Slavery fueled and stimulated their economy as a means of inexpensive labor, particularly in the cotton and tobacco industries. It was effective for financial growth in a mercantile environment. The slaves, being the single unhappy part of this equation, hoped for change in the form of freedom. With the slow switch in gears from the traditional economical approach to the recent concept of capitalism led by the Enlightenment, slaves could cling to the hope that their owner's would release them as useless. That, combined with the blind and naïve hope of a successful rebellion led slaves to become more sanguine about freedom than would typically be seen.

dear friend:

i hope this letter finds you in soaring spirits and vibrant health. as you had expressed the wish to know about culture, traditions, and unity of india in your previous letter, in the following lines i have tried my best to give you glimpses of our culture, traditions, and unity. you will be amazed to know that our culture is the oldest culture in the world and the birth place of hinduism, buddhism, jainism, and sikhism. you won’t find any other culture as varied and multi-colored, multi-lingual as ours. each region has its own unique culture, traditions, language. there are 22 official languages in india.

basically, india is a spiritual country with orthodox traditions. for example the people of india believe in traditions set by their wise forefathers. arranged marriages, joint-family system, universal brotherhood, vegetarianism, celebrating festivals such as diwali, holi, eid, etc., are the salient features of our culture and traditions.

another unique aspect about our country is ‘unity in diversity’. in spite of the multi-lingual, multi-religious, multi-traditional, multi-cultural society, people live peacefully together, respecting one another’s views, cultures, traditions, and differences. i am sure you would love to visit india soon, and have a first-hand experience of the multi-colored culture. give regards to uncle and aunt. do visit india with your family and experience our hospitality.

your friend,
