Documents from the past

This reading mad me mad because it shows the realistic belief that Europeans had on other people that if they are not white they are inferior. I read "The Indian Rebellion" this was a sad thing that the British were doing to the Indians. The sadists part is that we as a Western culture are still doing this in millions of sweat shops they have people working for hours with no breaks, low wages, child labor, and no proper ventilation. This is when the US turns the other cheek and refuses to attack those issues. One of the things that the British did to the Indians was impose great taxes to the people who live there. It is like you have lived there for years and all of the sudden someone from another place comes and says you have to pay tax. The British also monopolized the merchant trade in India which was bad because they started to depend on foreign goods. I always wonder what will happen if China pulls out all the merchandize that we in the US buy that will be a day to remember. In this reading it also says that the British have servants, but was there no servants in India before this. The other thing that he mentions is the low wages that government officials had at the time. The British came an really enslaved the Indians, but we are no better or maybe worse.
