Too Tired? Too Anxious? Need More Time? We’ve got your back.
Using ONLY Marcus Rediker’s The Slave Ship as your source read and answer the following question,
What are the most important things Rediker’s The Slave Ship shows us more clearly or helps us better understand than a book focused solely on plantation slavery in the Americas would, and why?
It is not a book report type question it is a critical thinking question and using only sources from this book.
No source other than The Slave Ship may be used to complete the paper.
A successful paper (1.) clearly and directly answers the question. (2.) It
supports what it’s saying with the strongest relevant evidence from the assigned text, cited in footnotes in
proper Chicago style. (3.) It shows you have a solid understanding of the assigned text. And (4.) it
communicates in simple, clear, proofread prose.
Please provide at least two footnotes citing, in response to the
prompt, what you see as the strongest evidence from the assigned text. You want important quotes or
paraphrases that speak directly to the paper question. No irrelevant or insignificant textual evidence,
please.
Cite evidence in footnotes (not endnotes) in proper Chicago style. Do not try to format footnotes
manually.
When reading/answering think about how the slaves were divided and how they were brought together in terms of unity. Think also about where the slaves were from and why they became slaves.
