How did Rosa Parks require both physical and moral courage when she refused to give up her seat on a Montgomery bus?
alexandr1967 [171]
In a time period where the majority of society were angry white people showed her physical courage. She knew what she was doing was going to get her in trouble yet she did it anyways because of the unjust treatment her race faced which can be seen as her moral courage. Also, it caught the world's attention & that attention was finally more focused on the treatment blacks endured. :)

The line between slavery and freedom was more permeable in the seventeenth century than it would become later. explain how slave
Sergio [31]
Slavery during the 17th century worked more like indentured servitude. The first blacks to come to the Americas were indentured servants. They worked off the debt of their passage and were given land following their servitude. The whole system of indentured servitude fell away after land resources became limited. Blacks were allowed to purchase their freedom, buy land, even some having their own slaves. As the colonies entered into the 18th century, the black population was increasing as slave labor became more important to the plantations. Increasing numbers coupled with slave revolts led to the creation of slave laws in many of the colonies. These laws made slavery lifelong and a status associated with birth to a slave mother. Though slavery was becoming less common in the British Empire, when the US became independent, slavery became a part of the new country's economy and social structure.
