Today we read about The Fugitive Slave Act of 1793 and why Congress needed to have it passed. There were two questions that went with the reading that were assigned for classwork, if those were not finished they are part of tonight's homework.
The questions were:
1. If you had to choose only one theme (technology, vision, equality, power) to connect this event to, which would you choose? Why? Make sure you have at least 3 examples/reasons that will support your answer.
2. This event (The Fugitive Slave Act) brings up many questions for the year. For example, "What will the federal government do when states disagree?" or "What rights, if any, will African Americans get? How? You are to come up with 4 original questions that a person would have on the 19th Century after reading about the Fugitive Slave Act.
The other assignment is to go to this link to complete the chart that you received in class. Be sure to follow the directions on the sheet carefully so you are not writing down information that you do not need.
