re: Help on this question in my daughter's AP US History class.

I would agree and say that had it not been for slavery George would be sitting outside of a mud hut with a bone through his nose and fanning flies with a zebra tail!

At the end add the Charles Barkley quote about being glad his ancestors got on the boats, and walk off with the boom. Make the teacher justify the bad grade for the truth on a stupid subjective assignment.

I guess you can start with this volcanic and then pare it down depending on what definitional gymnastics you want to engage in.

Bill Maher on Slavery

Tell your daughter to copy Bill’s rant here on paper and turn it in.

Yeah, GF and BT would still be in Africa.

Geez, this isn't the end of the world! Let your daughter from an argument and answer the question. Yes, an inflammatory question, but young people can't run way from everything that is uncomfortable or biased. Let her justify her answer in her own words. If, as a parent, you don't like the answer, there will be a time to teach her the correct answer. Kids need to develop their skills to fight idiots, not run away from them.

"Protests which occurred in the United States during the summer of 2020 after the deaths of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor can be partially blamed on the Founding Fathers' handling of the slavery question back in 1789.

Do you agree or disagree with the statement above? Justify."

“I reject your false premise as irrelevant.”

OUTLINE for a brief treatment

1. The worldwide slave trade, onerous and oppresive, was for a period practiced heavily in the British colonies everywhere including in North America.

2. the supply chain of slaves is headed in various parts of Africa, where black Africans themselves captured and enslaved other black Africans for several centuries. The slaves that wound up in North America were from the central west coast of Africa where black Africans enslaved blacks and readied them in deplorable conditions as prisoners they hoped to sell.

3. During the period of around 1720 through 1810 or so a number of these slaves were brought into North America.

4. Also during this period the colonies later known as the USA, after a revolt in 1776, was involved with freeing itself from oppresive British rule over the issue of no representation and disagreement with contemporaneous British laws.

5 Shortly after the USA became independent, the issue of slavery was tended to, with first a ban on the further importation of black Africans as sold to traders by other black Africans. This was around 1710 (SHE'LL NEED DATES). From that point until the US Civil war of 1861 through 1865, maintaining slavery became a national issue that grew larger as time passed.

6. Blacks were freed by then US president, Abraham Lincoln, with the Emancipation Proclamation - though some thought it was merely a political move for which Lincoln, was said to care very little beyond politics. During the war slaves were present in ALL US states.

7. After the civil war, US leadership installed carpetbaggers and scalawags, a period termed 'Reconstruction' seen as punishment for states who were on the losing side of the war, still echoing the core issues of the civil war, seen as a struggle for the rights of states to govern themselves.

8. The USA gradually came out of the control of the punitive central government - and into the period of industrialization by a small set of robber barons who also could not care less about the former slaves, who had no foundation for remediated improvements and education which were badly needed. This was also the period when the scourge, upheaval, and All of the states were finally free from the treachery of the Lincoln political moves, but blacks continued to make little to no progress, and their plight was rarely addressed.

9. Unscrupulous people in government all across the USA, enacted laws to require literacy for voting. Blacks were oppressed further by these "Jim Crow" laws and the need for their progress was not forthcoming.

10. This began to change in earnest after WWII with the battles for equal treatment and education leading to Brown vs Dept of Education in Little Rock, Arkansas and the event leading to the Civil rights act of 1964, where blacks were granted equal education and efforts to integrate blacks into American culture. Unfortunately this was also used by unscrupulous political forces, namely the Democrats, who saw these votes as the primary reason for the act.

11. Democrat racists from Lyndon Johnson to Ted Kennedy to Joe Biden (yes, totally racist) used the opportunity to enact vast welfare systems to ensure they remained political chattel, destroying the black family, and creating traps that would ensnare blacks in their new system "for 150 years" according to Johnson. Crime and failure followed Democrat intent on a formerly strong black family environment changing to vast lawlessness and chaotic upheaval among the black community.

12. The scourge of Democrat destruction created more upheaval. The introduction of marxist related policy by Democrats caused vastly worse conditions. Many became victims of the Democrat policy.

12. These destructive forces gave birth to the conditions under which George Floyd became badly addicted to deadly drugs and Breonna Taylor had the massive misfortune to be laid with drug pushers in a culture of Democrat policy failure and death.

13. In the middle of this environment, Democrats in the process of installing a marxist government by stealing the election of 2020, George Floyd overdosed to his death and Taylor to a LEO raid into her plight. There is little wonder that these two Americans met their demise in Democrat controlled jurisdictions.

14. Many are working for better conditions in the face of the Democrat scourge and their usurpation beyond the black community spreading into the entire country.

15. Many people are pushing back against the unscrupulous and criminal activity of Democrats leading to their deaths, in much the same way that Americans pushed back against freedom from having no representation in 1776.

16. So the events of 1776 and the election theft of 2020 are related in that way. The events that created the demise of these black Democrat victims was created entirely by the Democrat Party.

17. EVERYONE should be working for fair treatment of all Americans against the Democrat scourge of their wretched and dangerous failed policy.. The people in 1779 could not have foreseen the enemy that would rise with their country 250 to 300+ years later.

So, like I said, briefly.. I pray for Americans regardless of color as the challenge to defeat democrats, republicans who have joined them, and all of their victims. It should also be noted that there were many other victims of democrat violence in the 2020 usurpation.

Become 1 of the 100 million it will take to defeat this scourge. Blacks and whites, all Americans all alike..

Isn't virtually every "support your belief" assignment subjective? Communists can cite things that support their side, laissez-faire capitalists, third way, socialists, etc.. all the same. The important part in my mind is actually understanding why you believe/support something.
