Recommended: Racism in america history

My thoughts on Oregon history of racism is pretty messed up and sucks on so many levels. The biggest factor I think is screwed is that the “racial exclusionary clause in its constitution” is seriously not ok and the fact, we not too long ago lifted/ removed it from Oregon. I like the fact we consider ourselves an ant-slavery state at the time of the civil war, only because we didn’t want people to bring there “black-slaves” into Oregon to take our white people jobs, from white people. So we considered ourselves as an anti-slavery state, but would we consider selves as a discriminating sate? I would, because we created constitution to ban black people to be legal citizens in Oregon, knowing it was against the Unites States amendment. I think

  • The History of Slavery in the United States

    1435 Words  | 3 Pages

    Following the success of Christopher Columbus’ voyage to the Americas in the early16th century, the Spaniards, French and Europeans alike made it their number one priority to sail the open seas of the Atlantic with hopes of catching a glimpse of the new territory. Once there, they immediately fell in love the land, the Americas would be the one place in the world where a poor man would be able to come and create a wealthy living for himself despite his upbringing. Its rich grounds were perfect for farming popular crops such as tobacco, sugarcane, and cotton. However, there was only one problem; it would require an abundant amount of manpower to work these vast lands but the funding for these farming projects was very scarce in fact it was just about nonexistent. In order to combat this issue commoners back in Europe developed a system of trade, the Triangle Trade, a trade route that began in Europe and ended in the Americas. Ships leaving Europe first stopped in West Africa where they traded weapons, metal, liquor, and cloth in exchange for captives that were imprisoned as a result of war. The ships then traveled to America, where the slaves themselves were exchanged for goods such as, sugar, rum and salt. The ships returned home loaded with products popular with the European people, and ready to begin their journey again.

  • Appalachia Culture

    1512 Words  | 4 Pages

    So what is Appalachia? Appalachia is no different from any other person in this world. The people had to struggle just as bad as some of us did, but were criticized because they lived in the mountains or away from other people. They didn’t know that once they sold their land for the oil miners that they would loose everything and eventually be run out from their own homes. They couldn’t help being poor or not being able to go to school and get the proper education like most of us got. So why do we still have these same stereotypes now as they had before? One description was that they walked barefoot and I guess I’m part of the Appalachian region because I walk outside almost everyday barefoot even though I had my thoughts about which Appalachian people were. Appalachia is part of our history that people don’t know much about or they wouldn’t have these stereotypes.

    The Americas (north and south) was referred to as the new world since they had recently been discovered by the Europeans. The Spanish, Portuguese and the Dutch resolutely instituted slavery in the Americas by the 1600s. Slavery refers to the practice of holding a person in bondage for labor. Nonetheless, slavery was not new to the Native Americans; it was a common practice with its root in the world’s earliest civilizations. Similarly, slavery evolved and took various forms in history. For example, there were societies in which slaves worked as domestic servants in households of rich families. In others, slaves were working in mines and fields. People were enslaved when they were captured in battle or sold to pay off debts. A number of societies treated slaves with respect; indeed, they were even allowed to marry and own property. Slaves’ children were allowed to go free and were entitled to all rights enjoyed by other citizens. Nonetheless, slavery started to change with the advent of sugar plantations.
