The Eugenics of Social Darwinism in comparison to”David Walkers Appeal”.

   The quest for equality has taken the human race through a long arduous process.
 The release of the slaves in the Caribbean in the 1830’s by the British Empire is prime example of the struggle that early humans faced due to lack of understanding and education. It took the Abolitionists 70 years to dismantle the notion of slavery within the British Empire. The idea that humans who were not taught to behave or act civilized, were slaves to an advanced society.This seemed to be the reasoning behind the slavery and destruction of people due to different race or skin complexion.

    It is amazing that a push for human rights and the abolishment of slavery would be used as propaganda to increase dominance of the British Empire across the world; this seemed to benefit aristocracy or previous slave owners in regards to owning more property and increasing wealth through expansion of government, by giving people freedom, so they can be governed.

   
In comparison “David Walkers Appeal” is reminding the supposed dominating race that equality must be demonstrated in actions not just in words. David Walker uses the Declaration of Independence to promote equality of men.   He also highlights the fact that African Americans have faced the most extreme form of oppression, and I quote, “they have been treated less than men”. In essence the basic human rights of African American men have been denied in America. His letter demonstrates the need for change in the United States.
