Many Thousands Gone
Chapter 2 (Pg. 23-43)
Summarization -
This chapter focus's on the broad generalization on the word slavery. The main subject of this chapter is to help people focus on the other aspects of the word slavery, as it was not just picking cotton in the deep south. It was written to open the eyes of people to the slavery in factories in the north, indentured servant positions everywhere, and the general discrimination and neglect that still occurs to this day.
Narratives & Details -
The main idea of this chapter, as said before, is too widen the view of whites towards our history and what still occurs today. As said on page 23, 'the story of the people is never very pretty'. which references the down attitude and negative history the people have experienced in the past and current times. The reference on page 24 'the loss of our own identity is the price we pay for our annulment of His.' is referring to the Christianizing of African's*, which caused the African's* to become conformed into American ways of life, and in return losing their own culture.
*When the 'African's' is said, it is referring to the African people that would soon become slaves through deportation; not the people of Africa today.
you need to fix your citations
ReplyDeletei give you an A
I quoted individual pages, I am fairly sure that is a form of citation...
DeleteI feel bad saying the same stuff over and over again but fix your citations!!! Also when you use * what does that mean? I don't understand. It has to do something with the deportation of Africans right but I think you should clearify. Also Good Job.
ReplyDeleteThe * symbol is a note symbol, as I have a comment or note that I wanted to tell everyone when I use that word. I usually reference the word with the * symbol at the bottom.
DeleteYou are too broad in your statement of a main idea, here, and are thus not clearly able to defend your claim.
