Historical Context Revision Notes

Historical Context Revision Notes
Grades: √ + (18pts), √ (14pts) or √- (10pts)

The bullets below will help you to revise your historical context when it comes time to write the paper. Everybody struggled with these issues and is working through them, so check in with your classmates and improve together.

Issues to Think About When Revising Your Historical Context:

• Please write chronologically; tell me the story IN THE ORDER THAT IT HAPPENED
• This should be essentially a summary of Foner Chapter 11
• No quotes needed
• Entrenched: (v; past tense) To have established an attitude, habit, or belief so firmly that change is very difficult or unlikely.
• Many of you developed the economic entrenchment but did not deliver anything on the political, legal or social entrenchment
• LEAVE THE MORAL ARGUMENT OUT- its irrelevant to the this part of the paper. Abolition and slave culture do not have a place in the historical context. 
• Capitalization, grammar, choppy sentences.

History Sources Quotes for Slavery Paper

Argument:  Slavery was a necessary evil to the expansion of American democracy and the economy

Takaki Chapter 3 Quotes

Quote 1: "The value of our lands and slaves, taken conjunctly, doubles in about twenty years,’ he cooly calculated. ‘This arises from the multiplication of our slaves, from the extension of our culture, and increased demands for lands’” (Takaki,  2008).

Explanation: Here Takaki uses Jefferson to illustrate the fact that slavery would increase and was necessary because of the “extension of our culture and the increased demands for land.” Since land and freedom were intertwined in the definition of American democracy, slavery was necessary to move toward greater democracy. In terms of our economy, Jefferson demonstrates that slavery was necessary in order to continue to expand the economy and continue the agricultural legacy that Jefferson held so dear.
