Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer and Explanation:

Slavery in the United States was a paradox because it was stated in the constitution that all men are created equal, yet the same document contradicted it and there were laws such as the Virginia law passed in October 1705, stating that if a master was to kill a slave who was undergoing “correction,” it would not be considered a crime.

The Back-to-Africa Movement: also known as black Zionism or colonization movement was the the view that Americans of African ancestry should return to Africa. It failed woefully as most black Americans did not want to return to Africa. This is most likely because they didn't know the homelands of their ancestors and were not sure where to begin(afraid of starting afresh) or what the "strange land" of Africa held for them.
