Forcing African Americans to relocate to Haiti, Canada, Africa, LAtin America or any other country that is not apart of America, will cause difficulties, not only for African Americans but for the natives of the land of which they are forced to inhabit. Haiti and Canada are especially bad places of residents for the African Americans because of language and culture differences. Sure, it is possible to assimilate and move past all the barriers and differences that the two cultures mat have, but who wants to do that? To make life easier on Blacks and others, why not keep them in America but have them settle where noone else is, like westward or in states where the population is low and they can live there. Canada might not be as accepting as they were when escaped slaves would come. In Haiti another language is spoken and there is a whole other culture that is present there.
- 5 reasons against emigration:
- 1 America is our country as much as theirs
- 2 Our home is here now with our family and friends
- 3 There have been moves of progress towards freedom and equality
- 4 The nation is built on principles of freedom and liberty
- 5 Instead of leaving we should stay and fight for our rights
There have been moves of progress towards freedom and equality in the United States with the Abolitionist movement and Anti – Slavery movement. Not only have these movements been begun and supported by whites and blacks alike, but the nation itself is based on the principles which these movements are fighting for. They support liberty, equality, and freedom. It is hoped that a combination of realizing these principles and these two movements will combine to have a great and changing effect on the slavery institution. We oppose the idea of emigration and the ACS because in the past few years changes have been made and the future holds a brighter future than the generations of slavery before now. These propositions of emigration of the slaves and free blacks alike to the other Americas and to Africa will void and erase all of the efforts to end and abolish the slavery in the United States. It will only remove the blacks and therefore do away with all of the reasons as to why these blacks and whites of these movements are fighting for their causes and only stall the solving of the problem. If the emigration movement passes then the blacks will be removed from the country and the issues of slavery and discrimination have no chance to be solved. We cannot let free blacks and slaves leave and let white feel that they are inferior to them. We have to show them that blacks can also succeed in America and highlight the changes we have achieve in the North. We have to keep on fighting and helping slaves in the South achieve freedom and the rights that every human person deserves. Also, the family ties and the friendship roots that the slaves and free blacks have created are important and they feel that they should not have to leave those things behind. This country is as much theirs as it is the whites. The blacks have been here around the same amount of time and have done enough work for this country to call it their home as well. We have the right to stay in our homeland and we should always be a reminder to whites of the institution of slavery.
