Nicole Chiappetti U.S History AP Hour: 1 Volume 1 to 1877, Blue Book 1. “A young African boy is taken into slavery” (c. 1735) Page 24-26 One of the most disconcerting features of Smith’s forced removal was his separation from his father, then having to watch the brutal end of his father’s life. Smith had to see the one person he idolized fall in defeat. Also, another disconcerting feature could be how disrespectful the army treated him, and how he was sold off. Being sold caused him to lose his freedom. Some of the factors that helped with Smith’s transition were his comfortable trip, how he didn’t have to go to the auction because he was bought on board, his master seemed fair in his requirements. Also, it helped that Smith was submissive, obedient, and faithful. 2. “The intolerant Act of Toleration” (1649) Page 38-39 Catholics were allowed to practice their beliefs out loud in public and not have to worry about getting in trouble, molested, or discountenanced. Also, they did not have to change their beliefs for anyone as long as did not chose to do so. Many of the Jews and Atheists would have been punished with death, forfeiture of all his or her lands and goods. They also could have had to pay quite a few shillings or be whipped publicly or imprisoned. 3. “ Framing the Mayflower Compact” (1620) Page 43 No, the compact provided a solemn pledge of submission and obedience to the laws, ordinances, and acts that they might declare. But a constitution defines the function of the government, which the compact did not do. It foreshadowed the development of democratic institutions by how they all voted, and the majority voted on the compact, which was the beginning of a democracy. 4. “Anne Hutchison is Banished” (1637) Page 47-48 It seems they considered her as being crazy, and did not believe she as a woman or person could inherit such powers to speak to God. Her banishment was injustice because first if she were a man she would have only been imprisoned, and second they tell the world to exercise and practice their beliefs, but when that is done they punish them; and rebuke the poor people who are only trying to follow the law. Anne Hutchison was out of line to a point, but the severity in the punishment was not appropriate.
