Free packet of sugar for stepping in the door. You dont seem particularly grateful. So, were thinking about how we are affected by the past. To do what i had just done, handing out a quarter cup of sugar to people who are not my close personal friends, to do that, hand out a quarter cups worth of sugar, this was the middle ages in europe.

How this came to be how it went a rare and expensive good to a thing that is so common that it is hard to avoid, this gets to the heart of the class. It goes from being a rare and expensive good to being something everyone has access to, which ties closely to the colonization of the americas. To the development of slavery in the new world. This little good we dont think much about is part of a massive reorganization of all the cultures of the atlantic ocean. That what we are talkin
I wanted to hand this out as a lesson, thinking about how were still connected to the past. There are people i dont, they are not my close personal friends, i like you all very much, but to do that, to hand out a quarter cups worth of sugar, this was the middle ages in europe.
