Cover work for Tues - Slavery in the Americas
2017-18
Date Due
Nov. 30, 2017
Additional Info
You have two tasks.
TASK 1
Please finish qs.1-5 on the sheet provided last week and attached here 'Slavery in the Americas'.
TASK 2
You should have more than enough time to complete these questions during class, so you can get started on writing a speech, which is your homework for Thursday.
- Choose a side (Part B on the sheet)
- Imagine you are living in the USA in 1850. If you live in the north, you may be anti-slavery. If you live in the south (for example West Virginia), you may be pro-slavery.
- Write an emotive speech in your exercise books either defending or criticising Slavery in the Americas.
- Backup your arguments from facts from the textbook (importance in economy, cruel treatment etc)
- There will be a debate on this during class on Thursday, so hopefully some students will choose to defend slavery! Even if you don't agree with it (and I would hope that you don't), it is necessary to play historical roles - many people supported slavery at this time.
