Born into slavery in Clinton, North Carolina, Merrick relied on his social savvy, entrepreneurial spirit, and inner drive to achieve great personal wealth by founding various companies in the Raleigh, North Carolina and Durham, North Carolina areas, most notably the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company. Portions of his wealth were channeled back into the black community through philanthropy. ==Background== The southern United States was blanketed in tumult in the years following the Civil War best known as the Reconstruction era. The late 1800s were dominated by southern states rebuilding themselves after being decimated in the war. Racial tensions were boiling over between newly freed slaves and southern whites that adamantly disagreed with their emancipation. Although African American slaves had indeed been emancipated, their lives as free men and women did not significantly improve. Freed blacks were automatically placed at the bottom of the social hierarchy and were denied virtually all rights that were afforded to whites. John Merrick, a freed slave-turned-businessman, grew up against this backdrop of upheaval. Despite the racial barriers that prevented many blacks of his time from achieving success, Merrick was able to achieve wealth and prominence in his community. However, Merrick did not bask in his own personal wealth; he channeled his success back into the black community of Durham through philanthropy and job opportunities in order to plant the seed for a flourishing black society. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「John Merrick (insurance)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
