He rebelled against his slave masters through learning to read and write. Frederick knew that education was the most powerful weapon in a slave’s arsenal. With his education and past experiences as a slave he was able to ally himself with powerful abolitionist and political figures. Through these alliances he was able to get former slaves and free blacks to fight the confederate south in the US Civil War. Frederick Douglass was aggressive leader in fighting for the rights and freedom of black slave through education, peaceful resistance and actual war against the confederate south.
From the beginning, Slim was very nice Lennie and George . His tone was friendly, It invited confidence without demanding it. He always listen to others. Slim was kind to Lennie and knew why Lennie did some of the strange things he did; "' It ain't your fault,' he said. 'This punk sure had it comin' to him'".
He often spoke about the violence of racism, and frequently cited examples, which ranged from attacks from police dogs and their club-equipped guards, to being washed down by high-pressured water hoses in broad daylight. Malcolm believed these atrocities, and ones like them, to be linked to racism that had existed far before he and any African Americans of his day were born. Malcolm frequently referenced the exploitation of Africa, and cited that ancestors of African Americans reached the US on slave ships against their will. He did so in order to emphasize that white racism was not restricted to America, but was a global phenomenon that was organized by the most powerful forces of the times, whose desire for power could not be satisfied. By painting the picture that racism was an international issue, Malcolm attempted to convey that racism was not a random atrocity, but in fact, an ongoing international campaign to enslave those without power (nonwhites)
Masters would even read the Bible with their slaves because most slaves were illiterate or not allowed to read and write based upon laws. By reading the Bible together, the masters were providing the slaves with religion which served as a means to connect the slave populations. Black children and white children were even allowed to play together on the plantations, so there was a great deal of interaction between the races. During the time of the American Revolution, the ideology of slavery began to be questioned by not only the North but also in the South. “Relatively few people called for its immediate abolition, but many, including some slave owners, expressed real concern over its morality as its utility.” (Kolchin 65) The people questioning slavery inquired about the morality of using slaves for their labor purposes.
Two of his best used examples were the the popular propaganda speeches made by slave owners in attempt to gain allegiance against the North and the South’s almost hatred of the Republican Party as a whole. One key example that Dew provided was the use of scare tactics by the pro-slave Southerners. In an effort to build an alliance through the South, Southern leaders would use emotion to gain support of the common people. They would give examples of what would happen to them and their families if blacks would be free. These examples would explain how the lives of Southerners would be ruined and that the country would come to an end if slaves were freed.
Newspapers and literature in general had a very influential impact on society's view of slavery. The “Liberator,” written by Garrison, influenced the opposition to slavery by providing everyone with a piece that touched them and presented them with ideas about slavery. Garrison himself was a very strict and harsh man, criticizing the Constitution for even condoning slavery when the Declaration of Independence states otherwise. He appealed to society (via the American Anti-Slavery Society) with such passion to refute slavery that it sparked the interest of many. His refusal to give up and even die for the sake of this “holy cause” is very moving and brought people to oppose slavery.
In 1845 there was an uprising in the Congo where the local inhabitants began decolonizing Congo. In this essay, points will be given as well as evidence to show what happened and how the black nationalists and their nationalism saved their country, and brought their independence and self-government to the Congo. The main driving power to free the Congo of the colonists was black nationalism. Black nationalism was used to free the country of colonists, and this meant that all different genders, ages, races and ethnic groups would have to join together to stand up and fight against the colonialists. The black nationalists were very clearly proud of their country, and believed that they should be able to run it in the way they saw fit, and not have some foreign controllers running their country.
I believe that George is a good friend to Lennie because he constantly looks out for Lennie and treats him well, not the best treatment towards a friend but it’s still good. One reason I believe that George is indeed a good friend to Lennie because George and Lennie are close and are there for each other. In pages 13 through
Ms. Newton’s style of learning preference was Read/Write. I was not surprised at all by my results because an aural learns information quickly when presented in an auditory way. I enjoy listening to people speak versus a piece of paper. I like the visual. In most cases once I get the visual the paper makes more sense and easier to understand.
I thought it was a nice way to end it, by only asking to be a good and faithful servant to his Lord and his people. He handed his self very well at a time as bad as he was given, I admired his confidence in our great
