Analysis: Equality Wasn T Enough Back In 1776

I believe that Equality wasn’t enough back in 1776 If slaves lived up to this day, everyone would be different. In the year of 1776, there were slaves for white people. They all had to sit where they were assigned. Which wasn’t fair for them. They all had to do things for them like chores, cooking, babysitting, etc. When they do something wrong they get punished for it, punished badly. “In 1776, there was no equality for the half million slaves who labored in the colonies.” Everyone has equal rights as of now. There are no slaves at this time of year, everyone is helping one another and taking turns with household chores. Not having slaves and punishing them for little things. I wonder if anyone of them felt sorry for those black people. But no, they think they were trash and didn’t belong on this earth. We all were made with different skin color, sizes, etc. …show more content…

Thanks to one of the presidents. How would it be if women were treated equally like men back in 1776? “Nor was there equality for women who were viewed as inferior to men in terms of their ability to participate in society.” Women did not have equal rights as men did back in 1776 because they thought women were not as strong as they were. If women weren’t equally treated, both genders would have gone against each other. Well, that’s what I think. But as of today, women are being treated equally. Not of how it was back then. If it were continuing today, I would fight for it. Every woman would. My Life If my sisters and I didn’t do house chores who would? If I were to do chores all by myself I would be very exhausted. I would have asked for help. But since there’s only me n my younger sister doing them I wouldn’t have a problem doing them myself. Sometimes I don’t do them because I work from 6 to 10. That means it’s hard for my little sister too. So we take turns doing

This is interesting to see how far back in history women were still trying to get rights and veto laws that were set against them. Men were always trying to keep themselves in power afraid of what women would do if they were treated as equals. This passage is geared toward other men and has a bias against women. This has a bias stand point due to there is no written words from a woman from this era stating how they felt and how they were treated. The passage is written as if women are the bad people and will always want more if given the opportunity.

Chapter 1 of “The New Jim Crow” by Michelle Alexander, that is also a highly acclaimed civil rights lawyer, wrote this chapter to inform us the history of racism in America, and if African Americans really treated equally. When the Emancipation Proclamation was passed, many whites were scared that the slaves are now free because they might want revenge, so the whites made a stereo type that all black men are criminals. When the Reconstruction ended, the south had a redemption. The convicts had no legal rights, so they became the “slaves” to help rebuild after the civil war. Then the prison population of blacks rose so the whites can use them as free labor.

After 250 years of slavery in America it finally comes to an end. However, it didn't go quit well as African Americans wanted it to be. In 1865 nearly four million African slaves were supposed to be free, however white southern resisted that African Americans gained equal rights. The majority of whites were unhappy to see African Americans free because they would've have no more workers to work for them in their farms and treat them like an animal. Even though they had freedom, they were still separated and unequal from white Americans.

The Declaration of Independence (US 1776) showed that all Americans deserve equal opportunities in life when it proclaimed that “all men are created equal”; however, slavery continued to exist for over 80 years. Inequality continues to haunt African Americans in the present day in numerous aspects of life, as is apparent with police brutality and higher poverty rates than their white counterparts.

In the eyes of the law, slaves were considered property, rather than a person. The 3/5ths compromise of 1787 made this evident when Congress announced that slaves would only count as 3/5ths of a person. As slaves were property, they couldn’t earn their own living, vote, or go wherever they wanted. A few slaves tried to escape their bondage and run away. There were a few unsuccessful revolts, which usually was punishable by torture or death.

Women didn’t have many rights until later in the early 1800s. In conclusion I think that it was wrong of them to blatantly ignore what the women in society had to say and to treat them the way that they did. I think that they should have at least given women a chance to prove themselves, because we all know that women are just as capable as

A mass school shooting in America will only be defined as a mass shooting, by the government, if three criteria are met. These being if four or more people are killed in the incident, the attack must take place in a public area (schools in this case) and if the shooter had chosen his victims at random (CNN-1). From the years of 1966 to 2012, it has been seen that close to a third of the world’s mass shootings happened in America (CNN-1). In 2017 there were 10 mass shootings between January the first and November the first (CNN-1). There are enough weapons, according to a report done in 2007 by the Switzerland-based Small arms survey, that there are enough guns to arm every adult in America and still have guns left over (CNN-1).

We all know that women didn 't have as many rights as men, and they still don 't. Women can now do more than they used to, but they still aren 't equal with men. They have had to fight for so many things like the right to vote and to be equal to men. The 19th amendment, the one that gave women the right to vote, brought us a big step closer. The Equal Rights Movement also gave us the chance to have as many rights as men. Women have always stayed home, cleaned the house, and didn 't even get an education.
