Song Title: Give Peace A Chance by John Lennon
What was the message of the song?
The song was an effort to promote world peace not just peace for the Vietnam war. It got a lot of attention from the media and news things which gave them the push they needed to get the song out and have people listen to it.
For the past week, we have been learning about the slave triangle and what happened to the people in South Africa that have been taken and chained to the ships. We started by talking about how the African people were treated by the Americans when they were forcefully taken from their homes and sold to be slaves. They were traded for goods and chained to each other and the floorboards of the boats. They were very close and malnourished causing some of them to die. They weren't taken out so if they died the people next to them would have to lay there with a dead body next to them praying they didn't die down there next. Here is my map of the Slave Triangle that has more information about the topic.
