Mr. Jones own the cotton plantation and many slaves. One day he was talking to the owner of the plantation next to his and mr. Jones was lamenting the fact that times were tough he was having to work his slaves harder than ever and was having trouble with some of the being disobedient or trying to run away The other plantation owner said he knew someone who could help Day One One day mr. Jones called his slaves together, so a man named mr. Smith could talk to them before beginning mr. smith whispered to mr. Jones whatever I say do not contradict me or interfere I promise you your slave troubles will end My name is mr. Smith he said to the slaves and this may be the happiest day of your lives from today forward you will no longer be slaves but freemen mr. Jones was so shocked he started to step forward but mr. Smith gestured for him to remain silent he did, Only because the other plantation owner had spoken so highly of mr. Smith's skills. You are no longer a property of mr. Jones mr. Smith continued. You are free no more would you be forced to labor for the benefit of mr. Jones Now you can work for yourselves. Now the slaves were all murmuring and looking at each other Many were smiling. Many were looking puzzled. In fact you are now free to leave the plantation whenever you want mr. Smith said. However, since we are surrounded by other plantations if you leave, some other plantation owner will likely claim you as his own the moment you set foot on his property leave some other plantation owner will likely play new is his own the moment you set foot on his property so I urge you not to risk your new found freedom by doing something so foolish Instead, I suggest you stay here no longer as slaves but is willing participants and part owners of this plantation yes this is now your plantation mr. Jones bit his tongue keep from objecting. For now we might as well leave mr. Jones in charge said mr. Smith Since he is the only one with any experience in running a plantation which is quite a complicated thing to manage but he will no longer be your master but just another worker on the plantation in fact he will now be using his organizational and management skills to serve you whatever problems you may have had with him before you are now all equals and you need each other to make this work if we all cooperated and work together we can all reap the benefits together in honor of this happy occasion I present you this new symbol togetherness and cooperation this flag which will be the AM

all share the benefits we all know that it takes a lot of effort to make cotton plantation work just because you're all free doesn't mean you can't stop working infractions you now working for yourselves I expect you to work even just because you're all free doesn't mean you can't stop working infractions you now working for yourselves I expect you to work even harder than ever before but now with pride and joy in knowing that you're working for yourselves of course I still have to be rules if everyone just does whatever it wants the presentation will produce anything this experiment will fail it will all stop you should be thankful mister Jones agreed to stay on the lead his knowledge and skills to this endeavor and I trust you all do your own part to make this work several have you been chosen actors project supervisors to manage different aspect to the operation to make sure everyone is doing is assigned job to make sure the rules are followed so long rescue you may head out to the fields to start your first day workers free med day three the next morning mister schmidt et a grim expression on his face is the daily meeting began day three the next morning mister schmidt et a grim expression on his face is the daily meeting began I have an unpleasant duty to do today he said yesterday Charles was cocky pinter McCartney picked presumably to sell for his own personal profit that is against the rules that is still in for that Charles must be punished two men tied Charles to the whipping post I take no joy in this Smith continued but you must understand if we do not maintain order if we do not have rules that we all abide by then the plantation will fail and we will all suffer with cracked against Charles back but if we all pitch in for the common good and we can all prosper be in free doesn't mean you should be selfish and greedy we missed each do our San duties and obey the rules and then we can all benefit any jury will receive your appropriate share the profits a young man named channel step forward but if you and mister Jones aside the rules in with us if we disobey how's that any different from what we had before how can you say that mister smith et I'm shocked your slave before now you free they still need to be managed in organized by those best qualified to do so do you know how to run a plantation jamil well-known he answered but it will free why do we get no say in what the rules are and how things work I'm surprised you're ingratitude mister Smith answered not original plantation is run so you're in no position in making decisions about how things are done here you don't seem to appreciate all the things mister Jones Ryan sure you from protecting you from all the outside trash you know nothing about those who would come here capture and slave you're not for mister Jones protection to making sure that you all have food and housing tools to work with the or cared for when sick injured and so on there wouldn't be a plantation at all no cotton a pic know when to plant and harvest if not for him you should be grateful that he's made possible