I believe that Sinclair's character could also be considered submissive because he did not do much to change slavery. Yes, he wanted things to change and he did not have the means to actually do something substantial about it so he did as best he could. Sinclair was actually half way decent to the slaves he owned and did not treat them like savage animals. He did not believe that slavery was right and did what he could.
I think Sinclair's character can relate to a lot of people and situations today. When some people witness bullying for instance, they do not do anything about it or just turn the other cheek and pretend that it did not happen. Those people may not believe in bullying but they did nothing to help the person being bullied or try to stop the situation. This happens with a lot of things today and I think that it would be great if people could stand up for what is right and actually take action against a wrong.
