the Civil War era there has not been another time in history when slavery has been such a volatile topic as it has become in the last half decade. Even in modern day America the subject of slavery evokes significant discussions and has influenced legislative decisions such as the recent removal of the Confederate flag from South Carolina’s State House grounds and other government and public locations throughout the South. This paper seeks to review the literature attaching the history of slavery and present examples of the ethnic and cultural contributions that aided in the growth and diversity of America. It will also introduce examples of today’s societal issues including educational, economic, and social variances; the right to support cultural heritage; and the significant role history plays in influencing decisions made in America today. Introduction American history is filled with heinous acts that many would like to forget happened; slavery is no exception. Although it was a necessity of the times, slavery is undoubtedly one of the most volatile topics of discussion today; not just because of the inhuman and discriminatory treatment that was inflicted on an entire race, but also because of the perceived continued existence of some of those same...

...thing humans are consistent in is that we do not play nice. However, for people to judge each other on a superficial and meaningless factor such as color is truly bewildering, considering all the many things that makes us different. Because of this type of judgmental mentality, superiority complexes were soon followed, putting specific groups at the top of the food chain. Sadly, those of African descendance would bare the burden of being slaves, in every meaning of the words, to a vast majority of the world due the ignorance of the human race. The movie, The Last Supper, by Tomas Gutierrez Alea depicts the interaction and relationships of the denizens of a sugar plantation in Cuba during the eighteen hundreds. All from the Count to the overseer and slaves had ways of interacting with one another, which was mostly decided on their race and social status. The movie deals with various topics that defined that era in time and there are many reoccurring themes in the movie that can be seen in other periods of time and places. In this paper, many aspects of black culture will be discussed and how they relate compare and contrast to that of whites in the particular time frame in which the movie takes place, as well as discussing modern life implications that certain customs or believes back then have on our culture. The movie from the start makes it clear that it will heavily deal with religion. The beginning opens with the portrait of angels depicted in a church....

Introduction Pilgrim families arrived in Holland in the spring of 1608 and in Plymouth in December 1620. In May 1607, 105 men arrived in Jamestown to establish the first permanent English settlement in North America. While the individuals in both settlements were English, the they were different in many important ways. To fully appreciate our Pilgrim heritage, it is important to understand the differences between Plymouth and Jamestown. This essay identifies major differences and explains how these differences affected the settlements during the first few decades of their arrival. 2.

...discrimination as that leveled against Muslims who are not originally French citizens. The aim of this paper is to recount the discriminatory immigration policies targeting North African Muslim immigrants during the 20th century and the religious roots from which these policies stemmed by analyzing Muslim immigrants in France and comparing across different European countries. It explores the use of private behavior to profile Muslims and change the terrain on which this minority group seeks for justice in France. It also highlights the notorious trampling of human rights by creating problems of national identity and ascribing them to the minority group and thereof demanding change in a bid to attain a synonymous public identity. The strait of Gibraltar is a narrow border separating the North African continent from Europe. It allows one to observe Morocco from Spain on a sunny day. This close geographic proximity has since antiquity fostered certain activities between Europe and North Africa. People have been moving from one continent and occupying the other and migration is thus common particularly between Morocco and Spain. The Moroccan nation of North Africa was under French colonialism during Franco’s totalitarian rule until 1956. During the dictator’s (Franco) regime, Spain exploited the relationship with the North African country seeking to establish dominance and enforce Catholicism over the Arab world. This tension remained high until Franco’s demise n 1975 (Evans 2014). As noted by...

...Angela J. Sonsalla Ethical Scrapbook Part II Clearly for one to understand and practice ethical behaviors, they must know what ethics means. Ethics is a set of standards that informs individuals how they should behave in every aspect of our lives. Because ethics involves seeing the differences between right and wrong, an individual must make a commitment to do what is right by any means necessary. Ethics is not just doing what an individual must do but also doing what an individual should do. Many individuals failed to realize when they perform unethical behaviors there is a price to pay and not taking the time to think things through before they act may cost them their livelihood as well as damage their credibility and character. However, practicing good ethics can result in one gaining respect integrity among the individuals one interacts with daily. Because all individuals are different and not one individual thinks or view things the same, it easy to determine that as it relates to ethics each individual may have different viewpoints. This ethical scrapbook explored 12 examples related to ethical and unethical values and morals as a team to determine what examples we agreed on and what examples we did not agree on as well as allowed the team to discuss what the disagreement reflected in terms of personal value systems. Additionally this scrapbook referred to Team A values by answering a series of questions. Ethics Scrapbook Team...
