One reason that is important that this is true and not fiction is that it shows you the actual life of a slave because it is also unedited it is not watered down or beefed up its a accurate description of a life of a slave. It makes the reader feel in all sat as a human could be treated that way and that people actually believed that other people or property and that they are better than others. The fact that this is also from a woman's point of view makes it different is the women were treated differently than men to be commonly see the man's point of view and that this only comes from a woman and is just scary that people are brainwashed into thinking that they are better that they others in that they own them like someone owns a car. And the fact that someone could treat another human being worse then they treat animals is sickening to think about.

nots on the state of virginia

Notes on the state of Virginia written by Thomas Jefferson shows his opposition to slavery. This is an interesting point because Thomas Jefferson a slave owner and the writer of the declaration of independence that talks about our unalienable rights to freedom but yet limits it to blacks. Some reason for this difference in views is that Thomas Jefferson was the only one writing notes on the state of Virginia but the declaration of independence had to fulfill the wants of many people and for the South slavery was important to the economy and it was the compromise that people against slavery had to make in order to form the United States. Although it is somewhat hypocritical for man who owned slaves to be opposed to slaves the time period was very different in the view of slavery was different and in some ways the definition of it was also different.

“Panics can produce as much good as hurt.” Thomas Paine
what Thomas Paine is saying here is that you worry about something too much you can actually do more damage than you can't in good if you worry about something a clear example of this is the Great Depression you had a little scare and no balances to counteract it and you had too many people worry about it causing a fallout of the economy. I totally agree with this quote in the many examples that can be shown from this quote their are something you will end up hurting yourself more than you gain from creating panic. You have to find a happy medium in order to create just enough of a panic for people to respond but to respond in a positive way rather than a negative way.

Jonathan Edwards shows how an early American society you had to believe that the Protestants believed that there is no flexibility. The reason that the Puritans came to America was to escape religious persecution and England but yet in America they were doing the same thing that England was doing because they wouldn't allow others to believe differently than they did. This relates to our discussion in class because we talked about how the people that were kicked out of Massachusetts went to form Rhode Island but yet in Rhode Island they still wouldn't allow others to believe differently than they did but that it was really Pennsylvania that was the first tolerate settlement to tolerate all religions.
