.... of 376 East Indian Immigrants who sail to Canada to start a new life, but are not excepted due to the racist immigration officials. The immigrants had a right to be in Canada because they were British subjects, but Canada decided to shut their doors. This shows how cruel the people were at that time. Slowly the East Indian communities within Vancouver were beginning to get racist threats.

.... ourselves that there are times when we are not thinking but in doing so we see that we do exist. For it is impossible to persuade nothing of something, so our existence is solely dependent on the fact that we are things, thinking things that can be persuaded. Even though the fact that we are thinking things doesn’t necessarily prove that we are human beings, it does prove that we are beings. At this point Descartes would say that we don’t know what we are just that we are. A thinking thing really has a very vague description and cannot really be applied to us as beings which we perceive. .....

While the former slaves lived on the ideal that they were now free, the fifteenth amendment was under heavy fire. Those who felt threatened by the massive amount of African-Americans who would now be participating in the government criticized th .....

.... of the North. The Compromise also went with the South when it included stricter fugitive slave laws and New Mexico and Utah were created without slave restrictions. A book called, "Uncle Tom's Cabin" was also published at this time emphasising the evils of slavery. This added tension between the North and the South.
