Issues of Slavery, law, and Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl

Back in the times during the Revolutionary War and long after there were issues of slavery, slavery was a large part of living and most farmers or workers had slaves who they had work for them, fed poorly, beaten harshly and even killed. In most of my readings I've taken note of how there would be several different issues where a man would be killed by their woman slave, yet the slave was using self defense and she would be hanged anyways, or other issues that had to do with rape or conflicts with slaves children and revolts. Over the years they kept creating new laws and punishments, fines, more years of slavery and banishment for slaves.

This was a difficult time for America, many accounts and books at the time described the Native Americans and African Americans as savages, barbarians, or cannibals. The truth is that the Europeans were the savages, it's strange that the Europeans mostly go by the Bible, they know the Bible very well but when it came to dealing with the different races in America they did not go by the book so to speak. This has to do a lot with the Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl where a woman born into slavery at every turn tries as hard as she can to be free, she hides for years from her master who has tried to rape her before and it seems every decision she makes seems to makes things worse for her and her children.

In my opinion I find it amazing how over times every slave owner thought having slaves was ok in the first place, it didn't occur to any of the Europeans that they invaded America and took over their land, owning or taking land wasn't something the Native Americans even though of until they arrived, but sadly throughout History, whoever had the weapons called the shots, in Medieval times the castle guards had the swords and bows and arrows, the Europeans had the guns.

I need to correct my statement before that Europe coming to America isn't the first account of race being a issue, much much earlier than that were the Romans and Jews, in which the Romans would just kill them if they knew a person was a Jew, the Romans believed in Apollo while the Jews believed in Jesus, I'm not sure why it started to where Rome became a hater of the Jewish people, I'm guessing it had more to do with their Emperor than anything, but this is an example of different beliefs and a situation snowballing into the extreme.
