Can someone help me with my question
The Peculiar Institution in the Land of the Free
As we saw when the Constitutional Convention met in the summer of 1787, slavery was a contentious issue, at odds with the principle expressed in the Declaration of Independence that "...all men are created equal." 70+ years, the issue was debated while at the same time those people held in slavery sought ways to escape. Write an essay in which you consider the following.:
What are the major arguments put forward by proslavery advocates?
Based on your reading of William J. Anderson's and John Brown's accounts, what types of traumas did slaves experience? How were the experiences of black women and men similar and different?
What strategies did slaves employ to resist, revolt, and sustain their own independent communities and cultures? How did slaves use white southerners' own philosophies-paternalism and Christianity, for example-to their advantage in these efforts?
