How do youthink slavery influenced the evolution of both black and white America?

Answer 1

Slavery was an evil institution. The United States is not the only country to have had slavery, yet we are the only country being held accountable for it. There is slavery today in third world countries, and yet no one wants to face that fact. Today it is not white people having slaves, but black countrymen in African countries. Hold those evil men accountable. If one race to to apologize throughout history for it, then all races should. I don't think it is fair for me to have to apologize for what happened 200+ years ago, I was not even born. It is time we start holding individuals responsible for what they do and not entire races. I am not the mouthpiece for the entire Caucasian race, and not all Caucasians are racist. There is as much racism that goes on every culture. If someone is black asking me to look beyond the color of their skin, I ask the same thing for me.

Answer 2

Societies, cultures, both are totally dynamic entities. Slavery was, at the beginning of American culture, as common as owning your own real estate. Most of the founding fathers, including Washington and Jefferson, owned slaves for example. Over time, the culture changed, as is normal. White America pretty much adapted to the changes as they came while black America was bitter, wanting what, even they didn't know. Many finally adapted and became normal American citizens while others harbor the bitterness to this day. President Lincoln essentially bought Liberia with the idea of shipping all former slaves back to their own continent where in all likelihood they would have been happier. Lincoln was killed and that didn't happen. The result is the bitterness I spoke of above. The dynamics of culture will change that in the future. We just don't know how long it will take.

Answer 3

because we are now back to the same problem, we are looking at a social control labor organization in industry & commercal developments that are exploiting the same principals today only they ae applied to a defferent race, the latinos are the new wave of easy money for the system and the black & white america is going to sit this one out cause we never got paid enough and we never got the benifits that were promised by ligitimate employers back then here were are know faced with the same situation all over again with exploitation and the blacks can know c the delimma that we the employment nightmare of the rosa parks era and look at all the white people who also lost all their jobs to black placements in a over controlled big brother problem to start with, that never settled anything and ran the country out of money,all the money came from the funds to help the handicapped and the disabiled was used to help the blacks and all the white people who where being served from this fund to take care of us were now and never more going to get any help to get to college or any way out of the slums of dog eat dog out there,that was the money that was gone, trying to make the think tanks develope ideas that were changed for and they never worked and we are now faced with the replacements, that neither can under stand what we been through, cause they have even less to understand with or believe in, too much to text here!and the situation will not be addressed as long as big brother can run off to war, evolved in to a cheap shot again

Answer 4

In that it provided a strong drama, enacted by 2 races that had no real making in the history of the land they both were occupying, thus attempting, seemingly succesfully, to replace and or render obsolete the original unfoldment that was to take place on the said American continent.

Answer 5

Slavery simply proved that the world is nothing but power hungry and always wanting more. Unless we as a nation learn to accept our mistakes and learn from them, then we will truly be able to overcome the struggle sent to us by slavery and evils like it. ♥

Answer 6

I think slavery made the Whites richer and the
Blacks stronger.
