...Hobbs 24 August 2012 Chapter 5 Summary – “The Southern Colonies in the Seventeenth Century, 1601–1700 ” Summary: This chapter begins with a portrait of Benjamin Franklin's early life in Boston and his arrival in Philadelphia. This chapter also talks about the growing population and expanding economy in British North America. The most important fact about eighteenth-century colonial America is its remarkable population growth. New England's population increased six fold during the eighteenth century and Natural increase was most responsible for the growth of New England's population during the eighteenth century. Immigrants came to the middle colonies for the perceived economic opportunities. Key Words: Scots-Irish They were a group of restless people who fled their homes in Scotland in the 1600’s to escape poverty and religious oppression. They first relocated to Ireland and then to America in the 1700s. They left their mark on the backcountry of Virginia, the Carolinas, and Georgia.

...------------------------------------------------- Up from Slavery From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 1st edition Up from Slavery is the 1901 autobiography of Booker T. Washington detailing his personal experiences in working to rise from the position of a slave child during the Civil War, to the difficulties and obstacles he overcame to get an education at the new Hampton University, to his work establishing vocational schools—most notably the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama—to help black people and other disadvantaged minorities learn useful, marketable skills and work to pull themselves, as a race, up by the bootstraps. He reflects on the generosity of both teachers and philanthropists who helped in educating blacks and native Americans. He describes his efforts to instill manners, breeding, health and a feeling of dignity to students. His educational philosophy stresses combining academic subjects with learning a trade (something which is reminiscent of the educational theories of John Ruskin). Washington explained that the integration of practical subjects is partly designed to reassure the white community as to the usefulness of educating black people. This text, while certainly a biography of his life, is in fact an illustration of the problem facing African Americans by detailing the problems of one. By showing how he has risen from servitude to success, he demonstrates how others of his race can do the same, as well as how sympathizers can aid in the process.[1] This...

...Summary: Chapter 29 The real Harvey Wilks, in an authentic English accent, explains the reasons he and his brother, William, were delayed: their luggage was misdirected, and his mute brother broke his arm, leaving him unable to communicate by signs. Doctor Robinson again declares the duke and the dauphin to be frauds and has the crowd bring the real and the fraudulent Wilks brothers to a tavern for examination. The frauds draw suspicion when they fail to produce the $6,000 from the Wilks inheritance. A lawyer friend of the deceased then asks the duke, the dauphin, and the real Harvey to sign a piece of paper. When the lawyer compares the writing samples to letters he has from the real Harvey, the frauds are exposed. The dauphin, however, refuses to give up and claims that the duke is playing a joke on everyone by disguising his handwriting. Because the real William serves as scribe for the real Harvey and cannot write due to his broken arm, the crowd cannot prove that the real Wilkses are indeed who they say they are. To put an end to the situation, the real Harvey declares he knows of a tattoo on his brother’s chest, asking the undertaker who dressed the body to back him up. But after the dauphin and Harvey each offer a different version of the tattoo’s appearance, the undertaker surprises everyone by telling the crowd he saw no tattoo. The mob cries out for the blood of all four men, but the lawyer instead sends them out to exhume the body and check for the tattoo themselves...

...former master into the house of Quamina Eddoo. Quamina wants her to marry a man in his house but Abina does not want to marry him so she runs away to Cape Town in an effort to become free from slavery as she believes and live a life of her own and independent. If she hadn’t run away they might have beat her senseless till she wanted to marry. Throughout the chapters, Abina tries to fight for her rights as a “free slave”. She sends Quamina Eddoo to court for purchasing her and keeping her as a slave. She testifies against him in court and it brings out a stir of emotions along with what she and others believe is slavery or not. Magistrate Melton’s conception of slavery clearly illustrates that he does not have the same as Abina. Legally, he believes there is no slavery. He does not want to start a war against the Asante again because it was very expensive, and would cause a disturbance if they went around liberating slaves. James, counsel to Quamina Eddoo, does not believe this is slavery at all. He believes they are being protected by important men and if all “so called slaves” wanted to sue their guardians for doing work or getting little beating, then it would be chaos. Mr. Davis does not see it that manner. He believes the British is of great power and should protect this young girl from this kind of system. He believes they have a right to live free Abina claims she was unlawfully enslaved because she had no rights and was purchased. She was only allowed to eat after everybody...

