American Slavery

Picture
Now that we have tackled the Holocaust, it's time to look at a more American tragedy:  The Story of Slavery.

Copper Sun follows the plight of two young girls, one black and one white, as they struggle against a cruel, unfair institution called slavery.  We will witness the real atrocities which were committed in this very nation.

This page contains some documentaries and film clips about slavery.  Below you will find unit handouts and other materials.

Slavery Documentary

The attached video gives a great look into some of the topics coming in this unit.  This is a Documentary narrated by Morgan Freeman

Scenes From Amistad

Warning- Many of these scenes are quite graphic.  This is not suited for younger audiences.  Do not watch this if you cannot handle it.

Beginning the Novel

The American Slave trade actually began long before America itself did.  Attached is a PowerPoint which details the origins.
