Read this excerpt from "the selling of joseph" that offers a justification for slavery and answer the question. obj.1 these blackamores are of the posterity of cham, and therefore are under the curse of slavery. gen.9.25,26,7. which statement does not refute the claim made by this reasoning?

few know the conditions of this curse of cham or canaan.

canaan actually received the curse instead of cham.

blackamores are descendents of cush who settled in ethiopia.

blackamores spread to many countries throughout africa.

I would argue that the right answer is the B) Canaan actually received the curse instead of Cham.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that a statement that DOES NOT refute the claim made by this reasoning agrees with it. The claim made by this reasoning contends that the descendants (the posterity) of Cham (or Ham) are under the curse of slavery, since Noah cursed the descendants of Canaan, son of Ham, for the sin of drunkeness. Since dark skin was considered part of the curse, it was argued that black Africans were under this curse, and therefore should be enslaved—since the curse entailed enslavement as punishment. The statement that says that Canaan received the curse instead of Ham does not refute the claim, since the claim refers to the posterity of Ham, and Canaan represented that posterity.

A good counterclaim to this claim would be option C, since others, such as the author of "The Selling of Joseph" (Samuel Sewell), contended that black Africans descended indeed from Cush, another son of Ham, whose descendants, who also had dark skin but had not been cursed, populated Africa.    

"everyday

use" was written by alice walker. this is a story about two sisters, dee

and maggie wanting to have the handmade quilt. maggie wants to use the thing

for its purpose, while dee appreciates it for being “her heritage”.   the quilt represents family heritage. it was

believed that only dedication and years of hard work can represent a  quilt. 

mama decided to give

the quilts to her less fortunate daughter, maggie because she believed that dee

could not hold the true meaning of their family heritage and   that she would not use the quilts for their

purpose. however, dee believed that maggie can’t appreciate the quilts just as

how she sees them, and she thought that the quilt will be put to “everyday use”

by maggie and within 5 years or so, the quilt will turn into a rag. in the story, dee strongly believed that maggie do not deserve the quilts.
