In my opinion, that is just not fair, they did not ask to come over to our country, we brought them here. We are the ones to blame. Yet,...

    To Be A Slave Essay submitted by Anonymous The only things that come to my mind when I think of slavery and of the book To be a Slave are either misunderstanding or very negative.

Slaves were considere...

  • Plantation Owners In A Higher Position
