Using Primary Sources in the Social Studies Classroomlindsayoakes
This document discusses using primary sources in social studies classrooms and provides examples of a case study and student project on westward expansion in the United States. It encourages analyzing historical events from multiple perspectives by using primary sources to develop a richer understanding. Examples of primary sources on westward expansion are presented, along with questions historians ask to critically analyze primary sources by considering their context, purpose, and potential biases. The document concludes by discussing multigenre writing projects that have students creatively synthesize and present what they have learned from multiple historical sources.
This document describes semantic faceted search, which allows users to navigate between interconnected sets of documents through faceted filters over RDF data and OWL ontologies. It provides an example of filtering documents to find US presidents whose children graduated from Harvard or Stanford. Semantic faceted search generates faceted search interfaces automatically over structured data through translation to SPARQL queries.

The document summarizes the slave trade that occurred between Europe and Africa beginning in the mid-15th century. Europeans expanded their empires in the new world but lacked a workforce, so they began transporting Africans captured from West Africa to work as slaves. It is estimated that 15 million people were transported as slaves, with many dying during the journey packed tightly into ships. Questions remain about why black Africans were specifically targeted for slavery and how exactly they were originally captured.
This unit plan aims to teach 18 4th grade students about the history of slavery in America over 5 lessons. The lessons will use books, videos, songs, and activities to help students understand and develop emotions about slave life by comparing it to their own lives today. Key aspects include reading about historic slave figures like Harriet Tubman and Nat Turner, learning about the Underground Railroad and plantation life. The goal is that by the end of the unit, all students can name a historic slave figure and describe an important aspect of slave history. A variety of technology resources will support the lessons, including books, videos, and websites.

The Sexual Abuse of Black Men
under American Slavery
THOMAS A. FOSTER
DePaul University
In 1787 an enslaved man in Maryland raped a free black woman.
The story comes to us from the female victim in the incident, Elizabeth
Amwood. One white man, William Holland, had her "Pull up her Close
and Lie Down he then Called a Negrow Man Slave" "and ordered him to
pull Down his Britches and gitt upon the said Amwood and to bee grate
with her." A fourth individual in this horrific scene, a white man named
John Pettigrew, operating with Holland, pointed a pistol at the unnamed
enslaved man and Elizabeth Amwood. All the while, Holland taunted them
both, asking if it "was in" and "if it was sweet." Afterward, William "went
up into the Company and Called for Water to wash his hand, saying he had
bin putting a Mare to a horse."1
Scholars have suggested that rape can serve as a metaphor for enslave-
ment - thus applying to both men and women who were enslaved. As
Aliyah I. Abdur- Rahman argues, "The vulnerability of all enslaved black
persons to nearly every conceivable violation produced a collective 'raped'
subjectivity."2 The standard scholarly interpretation of how slavery affected
black manhood is perhaps best captured by the comments of one former
slave, Lewis Clarke, who declared that a slave "can't be a man" because he

Presented as part of Resources for Integrating Latin American Studies in the Classroom
Thursday, June 25, 2015
7:00 p.m. (US Eastern Standard Time)
This webinar series co-sponsored by the Centers for Latin American Studies at Florida International University, University of Florida & Vanderbilt University.
The document discusses several key decisions and events related to United States westward expansion between 1803-1854, including the Louisiana Purchase, Lewis and Clark Expedition, Northwest Ordinance, War of 1812, Missouri Compromise, Texas annexation, Oregon Treaty, Mexican-American War, California Gold Rush, Compromise of 1850, Kansas-Nebraska Act, and Gadsden Purchase. Each of these events and decisions had consequences that impacted the economic, political and social development of the United States.
The document discusses the distinction between free people of color and former slaves after the end of slavery. Free people of color often provided leadership to newly freed slaves due to their advantages in education and experience. In both Haiti and the post-Civil War United States South, leaders of the free black community like Toussaint Louverture and elected officials were often former free men of color. Many educated northern free blacks also moved South after the Civil War to help the freed slaves.

The African Burial Ground and the History of Slavery in New York CityBob Mayer
At one point, New York City was second only to Charleston in the number of slaves. When Wall Street was actually a defensive wall, half-freed blacks formed a community north of it, outside the wall. They were denied, by law, from burying in the city so had their own burial ground. What happened to it?
Digitized Historical Government Documentsjmburroughs
This document provides a list of sources for accessing digitized historical government documents from federal agencies, libraries, cooperatives, and proprietary databases. It outlines various federal agencies that have digitized publications like the USGS, Census Bureau, Forest Service, NASA, and others. It also lists academic library digital collections containing government documents from universities like North Texas, Wisconsin, Oklahoma State, Cornell, and others. Finally, it mentions some proprietary databases that provide access to congressional and government materials.
- The document discusses the history of white slavery in early America, which was far more prevalent than black slavery but has been largely ignored in mainstream narratives and education.
- It notes that hundreds of thousands of white Europeans were enslaved and faced extremely difficult conditions, though their slavery is often mischaracterized as indentured servitude with implications it was less severe than black slavery.
- The document seeks to counter the "liberal lies" taught in schools about black slavery being a unique victimhood, and argues the authentic history of white slavery needs to be recognized to correct the narrative of universal white guilt.
