talk about the colonization, and particularly, what happened when they left. When they left, because the africans wanted freedom, they took all of the educated people with them. They basically left (through various means) the africans with no experience in running their own country, no education, no recourses, no help, etc. Corruption quickly sprang up, lots of civil wars and discontent ensued. Good luck with the essay! Hope that helped a bit!

Some I ran into:\n\nBe careful that they are learning to read the words and not just memorizing them.\n\nUnderstanding phonics is a big one.\n\nTwo letter sounds "ee" "ea" "ou".\n\nThe silent "e" rule.\n\nDo not push them beyond their limits time wise or level of book wise.  Time you will know, when they get antcy or stop paying attention, etc.  Let them pick the book to use, if its too hard that is okay, but they will realize their limits and see progress that way.

There is no book.  It's a purported speech from a slave owner named Willie Lynch, on how to ensure your slaves stay enslaved.  It is of dubious authenticity.  The source I mention deconstructs this speech.

These are very common subjects. You may consider doing research or checking class notes. For lack of that,\nthere was a big burst of industry after the civil war. Things became more advanced. More people moved to the United States and of course, emancipation of slaves had a great effect on the diversity of the population. Maybe these facts can help you to understand what sort of development you're looking for?\n\nSorry I couldn't be more helpful!

In those days slaves were considered property and were treated as such.  If the slave owner died they were often left to a family member, often passed from father to eldest son or from female family member to a younger female family member.  There were cases of slave owners granting emancipation papers to their slaves upon their deaths and leaving them their freedom.  If a slave owner died without heirs, the estate would have been taken over by the government and either sold as a whole with the slaves included, or broken up and disbursed with.

It was probably different than most people think. Here is some examples: There social life was done this way to keep them slaves how else were they able to keep millions in slavery, well here how.\n\nADVICE FOR SLAVE MASTERS ON HOW TO MAKE SLAVES \nFROM ONE WHITE SLAVE PLANTATION OWNER. By Willie Lynch\n\nHe saw a problem with the slaves they ran away, they killed them, and they wasn't always taking care of their crops so he came up with a genius idea to control them, by lies and deception.\n\nHe said " I guarantee everyone of you that if installed correctly it will control the slaves for at least 300 years."...I shall give you an outline of action – but before that I shall assure you that distrust is stronger than trust, and envy is stronger than adulation, respect or admiration...You must also have all your white servants and overseers distrust all blacks but it is necessary that your slaves trust and depend on us. They must love, respect and trust only us. \n\n"Our experts warned us about the possibility of this phenomenon occurring, for they say that the mind has a strong drive to correct and recorrect itself over a period of time if it can touch some substantial original historical base and they advise us that the best way to deal with this phenomenon is to shave off the brutes mental history and create a multiplicity of phenomena of illusions(LIES)\n\nThey would beat the male slave to the point of death in front of his family, so that there mom would see this and raise there kids in revese roles. Fearing for her sons life. So that would put the women in charge, in others words you will have men slaves with the spirit of women.

I can not answer the question of factory slaves, but I did a research paper while in college on the subject of slave life in the south (field slave).  I was suprised to learn that it wasn't as bad as I had thought.  (NOTE:  I am NOT saying that it wasn't bad, just not as bad as I thought.)\n\nI would recommend a book called "Twelve Years a Slave" by Solomon Northup (Available from Amazon.com for less than $10.00).  This was, for me, a very easy read on the subject and I believe it to be a true account of his 12 years in slavery.\n\nWhile most people tend to think of the huge cotton plantations with the evil slave owner with hundreds of slaves, many of the slave owners owned less than 10 and worked in the fields along with them.\n\nThe rampant beatings (that go along with the huge plantation version) probably weren't as common as I thought.  You depended on this person for your livelyhood - why would you beat them to death?  I am sure that there were some beatings for escape attempts, disrespect and the like.\n\nI was also suprised to learn that there were instances (by some slave owners) to allow their slaves to make furniture, quilts and other things for other people.  Any money earned could be kept by the slave in order to buy their freedom.  (I am not sure how wide spread this practice was, but it is mentioned in the book I referenced and was also mentioned at a museum gallery I attended a couple of years ago).  Some were even allowed to go to "parties" to work - also getting paid for this.\n\nI am sure I will catch some flack from some people, so let me clarify:  I DO NOT condone slavery, I do not support slavery (and lets face it, it is still around in the world today), and I think that it was one of the darkest periods in our countrys history.  I think it was a product of its time in the US and for those who want to condemn the US for participating think of this:  The US couldn't have had slavery of the African people, if it weren't for the people of Africa selling their own people into bondage.\n\nO.K.  Let the flack come in.

1. I have a prescription for my vitamins.\n2. When you transport a prisoner, he may be difficult to pacify.\n3. I tried to read a scribble in my notebook, but I couldn't understand it; it looked like complete nonsense.\n4. During the antebellum, the rebel forces were increasingly hostile.\n5.  I can still remember when the portable cd player was a novelty.\n\nLike that?\nI don't know if no. 4 is a very good sentence, I'm afraid I don't really know much about the American Civil war.
