Chapter 3 reading
What was interesting about this chapter was the four different sections that it went into. It was interesting because I learned about how each place functioned and how each contrasts to one another. The most shocking to read from this chapter though came from the Chesapeake society section. It basically went over how race was shaping into the Chesapeake society. How slavery first started to slavery becoming a lifelong status based on the color of a person's skin was out of this world to read about. Little did I learn that slavery just was not for blacks, but also Indians… but that was it, just those to races. Reading that during these times sounds totally wrong, but it makes me question why the people of those times thought it was socially acceptable.