the level of comfort you now here your lives really far worse if not for him nevertheless as creating robert is rich in this endeavor from now on it each maiden any worker may have to manage to ask questions or suggestions or complaints with that the workers all seem satisfied and headed out again to the fields to pick the cotton day for I have a big announcement mister smith said is the daily meeting began mister Jones cousin is here not just to visit and see our project is coming along it has been decided that from now on you will be deciding who will manage the plantation of course this job can be done by just anyone but every three months we will have a special meeting there which all the workers will vote on whether we think mister Jones should run the plantation or whether we think his cousin mister Johnson to run the plantation the plantation or whether we think his cousin mister Johnson to run the plantation that means that ultimately you line charge because you will be deciding which man one run and things on your behalf if you don't like the way things are being managed you now have the power to change it amazed and pleased the workers headed out again to the fields pick the cotton day past months past a year past and the plantation continue to operate as before sometimes mister Jones was in charge sometimes mister Johnson was in charge but the day-to-day routine state exactly the same the workers were card long hours every day and still had little to show for it every day the meeting would begin with the mall reciting the Jones plantation model we work together as freemen for mutual benefit pledging allegiance to the Jones plantation which stands for Prosperity Liberty and justice for all one day mister schmidt announced same rules as to say a few words this mornin and whatever the rest was racing to his ideas and opinions we are all free here and that means we're all allowed to speak our minds so 70 you have to manage begin Samuel step forward looking scared I was excited when all this started he began glancing nervously at mister schmidt and mister Jones but don't you will see what's happened here nothing's changed we're all still slaves grumbles a disagreement from the crowd they tell us what to do and with those who don't they still make all the rules and punishes we disobey sailors make suggestions and complain about things but they never really change anything they let us choose between mister Jones and mister Johnson but what's the difference the situation stays the same we do all the work and they take as much as they want and decide how much they'll let us keep they live in luxury made rich by the cotton we pick we do all the work and have to build our own hearts grow our own food intake air ourselves daily was just another we don't rule to run away this is not freedom we're all still slaves label change the words they use but nothing else has changed they say we're all free and equal but we're not they command and we obey that's not freedom that's not a quality they say were free to leave but all that means is that we're free to be someone else's slave why should we work /url by the rules we didn't agree to this they made the system they forced it on us the control in rob us and call it freedom them to see you into thinking that being able to choose which slave master your workforce the same as being free it's not open your honor's if you keep what you produce the college Stephen when they take what you produce they call it share it and fair distribution can't you see that this is all your time user Shin mister Smith announced calmly had his gesture to supervisors Graeme Samuel by the arms and let into the whipping post I'm Saraceno but you broken the rules their rules against encouraging others not to work in encouraging others to break the rules you're only hurting all those with your discontentment and you're complaining in your disobedience the whip fell in central let out a grunt without rules without order all would be lost without law there would be chaos we can just behave as wild animals each doing whatever he pleases we must all follow the plan all do our duty for the betterment of everyone and those who do not must be punished the with fell again in blood flowed freely from said back jamil it is you who are stealing from the others when you don't do your sign work you are making more work for others when you disobey the rules it is you who are endangering the future everyone else here you are the thief you other criminal you are the one trying to destroy the arrangement that keeps us all safe and prosperous at every lash of the whip the other workers cheered louder and louder some yelling curses Samuel being spoiled and selfish you complain about everything talking as if you're oppressed but you are the one ruling today you are the one key pressure being all we could be it is you're greeted your rebelliousness that is hurting all of us they all play by the rules mister said gesturing at the others what makes you think that you don't have to you think you're above the law they're allowed yells agreement is the whip fell again we must maintain or mister smith proclaimed to make this plantation great to make it so that we can all be happy and prosperous to have the society we want there has to be rules we all have to contribute our fair share this great endeavor and we cannot tolerate actions and attitudes that seek to undermine the amazing things that together as freemen we have achieved and will continue to achieve mister Jones was mine she gave mister smith pat on the back the crowd was
