=__**Assignment 8**__= __**Forced Migration-**__ This is when the natives were forced to move from their country to another country. An example of forced migration is when the U.S relocated the peoples of the Five Civilized Tribes east of the Mississippi River to the Indian Territory in the west. __**Forced Assimilation-**__ This is when the native's language, and culture are lost under the pressure of the U.S. An example of this is when there was an assimilation effort to transform native American culture to Europe, American culture in the years 1790-1920. __**Cultural Genocide-**__ This is the destruction/killing of a specific group of people. (Particularly the natives) An example would be when Nikola Jorgic was accused of genocide in Bosnia. __**Manifest Destiny-**__ This is when the U.S thought that America was destined to expand across the continent. An example is when in 1843, John Quincy Adams, a major supporter, had changed his mind and refused to accept Manifest Destiny because it meant the expansion of slavery in Texas.

=__**Diary From Multiple Perspectives**__=
 * = **Who** ||= **Date** ||< **Diary Entry** ||
 * = Kunte Kinte ||= May 1763 ||< 1. A new day came upon me. I started with greeting my mother and father, then I went on ahead of eating my breakfast. It was the same, Millet. I quickly finished and went over to my friends for a quick chat. My friend told me that he heard rumors of strange men, but I'm not sure if I believed him. My mother called out to me because it turned out, I had some millet left over. I returned to our hut, and finished the last spoon-fulls. My father told me to get going on the goats. I obeyed him, and went on my way. There I met the rest of my friends, and we kept the goats together, and talked for a bit. Soon it was lunch and I went back and ate food. I had a special meal today, I got millet with some chicken to go with it. After eating, my father said I could go help some of the boys gather some fruits, get done with some chores and I could go and play. After I did all my chores, I was bummed out and tired. I ate my dinner, and rested, looking up at the stars when I realized, I was one more day from getting closer to my manhood training. ||
 * = Kunte Kinte ||= Dec. 1767 ||< 3. I miss my family. I miss my village. I miss my friends. White men have dragged me all the way to the edge of our land. They brought us up in a canoe house and let us rot. They treated me like garbage. I was forced to lie down, forced to eat mush, and what's worse, was that my stomach came up. What did I do to deserve this? Did I do anything that upset Allah? When they dragged me out of the canoe house, I swore to myself that I will escape their boundaries, and swim right back to my family. When they dragged me out, I was speechless. There was no land. It disappeared. I was so puzzled to why that is, when suddenly, there was something pouring over my back. It stung. Like when a thousand bees sting you. It looked like water, but there was something different about it. More deadlier. There was music in the air. Except it was different. It was white men music. We were ordered to jump, and move around the boat. It was embarrassing. I wondered, when will this day end? ||
 * = Capt. Davies ||= Aug. 1767 ||< 4. I have mixed feelings. I'm not sure whether to be excited, or frustrated. I went below decks to check up on the last few touches on the ship. I saw chains everywhere, and the weird thing was, there was barely any space for the slaves. it was like we were storing cargo. While I was observing below deck, Mr. Slater came down and we had a smoke. Coming from his experiences, It seems as if the slaves aren't very good people. Mr. Slater called them many things I wouldn't even call my enemy. I was kind of frustrated at him, but in a way, he did have a lot of experience, so he must be telling the truth. After that chat with Mr. Slater, I was ready for what the slaves had to offer. Good, or Bad. ||
 * = Mr. Slater ||= Dec. 1767 ||< 5. I died. Yes. The amazing, handsome Slater. How you many ask? Good question. Well, I was looking forward to going back to the Americas, and everything was pretty much going as the way it should be. The captain looked like he had something against this voyage, but he ain't saying anything. I got him a belly warmer, and he seems to be doing okay. What I did realize is that the blacks did seem to be talking more than usual. Ugh! The filthy, ignorant dogs. I sensed something was wrong. They were rebelling. When we made our normal rounds today, I was so angry! One of the men let one of the nigger woman go, without any shackles. She jumped off the ship, and we lost another good fortune. That's when it happened. All of the niggers, wrestled the guy with the key, and they basically ran like mad towards us. They were everywhere! It took some time, and we almost got them controlled, when someone hit me. It pierced deep, and that's the end of me. Whoever ended my life, will pay dearly...if only I was alive again. ||
 * = **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. ||

= __ Your World Assignment 2 __ = __​__ Now that you are finished with your poster, I would like you to reflect on this project. Please answer the following questions clearly **on your wiki page**.


 * 1) **Explain** one thing that you found most interesting or surprising while doing this project? Well, while I was doing the timeline, and researching, I found a lot of things that happened in the world that was pretty surprising to me. I also found out more about where I've been, and where I should go next.
 * 2) **Explain** one thing you think you did well in this project? Well, I think I did well on my Timeline, especially when the putting events. In the world part, I think I put up some unique events that happened there, and also, I made it colorful/eye-catching.
 * 3) **Explain** one thing you think you need to improve if you were to do another project like this? I probably needed to improve my symbols on the map. I needed to make the symbols more bigger, and where you can see it. I might also color the map better.
 * 4) 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. Well, in this project, I practiced a lot of organization, and basically, tech stuff. I needed the tech-stuff, cause of computers, and I researched a lot of things that I didn't know. (So exploring can be another) Also, I had to organize what things I was done with and what needed work.
