Studying American History, I found the controversy about slavery arose at any occasions. Slavery brought great effects to American society in economy, ethnicity, and ideology. I thought the life of slaves was very tough; for example, they had to work from morn...
This article was the most interesting one for me throughout the textbook. It must sound strange because slavery issues were so tensed, but I enjoyed reading what was said in the article. The letter Jourdan Anderson wrote implies how his life was going well com...
The movement of people coming from the Old World to the New World gave significant changes in history. I want to take a close look at the phrase, “Rather than telling the story of colonization as the imposition of European ways of life through ‘discovery’ a...
