For this Module, read the excerpt below from Thomas Jefferson’s Notes on the State of Virginia in which he speculates about differences between Europeans, Africans and Native Americans.
Here’s the gist: The Founders justified the American Revolution by using a “natural rights” philosophy–the idea that all “men” had rights that their creator gave them. This ideas says that a person has rights just by being born (kinda like human rights); they don’t need a country to give them rights since they are already endowed by their creator with those rights. However, after the American Revolution, instead of applying Enlightenment philosophy to Africans/African Americans, the new republic (especially the South) used race (one part of caste) to justify denying them access to freedom.
For your Response Paper, use your textbook and Notes on the State of Virginia to discuss one or more pillars of caste within the context of slavery in the early United States.
Your paper should be in the neighborhood of at least 300 words.
