INTRODUCTION
Throughout American history, various conflicting depictions of the institution of slavery have appeared in mediums like literature, film, monuments, and textbooks. In the antebellum period (before the Civil War), many of these sources were written by proslavery advocates and portrayed slavery in a more positive light by trying to argue for the benign nature of the institution. Meanwhile, formerly enslaved people and abolitionists told a very different story about the violence and dehumanization that enslaved people experienced. Ultimately, scholars rely on the narratives of slavery as told by individuals who experienced enslavement firsthand as the most accurate representation of the institution.
Secondary sources were created in a later period, in this case after emancipation and the end of the Civil War. Writings by scholars and representations of slavery in popular culture have also disagreed and evolved in their interpretations of and depictions of slavery, especially over the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. While some secondary sources present continued bias regarding the nature of the institution, well-researched and credible secondary sources can offer the necessary context. They can offer necessary interpretations of primary sources from the period before emancipation and place these sources in a larger context of society, politics, and economics. Film, literature, and other creative mediums can also offer insights into the continued impact of the memory of the historical institution in modern America.
In this task, you will analyze primary and secondary sources. The historical context and the author’s perspective offer potential insight into the intended audience of the piece, especially for primary sources. Your responses will focus on the message, a similarity, and a difference in how slavery is depicted in the provided sources.
You will choose from the attached “Secondary Sources List” to respond to the task requirements.
You will choose from the attached “Primary Sources List” to respond to the task requirements.
You will use the attached “Authors’ Biographies” page for further understanding and to analyze the primary sources.
