Colonial America







Main Idea: Equiano and the other slaves realize that they would rather die now on the ship than live a life where every single day of their life would be miserable hard labor. Equiano was never born in Africa but in North Carolina, This changed my way of thinking because it sounded so lifelike but the story claims that this boy was "thrown on a slave ship" but the records for this person says that he had never reached or been in Africa. Thoughts After Class 9/23/10: WTF? This man is rich and free because he sold and bought other slaves as his job, this is the most ironic irony moment because I thought he did this by himself not by such a cruel job.

Do Now 10/18/10 Summarize the accolonists or to tions that were done last week. We, as a class, read 7 different documents that opposed or supported either the colonists or the British. After reading most or all the 7 documents and collaberating a side to choose from, we, as a class used the knowledge and our opinions about whether to oppose the colonists or oppose the British in a well-thought-out paragraph and were assigned another paragraph using the the other side of the story and creating a counter-opinion to whatever side we normally chose from, I thought the documents represented the colonist's side the most, therefore making another paragraph trying to oppose the colonists.
