Nat Turner Sierra Leone
1,178 wordsIt could be considered almost ludicrous that most African-Americans were content with their station in life. Although that was how they were portrayed to the white people, it was a complete myth. Most slaves were dissatisfied with their stations in life, and longed to have the right of freedom.

Naval Operations During The Civil War
1,743 wordsAt the beginning of the Civil War in 1861, there was little reason to suspect that the United States Navy would play a very big role in the war.
