SECTION FIVE
1. Why, according to Whitefield, does God have a “quarrel”
with the people of the southern colonies? (pg. 13)
Whitefield opined that God had a quarrel with the people of the
southern colonies because of the horrifying levels of
experiences levels of abuses and violence they had subjected the
slaves to; such kind of violence dwarfed other transgressions
that slaves had experienced elsewhere.
2. To the treatment of what animals does Whitefield compare

4. the treatment of slaves by their southern masters? Whitefield
compares the treatment of slaves to the treatment of dogs; he
explained that dogs were even treated better than the slaves
because they were fondled at the table while the slaves are
perpetually referred to as dogs and beasts (Games, 2007).
3. What has been Whitefield’s reaction to seeing the beautiful
landscape of the southern farms and plantations? (pg. 14)
Whitefield shines a spotlight on the opulence enjoyed by slave
owners. He mentions the existence of spacious houses, and the
fact that slave owners fair sumptuously in their abodes whereas
the slaves live in dingy huts and lack basic necessities such as
proper food and raiment.
4. Why, according to Whitefield, are many masters keeping
their slaves ignorant of Christianity?
Whitefield quotes the Scripture which says, “Thou shalt not
muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn.” Does God take care of
oxen? He stresses the view that if Oxen deserve fair treatment
according to the scriptures, then by the virtue of being human,
the negroes, at the very least, should be treated with compassion
and care (Games, 2007).
5. What, according to Whitefield, has recently happened in
South Carolina, a sign of God’s displeasure with them?
Whitefield opines that treating the negroes as second-class
citizens has equally been to the detriment of many white people
have been destroyed one way or another through their
associations with negroes; also, he explains that thousands of
pounds spent on ventures with little return on investments due
to the strained relationships between the whites and the negroes
(Games, 2007).

PART TWO
BRIEFLY IN ONE SHORT PARAGRAPH each RESPOND TO
( 3)REMARKS
1.RACE PC
In Jeanette Kieth's Introduction to her of her book, " The South,
a Concise History, Vol.1." She sheds light on race, gender and
class in the History of America. She speaks on the assumptions
of racism and suggest that it may not exist, but we make it

7. exist. Before the times of slavery and white and black. There
were different levels of superiority but it based on wealth,
gender and race. However, there are references in her
introduction that there were white men beneath a black man
because of his wealth. The reference it's a white man's world
applied to slavery but also applied to the way white man ruled
their homes, acquaintances, etc. It was about the power that
white men held at a higher level than other races. Keith
believes, that because history and the imperfect way it came
about, such as slavery, taking over Indian lands, and Europeans
settling on land that was not thiers; is what brought about
racism. I understand the point, but I don’t know if I agree.
There is a point that one is aware and unaware of the conditions
or circumstances one is about to face. If that condition is
understood and agreed upon, whether the result is good or bad ,
its fair. However, when one does not know, how can the result
be measured. I believe racism is taught by all races, not just
whites.
2.TK
One of the country’s founding fathers, Thomas Jefferson, is
widely known for valuing a type of liberty associated with not
being dependent on others. During this time in history, being
truly independent would require one to own enough land to
subsist on.
However, large plantation owners grew their properties to scales
that no one family could tend to, and required servants. This
became a problem that was much like what was happening in the
motherland; there were too many people fighting over premium
lands. After the indentured servants fulfilled their contractual
agreements, they became “free” in our sense of the word, but
not in Jefferson’s sense. They had no land and were dependent
on others, either as squatters or paid servants or as beggars or
criminals.
The problem came to the forefront when Bacon’s Rebellion
greatly disturbed the “ruling class” of Virginia. The planters
feared they would lose their land, which made them free. They

8. did not want to bring more of these young men across the
Atlantic for fear of making them stronger, and exacerbating the
problem by adding more people to fight for rich farmland. Their
solution was shipping in slaves from Africa, much like other
parts of the world had been doing for hundreds of years.
3.CD
Indians were also subjected to racism. Keith describes how
Spanish explorers kidnapped and made slaves of Indians as
early as the 1500s. Indians in the south had an established and
often structured way of life, but many colonists simply viewed
them as "savages" based on their appearance and differences
from them.
Lastly, class is the theme that seemed to be the most expounded
on in this first section to me. I think the "poor" was also a
mistreated and suppressed group. Keith says that African
Americans looked down on poor whites, who became known as
"trash". Rank systems even existed within slavery. Frethorne's
letter to his parents paints a horrific picture of the life of an
indentured servant, perhaps the poorest of the poor at that time.
Morgan discusses how "landless poor" was a much feared group
among government leaders in the colonial south. Ways were
developed to extend their servitude because simply releasing
them without land or prospects of employment or a way to
attain wealth would bring about lawlessness.
All of these themes are very different, but connections can be
easily drawn between them. Each of them are a crucial
component when examining the colonial south.
