Assignment 8: Forced migration means to forcefully move a person or group of people away from their home or home region. Under the 1830 Indian Removal Act, the US government relocated the people of the Five Civilized Tribes to the Indian Territory in the west from the east of Mississippi river. Forced Assimilation is when people are forced to change their culture and religion and would be put against serious charges if they practiced their own culture. George Washington and Henry Knox were the first to propose the idea of forced assimilation of the natives. Cultural genocide means when a large number of people from the same culture are killed. An example of this was when Columbus went to America and killed a lot of people. Manifest Destiny was a belief that the expansion of the US was inevitable and justified and believed that they were destined to. It was used by the democrats in the 1840's.

TWISTER TWEETS: MY REVOLUTION (Cuban Revolution): Another Revolution: Your World Assignment 2


 * Explain** one thing that you found most interesting or surprising while doing this project?

The thing I found most interesting was that how many countries I have been too. I found that interesting because it seems like I have been to a lot of countries but when I listed them they weren't a lot.


 * Explain** one thing you think you did well in this project?

I think I did well in the organization of my project. I did well because I planned everything out and made a layout of my project before starting it.


 * Explain** one thing you think you need to improve if you were to do another project like this?

I think I need to ask my peers more of what they think about my project because I did my timeline on the second day of the project and when I asked my peers they told me that some information was upside down which was hard to read. Based on my peers opinion I redid the timeline again.

Name at least **two life skills** you think you practiced during this project. How did you practice these life skills during this project? Be specific.

I practiced being patient because I messed up the timeline the first time I made it so I had to make it again but usually I would stress a lot but this time I didn't and I just did my timeline slowly with patience.

I also gained more knowledge because while I was researching for world events I saw a lot of them. I also got surprised by a few of them and this has helped me gain a lot knowledge which I wouldn't have known if I didn't do this project.


 * = **Who** ||= **Date** || **Diary Entry** ||
 * = Kunte Kinte ||= May 1763 || 1. As soon as I woke up I ate part of my breakfast and went outside to play with my friends. It hadn't even been 2 minutes and my mama called me back inside to finish my breakfast. Then I went to the she-goat and fed her and started talking to my friend. It had only been 2 minutes that I wasn't looking at the she-goat and she goat attacked by a leopard. I face the leopard eye to eye, then I hit him with my slingshot and he ran away. I went to my father with the skin of the she-goat that was left. He asked me what happened I told him that a leopard attacked the she-goat and that I chased him away with a slingshot. He told me never go against a dangerous animal. Then I went to my friends and talked to them about what happened and my friends started telling me about manhood training. The most dangerous part they said about our manhood training was that they were gonna cut off our foto's. I spent the rest of the day worrying that they were gonna cut off my foto. ||

 * = Kunte Kinte ||= Dec. 1767 || 3. It feels like a year but it's only like the 2nd or 3rd day on this ship I just can't tolerate the torture. It stinks in here and my stomach jumps up and some kind of liquid used to come out of my mouth but all that comes out now is bitter spit. We have to eat this tasteless food and the wrestler keeps telling to eat it even though my stomach comes up after eating it because he said I am a warrior and a warrior must eat to live and be strong. Also people started dying in this place the guy who was lying right next to me died and then the white men took him out. They also took the women somewhere else, I saw them going when the white men were making us dance. Soon we will make the white men dance and return to our village. First I thought that we won't be able to but with the help of the other captured people from other societies we will all we need now is a plan. ||
 * = Mr. Slater ||= Aug. 1767 || 4. Today is the 7th day of our journey to Africa and I had been looking forward to taking 170 black slaves. Those monkeys will get a better life when they come to a christian land and do slavery for us. Captain Davies came down to the hold and started looking curiously at the handcuffs and neck chains. He looked like he hadn't really seen anything like the hand or neck chains before but I told him the hand and neck chains were the best for controlling those mad monkeys. I also told him that those monkeys stink so much that we have to keep them all in one place, in the hold. Captain Davies then went up and out of the hold and started giving the crew instructions. I got disgusted thinking about all the mess the black slaves would make in the ship puking and doing other stuff. While I was looking forward to getting the crews bed warmed by the black slave women/girls. Then I spent the rest of my day as usual talking to the Captain and drinking. ||
 * = Capt. Davies ||= Dec. 1767 || 5. It's the 9th day of the first month back and these men don't know what big sins they are doing. Capturing slaves and torturing them like this is all new to me and I just do feel that this is the right thing to do. Even though Mr. Slater keeps saying that it's good for the black slaves that they are going to a christian land but they aren't going on their will we are forcing them to. Mr. Slater seems to like to torture the black slaves and capture them like this. This is Mr. Slaters 18 voyage and he's still so racist and seems to discriminate so much. Mr. Slater just shouldn't be doing stuff like this I mean this is just the limit and no matter how much I drink so that I don't pay that much attention to the black slaves it's just so cruel. What the worse thing is that Mr. Slater has kept them all locked up in the hold where the puke, poop and pee. I regret taken this command not only because I am apart of my wife and my children but because of this cruelty on the black slaves. ||
 * = **Sample****(Kadi Touray)** ||= Aug. 1765 || My family and I are still on our way to Kerewan but I'm not sure how much farther we still have to go. Luckily, we accidentally met a local villager named Kunte Kinte who told me that it's one day to Kerewan. The interesting thing is how we met this young man. He knocked Fanta over and spilled our water and knocked over our millet as he was chasing a bird for his manhood training. He obviously needs to learn to run faster because I easily caught up to him and dragged him back to apologize to Fanta for knocking her over. After he clumsily put our stuff back, he bid us farewell and took off again after his bird. I did notice that Fanta gave our visitor a strange look. Perhaps she has been struck by the love arrow. If we do meet Kunte Kinte again, I will make sure he is the right man for my beloved daughter. ||
