“Prince Henry convinced his father, King John of Portugal, to basically pull a caper and capture the main Muslim trading depot on the north eastern tip of morocco. Why? Simple. Prince Henry was jealous. The Muslims had riches and if prince Henry could get the Muslims out of the way, those riches and resources could be easily accessed. Stolen. A jack move. A robbery. Plain and simple. The take, a bountiful supply of gold.“ (Page 5)

Curse theory would become the anchor of what would justify American Slavery (12-13)."

“In August 1619, a Spanish ship called the San Juan Bautista was hijacked by to pirate ships.

At that time slaves weren’t considered humans so slaves weren’t men. There for the document said all white men are created equal. No women or slaves. “All men were created equal. Bears repeating. All men are created equal. Say it with me: All men are created equal. But were slaves seen as “men”? And what about women?” (56)

This was when the Haitian Revolution happened. The enslaved in Haiti rose up and fought the French and then won. This scared America because that was a new place that meant freedom for slaves. It could also mean revolt of slaves in America. And all slaveholders feared that.  “A revolt that the Africans in Haiti won. And because of that victory, Haiti would become the Eastern Hemisphere’s symbol of freedom. Not America. And what made that frightening to every American slaveholder, including Thomas Jefferson, was that they knew that the Haitian Revolution would inspire their slaves to also fight back.” (61-62)

This was when the Slave Trade Act was made. By Thomas Jefferson himself. All this said was that America stopped importing slaves from Africa and Caribbean. They would also fine illegal slave traders. But it never worked out because people still traded and Jefferson didn’t seem to care. He cared so little he made a new act called the Transatlantic  slave act.  “The goal was to stop the import of people from Africa and the Caribbean into America, and fine illegal slave traders.” (72)

The Missouri compromise of 1820. All this was was that Missouri became a slave state. But they made Maine a free state to keep the amount of slave and free states equal. It was all about balance. If there was no balance then people on either side would not be happy. “Congress agreed to go on and admit Missouri as a slave state, but they’d also admit Maine as a free state to make sure there was still an equal amount of slave states and free states, so that no region, or way of governing, felt disadvantaged. Balance.” (75)

The 15th amendment was published. It said that no one could be prohibited from voting just because of race color or “previous condition of servitude. It was targeting black people. “The amendment made it so that no one could be prohibited from voting due to race color or previous condition of servitude. But the thing is about this amendment (as well as the 13th and 14th) was that there was loopholes. Racist loopholes. (110)
