This tactic was only used to justify the use of slavery in the US and Europe. ¨”Ideas of Africans as inferior, backwards and barbaric can be traced back to those justifying slavery in the 18th century.” (Theguardian.com, David Olusoga) Many other rivaling countries testified at the thought of slavery, but the Europeans and Americans always stated that the Africans were nothing worth fighting for and that they were just as wild as a dog. Even after the “end” of mainstream slavery in the United States, the government created more laws that mainly affected the African Americans of the Nation. Some extremely outrageous laws were created that only affected 10% of the white population at the time. Some laws that affected them are if you steal something as insignificant as a nail, you will get 5 years in jail.
His numerous work shed light on the extent of economic exploitation, cultural isolation, and segregation that dominated the society. The Mis-Education of the Negro is one of the controversial books by Woodson, which attempts to convince the blacks in America that they have accepted white domination as the consequence of being brainwashed. Woodson’s arguments in the book The Mis-Education of the Negro are solid, convincing, and applicable in the contemporary world. Some of the issues mentioned in the book, which were facing the African-Americans, are still relevant today. When the book was being written (1933), African-Americans had no place in the history of the United States.

The people of London, England were not familiar with Jews and only knew what their forefathers had taught them about Jews during that time. Even today we place false judgment or undeservable judgment on those that aren 't like us per say; this form of action is not only considered judgmental, but also closely linked with hatred. Even back during Shakespeare 's time, not many people grasped the concept that you can 't hate what you do not know. The difference between now and
African Americans used as slaves and not recognized as real people was a daily behavior. Dred Scott’s emancipation could have been a step in the North’s favor, however, his freedom was hatefully denied by Southern scheme of
In Ronald. Walters book The Impact of Slavery on the 20th and 21st Century he introduced a substantial amount of evidence from several different articles to prove the impact of slavery on the African American community. Which was the myth that slavery ended in 1865. Slavery, had such a significant impact mostly on the African American community, mainly because African Americans have still not progressed over the 20th and 21st century. People tent to question the humanity, intelligence, and the industriousness of African Americans.
Slavery persisted in the United States for several reasons, few arguments have been theorized to try to justify slavery. Not one of them will find an audience today. In contrast to positions people hold today, many people found some of these arguments entirely within the purview of reason. Slavery existed for several thousands of years, from Africa, where Africans sold prisoners as slaves, to China where prisoners of war were sold into slavery. The thought of human social life without slavery would require an astounding effort.
With this Proclamation Lincoln and his Administration believed that making the abolition of slavery a war aim, they could stop Great Britain or France from recognizing the Confederacy because it had been a long time since these countries had abolished slavery and would not support a country fighting a war to defend it, and so they would help the Union or stay neutral Furthermore, emancipation would indirectly allow the North to undercut the South's war effort, which had and was supported by the slave labor. During that period until our days the Emancipation Proclamation has been admired by some citizens but criticized by others because it did not actually free all slaves in the United States, rather it declared free only those slaves living in states not under Union control. As stated before, this proclamation did not free all the slaves because it was actually set up as a double-face strategy by Lincoln. Lincoln made it clear with an entire paragraph the states or parts of states which were in that moment in rebellion with the United States and in which this executive order would be
Their political vision’s still view whites as the dominant race and remain feeling alienated because they are unable to process what and why this principle of commodity was applied to them.

Till 1702 the Indian slave trade “had been largely a commercial venture, controlled by Indian middle man and militarized slaving societies” (Ethridge, 194). This means that before 1702 there were some slave traders among the Natives, however, most Natives did not participate in the trading of slaves with Europeans. Yet the war in England, Queen Anne’s war, also came to its colonies. This war led to a competition about the American south between France, Spain, and England. To make sure that either party could win, they sought Native allies.
