This one line brings out so much emotion in me. One sentence consist of only 11 words somehow bring forward more reality about how slaves were treated back then than anything I've read in a history book. This line were just inserting in the same section talking about all properties and land the University will receive, stating that 57 human beings are just another property with no mind and will and thought and can just be carelessly give away by one person. This line has to be the most provoking line I've read in this whole document, and it highlight how bad slaves were treating and view as back then.

These words and the people follow who signed the paperwork for the University to become a university is historic. Looking through the names, the majority of them I couldn't recognize , except Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, but I'm pretty all these people are all male and well educated and wealthy, that's why they're important enough to sign the document to open a university. In the time that this University was established, only wealthy landowner male would have any importance and good social standing, therefore,, it's not surprise that they would be the one donating money to open a university that intended back then to only educated young wealth boys.

I agree with this thinking that at this age of becoming adult, human would need these exercises and training more and it will benefit them in adulthood, especially since University of Virginia were founded to educated wealthy white boys to be powerful people in the future, they would emphasize on physical learning since that was what people associate men had to be back then, strong and ready to defend the nation.

This statement set out the purpose of the University of Virginia, moreover, why is it a liberal arts college, because back then, the University was set out the produce powerful people in society, especially in the government, that's why they needed liberal arts education to deeply think and become an "enlightened" person for the good for the whole society.
