You can read about the Middle Passage and give your reaction/response to the reading. Be sure to write a solid paragraph of five sentences or more. What did you learn? What did it make you think about? What more do you want to learn about? PLEASE HELP ME!!!

The following paragraph about the Middle Passage has taught me that the slaves were severely mistreated along this rough journey, and for the time to come. It made me think about the freedom I have today and how I am not mistreated in this way. It also makes me feel upset that anyone could be treated this way just for the color of their skin. I want to learn more about why people thought it was okay to treat anyone with this behavior. What made people think this was okay? The way people of color were treated in this time was completely out of place and should not have been aloud. This is what I think about the Middle Passage.

Explanation:

Jesus taught us to love our enemies and to seek peace and pursue it. He was called the Prince Of Peace. "Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven". Peace is the opposite of war and since we are commanded to pursue peace we should most certainly do our best to prevent war. On the other hand, Exodus 15:3 tells us "The Lord is a man of war: the Lord is his name". All throughout the old testament, we see God leading the Israelites to conquer through war. David was a man of war and also the only man in the whole bible that God calls a man after his own heart. So yes, peace should be pursued but sometimes wars are necessary and they can most certainly be just.
