Francis Adams 'Propaganda Techniques In Skit'

In our skit, we used many propaganda techniques such as repetition, plain folk, card stacking and testimonials. During the dialogue of the 4 people, at the end of giving great reasons why the south is better than the north, Ayush and Jasmine say “ And we have money” many times. This is an example of the repetition that occurs in the skit, with which we use to emphasize the economic opportunity of the South.

This illustrated the tarnished relationship with the Native Americans as the South considered them savages and continued to try to take their

The southern colonies were under English rule, and they didn 't want any of their goods to be traded away to any other country other than England.

Soon enough, European planters developed vast sugarcane plantations, and England knew exactly who to trade with. The West Indies as well as Brazil. This brought a lot of success to the English economy, and since they prospered, they became lenient towards the colonists in America. This was the beginning of salutary neglect, and eventually, the colonists noticed the abandonment from the Europeans. They decided to use this neglect to their own advantages, and they started to trade with other countries other than England, ignoring the Navigation Acts. More countries wanted the sugar and rice of the southern colonies, and this meant higher demands, which lead the the growth of plantations as well as the population of African slaves in America (especially the South). Not only that, when the English tightened up their neglect right around the end of the French and Indian War the South’s economy was the least affected. The English Navigation Acts stifled the mixed economies of the New England and Middle colonies, however because the Southern colonies’ economy did not really
