September 5, 2017

Today we analyzed a set of historical documents in an attempt to create an impression of the nature of slavery in the English Colonies in America. We did our first DocBlock of a secondary source (Mannix & Cowley's The Middle Passage) and discussed the podcast over Maroon Communities in the Great Dismal Swamp you listened to over the weekend as well.  

Tomorrow you need to have Chapter 4 notes ready to go and Hutchison's kids need to compose a 1 to 2 paragraph argument using evidence from the runaway slave advertisements in response to the following question:  "In what ways and to what extent did runaway slaves shape the society of Colonial America?"

Don't forget that Chapter 5 has been moved from this Friday to Monday!
