What's Stamped, chapter 11 about?

English

Illusion [34]3 years ago
5 0

Just before leaving office at the end of his second presidential term, Jefferson receives a book by the abolitionist scientist Henri Gregoire entitled An Enquiry Concerning the Intellectual and Moral Faculties, and Literature of Negroes. The book features a travel narrative describing “glorious Black nations”; while Gregoire insists that he is not advocating a view of racial equality between white and Black people, he presents the assimilationist view that Black people could successfully be incorporated into white society. Jefferson has begun speaking against slavery in public and oversaw the passing of a law banning illegal slave traders in 1807. However, because there were no stipulations as to how the law would be enforced, it ended up being “empty and mostly symbolic.”

In fact, ending the international slave trade actually benefits enslavers by driving up the price placed on those they hold in bondage. Writing a response to Gregoire, Jefferson repeats the line that no one in the world wants to see Black people advance more than he does. Back in Europe, opinions about Black people are being transformed by a new “exhibit”: a Khoi woman named Sarah Baartman, whose buttocks became an object of fanatical fixation for the French public.

Who is the antagonist in "The Strangers That Came To Town?"
Mkey [24]
In The Strangers That Came to Town, the antagonists would have to be Tom and Andy.  Taking into account the definition of 'antagonist' which speaks to being hostile and actively opposes to someone or something, the boys would best fit the profile.  They were unwilling to get to know the Duvitch family and merely judged them based on their appearance.  Even though the boys' father made an effort to speak to the family the boys showed no regards for them and even went as far as throwing soap into the tub in which the Duvitvch family kept fishes, and this resulted in the sixty-one of the fish dying.
