1) What are Sewall's main objections to slavery and what authority does he cite to support his objections?

1) What are Sewall's main objections to slavery and what authority does he cite to support his objections?
ReplyDeleteSewall's main objection to slavery was that it was against God's word, also known as the Bible. It even says in one book,Exodus, that one who steals and sells a person, will surely be put to death.
Why does Sewall believe that blacks cannot remain among the New Englanders as free persons?
He believes that blacks cannot be free persons among New Englanders because few don't even like the sound of them being free since "disparity in their conditions, color and hair" meaning that they "can never embody with us".
1A: Samuel Sewell, a judge and businessman best known for his involvement of the Salem witch trails uses biblical passages, including exodus 21:16, “ and seeing god hath said, he that stealeth a man and selleth him, or if he he be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death”. By Sewall using different scriptures in the Bible, it proves that God doesn’t condemn slavery as he states “ it is most certain that all men, as they are the sons of Adam.... have equal right unto liberty and all other outward comforts of life”
ReplyDelete2B: Samuel Sewell believes that blacks can’t be free amongst the New Englanders as he states “ few can endure to hear of a negros being made free; and indeed they can seldom use their freedom well; yet their continual aspiring after their forbidden liberty, renders them unwilling Servants”. The colonizers didn’t want Africans to be free because they were afraid of how they would use their freedom and didn’t want them to be considered as their equal because they weren’t white.

1) What are Sewall's main objections to slavery and what authority does he cite to support his objections?
ReplyDeleteSewall's main objections to slavery is the purchasing, selling, and stealing of human beings. He quotes the bible and states "There is no proportion between twenty pieces of silver, and liberty....Tis pity there should be more caution used in buying a horse, or a little lifeless dust; than there is in purchasing men and women :Whereas they are the offspring of God, and their liberty is and seeing God hath said, He stealth a man and sleuth him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death. Exodus 21.16. What Sewall is esstially saying is does not agree with Slavery at all as a whole and he uses the text of the bible to do.
2) Why does Sewall believe that blacks cannot remain among the New Englanders as free persons?
ReplyDeleteSewell believes that blacks cannot remain among the New Englanders as free people because of differences among both groups. He states "And there is such disparity in their conditions, color, and hair that they can never embody with us, and grow up into orderly families" Seawalls believes that the differences of the New Englanders and the slavery hinder the two groups from co existing in close quarters.

ReplyDeleteSea walls main objections to slavery was that slavery was against the word of and teaching of gods word. It was very hypocritical especially around the concept of “equal treatment” but having to own slaves in the Bible it states that “ who owns slaves is going to experience death”. Seawall does not agree with the way of owning another human.
2) Why does Sewall believe that blacks cannot remain among the New Englanders as free persons?
Seawall believes that black should have equal rights as everyone else but people wouldn’t be able to handle the fact that “blacks” are free and having the same rights as everyone else. They would be more afraid of a black being free , then a black being free and educated. So they wouldn’t want them to be “untamed” as the new England’s would say.

ReplyDeleteSewall's main objection to slavery was that it was against God's word (The Bible). It says in a book that one who steals and sells a person, will surely be put to death. A form of having or selling slaves is wrong and cruel and you will be punished for what you are doing.

He believes that blacks can’t be free persons among New Englanders because few don't even like the sound of them being free since disparity (a great difference) between them all.

They will always be looked at as different based on them traits and will be treated differently too.

ReplyDelete2. Sewell’s believe that’s blacks cannot remain among the New Englanders as free people because the whites would not be able to handle the equality of man and that they will not be able to “ grow up into orderly families, to the peopling of the land”.
Sewall objects the fact that he believes all people were made equal and that we all have a purpose that should be fulfilled within oneself not someone telling them what needs to be done. They should not put more excitement into buying people than they would with the things they have.
ReplyDeleteNew Englnders will never see black people as "free persons" they will always have the mindset of African(s) (American) working and doing as they say. Also black people would began to make other black people work for them
