The Compromise Of 1850 And The Fugitive Slave Act
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. The Fugitive Slave act, passed in 1848, was instrumental in thwarting Northerner's efforts to transport African-American slaves to freedom, inasmuch as doing so would constitute a felony. The provisions of this act were further fortified by the legislative Compromise of 1850, which monumentally impacted those individuals who set forth to provide this link to freedom, such as Sojourner Truth and Harriet Tubman.

The Cultural Dislocation of the African American Slaves
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing the various ways in which African American slaves had to suffer from cultural dislocation. The African American slaves suffered a great deal from cultural dislocation from their native homeland in Africa for over two centuries. Cultural dislocation occurs not only from a physical separation from a landscape but also from the customs, religions, laws, family structures and identity which are intrinsically linked with that landscape. Within the African American slave community, personal identities which were linked with their tribal and family units were stripped away upon their arrival in America without being allowed to be reformed. While many slaves adapted to their new circumstances by customizing their community structure and their religion to that of their plantation and Christianity, the basic understanding of the status of a slave was also dislocated as slaves within Africa are allowed rights and often intermarried within the community. The basic condemnation of rights as humans and this division based on color was alien to the Africans and compounded the ability of the slaves to comprehend their situation within their new landscape. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

(5 pp) Those who owned and worked slaves in the United States felt they had a God given mandate to do so, due to the color of the slaves skin and their "inferior" human nature. Believing that God has given you power, may make you very reluctant to give it up that power. This attitude made the mighty sword of Christianity, two edged - sacred and profane.
