African-born James L. Bradley was a slave who purchased his freedom. In 1834, while a student at the Lane Seminary in Cincinnati, Ohio, he wrote a short account of his life. This is an excerpt from his account.

… I will begin as far back as I can remember. I think I was between two and three years old when the soul-destroyers tore me from my mother’s arms, somewhere in Africa, far back from the sea. They carried me a long distance to a ship; all the way I looked back, and cried. The ship was full of men and women loaded with chains; but I was so small, they let me run about on deck. After many long days, they brought us into Charleston, South Carolina. A slaveholder bought me, and took me up into Pendleton County. I suppose that I staid [stayed] with him about six months. He sold me to a Mr. Bradley, by whose name I have ever since been called. This man was considered a wonderfully kind master; and it is true that I was treated better than most of the slaves I knew. I never suffered for food, and never was flogged with the whip; but oh, my soul! I was tormented with kicks and knocks more than I can tell. My master often knocked me down, when I was young. Once, when I was a boy, about nine years old, he struck me so hard that I fell down and lost my senses. I remained thus some time, and when I came to myself, he told me he thought he had killed me. At another time, he struck me with a currycomb [metal comb used for grooming horses], and sunk the knob into my head. I have said that I had food enough; I wish I could say as much concerning my clothing. But I let that subject alone, because I cannot think of any suitable words to use in telling you.…

Question: How did James L. Bradley obtain his freedom?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

By working in his spare time for a number of years (which often meant sleeping only three hours a night!), Bradley was able to buy his freedom. During his time as a slave, Bradley regretted his lack of schooling.

Eyewitness Accounts of the Holocaust . How should the Holocaust be remembered today and in the future?

Answers

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

How should the Holocaust be remembered today and in the future?

As one of the worst moments of human decay. As one of the most terrible atrocities committed against humans. A sad event that new generations have to remember to never repeat conducts like those.

There is a term that can be applied here, Genocide. Genocide means the deliberate attempt to destroy an entire group of people, as was the case of the Holocaust.

The Holocaust was the persecution and murder of 6 million Jews by the Nazi Party. Since 1933, when the Nazis became the party in power, they believed in race supremacy and wanted to create a supreme race in Germany, getting rid of Jewish people. Nazis believed that Germans were a "pure race" and Jewish were inferior people.

Question 2: Three documents are described below: Explain whether each document could be used to support this newspaper's account of American opinion about overseas expansion. If the document could not be used to support the newspaper's account, explain why not.

Answers

Hello. You have not submitted the documents to which this text refers, which makes it impossible for this question to be answered accurately. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

Documents can support a newspaper's report if they present information that justifies it and shows that the newspaper is correct, otherwise the documents are not able to support the newspaper. For example, if the newspaper shows that overseas expansion is beneficial, the documents must be able to show the benefits achieved with this expansion, or present the benefits that can occur through it. The same should happen if the newspaper presents the overseas expansion as something maleficent, the documents must show the disadvantages that this expansion would cause.

Read the passage.

The official class naturally disliked to see people leave the country and were disposed to sneer at almost everything American. Being well educated at the university and holding their offices for life, they were looked up to with great respect by the common country-people. NO wonder, therefore, that to the official class many things in America seemed bizarre. Just think, a railsplitter being president and a tailor vice-president! Besides, was not almost everybody in America carrying revolvers, and quick on the trigger on slight provocation? Was not justice administered by mobs or vigilance committees? In addition to that, there was negro slavery and so much humbug—"American humbug!” Why should any one go to a country like that?
Some had gone, however, following the Sloopers of '25 from 1836 on, but they were mostly tenants or very poor farmers who had barely scraped up enough to pay the passage on sailships and canal boats as far as Chicago or Milwaukee. Of some of the few educated persons leaving it was said they were no longer safe at home and that for them America was a safer and more suitable place. Letters were coming back from the poor emigrants, telling how much land they had acquired for little or nothing, how much stock they had and how they fared on pork, eggs, and white bread every day, instead of in Norway (as they used to say) "one day on soup and herring and the next day on herring and soup,” or "one day mush and milk and the next day milk and mush.”
