Abstract
Description
During the course of a semester, the historic land of the John Dickinson Plantation was studied. In the late 18th century, the morality of owning slaves was rarely questioned. Enslaved individuals were viewed as property simply because of the pigment of their skin, and were horribly oppressed. I was assigned to create an Area of Reflection to honor the Enslaved Peoples that once lived and worked on the land.
