The government view these people like species of animate property no different from cattle and sheep’s with presidents threatening to deploy federal troops to depot them. What the article say about American society: The American society absorbed the people of color as assets deserving no rights or privileges that the white man was bound to respect. To this effect, African-Americans enslaved within America became American property that the whites manipulated to suit their convenience mostly in the South where slavery was deemed legal. What is the long struggle in the article? The long struggle stands for search of freedom or equal rights as humans regardless of color. Based on the article it is open that African-American suffered great deal while serving as slaves in the white Americans lands. Unfortunately even after the declaration of independence which dictated that all men are created equal and endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights including life, liberty and pursuit happiness, the people of color continued to experience inequalities from the whites leading to the civil rights war.
