Contradictions, with regards to cultures and their ideological formations, are the differences between the hegemonic ideals presented by the dominant group(s) and the reality of what occurs in society.During the slavery era of United States history, contradictions about slavery abounded, and writers like David Walker would attempt to point these out in order to bring about social change. Walker, in his Appeal to the Colored Citizens of the World, writes to an audience of black slaves in an attempt to restructure society through black solidarity, and proposes quick action, as he believed that the expansion of cotton-farming onto newly-acquired Native American land would further entrench slavery as an American institution.
