Slavery in America shaped the nation's history profoundly, from the 17th century through the Civil War and beyond. This overview examines:
25.4.2021

African American literature has its origins in the oral traditions brought by enslaved Africans to America in the early 17th century. These oral expressions, including songs and stories, were used to convey feelings, hopes, and the harsh realities of slavery.
Example: Slave songs often contained coded messages about freedom or escape plans.
Key figures in early African American literature include:
Slave narratives became a dominant form of African American writing in the 19th century. These first-person accounts of slavery served as powerful tools for the abolitionist movement.
Highlight: Frederick Douglass's "Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass" is considered one of the most influential works in this genre.
Other notable slave narratives include Solomon Northup's "Twelve Years a Slave," which was later adapted into an Academy Award-winning film.
Post-slavery African American literature continued to address themes of freedom, identity, and racial inequality. Prominent authors of this period include Booker T. Washington, whose autobiography "Up from Slavery" (1901) gained widespread recognition.
Vocabulary: Abolitionist - A person who advocated for the end of slavery.
The evolution of African American literature reflects the ongoing struggle for equality and recognition in American society, serving as both a form of cultural expression and a tool for social change.
While the relationship between Black and white Americans has changed considerably since the Jim Crow era, a racial divide persists. The election of Barack Obama as the first Black president seemed to herald a "post-racial society," but discrimination and disadvantages continue to affect African Americans in various aspects of life.
Legal Aspects:
Highlight: The Black Lives Matter movement emerged in response to systemic racism and police brutality against African Americans.
Economic Aspects:
Quote: "The financial reserves of Black people is often precarious... any setback can be devastating."
Social Aspects:
Highlight: The United States continues to grapple with issues of race, and true equality remains a distant goal for many African Americans.
Despite Constitutional amendments granting rights to African Americans, Jim Crow laws emerged to restrict their freedoms and maintain white control. These laws enforced racial segregation under the guise of "separate but equal" facilities, though in reality, facilities for Black citizens were vastly inferior.
Definition: Jim Crow laws were state and local statutes that legalized racial segregation and discrimination against African Americans from the late 19th century until 1965.
The impact of Jim Crow laws was far-reaching:
These laws effectively replaced slavery as a means of oppressing and controlling the Black population, severely limiting their rights and opportunities.
Example: Under Jim Crow, Black Americans might be required to use separate water fountains, attend different schools, or sit in designated areas of public transportation.
Slavery in America began in the 17th century as part of the transatlantic slave trade. Africans were forcibly brought to the American colonies and sold into chattel slavery, treated as property rather than human beings. Slavery was legal in most of the 13 original colonies, with slaves denied basic rights and education.
The issue of slavery was a key factor leading to the American Civil War. In 1863, President Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, declaring slaves in Confederate states to be free. This marked the beginning of the Reconstruction era, aimed at rebuilding the nation and integrating former slaves into society.
Highlight: Three critical Constitutional amendments were passed during Reconstruction:
- The 13th Amendment abolished slavery
- The 14th Amendment granted citizenship to former slaves
- The 15th Amendment gave African American men the right to vote
However, the promise of full equality remained unfulfilled. Many former slaves became sharecroppers, still economically dependent on white landowners. The "Underground Railroad" helped some slaves escape to free states, but laws like the Fugitive Slave Act required the return of escaped slaves.
Vocabulary: Sharecropping - A system where farmers worked land owned by others in exchange for a share of the crop, often leaving them in debt.
