they cannot deprive or divest their posterity; namely, the enjoyment of life and liberty, with the means of acquiring and possessing property, and pursuing and obtaining happiness and safety." -Thomas Jefferson These were the words written in the Declaration of Independence. However, this was not the case during the time of slavery. Even for the “freed” slaves. “Freed blacks” were generally not free at all.
Why is it so difficult to define citizenship? To start off I think I should begin by defining the term citizenship. Citizenship is defines as “an individual’s legal membership of and recognition by a state that grants mutual rights and obligations between state and citizen” nonetheless, the notion of citizenship is much more intricate.

Was Colonial Culture Uniquely American? Yes: Gary B. Nash No: David Hackett Fisher Each of the authors of this spirited debate between the uniqueness (or the lack there of) of the American culture presented compelling arguments for their side. Nash feels strongly that the convergence of the three cultures which he refers to as a tri-racial society, in and of itself created a new and unique culture. Regardless of the origins of these cultures, he refers to the unique blend of diverse environmental factors and peoples caused the development of a variety of cultures that were mostly English, part European, and altogether original. He argued that social development studies showed changes in their social behaviors and their interactions once in their new environment.
Primary Source Analysis: Biography of a Runaway Slave One of the most significant complications experienced when attempting to ascertain a historically accurate visual of an illiterate societal class is the scarcity of primary sources originating from within the aforementioned class, as is demonstrated in the cultural history of the Caribbean and its newfound inhabitants resulting from the African diaspora. Despite the interest in the tremulous proceedings of socioeconomic reform in the Caribbean from the late 18th to late 19th centuries maintained by many, an in-depth study of life under enslavement is always subject to bias, even blatant inaccuracy, when personally invested primary sources are used. This is perfectly understandable, due to anyone having experienced enslavement and therefore existing as a credible primary source inherently being an inevitably biased storyteller. Miguel Barnet’s Biography of a Runaway Slave is no different. Through an arduous, repetitive system of Q&A and interviews, an anthropologist/writer interested in Afro-Cuban religions interviewed a 103 year old illiterate former slave, known as Esteban Montejo, in 1963 in Cuba.
is it copyright infringement? Does it matter, legally, how few or how many chords, notes, and/or words are "taken? In the Copyright Act of 1976, the use of copyright material without permission from another author is considered infringement. On the other hand, there is not an actual clause, or law based on the Copyright act or a court decision that states the specific limit of the act of sampling to be considered stealing. There have been debates on past cases, where the legitimate copyright holder have claimed the sample is an independent fixation of music, that it is small enough to be “de minimis,” in which the original musician does not possess the sampled section that the digital sampling constitutes a “Fair Use” of the original.

Bolland notes that Marti believed that every patria has a unique history that is shaped by economic, political and cultural relations as well as has its own aspirations and traditions. Marti meant that each country is different from another based on its society and culture and should be controlled and run by the people in it and not by a mother country. He notes that this is what gives the Cuban people the community of interests and beloved memories that unite them by ties of fraternity and love. He also notes that a real patria would be a homeland where every person could achieve fulfilment because major social differences, such as those of an economic or a racial kind would be overcome by everyone’s love for their common country. Bolland also notes that
Haiti and the Dominican Republic have long been divided by their culture, heritage and language. The people of Haiti speak Creole, and are mainly of African ancestry.
