Quiz Tomorrow!

Here is the checklist for the quiz:

1. The questions for the Florida website Part II.

2. The questions on the Slave System based on pages 439-443 of the textbook.  This handout should be #10 in your notes. 

3. The questions based on today's readings, Digital History, and Slavery and the Making of America.  

4. The role of fables and folk tales in slave culture

5. Examples of Overt and Covert forms of Resistance in the South.

i.e. Overt: uprising, acts of arson, or running away.  Covert: breaking the farm equipment, pretending to be sick, or staging a work slowdown. 

The quiz will be 20 questions long but you only need to answer 17 of them.  If you finish early, I suggest that you work on the Review Sheet for the Unit Test on Monday.

In class earlier this week we talked about how the South experienced a "culture of fear".  The slave owners were afraid that one day their slaves would either run away or stage an uprising and kill them.  The slaves lived with the knowledge that at any given moment their owner could have them severely punished or sold to another plantation where they may never see their family or friends again.  

Good luck tomorrow, eat a good breakfast and bring a snack for the quiz.
