FIRST DISCUSSION
Using at least three documents (a mix of primary and secondary sources) from the Library of Congress and National Archives, write a summary of the Amistad Affair. This is your opportunity to be a little creative. Assume a role and perspective of the time and write as though you were trying to convince people of the need to outlaw slavery – what would you tell them about the conditions of the slaves? How would you answer any objections to your cause? Remember to put yourself in the early 19th century.
Make sure you use evidence from the sources and source types noted in your prompt to support your points. You may use sources other than those found in Recommended Resources, but you should write at least 300 words in your response.
SOURCES CAN ONLY BE USED FROM ONE OF THESE TWO LINKS (can use both sites or just one but the three documents can only come from these sources)
