Today we focused on the growth and development of slavery in the English Colonies in America.  We first debriefed your podcast listening from last night, then completed a DocBlock HAPP analysis of our first secondary source, The Middle Passage by historians Mannix and Cowley.  We spent the rest of class then in an extended analysis of a set of colonial newspaper advertisements for runaway slaves, digging for clues to the ways of life and social structures present at that time regarding enslaved people and servants.

Tonight, you need to be working on your Chapter 4 notes, which are due Thursday.
