Did White Virginians enslave people of African American descents because of long held, deep seated racial bias?

History

Blababa [14]3 years ago

Yes, they did:  

  • In 1629, Virginia’s General Court ordered a general muster (gathering) of all the inhabitants (men, women and children) both <em>Englishe</em> (a term they used to refer to other non-English Europeans) as well as <u>Negroes</u>, who were perceived as a separate group. This goes beyond the belief that White culture was superior than the one of the Negroes; White Virginians had from the beginning a long held deep-seated antipathy to the African American descendants.
  • According to 16th century English sources, there was a serious English prejudice against Africans even before 1619. The English tended to relate blacks with apes, unbridled sexuality, and with extremely un-Christian behavior. All of these ideals created a profound prejudice against Africans, and such prejudice was carried to America as well. English also believed that the skin pigmentation of blacks had implications of evil and repugnance.
  • Therefore, White Virginians considered Africans not only as a separate group but as group of people visually, socially, and maybe biologically different, labelling them as inferior to white people. As a result, White Virginians believed that Africans “qualified” as slaves because they were different and considered them evil.

Hamilton vs Jefferson argument over national bank argument. What was the main arguments on both sides?​
MrRissso [65]

Well, Jefferson and his allies thought the bank was unconstitutional since the Constitution did not specifically give the government power to charter banks. The Democrats even said that Hamilton's bank would have too much power. Whereas, Hamilton knew The Bank Of England wanted the U.S. to start a bank and fundings were whack. Hamilton even said "The power of creating new funds upon new objects of taxation by its own authority would enable the national government to borrow, as far as its necessities might require"

How tariffs can help and hurt us in the USA?
Margaret [11]
Tariffs can help domestics producers but can hurt consumers. Governments impose tariffs on imported goods and services to make them more expensive to consumers. Tariff provides revenue to the government and give a price advantage to domestic producers. While it protects domestic industries, it can also hurt foreign producers.
