Disharmony among the African Civilization Society
The word independence means to not depend on anyone for anything, For individuals to fully depend on someone forever means that they cannot deal with being alone, that they cannot deal with doing things for themselves. Independence is what helps people become better and become unafraid of anything they must face in life. For people to be dependent on someone means they are afraid to fight for themselves and rather have someone do it for them. But to be clear here, depending on someone is not wrong, there is nothing wrong with getting support from other people, however, it should not be something that a person should do forever, it should not be something that a person needs to do for the rest of their lives because they need to learn how to depend on themselves first due to the fact that they are their own and first priority, they need to put themselves first before anyone else for their well-being; they need to put themselves first because it is important that they look out after themselves if no one else is going to look out after them for the rest of their lives. Independence is extremely important for any person who wants to have the freedom to do whatever he or she wants. Independence is something that every person deserves, no matter where they come from. To have independence is to have liberty; having independence means people having the power to make decisions without having to get an approval from someone, it means people making decisions for themselves and not asking for permission to do it. Independence is important for an individual to have because it means being able to survive in the world without the help of anyone, it means being able to not give up everytime there is a struggle in life, and most importantly, it means people being able to stay strong and not having to worry about getting attacked for their actions, not having to worry about facing dangerous consequences simply because of their race, or religion, or beliefs. Independence is what leads every single individual towards a successful future, it leads to being confident and having self-esteem; independence means to be able to understand what is happening yet still being able to persevere and not give up. Independence leads to not having to be worried about anything because of the awareness of what goes on in the world and knowing how to prepare for it. Independence was something that African-Americans valued and longed for, but it was not easy due to slavery. To escape slavery did not change anything for African-Americans; even having the status of free men or free women, did not improve their lives. They were still struggling to live in peace and harmony. Abolishing slavery was not an easy thing to do, and many people had different ideas and solutions on how to end it. The fight to end slavery required years of persevarance, it required consistency, and it showed how passionate people were about getting rid of it such as Frederick Douglass, a man who escaped slavery. African-Americans were Americans, yet they were still held captive by White men, even though they were American, they were not being treated like it was their home; instead they were viewed as unimportant or having no value. The African Civilization Society, founded by abolitionist, Henry Highland Garnet, completely had trust that emigration to Africa was the best option and only solution for Black Americans who no longer wanted to feel oppressed and face injustice because of their skin color. It believed that if African-Americans were still going to be treated poorly, then it would be better to move towards Black Nationalism and not deal with White culture in America. In other words, it believed that a country of only once race would improve the lives of those who have suffered for so many years under the powerful white men. Emigration was viewed as the only escape for those hoping to get away from slavery, and for those who were free, but still facing issues simply because they were not White. African-Americans still faced hardships and obstacles because of racial discrimination, White-Americans still believed they had absolute power over them, they believed that they were superior and better than them. African- Americans did not want to deal with that issue for the rest of their lives, so they fought endlessly to become free men and free women, but it was a fight that would not finish in a year, or months, but a fight that would go on for several years. The fight to abolish slavery meant having so many arguments on what is best for African-Americans whose only concern was being free in their own country. The African Civilization Society concentrated on encouraging African-Americans to leave America because of the fact that even being free, they were still seen as less than a human being; they were still viewed as property. Although the intention of the African Civilization Society was to help African-Americans become independent and free by emigrating to Africa, it failed to understand that they are human beings and their independent choice should be based on what makes them comfortable, and most importantly, it should be based on what makes them happy and be at peace. The organization could not know what is best for each individual because they all had different wants and needs.
