Explanation:

Robinson Crusoe is one of the most famous works of the famous English writer Daniel Defoe, published in 1719 and considered the first English novel. It is a fictional autobiography of the protagonist, an English castaway who spends 28 years on a remote desert island.

Probably the story was inspired by real events that occurred to Alexander Selkirk, from where he would construct, with a simple and authentic plot, a symbol of colonialism, of the perfect man and of the supreme morality.

Robinson Crusoe is the classic adventure novel by antonomasia. Although usually this work is known simply by the name of the protagonist, the original title, as it appears on the cover of its first edition is:  

"The life and incredible adventures of Robinson Crusoe, of York, sailor, who lived twenty-eight years completely alone in an uninhabited island in the coasts of America, near the mouth of the great Orinoco river; having been dragged to shore after a shipwreck, in which all men died but him. With an explanation of how in the end it was unusually released by pirates. Written by himself"

after the civil war, and with the termination of slavery, the south was faced with a big problem; what was supposed to happen and how they were supposed to deal with the freedom and the rights that black people and freed slaves had gained as a result of the north defeating the south and forcing the end of slavery. first, most, if not all, of the workforce of the south came from slaves and they did not have an option to replace the loss of said workforce. second, particularly in the south, people were convinced that black people were lesser, less intelligent, less capable and less smart than whites. this posed a huge problem for them. also, southerners were faced with another issue; freed slaves now had a say in how their lives would be lived and the right to politically choose the way they would be governed. people in the south did not want to accept this, none of this and this opposition and the conflicts that arose from it, not to mention the afereffects of the war, forced the congress of the time to enact and enforce the reconstruction plans that had been proposed by president andrew johnson.
