Order 1085087: Slavery

Our second writing assignment is due on Friday, June 22nd.

The Atlantic slave trade ended in 1808, but slavery thrived in the early American republic. How did the institution of slavery develop, expand, and change from the 18th century to the 19th century? You should consider economic, political, regional, and social factors. Write a 500 - 750 word essay comparing and contrasting slavery in the two centuries. Be sure to pay attention to change over time.

The paper should be a short but formal essay, written in a Word document (or equivalent) 12-point font with appropriate margins. 

In grading the papers, I will be looking for three things: First, a strong argument. Second, good use of evidence backing up your thesis. And third, grammar and organization. 

*You will have to use my textbook to write this paper. I will provide you with the website and username and password.
