Charles Dickens Travel To America

Before long, Tocqueville, Trollope, and Dickens are long into their voyages and they all experience distinct observations and also based on the how you feel even before coming to a new place, that may involve in how the journey is for these three authors. For example, Alexis De Tocqueville in the beginning is overwhelmed by his own ignorance and has trouble in adjusting to America, as well as he can not compare it to his home, France. As for Fanny Trollope she is a female that focus more on women and their needs and their rights. She sees inequality and injustice with slavery, “The horror of domestic service, which the reality of slavery.... Domestic slaves,” ( Trollope 92, 93). Futher, Trollope sees the injustice of the women in slavery, see

One of the most interesting arguments that modern apologists makes for the practice of race-based slavery in the Americas is the fact that slavery existed in Africa during that time period and that Africans were complicit in the Trans-Atlantic slave trade. What is fascinating about Olaudah Equiano's discussion of the Middle Passage is that, as a man who had been enslaved in Africa prior to being shipped as a slave to the Americas, he was in a unique position to describe slavery in Africa with his introduction to European-influenced slavery in North America. His perception was that the immense brutality of the Middle Passage foreshadowed the dehumanization of slaves in the Americas, which was more inhumane than the treatment he had received as a slave while in Africa. Furthermore, he did not suggest that this brutality was linked to the race of the traders, though that seemed to have been his initial impression, but to the nature of the Trans-Atlantic trade. Therefore, Equiano's writings suggest that shipping Africans across the ocean for slavery was part of the dehumanizing process that helped fuel the practice of slavery in America.

In his essay to the 1782 society, J. Hector St. John de Crevecoeur portrays colonial America. While using a confident tone, Crevecoeur discusses in great splendor the uniqueness of the American society and the opportunities the country holds. He writes to purposefully draw individuals, particularly those within European countries, to the American society through his optimism. He does this effectively by using strong metaphors, selective word choice, and adjusting the syntax of the writing.

America’s individuality is constructed with a various number of circumstances. The most important circumstance is the injustice of the people. Throughout history America has had many forms of injustice like slavery, kidnapping, public shame, rights and many more. We see some of these situations in Equiano, On Being Brought from Africa to America and The Scarlet Letter. Injustice comes in many distinct forms, in Equiano it talks about the injustice of African slaves and the way they were treated. In Of Plymouth Plantation it talks the injustice that the Pilgrims had on the Indians. And last but not least in The Scarlet Letter it talks about the injustice of women's rights and also public opinion and how is the unjust to judge a person before you get to know the situation.

In the 18th century, there was a huge migration of people from Europe and Germany into the new land, America. Some fled war, discrimination, some came in as slaves, and others migrated in search of a new beginning, and new opportunities. According to the letter by Elizabeth Sprigs of Maryland to her father, there was a cost of immigration. Only a few of the immigrants like Johannes Hanner, were fully free. Others traded their freedom for a specific period of time in exchange for passage to America. In her letter, Elizabeth expresses the harsh conditions that they went through to earn the passage by working as indentured servants. Johannes, on the other hand, expresses the good life he was experiencing compared with the situation in his former

In discussions of the Atlantic Slave Trade, the term “Middle Passage” often arises. The Middle Passage was the stage of the triangular trade in which millions of Africans were shipped to the New World as part of the Atlantic Slave trade. The journey was one of the most horrific aspects of the morally deplorable system of slavery. Death was a constant threat as diseases, starvation, asphyxiation and severe depression rampantly claimed the lives of African and the ship’s crew. Throughout this essay you will understand the tragic journey of the slaves and what hardships they had to go through.

There were many events that occurred in Domestic Manners of Americans that stood out and showed a strong opinion of Trollope’s view on them. Frances Trollope set out on an adventure to explore America and the opportunities it holds, but her expectations were crushed when she arrived. The early 1800s were a time of turmoil and unrest in America, not the ideal time for a tourist

Fanny Trollope, an English novelist and writer, travelled to America in the early 19th century for a glimpse of life outside of England. In her work, “The Domestic Manners of the Americans”, Trollope captured her experience in countless opinionated, highly critical observations that judged Americans based on their behaviors and practices. Many aspects of American life captured Trollope’s attention, but these aspects were not seen in a positive light. It was obvious through her story that Trollope did not care for the American life; however, there seemed to be much more to Trollope’s opinions besides petty distastes. Trollope found the American lifestyle repulsive because it seemed to revolve around pride in their impolite and offensive behavior, creating an environment of arrogance and superiority over outsiders like herself.

According to Domestic Manners Of The Americans, “ we had repeatedly been told, by those who knew the land, that the second summer was the great trial to the health of Europeans settled in America; but I was now doomed to feel the truth breathing fever and death around I was in bed for nine weeks” (Trollope, 134). After Fanny Trollope’s four years of experience within America enjoying much of the natural beauty and abundance of the land, the friendliness and kindness of many people she met and the dramatic material advances, her overall impression was not favorable. In Contrast, Charles Dickens and Alexis De Tocqueville enjoyed and learned many new ideas and concepts during their travels within America, while Fanny Trollope traveled to the United States to experience what America had to offer and did not enjoy some of the experiences she went through. Overall, Charles Dickens, Alexis De Tocqueville, and Fanny Trollope managed and experienced life within the newly found Americas in all new and different

Migration to the Americas were recalled through the narratives and essays of voyagers and slaves themselves. Thomas Philip, a European explorer, and Job, a wrongfully captured slave, discussed their particular but somehow similar perspectives and experiences on their migration to the Americas. In addition to their stories, Allison Games provided insight on the understanding of slavery and how they attempted to preserve their culture in the Americas while forced into slavery. Through the essays of Philip, Job and Games, the reader can understand that African migration was a wearisome experience, in which the slaves endured little control of their lives, lived in diseased environments, followed gender and age structures for labor, and adapted to new cultures and languages in order to survive not only on their trip to the Americas- but for their future there.

The French Revolution mainly took place in the city of Paris during the late 1700’s. The Revolution did not only affect the people of France, but also the citizens of England as well. The French Revolution is known as one of the most brutal and inhumane periods of history. If one studied the beliefs and views of the people involved at the time, one would see a reoccurring theme of “ being recalled to life”. Born from the world of literature, Charles Dickens’ novel, A Tale of Two Cities takes a deeper look at the culture of the late 1700’s, in both England and France.
