Laurence Mandin Professor Charles Turner M.A. J.D. History 18 25 March 2011 Midterm Question #1 part 2: What impact did the English view of race have on American society? (Worth 50 points) note: I felt it was more logical for my purposes to place part 2 first. The English view of race developed directly from their perceptions of themselves‚ from the ideas of their own racial origins‚ their own ethnocentricity. This perception became a concept that had its roots in 16th and 17th Century England

So are we all.” When the subject of race comes up‚ I feel like that quote is very meaningful.