...L23903002 BIBL104 June 19, 2010 Summary of the books of the Old Testament Exodus The book of Exodus consists of the two different genres, narrative and law, and is considered to be known as one of the books in the “Book of the Law”. It was written to record the events of Israel’s deliverance from slavery in Egypt. The overarching theme for Exodus is about God fulfilling the promises he made to the patriarchs making their descendants a great nation. God carried out his promises despite much opposition, which includes the great nation of Egypt and the unbelief and disobedience of God’s people. The book of Exodus shows that the success of the exodus is rendered by the power and character of God, who remembers his promises, punishes sin, and forgives those who are repentant. It also highlights both the faithfulness of Moses, who follows exactly what God commanded, and his prayerfulness. Some other key themes and events include the promises of many offspring, land, blessings for Abraham’s descendants and the nations, Abraham as the covenant mediator, and the covenant presence of the Lord. Some of the key personalities include Moses, Miriam, Pharaoh, Pharaoh’s daughter, Aaron, and Joshua. In the first seven chapters of Exodus we are introduced to Moses and the bondage of the Israelites in Egypt. The setting is about 400 years after Joseph and his families were living in Goshen at the end of Genesis. God protects baby Moses from Pharaoh’s decree of killing Hebrew baby...

...INDONESIAN; USE A CAPITAL PUNISHMENT FOR ANTI TRAFFICKING CRIME CHAPTER I-INTRODUCTION Background of the Study Indonesia is a source, transit, and destination country for women, children, and men trafficked for the purposes of commercial sexual exploitation and forced labor. The greatest threat of trafficking facing Indonesian men and women is that posed by conditions of forced labor and debt bondage in more developed Asian countries and the Middle East. The government stopped permitting Indonesian women to travel to Japan and South Korea as “cultural performers,” to curtail a practice that led to victims being trafficked for commercial sexual exploitation. However, in 2007 traffickers increasingly used false documents, including passports, to obtain tourist visas for women and girls who are subsequently forced into prostitution in Japan, through the unlawful exploitation of recruitment debts as high as $20,000 each. Trafficking of young girls to Taiwan as brides, mainly from West Kalimantan, persisted. Traffickers use false marriage licenses and other false documentation in order to obtain visas and subsequently force the women and girls into prostitution. Women from the People’s Republic of China, Thailand, and Eastern Europe are trafficked to Indonesia for commercial sexual exploitation, although the numbers are small compared with the number of Indonesians trafficked for this purpose. The Government of Indonesia does not fully comply with the...

...BELOVED Toni Morrison ← Analysis of Major Characters → Sethe Sethe, the protagonist of the novel, is a proud and noble woman. She insists on sewing a proper wedding dress for the first night she spends with Halle, and she finds schoolteacher’s lesson on her “animal characteristics” more debilitating than his nephews’ sexual and physical abuse. Although the community’s shunning of Sethe and Baby Suggs for thinking too highly of themselves is unfair, the fact that Sethe prefers to steal food from the restaurant where she works rather than wait on line with the rest of the black community shows that she does consider herself different from the rest of the blacks in her neighborhood. Yet, Sethe is not too proud to accept support from others in every instance. Despite her independence (and her distrust of men), she welcomes Paul D and the companionship he offers. Sethe’s most striking characteristic, however, is her devotion to her children. Unwilling to relinquish her children to the physical, emotional, and spiritual trauma she has endured as a slave, she tries to murder them in an act that is, in her mind, one of motherly love and protection. Her memories of this cruel act and of the brutality she herself suffered as a slave infuse her everyday life and lead her to contend that past trauma can never really be eradicated—it continues, somehow, to exist in the present. She thus spends her life attempting to avoid encounters with her past. Perhaps Sethe’s fear of the past is...

