Colonial+America

Colonial America I have watched a video about The Navigation Acts, the video was correct and it gave information in a clear voice. Also, when the speaker was at the end of a sentence music played in the background so the listener didn't get very bored. If i were to improve their work I would have to add more historic pictures because they would have made the video more history based. Eumie: English were not afraid of the colonies, they just didn't want to lose their goods supply.

CCQ: Didn't some slaves get treated in a good way by the people in the north ? CCQ: Why did they import the fish to Europe ? CCQ: I think it is stupid to import the fish to Europe because Europe is all surrounded by the ocean and lake while other continent have little water capacity and low amount of lakes so they could import it there instead and make more money. Main Idea: Europeans had a strong hold on the Navigation Acts which allowed the Colonies to trade with England only and the ships Crewmen had to be from England. CCQ: Why did the crewman have to be from England and not from another country ? They had slaves didn't they ?



The picture above represents a Northern farm where slaves spend their day working. Northern Colonies: In New England there was a constant change in the weather and farmers were not able to grow their crops all year long. This was a problem because crops were the main source of making money.

I disagree because the Navigation Acts were originally made so England would have power over the colonies not because of salutary neglect.

If the colonists paid the slaves they would have any money and of course that was not an option. During that time money was everything paying the slaves meant having to keep less slaves ( because all the slaves being paid was too much money) and in that situation that would be forced to work. So the colonist got the idea of bringing Africans to America taking away all their rights and get to keep all of the money they make.

The story of Olaudah Equino could be fake but it shouldn't matter because there are other historic evidences that corespond with what was told by Olaudah but these evidences were made by white me ( why does that make such a difference?), it also does not matter because it slavery still happened and it still ruined lives and took away people's humanity ; this book gives you a more visual point of view about slavery.

Eumie: Other accounts from other people that match Olaudah's

After I found out how Olaudha made his fortune by buying and selling slaves it does not change what I think of his book because what he lived through was still real and although he was a bad guy it doesn't mean that the other slaves were like him. Some slaves died because of tortune, sun strokes and mal nurishment. I don't think that this news should change anyone's opiniom because there are other slaves whohave died slaves and were never free. There wer children who lived their whole lives witout knowing what the meaning of freedom was. Just because Olaudah was a bad person does not mean the other 11 million slaves were too.



__**Homework 9/242010 :**__

Olaudah Equino was a slave at 11 years old but bought his freedom, yet he started a slave trading business which shows he is a hypocrite but yet he taught himself and freed himself which makes him very clever, yet very hypocritical.
