Periods 1/2-Presentations...IMPORTANT

Hey everyone! My other two classes still needed some time to work on the project. Therefore, I am going to allow you to work on the projects on Monday too. You can work on your presentations and posters. The Reform Fair (and presentations) will be on Wednesday instead.

Regarding Monday:
As I said, I am giving you time to work on the projects. If you are finished with the projects or you are doing something other than your project, I have alternative plans for the day. This is not going to be a free day to hang out, do other work, or rome the internet.

One last thing...make sure you bring all your materials to class that you are working on.

Thanks and I will see you on Monday! Pass the word around about this update if you can!

HW for 4/14

Please read pages 303-310. Please answer these questions:

  1. What were slave codes? What function did they serve? How were they applied?
  2. How was slave life shaped by the slave's relationship with his or her owner?
  3. Explain the debate over the actual material condition of slavery.
  4. How did slavery in the cities differ from slavery on the plantation? What effect did urban slavery have on the "peculiar institution" and on the relationship between white and black?
  5. How extensive was the practice of manumission in the South?
  6. What was the status of the freed slave in the South? How did this compare with the status of freed people in the North?
  7. Explain the characteristics of the foreign and domestic slave trade. On what grounds was this trade criticized? How did the South answer this criticism?
  8. How did the slave respond to slavery? What evidence exists to show that slaves did not accept their condition without protest and, in some cases, outright defiance?
  9. What were the most widely recognized slave revolts? What did they accomplish?
