Timothy Sheynberg English 102 #25062 November 24, 2017 Research Paper Proposal Prior to the American Civil War and the ratification of the U.S. constitution, slavery was an ordinary every-day characteristic of the American society. Slavery originated in America back in Virginia 1619 when the first African slaves were brought to North America to operate the production of crops like tobacco and cotton. The inhumane hardships slaves had endured led to the passing by Congress on January 31, 1865, and ratification on December 6, 1865, the 13th amendment which abolished slavery in the United States. Although slavery had finally been put an end to, there were still socioeconomic tensions present between whites and black as African American’s had remained second class citizens particularly in the Jim Crow South. Throughout the story, A Confederacy of Dunces, there is an underlying theme of racial injustice which is well portrayed throughout Toole’s text. The theme is first introduced in the scene where Burma Jones, a young black man, has been arrested for stealing although there had been no evidence linking Jones to the crime. After being released from jail, Jones must find employment to avoid imprisonment because police are eager to arrest any black man who is unemployed. As a result of socio-economic exploitation, Jones is left helpless but to take a job that paid well below minimum wage, and face the hardships African Americans had experienced as employees in the Jim Crow South. "I’m workin' in modern slavery. If I quit, I get report for being vagran'" (6.17). The topic for this research paper is modern slavery, and how it is represented in the story, A Confederacy of Dunces. To further delve the reader on the topic for this paper, there will be an emphasis of research on incarceration statistics, and socio-economic barriers African Americans had faced in the Jim Crow South.
