What was life like for American slaves?
What I think about people being enslaved in Louisiana is that it was horrible for Slaves that worked in Louisiana because they had to work and they were not paid. It was a good way for the captors to make money. The planters of Louisiana are greatly exercised concerning the continual escapes of their slaves and have held an important meeting at New Orleans about the labor question. After much angry talk and a good deal of abuse of the Government, of which they are "registered enemies," they seem to have agreed at last to pay their slaves wages. That's a sentence where they talked about how slaves were being paid wages Most masters were not good people they enslaved. Even though Slaves got paid they did not get to live a good life as other people got too. I know slavery was bad because It's not right for people to be enslaved and slaves were crucially beaten and they were not treated right.

How did African American help the war effort in the north?
African Americans helped the war effort in the South in the way that when the war began, over 3.5 million enslaved people lived in the Confederacy. Making up more than 30 percent of the region's population and the bulk of its workforce, enslaved workers labored on plantations and in vital iron, slat, and lead mines. Some worked as nurses in military hospitals and cooks in the army. By the end of the war, about one-sixth of the enslaved population had fled to areas controlled by Union armies. The possibility of a slave rebellion terrified white Southerners. For this reason most Southerners refused to use African Americans as soldiers - for then they would be given weapons. Near the end of the war, however, the Confederate military became desperate. Robert E. Lee and some others supported using African Americans as soldiers and believed that those who fought should be freed. He Confederate Congress passed a law in 1865 to enlist enslaved people, although the law did not include automatic freedom. The war ended before any regiments could be organized.

What is the role of happiness in success?
Everybody in this world wants to be successful because they believe success equals happiness. But unfortunately, success does not equal happiness. While success creates a thrill and many people like the chase of the race, most people get caught in the maze, and then they face misery and sorrow, there is no happiness. Happiness is a paradox. We are never content and satisfied. Even though we have everything, we are unhappy. Therefore, we must realize that success is not happiness, happiness is success, which means that if you have achieved happiness then you have already achieved success, what we were trying to achieve to be happy. Then why do we need to chase success? All rich people are not happy, but all happy people are rich. Think about it!
