Instruction
For your second paper, you will write a 3 to 5-page paper using two different types of primary sources to describe slavery in North America. The paper will be based upon your understanding of images as well as runaway slave advertisements. In your recitation class, you will gain experience in analyzing the images of slaves provided in the Slavery Images database by listening to student presentations. You will also spend time reading about and discussing the advertisements held in the database of N. C. Runaway Slave Advertisements. Supplementary primary and secondary source readings outside of class will assist you in making sense of these diverse primary source collections. For this paper, you will come up with your own research question which you will answer using these evidence collections. The paper will cite at least two separate images and two advertisements to support your thesis. You are also encouraged to draw upon other sources read in class (the sources written by Frederick Douglass and Harriet Jacobs as well as the article written by Amani Marshall) in addition to the suggested readings available on the course library website. Note that these sources are in addition to, not in place of, the other four primary sources. You should not use any outside sources for this paper. Your primary focus should remain on the two images and the two advertisements. All quotations and paraphrased sections must be correctly cited using Chicago-style footnotes. A separate Works Cited page is not required. The formatting of this paper must adhere to the guidelines posted on the blackboard site.
This will be due at 11:59 PM tonight.
