1. I chose the topic of SLAVE REBELLIONS IN THE UNITED STATES.
2. The slaves in the United States rebelled against their oppressors due to the harsh conditions of slavery and the desire for freedom. These rebellions led to the eventual abolition of slavery in the United States, changing the course of American history and leading to the Civil War.
3. I could see myself fighting for racial equality and social justice, as these are still major issues in society today. I believe that everyone should be treated equally regardless of their race, and I would be willing to fight for this cause.
4. There are still issues today that people are willing to risk their lives for, such as fighting against police brutality, advocating for LGBTQ+ rights, and working towards environmental sustainability. These issues are important to individuals who are willing to make sacrifices for positive change.
5. Rebellions can help a cause by bringing attention to injustices and mobilizing individuals to take action. They can also hurt a cause if they turn violent and lead to negative consequences. Overall, I believe that peaceful protests and strategic actions are more effective in creating lasting change.
