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)]]> 2021-06-08 08:08:52 UTC https://padlet.com/17vs1010015/p1yva1gq9ln2i23f/wish/1592292976 17vs1010015 https://padlet.com/17vs1010015/p1yva1gq9ln2i23f/wish/1592292979 During this period many Europeans were developing theories like  the Climate and Curse theories around race that were used to justify the racist practice of slavery. For example, "it couldn't have been climate that made darker people inferior, and instead determined that Africans were, in fact cursed. . . Curse theory would become the anchor of what would justify American Slavery (12-13)."]]> 2021-06-08 08:08:52 UTC https://padlet.com/17vs1010015/p1yva1gq9ln2i23f/wish/1592292979 17vs1010015 https://padlet.com/17vs1010015/p1yva1gq9ln2i23f/wish/1592292981 “In August 1619, a Spanish ship called the San Juan Bautista was hijacked by to pirate ships. The Bautista was caring 350 Angolans, because Latin America slaveholders had already figured out their own slave trading system and had enslaved 250,000 people. The pirates robbed the Bautista, taking 60 of the Angolans. They headed east, eventually coming up on the shores of Jamestown, Virginia. They sold 20 Angolans to that cousin of Jon Pory. The one with all the land, who happens to also be the governor of Virginia.

When she was 19 she wanted to publish her first poem and so her “adopted” father brought men in to test phillis to see if she was smart. And she passed the test but they still didn’t publish her because she was black. “See if a black person could really be as intelligent and literate as Phillis. As they were.

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.

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)]]> 2021-06-08 08:08:52 UTC https://padlet.com/17vs1010015/p1yva1gq9ln2i23f/wish/1592292991 17vs1010015 https://padlet.com/17vs1010015/p1yva1gq9ln2i23f/wish/1592292992 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)]]> 2021-06-08 08:08:52 UTC https://padlet.com/17vs1010015/p1yva1gq9ln2i23f/wish/1592292992 17vs1010015 https://padlet.com/17vs1010015/p1yva1gq9ln2i23f/wish/1592292993 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) ]]> 2021-06-08 08:08:52 UTC https://padlet.com/17vs1010015/p1yva1gq9ln2i23f/wish/1592292993 17vs1010015 https://padlet.com/17vs1010015/p1yva1gq9ln2i23f/wish/1592292994 The narrative life of Fredrick Douglass an American slave was published.

Slaves wanted to fight against slave owners. Slaves would join the northern soldiers. The slaves wanted to join the union but they would get sent back to to their slave owners. “Welcome to the civil war. The biggest change agent in the war was that slaves wanted to fight against their slave owners, and therefore joined northern soldiers in battle.

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.
