APUSH – Understanding Attitudes Toward African Slaves and Slave Trade

Use the three sources below to answer the following questions.

*For each of the three resources first answer the following;  What is this persons point of view on slaves and the slave trade?  What evidence from the primary source backs your answer (give specific examples)?  What might explain why this person has this point of view?
*Now answer the three following questions about all three resources:
1.What are the benefits of using primary sources to understand the slave trade itself?
2.What are the benefits of using secondary sources to understand the origins and perpetuation of the slave trade (think about the ones we have already looked at)?
3.Which of the two types of sources gives you a better understanding?  Why?  Explain your answer using evidence from the two lessons on the slave trade (the chart and song by Brother Ali, as well as John Green’s crash course & the personal accounts).
