[ORDER SOLUTION] Slavery In Virginia
The time frame is just after the results of the Election of 1860 are announced. Tell me all about slavery from the point of view of a slave of your same sex. What have you been hearing about the tensions between the North and the South? Do you think there will be a war…a Civil War? Where do you live, are there other slaves and if so, how many…how many acres on the farm/plantation…what is your family history (be sure to incorporate a statement about how your family got to America (and remember that the year 1808 is crucial-no further legal importation of slaves was allowed so don’t tell me that you were born in Africa), what kind of master do you have, how’s your health, what is your family situation, what are your religious beliefs? How do you live from day to day-what is your work day like, what do you eat, what do you wear, etc? How does your master justify keeping you as a slave-what does he say about the northern factory workers? What do you think of the free blacks in Virginia? Did you ever think about resisting? What have you heard about slave rebellions? What might you do if war breaks out? WHILE THIS IS FICTION, YOU MUST TREAT IT AS HISTORICAL FICTION AND INCLUDE SPECIFIC AND FACTUAL INFORMATION
