Using texts by Harriet Jacobs, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Frederick Douglass, and Angeline Grimke, write a speech to the Senate that responds to Senator Hammond(the passage below). Use direct quotations.
In the U.S. Senate, on 4 March, 1858, James Henry Hammond–a senator from South Carolina–delivered a speech that was proslavery. here is theexcerptt from that speech:
The senator from new york said yersterday that the whole world had abolished slavery. Aye, the name, but not the thing; all the powers of the earth cannot abolish that. God only can do it when he repeals the fiat,”the poor ye always have with you;” for the man who lives by daily labor, and scarcely lives at that, and who has to put out his labor in the market, and take the best he can get for it; in short, your whole hireline class of manual laborers and “operatives” as you call them, are essentially slaves. the difference between us is, that our slaves are hired for life and well compensated; there is no starvation, no begging, no want of employment among our people, and not to much employment either. yours are hired by the day, not cared for, and scantily compensated, which may be proved in the most painful manner, at any hour in any street in any of your large towns. why, you meet more beggers in one day, in any single street of the city of new york, than you would meet in a lifetime in the whole south. we do not think that whites should be slaves either by law or necessity. our slaves are black, of another and inferior race. the status in which we have placed them is an elevation. they are elevated from the condition in which God first created them, by being made our slaves. none of that race on the whole face of the globe can be compared with the wekness, ever to give us any trouble by their aspirations. yours are white, of your own race; you are their degradation. our slaves do not vote. we give them no political power. your do vote, and, being the majority, they are the depositories of all your political power. if they knew the tremendous secret, that the ballot-box is stronger than “an army with banners,” and could combine, where would you be? your society would be reconstructed, your government overthrown, your property divided, not as they have mistakenly attempted to initiate such proceedings by meeting in parks, with arms in their hands, but by the quiet process of the ballot-box. you have been making war upon us to our very hearthstones. how would you like for us to send lecturers and agitators north, to teach these people this, to aid in combining, and to lead them?

Please help me to point out the positives and negatives of my essay. Be honest and harsh if necessary.
The ____’s are places where I am still trying to come up with something to say.
I’m still concerned about these things:
– Grammar
– Fluidity
– Content
– How it transitions from the first to second paragraph seems funky
– How to effectively continue – the main purpose is supposed to be the challenges of being an entrepreneur at 16
and just my transitions in general…
Ever since my childhood, I have always been passionate about art, in all of its versatile and varying forms. From the days I spent teaching myself how to braid hair at the age of five so that I could practice creative hairstyles on my grandmother, to the hours I spent awestruck in front of a glowing computer screen designing birthday cards for my friends in elementary school, this certain passion of mine had grown immensely at such a young age. However, like all the other children at that time, I dreamt of becoming something extraordinary, like an astronaut, an archaeologist, or a part of the FBI. It wasn’t until the very beginning of my teenage years that I realized that the only thing that had been with me throughout my entire life was art. Amidst all of my peaks and valleys, it had always been there in the forefront of my life. So I pursued it.
By the time I was twelve, I found my true calling, my niche in the art world. Graphic design. It was the perfect combination of my love for all mediums of art and my growing appreciation for computers and the digital age.
During the summer between my junior and senior years of high school, I combined my ever prevalent passion for art, my inordinate thirst for knowledge, and my intensifying curiosity of “the real world”. I became an entrepreneur at the age of sixteen.
Sixteen was a ____ time of my life. It was a time where I _____. At sixteen, I learned how to drive. At sixteen, I became the editor of my high school’s yearbook. At sixteen, I started my own graphic and web design business, Beauxlent. At sixteen, I turned this challenge into an opportunity.
