Most slaves in the south would work on cotton farms and they would have to separate the cotton from the seeds and other things by hand, until the cotton gin was created in 1793. The gin would only require one person to run it and it could separate the cotton and seeds much faster than the slaves could. Because of the gin cotton production had become even more popular than before reaching more than 4…

In this module, we have studied Susan Glaspell’s one-act play “Trifles” (1916), Zora Nealle Hurston’s short story “Sweat” (1926), and Louise Erdrich’s short story “The Shawl” (2001).

Art forms traditionally associated with lower classes, racial minorities, and women—such as textiles, sewing, quilting, and woodwork—was in contrast, coded as “craft” and designated to private (and sometimes domestic) realms. This binary production was ultimately a knowledge production project, eliciting ideologies about “whose art should be seen (public)” and…

Limitations on Women in Colonial Society Benjamin and Jane Franklin grew up in the same family, but their paths in life couldn’t have transpired into more different worlds. Benjamin Franklin escaped his family life and embraced a world of philosophy, science, and “the application of reason to nature, freedom of opinion and the rights of man: equality and enlightenment” (77). Jane, even though she wasn’t very far away from her brother in distance, was in a completely different sphere of…

The county attorney is an educated man, an outsider; assumably not so acclimated to local customs.
