Use your knowledge of Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King's struggles. Do you believe that the African American and the native Africans would have achieved freedom from racism and oppression through political means or was violence necessary?
Now imagine it is 200 years ago. And that you are a slave. Your parents were slaves and your new-born child is a slave. You have tried every form of political protest you can think of and are allowed to do (which is not very much), and nothing has worked. Your family and friends have stashed 3 muskets and ammunition. Should you use then to make a bid for freedom?
It is proposed that you should use violence to try to gain freedom
