CH 3

            This is way I enjoy learning about history because I always catch myself thinking about how life would have been if this land were still the Natives. What would the world be like? I’ve never given much thought to the question; whether African slaves were seen has immigrants to the new world.  This questions can have countless answers however, I believe that yes they were immigrants but so where the humans that kidnapped them.  Also another point, does it make them immigrants even though they were force to come to the New world.  I strongly believe that the only humans who are not immigrants to some parts of the United States are Native people.  This was once their land sadly to say they just couldn’t over come the Europeans.  The Native people are the only ones who have the right to say who’s an immigrant because this was their motherland not ours.

            The other statement that really grabbed my attention which was on page 55, where it says that 10 percent of Americans people their ancestors are the African immigrants who were brought by force.  Today it seems like half of this world does not know this fact. One always thinks of their ethnicity being more superior then other ethnicities.  A lot of us were born here and many of our great grandparents where also born here which means that we are much more connected to each other then we think we are, this world is not as big as we think it is. Even though we might be very much connected there are still many problems with people thinking that they are much better because their ancestors took over so many lands and what not. 

            What would have been great was if these African who were slaves and traded off would had written latters about their experience. It’s one thing reading it from the book and receiving all these interesting facts, but when you read it from the person who is experiencing then it is much more meaningful. However, it makes much sense like how were we talking a in class and Andrews was saying that they did not teach them how to read or write because they did not wont their history to exist. Over all this book is outrageously interesting and it makes one want to keep on reading.
