Hi 8th grade.
I hope you all had a safe trip home.
To help us keep from getting too far behind I'll be posting assignments here. If you have any problems or questions please email me and I will get back to you as soon as I can.
To start with watch the following video:

After viewing the video answer the following questions:
a. What was the effect of the weakening tobacco market on slavery?
b. With a decrease in the price for slaves, what was the vision for the future of slavery in America?
c. What were the specific problems associated with growing cotton and how did that affect production?
d. How did Eli Whitney’s cotton gin affect production of the crop?
e. What was the effect of increased production on slavery?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Next is the Antebellum task attached below. After you look at each source I want you to write observations about them. Try your best to notice details and think about what those details tell you.
After you have looked at all sources in depth then move on to the questions.
Once you have finished those you will do the essay. Remember, support your answer with information from the sources.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Good luck on this assignment. I look forward to hearing from all of you.
Stay safe and healthy!
