  1. Friday, Aug. 29 Objective: Agenda: Turn in your Syllabus to the “Turn-in Bin” Write down your HW Warm Up Historical Timeline/Amendments Closure • We will investigate how “changes” before and during the Civil War affectedAfrican American History by examining primary documents (newspapers, letters, journal entries).

  2. Warm Up Orange Desk- Clean Up Green Desk- Gather Handouts/ Check Master Pink Desk- Gather Materials Yellow Desk- Recorder • What are three examples of Primary documents?. • True/False- The slave traders that captured slaves in Africa were in fact Africans themselves? • Which two regions of America (North and South America) had the most slaves imported? • Why did the South accumulate more slaves than the North in the original 13 Colonies and all the way until the Civil War?

  3. -West Indies & Brazil combined to import ____% of African slaves. -Which 2 American locations had the least amount of slaves? Why?

  4. 1. How would you compare the physical landscape of New England and the Middle Colonies to that of the Lower South & Chesapeake? 2. How would you compare the population of A/As north and south of MD. 3. How does that relate to Question #1?

  5. “The slave traders, they knew that these were human beings, because they were obviously, clearly human beings. At the same time, they were objects of profit. And those two concepts couldn't coexist. The sense of humanity was simply suppressed for the sake of gold. And the shocking thing is that human beings are able to suppress their views on humanity for the sake of making profits.” B. Unsworth To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement? Have you ever done something for money when you knew it was wrong, or that it hurt someone?

  6. Leading into the Civil War • As time progressed, more support for the abolishment of slavery grew. • Abolisionists like Frederick Douglas and John Brown accumulated support to end slavery in the US. • The final push came from Pres. Abraham Lincoln who declared Kansas a non-slave state. • This made the South angry.

  7. The Fighting Begins…and Ends • With the South wanting to keep slavery, and the North (including the Federal Gov) wanting abolish slavery, the South openly starts to break federal laws. • The North starts to send troops to keep order in the South which ignites war between the two regions. The first “shots” are fired at Fort Sumter in SC. • After 4 years of fighting, the war ends with the North victorious.

  8. Reconstruction Vocab • Freedmen: Former slaves • Carpetbaggers: Northerners who went South to “help” with reconstruction. • Scalawags: Southerners who supported the North after the war. • Radical Republicans: Northerners that supported AA citizenship and civil rights. • Ku Klux Klan: White supremacist that opposed Reconstruction and rights for freedmen

  9. DBQs Once you’re done, you will meet with the other similar colored desks in the class to become an expert on your document. • Go through, read and answer all the documents and their questions.
