America offered that. E

2、urope was old; America was young. European soil had been farmed for many years; American soil was practically untouched. In Europe the land was in the hands of a few people, the upper classes; in America the land was available to all. In Europe it was difficult to get work; in America it was easy to

3、 get work. In Europe there were too many laborers looking for the few available jobs, so wages were low; in America there werent enough laborers to fill the available jobs, so wages were high.A bigger and better loaf of bread, then, attracted most of the in pouring hordes of people to America. But m

4、any came for other reasons. One was religious persecution. If you were a Catholic in a Protestant country, or a Protestant in another kind of Protestant country, or a Jew in almost any country, you were oftentimes made very uncomfortable. You might have difficulty in getting a job, or you might be l

5、aughedat, or have stones thrown at you, or you might even be murdered - just for having the wrong (that is, different) religion. You learned about America where your religion didnt make so much difference, where you could be what you pleased, where there was room for Catholic, Protestant, Jew. To Am

6、erica, then !Or perhaps you had the right religion but the wrong politics. Perhaps you thought a few people in your country had too much power, or that there should be no kings, or that the poor people paid too much taxes, or that the masses of people should have more to say about governing the coun

7、try. Then, oftentimes, your government thought you were too radical and tried to get hold of you to put you into prison, where your ideas might not upset the people. You didnt want to go to prison, so you had to leave the country to avoid being caught. Where to go under the circumstances? Some place

8、 where you could be a free man, where you werent clapped into jail for talking. Probably you turned to the place Joseph de- scribed in his letter to his brother. “Michael, this is a glorious country; you have liberty to do as you will. You can read what you wish, and write what you like, and talk as

9、 you have a mind to, and no one arrests you.“ Off to America!For several hundred years America was advertised just as Lucky Strike cigarettes and Buick cars are advertised today. The wonders of America were told in books, pamphlets, newspapers, pictures, posters - and always this advice was given,“

10、Come to America.“ But why should anyone be interested in whether or not Patrick McCarthy or Hans Knobloch moved from his European home to America? There were two groups interested at different times, but for the same reason - business profits.In the very beginning, over three hundred years ago, trad

11、ing companies were organized which got huge tracts of land in America for nothing or almost nothing. That land, however, was valueless until people lived on it, until crops were produced, or animals killed for their furs. Then the trading company would step in, buy things from the settlers and sell

12、things to company would step in, buy things from the settlers and sell things to them - at a profits. The Dutch West India Company, the London Company, and several others were trading companies that gave away land in America with the idea of eventually making money on cargoes from the colonists. The

13、y wanted profits - needed immigrants to get them - advertised - and people came.In later years, from 1870 on, other groups interested in business profits tried to get people to come to America. The Cunard line, the White Star line, the North German Lloyed, and several others earned money only when p

14、eople used their ships. They therefore sent advertisements to all parts of the world to get people to travel to America - in their ships. They sent not only advertisements, but also agents whose business it was to “hunt up emigrants.“ All the other reasons mentioned before were operating, and along

15、came a man who promised to help you, gave you complete directions, aided you in all the little details that were necessary, sometimes even got you a passport, and finally led you to the right ship - To America !For one reason or another, then, people were attracted to America and came of their own f

16、ree will. There were others who came not because they wanted to, but because they had to.In the early days when America was a colony of England, that country saw a chance to get rid of people who seemed to be “undesirable“. Accordingly, hundreds of paupers and convicts were put on ships and sent to

17、America. Some of the latter were real criminals, but many had been put in prison for small offenses such as poaching, or stealing a loaf of bread, or being in debt, However, they were not “good citizens“ as far as English was concerned, so what better idea could that country have than to get rid of

18、them? Off to America, whether they liked it or not!There were two groups of indentured servants. There were those who voluntarily sold themselves for a four-to-seven-year term just to get their passage paid. There was another group, however, “who were carried here against their willhustled on board

19、ships, borne across the sea and sold into bondage. The streets of London were full of Kidnappers - “spirits,“ as they were called; no workingman was safe; the very beggars were afraid to speak with anyone who mentioned the terrifying word America. Parents were tom from their homes, husbands from the

20、ir wives, to disappear forever as if swallowed up in death. Children were bought from worthless fathers, orphans from their guardians, dependent or undesirable relatives from families weary of supporting them.“Still another group of immigrants were brought against their will. When the early settlers

21、 found it practically impossible to make good slaves of the Indians they found here, because the red man was too proud to work under the lash, they truned to Africa, where Negroes could be obtained. For most of the eighteenth century over twenty thousand slaves were transported every year. Negro sla

22、ve trading became a very profitable business. Many great English fortunes were founded on the slave trade. The Gladstone family fortune is a famous example.As might be expected, the privations suffered by the whites in the sea crossing were nothing when compared to the misery of the Negroes. Here is

23、 a sample account of conditions on the slave ships:“She had taken in, on the coast of Africa, 336 males, and 226 females, making in all 562, and had been out seventeen days, during which she had thrown overboard 55. The slaves were all enclosed under grated hatchways, between decks. The space was so

24、 low that they sat between each others legs, and stowed so close together that there was no possibility of their lying down, or at all changing their position, by night or day. Over the hatchway stood a ferocious-looking fellow, with twisted thongs in his hand, who was the slave-driver of the ships,

25、 and whenever he heard the slightest noise below, he shook the whips over them.But the circumstance which struck us most forcibly was, how it was possible for such a number of human beings to exist, packed up and wedged together as tight as they could cram, in low cells, three feet high, the greater

26、 part of which, except that immediately under the grated hatchways was shut oat from light or air, and this when the thermometer, exposed to the open sky, was standing in the shade, on our deck at 89 degrees.It was not surprising that they should have endured much sickness and loss of life in their

Modem dance was one of the ways some of these people sought to free their creative spirit. At the beginning there was no exacting technique, no foundation from which to build. In later year

39、s, trial, error, and genius founded the techniques and the principles of the movement. Eventually, innovators even drew from what they considered the dread ballet, but first they had to discard all that was academic so that the new could be discovered.

41、ld be in harmony with the movements of the Earth. Her great contributions are in three areas.First, she began the expansion of the kinds of movements that could be used in dance. Before Duncan danced, ballet was the only type of dance performed in concert. In the ballet the feet and legs were emphas

42、ized, with virtuosity (精湛技巧) shown by complicated movements. Duncan performed dance by using all her body in the freest possible way. Her dance stemmed from her soul and spirit. She was one of the pioneers who broke tradition so others might be able to develop the art.Her second contribution lies in

43、 dance costume. She discarded ballet shoes and stiff costumes. These were replaced with bare feet, and unbound hair.
