NOTE #1
Note 1: What is slavery and why does it exist?
Slavery has existed in this world in many forms even before
the Jamestown colony. It was a way to pay off debt; people
were used as money and also simply a way to use currency.
The reason it still exists is because people will always have
to pay money or will always need a financial boost. In the
Americas though, it was a whole business. The slavery
issue was one of the best ways to make money and also the
best way to do work from cheap labor. People like Eli
Whitney, Democrats, politicians, and even famous figures
influenced people into slavery and made it an okay thing for
their society.
Years later near the civil war, people from the north
eventually had enough common sense to figure out that
enslaving a human is a horrible act and inhumane, and it
should be abolished. People from the south didn’t agree
because it was where their major source of income and they
didn’t want to use it. When the north threatened
abolishment the south felt economically threatened and
attempted to succeed. War was fought over the slavery
business and over the loss of huge amounts of money and
power. That’s the only reason slavery exists. Wealth and
power. And to achieve this wealth and power people needed
slavery gave both. Slavery also in many areas in this world
also gave and made a foundation for the history of countries
and has had a similar effect on our economies and way of
life. Especially life during colonial times, which made the
old times seem not so hard.

NOTE #2
Was this war worth it?
Some may call it “ideals” or “reasons to fight” in the
revolutionary war. But the reality to fight in the war
was in the name itself, “Revolution”. These colonists
wouldn’t take any more from the British. They were
taxed; taken advantage of and most importantly had
broken souls. Whether they had the money, power and
strength or not, they were going to have a revolution
and turn things around. Many activists also agreed in
what the colonists and people living in the colonies
were proposing when they felt like succeeding from
Great Britain.
Of course then there are the people who say war can be
avoided. The healthy human mind will act the same
with every person in the world. Our instinct to survive
and claim our territory wasn’t going to fail our
ancestors now. The economy after the war started was
pretty bad. The majority was middle class, which was
farmers, artisans, ship builders etc. The rest were
people who came to this country with the intention of
working for no pay for a certain amount of years
(sounds like slavery). Anyway, the colonial American
economy was so bad, the battle forces had to use a
monetary system called the continental, which was
worth less than an actual shilling and had no value
whatsoever, it was easily counterfeited, and was then
put out of circulation. By the time the colonies won the
war, it became a project, like this school. There were no
people interested and that the war was just a fluke. But
it all changed after the United States gained more land
and had their own history to make.
