Session 1 - Investigator

"bought three slaves"
I saw that quote and then I looked up slave trade. This has been going on for many years worldwide, and only until the 20th century it started ending.

Jim Crow Laws

At the time of To Kill a Mockingbird there were harsh laws that affected African Americans only. These laws did not affect white people as they were made for African Americans.

Whites oppressed
Blacks were oppressed
Whites were superior

Whites offended
Blacks were offended
Whites were superior

Whites disrespected
Blacks were disrespected
Whites were superior

Whites spoke
Blacks were spoken to
Whites were superior

Whites excluded
Blacks were excluded
Whites were superior

Whites were superior
Blacks were inferior
It was the way of life
