The slaveholding system had become self-sufficient and this dictated the end of many tribal practices among black slaves. Blake, by Martin R. Delany, takes place in the antebellum period in America. One may realize that most of the slaves depicted in the novel are now converted to Christianity, their masters’ religion. The problem here is that this conversion is nothing less than a subversive way to control the group of slaves in the Franks plantation. Master Frank uses religion to pour fear and obedience in his slaves’ minds.
From the moment Christopher Columbus set foot on the “New World” now known as the Americas, history was changed forever. As Spanish conquistadors rummaged through the lands in search of wealth, they observed many different cultures; the Aztecs, Incas, and Mayas were just a few of the tribal communities that were overtaken in the name of Spain, through the name and benevolence of their Christian God. As in the case of the Aztecs, the Spaniards used the tactic of gaining control of the ruler in order to gain control of the people; the Spaniards were aided by disease, which ended up killing thousands of Indians and weakened thousands more. In the case of the Mayas, the Andean religious culture would not surrender easily to Christianity, which ultimately led to ugly and protracted eradication campaigns by the European church. The conquistadors “truly believed that they were serving God” when they sought to convert the indigenous populations of the Americas; these God-serving military men became exasperated and irate when these civilizations could not and would not perceive the superiority of Christianity, nor the need for salvation of their souls under this unfamiliar monotheistic religion devoid of their beliefs (38).
It was a reaction to wars, religious views, and poverty. The first settlement of Amish in America was in Berks County, Pennsylvania but later moved. Due to land issues and security concerns, many Mennonites spread throughout the eastern seaboard. The Mennonites remaining in Europe slowly merged with their congregations.

In the late years of the 19th century, survivors of a recent civil war began their focus on new life and agriculture development in America. As before, the difference between northern and southern production differed in that the north relied on trade, fishing, and factories while in the south, most land was owned by few wealthy land owners and used slave labor to operate them. However, following the civil war, plantations were destroyed and many Americans sought for a new way of life and agricultural progress. Further changes in the American agriculture in the years 1865-1900 were brought about by technology, government policies, and economic conditions. As the movement of individualism shifted toward the West, Americans became more involved
Then centuries later, the Indian Removal Act of 1830 where the Indians were removed from their native grounds and put them on reservations.

However, there is no evidence to show that class inequities in educational attainment have shown any trends to decline. Social class background has a powerful influence on the child’s education attainment. For example, middle class families may get most of the places at elite universities, better grades, higher pay rate, and may stay longer in education. One popular theory of class differences in achievement is that richer parents can afford to send their children to private education, where- arguable- their quality of teaching is better than at state school, because they may have the better equipment to explain elaborate ideas, they have smaller classes so there is more teacher-pupil interaction during lesson time. Official statistics shows that 7% of the British children go to private schools, of the 7%, 90% of them go to elite universities, like Oxford, Cambridge.
Ciera Johnson Reaction Paper AFA 3104 “Go Sound the Trumpet” Reading the Article Go Sound the Trumpet by Larry Rivers has put into perspective that basically ‘you reap what you sew’. Slave masters had tried to control the slaves every being but could not control their soul. Religion is an outlet to freedom for some.
