Instead of focusing on the topic of African American plantation slavery, Ira Berlin decides to focus on an earlier time period, starting as early as the fourteen hundreds, and to look at a broader geography, looking at Africa as well as America. He discusses the development and the success of the Atlantic creoles, or “the charter generation,” by looking at the place and time of the societies as well as the creoles’ history. Because of their knowledge and skill set and due to the frontier societies of the New World, these pre-plantation slaves managed to prosper and assimilate. Ira Berlin is a history professor and a dean of the College of Arts and Humanities at the University of Maryland.[1] He has written numerous books which have won many

That is the food and living condition of the slave in Antebellum South and the prisoners in
Many people have been slaves and prisoners since they were young. Some of them born there and are slaves or prisoners for their whole entire lives. Most of the time their lives are stuck in the darkness and never know what is going to come or happen to them. Every day in their lives they feel worry, afraid, and frightened because they’re scared that they might do something wrong or unable to do what they have been told.

Kenji Lo Mr. Gleason AP English 11 5 September 2014 Twelve Years a Slave Theme 1: Identity DBQ When people are born, everyone is born with unique and untainted personalities. As people grow and develop within a society, their personalities are constantly changed by outside influences through events that create both senses of pleasure and trauma.

The Civil War prison camps were very important in the Civil War because they were responsible for claiming thousands of lives from both sides. What were these prison camps used in the Civil War?

Conditions at these camps were very harsh and the mortality rate, or the chance you have of getting out alive, was on average 27%.
Whips, cigarette burns, broken bones, starvation -- every slave has suffered these tortures, but sex slaves suffer each of these as well as innumerable counts of rape – ten, fifteen, twenty or more times per day. In brothels across the globe, I met women and children who suffered unspeakable acts of barbarity (Kara p. preface x). This portion of the book really reminded me of The Stickup Kids and the experiences that the stickup kids had with raiding drug dealers. The torture that these men did to the drug dealers for the money and drugs sounds oddly similar to the violence that these women and children suffer.