...changes. The North and The South The North and South were very different by the 1860's. Several changes took place within the nation during this time from an onset of events happening after the 1820's. Inside of America, slavery became a major issue that tore the nation into two. Northerners favored equality for all, while contrarily Southerners supported the bondage of slaves to continue the labor of cotton productions, and ultimately, to ensure white supremacy. “After abolition in the North, slavery became the 'peculiar institution' of the of South – an institution unique to southern society” (417). This was also another large factor which shaped the regions. Overall, between the 1820's and 1860's, many economical, social, cultural and political changes happened which divided the nation into two. The occurrence of several events widened the differences between the North and the South. Despite the Northerners hopes that slavery would eventually die out and equality for all would regulate the nation, “the institution of slavery survived the crisis of the American Revolution and continued to rapidly expand westward” (417). The onset of divisions between these two regions first occurred from the establishment of the Mason-Dixon line, which was placed between Pennsylvania and Maryland and became the diving line between slavery and freedom. After this, the South's slave population remained strong and grew substantially during this time. The old South was the largest and most powerful...

...Historical Report on Race ******** ETH/125 February 23, 2014 Charmagne Quarles Historical Report on Race In this chapter of our reading, we will discuss the history of the African Americana experience in the United States. We will evaluate political and social issues that have impacted the African American Community. This chapter will also introduce groups and organizations that opposed legislation that led to discrimination and promoted legislation that removed discrimination. The plight of discrimination that African Americans have received began almost immediately upon arrival in the United States. In 1660, while still under British rule, laws were passed that made African Americans slaves for life (Schaefer, 2012). These laws led to the development of what was known as "slave codes." Schaefer (pg. 177) defines slave codes as "laws that defined the low position held by slaves in the United States." According to Schaefer (2102), these codes were used as racial formation to solidify the African Americans as an inferior race. Slavery was eventually abolished after the Civil War but this abolition did not increase the standing of the Black Community. Schaefer (pg. 177) theorizes that slavery set the foundation for the problems with racial equality that we face today. After the Civil War, the African American community did not become the equal American citizens they imagined they would become. Segregation became common practice after the Reconstruction...

...From century to century there have been many instances of people standing up against wrongdoing in the face of great danger. One good example of this was slavery in the United States and the movement to abolish it. Frederick Douglass, a famous author and former slave from the time period, wrote numerous pieces arguing for the freedom of his people. In his autobiography entitled Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, he describes his experiences as a slave and how he attained education, despite overwhelming adversity. His story draws similarities to the fictional character Guy Montag created by Ray Bradbury, author of the book Fahrenheit 451’s protagonist. Both of these authors utilize characterization and conflict to develop their main...

...BIBL 104 Summary of the books of the Old Testament Genesis Genesis is a historical narrative with the material organized a specific way for a specific purpose. The Book of Genesis can be divided into two sections: Primitive History and Patriarchal History. The first eleven chapters of Genesis tell an authoritative story about the beginnings of the world by opening with the story of creation. God created the universe and humanity. The Patriarchal history begins with Adam and Eve. Adam and Eve sinned and thereby banished from the Garden of Eden. God sent the Flood to wipe out evil, but delivered Noah and his family along with the animals in the Ark. After the Flood, humanity began again. God chose Abraham to create a chosen people and eventually the Messiah. The chosen line was passed on to Abraham's son Isaac, and then to Isaac's son Jacob. God changed Jacob's name to Israel, and his twelve sons became the ancestors of the twelve tribes of Israel. God had Jacob's son Joseph sent to Egypt by the shameful actions of Joseph's brothers. Eventually things ends up with Jacob and his family being saved from a famine by Joseph, who had risen to a powerful position in Egypt. Exodus The Basic Genre’s of the Book of Exodus are historical and of the law.
