Slavery A Tradition By Susan Abram Summary

Have you ever seen a dog, mainly a pitbull, on a heavy chain, with scars all over, and starved looking. If you have that dog was most likely a victim of dogfighting. Where they are forced to fight for their lives every second of every day. Everyday they must endure rigorous training, such as, being chained up on a treadmill with no way off, bite on hanging objects, injected with steroids or, even have their teeth filed to a point and constantly kept on heavy chains. To prevent dogfighting, the sentencing and fines need to be increased, have a dogfighting registry for the offenders, and implement animal cruelty officers.

In Jonathan Foer’s argumentative essay “Let Them Eat Dog”, he makes a very convincing argument for the consumption of dog, a surprising topic to argue for. However, when one reads through his excerpt, it’s quite difficult to escape the sound logic he utilizes throughout the piece. Ranging from commentary on the taste of dog meat to points about the ecological impact it would have if the U.S. started eating dog, Foer is persuasive and reasonable. So reasonable, in fact, that it begs the reader to question exactly why he would put so much effort into arguing for eating dog, something that most people won’t change their minds on no matter how logical the argument is. Foer even admits at the end of his essay that despite his best efforts, people

The traditions of African-American slaves, from the earliest of times in colonial America, were acts and words that endowed the future of their race with the essence of their past. From the earliest of our rice crops to the females, who provided their masters through repeated sexual abuses, slaves laid ownership to their portion of colonial American history. The key to maintaining the heritage of the early African family was a combined version of their ancient tribal religion and their master’s Christianity. In order to maintain a peaceful accord with their masters, slaves learned that diversifying songs and actions from African shores with slight adjustments in order to abide by the beliefs of their Christian masters. Examples of this

“The great corporation which employed you lied to you, and lied to the whole country—from top to bottom it was nothing but one gigantic lie” (Upton Sinclair).The revolutionary figure that will be addressed in this essay is the one and only Upton Sinclair. Through most of his life, starting from the age of 14, Sinclair was invested in voicing his opinions through fiction. He did this by taking a real-life issue and integrating it into the plot of his literature while a point of view in that literature is given to a fictional character representing something or someone related to the real-life issue. Although Upton Sinclair didn’t intend to, he improved the meat-packing industry’s cleanliness and ethics by revealing unethical practices and being

For many years people have fought for equality whether it is objectifying women or respecting skin color, however, what about the living companions that do not have a voice to fight for themselves? Owning and raising a dog in today’s world is not easy, yet Americans are purchasing dogs selfishly making them seem like objects which can easily be replaced. Much like other freedoms in life, Citizens are blind to the fact that owning a dog is simply a privilege that should not be taken for granted. Dogs have fought and died to earn a spot entitling them as man’s best friend over the years, yet false information can easily blacklist them and make them unadoptable. America should change animal ownership privileges because the increasing numbers of dogs in shelters, relaxed specifications on dog breeding, and the unfair accusations towards specific breeds.

Throughout the history of the United States the civil war has divided the country and brought racism. The nation was badly wounded emotionally and socially after the civil war. Before the civil war had begun, many people had owned slaves and many wanted to abolish slavery. Frederick Douglass helped with the abolishment of slavery by creating a speech on July 5, 1852 named, from What to the Slave is the Fourth of July. The nation had not achieved the goals that Frederick Douglass desired. Frederick Douglass’ goal was to show why slaves did not like the Fourth of July. We have achieved his goal today because many students across the United States are influenced by his speech.

Slavery was a life changing, horrific, and difficult time for the African Americans. They went through several trials daily. They came to America in 1619. Slavery became popular in the American colonies during the 18th century when slavery began to become well known and taken for granted. Slaves worked on tobacco,rice,cotton, and indigo plantations. It was from there that slavery was known to every colony.

I am pleading for your compassion and humanity to avail yourself in co-sponsorship of H. Res. 401 that would provide the compulsory measure to outlaw the inhumane practice against dogs and cats in all of nine countries in Asia engaging in cruel torture. As your constituent, I am haunted all but daily by the screams from the millions of animals crying for mercy of their torturers to just be allowed to die.

David N. Gellman is a professor of Early American History at DePauw University in Indiana and his written work focuses greatly on colonial America and emancipation in the United States. As an expert in Early American History, David N. Gellman gives us a strong background on the institution of slavery in New York in his book Emancipating New York and the road to the emancipation of African Americans in the state of the New York. David N. Gellman’s book Emancipating New York describes the process by which the state of New York abolished slavery with a combination of white opposition, black resistance and political changes. The abolition of slavery in New York was an effort of the above-mentioned sectors of society and government, all with differing views, interests and agendas.

Slavery has proved itself to be one of the most gruesome and unnerving events in the history of the planet, on par with the Holocaust. Due to this issue, many men, women, and children have fought and are still fighting for their basic human rights and yearn to be equal due to this incident in our history. With this in mind, slavery, a horrific event which started in the early 1600’s, was perpetrated against African natives and both its influence and importance has spread into the current day. Although slavery is banned today in America, it still goes on today.

According to the 1800-1850 United States Census, the number of slaves that approximately remained in the North during the early 1800’s initially started from 135 slaves in the year 1800. Subsequently, the number of slaves rose in the North to a staggering 114,931 over the next 50 years. Contrary to popular belief, slavery lasted longer in the north than many tend to realize.

The institution of colonial slavery took root during the founding of the United States, and became increasingly oppressive and denied freedom to millions of Africans and their descendants for hundreds of years to come. As slavery began to grow, the insidious nature of such an inhumane system led to a shift in the way Europeans began to view African Americans. The heinous institution that thrived in the colonies didn’t start out as such, but evolved into a system that dehumanized and degraded African slaves. Slavery is compared to the serpent in the Garden of Eden, entering the colony with stealth. “Its power for evil was discovered only when it had become a formidable social and political element” (Williams 252).

“In 2016, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) estimated that Americans ate an average of 54.3 pounds of beef, 92.1 pounds of chicken, and 50.4 pounds of pork, per person, per year” (Vegetarianism). Food production counts for only one of the many injustices animals face daily. Although they have been proven emotionally intelligent, mankind views these entities as subservient and continue to harm them. People around the world have created organizations that work to ameliorate the treatment of animals. As the animal rights movement nobly fights to improve the conditions of these living creatures, daily human activities and the moral values of some prolong the acceptance of animal equality.
