White Supremacy Research Paper

White supremacy came about in the 1500s when European powers began a process of conquest and colonization. The English and French fought many battles in the French and Indian war. The English defeated the French and were able to control what we now call the United States of America. In the mid fifteenth century the Portuguese began taking African people as slaves out of Africa, beginning a process that led to the enslavement of millions of Africans in Europe and the Americas. Africans were made slaves because of the color of their skin. As a result, dark people became the black race and with the development of a black race came a white race.
