Individual Research and Presentation on Key Events and Topics in US Slavery 1800 - 1875

Individual 8th Grade Assignments for Slavery in the 1800’s

At some point during your presentation of research on a key piece of our timeline for American slavery in the 19th Century, you should address the following questions. You may decide to present these in a different order, but each question should be answered completely and clearly. You are required to write at a minimum excellent paragraph each on 1 – 5 and another for 6 – 9. These will be used in your presentation of your research and evaluation of the event for which you’ve been assigned.

*You are strongly encouraged to use these questions below as subtopics for your research note sheet. Of course, you may not be able to answer them in this order and you may need to locate other sources to answer them fully. The computers will be reserved for you as well as two texts and many books in the room.

1) Who was involved?

2) When did it occur?

3) Where did it happen?

4) Why did it happen? If it is more complex than one cause, please, describe which various factors contributed to the event?




5) What is the significance of the event happening in the history of slavery in the 1800’s or U.S. history beyond this period?




6) Is there any connection between your event and “the individual and society” or “identity and spheres of obligation (universe of values)?


7) Is there any connection between your event and “identity, race, and belonging?


8) Is there any connection between the event and inclusion/exclusion (“us and them”)?


9) Is there any connection between your event and the larger historic case study of our bigger study of U.S. history in the 1800’s? (are there connections between your event and Manifest Destiny and U.S. Expansion, immigration, industrialization, physical geography)? Feel free to draw a chart if that makes the complexity easier than words only.
