Hello class!
I look forward to hearing your thoughts, questions and discussion on American slavery tomorrow (Friday, April 3). It is an incredibly ugly time in American history that deserves our attention, reflection, discussion and understanding. Please remember to look over the documents and questions I gave you on Tuesday and be ready to discuss your findings. Lets do our best to understand this very "peculiar institution."
This is the video we watched in class.
I also asked you to think about these questions:
1. Why do you think American slavery last so long?
2. How do you think white colonists/Americans justified the institution of slavery?
3. How do you think slaves survived or maintained an identity under slavery?
I am looking over your essays today and this weekend. I hope to have some good feedback for you next week so we can start on another essay before midterm exams.
See you tomorrow!
