Decent Essays
This episode was about Thomas Jefferson and how he wanted American to be equal but his action said otherwise. From the Declaration of Independences “All men are created equal”, but according to Jefferson he wanted it to be that way but didn’t respond that way. Why can he want us to be equal but make statements like “blacks are inferior to the whites in the endowments to both the body and mind”? He spoke about equal but still had 130 people working for him up until the time of his death in 1826. He talked about creating equality but still rapped women, still had slaves, and still treated blacks different from whites. He also didn’t understand how blacks and whites would ever live together if equal, because of how whites abused blacks. Even

    He begins with an explicit rejection of extreme racism early in the “Query VI” chapter so that Jefferson can later make an implicit argument for white stewardship over people of color. This “door-in-the face” technique, in which Jefferson presents and then rejects an extreme argument, makes his larger idea that white people should be the masters of all other races seem far less extreme in comparison to the earlier extreme position he has rejected. Jefferson begins by describing the Native Americans of Virginia with a quotation that he presents from M. de Buffon of France. The quotation is exceptional, even for its time. In it, de Buffon argues that the natives of South America “love their parents and children but little,” are “feeble,” and even refers to their “small organs of generation.”…

    The beliefs and values embraced by Thomas Jefferson in his Letter to James Madison can be seen by some as archaic and insensible to a growing society. Although America’s values on the basis of economy and society have shifted somewhat, a few of his ideas can still be interwoven into how America regards itself. Another writing of Jefferson’s will be referenced in the course of this essay, since it has a clearer sense of why Jefferson felt the way he did about agrarian societies. This writing is Query XIX from his Notes on the State of Virginia, the final edition published in 1785. The points maintained in this writing support those contained within his Letter to James Madison, even if he is speaking specifically of the state of Virginia instead of the country as a whole.…

    In the antebellum period before the Civil War, the southern states of the US depended heavily on slave labor to facilitate economic development. Protecting slavery was essential to them, and they took every measure possible to do so. Trying to prevent any possible path to abolition, they fought to maintain states’ rights as they believed the expansion of the federal government would undermine their ability to protect their “peculiar institution.” However, as they fought the centralization of Washington which they saw as increasingly despotic, they didn’t see how their enslavement of millions of African-Americans was so contradictory to their states’ rights claims. Frederick Douglass, a former slave-turned-abolitionist, however, did.…

    In the article, “We Are Not Created Equal in Every Way”, Joan Ryan writes about a little girl who loves to dance but seemingly is not a skinny petite child. The author, who has written substantially about the pressures on young female athletes tosses out a red herring, insisting that the concern is not about Fredrika’s weight but that a child of only eight years is being thrust into such a burdensome position. My interpretation of this article is that the author is trying to validate reasons for the child to not be accepted due to her weight. Therefore, I would like to point out some of the logical flaws in her reasoning.…
