Olaudah Equiano was an African man who was taken as a slave to America at age 11, where he worked for a sea merchant and slave owner until purchasing his freedom at age 19. He went on to write "The Interesting Narrative of Olaudah Equiano, or Gustavus Vassa, The African" to persuade others of the need for democracy, personal freedom, and that all people were capable of using their own intelligence. After gaining his freedom, he lived in London in the 1750s where he attended school with white children.

Ten best lies of black history
This document summarizes 10 common lies about black history. It debunks the ideas that whites were the first humans, blacks were only cotton pickers, Lincoln freed the slaves, blacks ate each other in Africa, blacks were cursed by God, the US government has helped blacks succeed, Jews built the pyramids, blacks sold other blacks into slavery, there was no slavery in the North, and Columbus discovered America. It provides evidence from sources like genetic studies, newspaper ads, and historians to support its arguments against these 10 lies.
Social studies study guide chapter 4 for 3rd grade 3 8-17
3/9/2017
This week I have created a study guide for the 3rd graders who are having a test next week in Social Studies from the 2008 Houghton Mifflin series. The unit is called Communities in History. Pages 108-135 (27 pages) were condensed to nine PowerPoint slides. Though it was created for a English Language Learner, there is oft the chance that it could help many others as well. Would love to get your feedback!
Cape History IA Unit 1
This document presents evidence and arguments that Africans discovered the Americas prior to Christopher Columbus in 1492. It summarizes the research question, aims, and introduction claiming Columbus was not the first to reach the Americas. It then analyzes evidence including terra cotta heads found in the Americas that displayed Negroid features, pyramids built in Mexico dating to 1000 BC resembling those in Egypt, and 1,200 skeletons found in the Dominican Republic identified through DNA analysis as African. The document argues this evidence proves African presence and influence in the Americas preceded Columbus, though some historians reject this claim due to racism.
Mexicanos
This document discusses the history of Mexicans in the United States from prehistory to 1521. It describes Christopher Columbus' arrival in the Americas in 1492 and his mistreatment of native Americans. It also discusses the advanced pre-Columbian civilizations of Mesoamerica like the Aztecs and Mayans. Finally, it provides details about the Mexican revolutionary leader Emiliano Zapata who fought for land rights for peasants and was later assassinated.
The Lost Colony of Roanoke
This document provides an introduction and table of contents for an eBook about the Lost Colony of Roanoke. The introduction describes how Sir Walter Raleigh organized the colony of Roanoke at Queen Elizabeth's request to establish English lands in the New World. It then discusses Raleigh's relationship with the Queen and how he fell out of favor after marrying one of her maids. The table of contents outlines the various sections that will be covered in the eBook, including the colonists' journey, surviving on Roanoke Island, the Croatan Native Americans, myths and theories about what happened to the colony, and reflections from the student authors.
America Compared 3
The document discusses American imperialism at the end of the 19th century as the United States expanded its global influence and territories. While Americans were uncomfortable with calling themselves imperialists, their motivations and justifications for expansion shared similarities with European powers. However, American imperialism also had distinctive qualities, such as its commitment to republican institutions and goal of preparing colonies for self-governance or statehood. The document examines both the similarities and differences between American and other imperialist systems of the time period.
Fort Caroline: The First French Settlement in the New World
The 4th grade class at MJGDS created an ebook about Fort Caroline, the first French settlement in North America. The ebook contained information on Rene de Laudonniere, who led the French settlers and oversaw the construction of Fort Caroline. It described the challenging voyage for the French to the New World, the design of the fort, and the relationship between the French settlers and the native Timucua people. The students included details on the weapons and cultures of the French, Spanish, and Timucua. They reflected that creating the ebook was an educational project that allowed them to learn about and share the history of Fort Caroline using modern technology.
Dr. Jose Rizal in the United States of America
Rizal arrived in the United States on April 28, 1888. He was initially put in quarantine upon arrival in San Francisco due to his ship carrying 600 Chinese at a time when there were elections being held and the government was trying to appeal to voters by appearing tough on Chinese immigration. Despite this, 700 bolts of silk were unloaded from the ship without being fumigated. Rizal traveled around the American continent and had both positive impressions of the country's material progress, work ethic and opportunities, as well as negative impressions of the lack of true civil liberties due to racism and prejudice against non-whites.

CSI: The Lost Colony
The Lost Colony of Roanoke Island in what is now North Carolina has remained a mystery since the late 16th century. John White established the Roanoke Colony in 1587 but was forced to return to England for supplies due to war with Spain. When he returned three years later, he found the colony abandoned with the word "Croatoan" carved in a post. Various archaeological evidence and accounts from native tribes suggest some colonists may have died from disease or starvation while others potentially joined local tribes, though the ultimate fate of the Lost Colony remains undetermined.
California
Queen Calafia was a mythical black Amazonian leader from an island named California located off the coast of Mexico. Hernan Cortes would later name the newly discovered land of California after this mythical island.

Ishi was the last surviving member of the Yana people and emerged from the forests of California in 1911.

When he finally returned, he found the colony abandoned with the word "CROATOAN" carved in a post.

Sociales examen
The document discusses several key aspects of European colonization in the Americas:
1) Spanish rules required Native Americans to submit or face war, using rituals to demonstrate God's power and convert them to Catholicism.
2) Europeans arrived for various reasons - the Spanish for trade and gold, the English for religious freedom, the French to spread Christianity and claim land.

Final (Frontiers)
The document discusses several individuals who faced social frontiers in colonial America:
1) Catarina De Monte, a nun in colonial Brazil who struggled during times of famine but found purpose and comfort in her religious life.
2) Isabel Moctezuma, the daughter of the Aztec ruler Moctezuma, who bridged Spanish and indigenous cultures after her father's defeat and became a symbol of cultural blending.

The document examines how different people navigated the social boundaries between cultures during colonial settlement, either through religious
Comparitive
The document discusses different perspectives on imperialism and globalization. It explores how imperialism manifested differently in the UK versus the US, with the US initially expanding westward before turning overseas. While 19th century thinkers viewed imperialism positively, measuring physical attributes was used to classify and separate people.

The African Unthinkable
Benjamin Franklin was born in Boston in 1706 and ended his formal schooling at age 10. He went on to write for his brother's newspaper and publish Poor Richard's Almanack. As one of America's most famous Enlightenment thinkers, Franklin was also a prolific inventor who helped shape the modern world and grew increasingly involved in politics from the 1750s onward, founding the Pennsylvania Academy, which later became the University of Pennsylvania. An interesting fact is that Franklin first proposed the idea of daylight saving time in 1784.

The African Unthinkable
Thomas Jefferson was a founding father who wrote the Declaration of Independence and advocated for principles of the Enlightenment such as personal freedom, democracy, rational thinking, and religious tolerance. One interesting fact is that Jefferson's home became so crowded with visitors that he had to move to a new house to get any work done.
