sentence help

<p>I cannot seem to word this sentence properly.
To justify why slaves were separated from family, treated like animals, given no pay and freedom: superpowers claimed it was their “duty as superiors to teach and help inferiors”.</p>

<p>Inorder to justify why slaves were separated from family, treated like animals, and given no pay or freedom, superpowers claimed it was their duty as superiors to teach and help inferiors.</p>

<p>To justify why slaves were separated from family, treated like animals, given no pay and freedom: superpowers claimed it was their “duty as superiors to teach and help inferiors”.</p>

<p>Here are a couple of general tips. First, you need a comma, not a colon. Use a colon when you are making a list. Second, place your period inside, not outside, quotation marks. Third, the sentence does not sound logical to me. I do not think that the three listed instances woud be directly used to support superiority and domination claims. Example: Superpowers claimed it was their “duty as superiors to teach and help inferiors” by: providing food and shelter, but no pay that might be squandered; supplanting traditional customs with their own culture; and by forcing the subjected peoples to adopt the faith of the conquerors.</p>

<p>i thought you can sue colon for explaining too…?</p>

<p>if you have time can you read my essays? i need help.
