AG summer institude

For the past two weeks I have been participating in the AG summer institute. It is very fun, and very, very educational. We have learned so many things it is hard to name them all. We have learned about the cherokee removal, Japenese internment camps during world war two, slavery in North Carolina, and many, many other things that I never would have even knew about if it wasn't for this institute. We also learned about helpful things on the internet, and educational things on the internet, and that was really good considering how much we depend on technology now. I really hope that you do this again next year bevause it is a valuable resource for people who have a thirst for knowledge and want something to do for the summer that is worth their time. The teaching staff was excellent. We really enjoyed being in their classes and learning from them. They really helped us out alot and taught us things in ways that made us want to learn. The guest speaker was good too, they were very helpful in learning about things that they knew alot about and cared about.

Racial profiling

Racial profiling. It is a bad and active thing. Racial profiling is when you group, judge, or mistreat people because of their race. Our country has a bad rep for it, and it should be stopped. We have done this to so many people in history like the african americans, the cherokee, the japenese, and currently people from the middle east. This kind of act is unreasonable for any time, even during war, and there is no excuse for it. All people are equal no matter what the color of there skin is, just because someone is not white doesn't mean your better than them. It happened in the past alot between slavery, removal of indians and the Japenese internment camps. You would think that after all this time we would learn not to judge people because of their race, but we still haven't. People from the middle east are being mistreated today just like people we have profiled in the past, and we need to put a stop to this. Just because someone has the same color skin as someone has done wrong doesn't mean that they are the same as them. We need to stop judging people by their race, the color of their skin, and start treating people as individuals. Imagine being whispered about and stared at and just plain mistreated just because of the color of your skin. How would that make you feel? I bet it wouldn't feel good. We need to start thinking of people as our equals and stop thinking about what people look like. Everyone deserves being treated the same. So start doing that!!!!!!

African slaves in NC in 1860

This is the slave percentages in 1860. One of the main reasons that there was a higher percentage in slaves in some areas as opposed to others is because the land in some places than others and in the flatter areas there was more room for plantations which is where a large majority of slaves worked in North Carolina. In the western region of the state, it is very mountainous, so there weren't many if at any plantations. There weren't many other ways for a slave to work, so there just weren't many slaves in areas that did not have plantations.
