Sacred Hunger: A Review of the Book by Barry Unsworth
[ send me this essay ]
A 6 page review of the fictional scenario of the events which impact the owners, crew, and cargo of an Eighteenth Century ship, “The Liverpool Merchant”. Unsworth uses the traditional sea story to provide an interesting view of the historical factors which made slavery an accepted part of white society. He takes tradition one step further, however, by setting up a scenario in which white and black alike search for a utopian society, a means by which all can once and for all be equal. This paper analyzes the factors which made that goal an impossibility. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Secession / Precursor to War
[ send me this essay ]
Scholars may argue forever over the legality of secession, but the fact is that before the Civil War the vast majority of Americans believed in the dictum set forth in the Declaration of Independence, that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, and that forcing the South to remain in the Union was therefore tyrannical and immoral This 10 page paper presents the argument that the secession was a result of three major political influences. The issue of States Rights, slavery and the political agenda presented in the person of Abraham Lincoln. Although the first two were the presenting problems, the election of Lincoln was the deciding factor to secession. Bibliography lists 13 sources.

Segregation -- Myth Of The South
[ send me this essay ]
A 15 page paper discussing the myth of white supremacy in the South. The evil done in the name of race likely was not so much based in the delusions of white supremacy as in fear that such attitudes might in fact be groundless. Liberals of all colors later claimed that members of the black race deserved ongoing preferential treatment as retribution for '400 years of oppression,' a common phrase in the 1960s that manages to persist, though far more in the North today than in the South. The South may well be the most racially tolerant region of the country. It cannot be denied that the Ku Klux Klan burned crosses all across the South and terrified black families for years. It also cannot be denied, however, that their very methods were in themselves cowardly, reflecting the fear of the whites for the blacks—the cover of darkness was not enough; they had to have robes, too.
