Chapter 1
Columbus, the Indians and Human Progress
The history about Columbus is the most important of all in America, which in all schools is not teaching this history. Of course there will be some type of conflicts about telling the truth about the history.
The important fact to me is that in life all the systems work the same beginning of the history of the Columbus adventure. There is always to have a sacrifice, in order to obtain an evolution or a change. It is very difficult to accept the fact that Columbus took advantage to the Arawak Indians in order to created a land of dreams for all of us. According with Horward describe in his book: "My point is not that we must, in telling history, accuse, judge, condemn Columbus in absentia. It is too late for that; it would be a useless scholarly exercise in morality". (Page 9).
This means that it is the price that a nation, organization, country have to pay for civilization or evolution. In this chapter tell us the real plan of Columbus which it was not a journey of searching to concord land, like the schools teach us. He was looking for gold and slaves to bring to the king and queen. The good thing about the genocide is the transition of new world full of new changes.
Chapter 2
Drawing the color line
Racism always going to be part of this country . In fact, racism has been always changing, in different cultures and governments. Racism was broad to the United States by our ancestors like the language and diversity of the habits along the way. When the India's didn't had enough straight the Europeans opted for black people from Africa. They were stronger and heartier.
I think, the most important of these, it was the profitable of all the times. The diversity of race give the born of 'Mulatos" mixture of white and black race or black with Indians. The mixture of cultures begun to change and give shelter to black and poor whites. Slaves were not only black or Indian, poor white people made a contract of servants for a period of time and then became "free man" this was only for white servants slavery was the only way that save the people in this country
I am burned in a foreign country, Colombia. The experience to go to the school between grade 1 to 12 are very different from United Stated of America according about I has been written in the books. I was going to the school for 12 years of my life and when I graduated from it, I was very confused.
The type of education in my country is according with the amount of money that your family own. In my cases my family belongs to the low social class. As a result, I didn't get good education. I remember in each classroom were about 50 to 60 students. For the teacher were almost impossible to focus in each student. In the classroom the teacher was the only person who was speaking for two or three hours. The students didn't have the opportunity
Chapter 3
Persons of mean and vile conditions
After the Europeans engage a full ? of slaves ( blacks) the Indians became to be more independent and startedtheir own villages, cultures and privacy. Whites started a conflict about land in between Indians and even their own whites. The only people with big monopoly of land were the rich. Bacons rebellion started because of the Indians been to close by white territory. White servants after finished their contract started to work the own land and became to be accepted to associate. They became the form a medium class, together this people gain so much power that, they started to be threat like a rich. This is how American Revolution started; the English were busy fight the Indians in the West. In July 1676 the declaration of the people showed that there were many people against rich because of how they hate to the Indian.
Some rich people supporters like lawyer and others tired of this kind of crimes, enjoy the revolutions together with Indians, blacks and poor whites, protesting for high rents and the cost of leaving establish by merchants demolish many public markets.
Virginia, Massachusetts, Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, the Carolinas and Georgia prohibited interracial marriage. The purpose of the law was to keep the white population 'Pure" and control.
