Assignment: Final draft due Friday, Nov. 9
An assignment sheet was distributed with details for a persuasive essay supporting or opposing the abolition of slavery. The assignment sheet is available on the "Documents" page as "slavery essay assignment.pdf."
We discussed the pro-slavery arguments of George Fitzhugh (previous handout, "The Blessings of Slavery," 1857) and examined two contradictory quotations about the slaves by two white Southerners from 1822 and 1832.
