Forced Migration - The natives were forced to move to a different country. An example would be the native people called the Choctaw in Southeast America were forced to move in the 1830's. The United States also forced the Five Civilized Tribes to migrate from the east of the Mississippi River to the west, the Indian Territory.

Forced Assimilation - When a group of people is forced to learn the culture of a different one than theirs. The natives were forced to take in and understand the ways of the Americans. George Washington and Henry Knox were the first ones to propose the idea of forced assimilation.

Cultural Genocide - It means killing a lot of people from the same culture, or destroying the whole culture itself. Christopher Columbus and his men killed many Native Africans for gold.

Manifest Destiny - A belief by the American immigrants from the 19th century, that the United States would spread across the land.

__**Your World Assignment 2**__

 * 1) **Explain** one thing that you found most interesting or surprising while doing this project? What I found interesting working on this project is the things that happened when I was young. I asked my parents what happened during this year, and they told me to write in the timeline.
 * 2) **Explain** one thing you think you did well in this project? I think I did well on the timeline, because I used a lot of time working on it, and I thought it was worth my time. My map was well colored, and my compass rose was well drawn.
 * 3) **Explain** one thing you think you need to improve if you were to do another project like this? One thing I need to improve if I were to do another project like this is to read the instructions/directions carefully and check if I did that on my project. Because I was supposed to have 3 distances of countries, but I only had one.
 * 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. Two life skills that I think I practiced were use of numbers, use of technology. Use of numbers because for the timeline, and distances I had to write numbers to represent the distance, and year. Use of technology because on the world events for the timeline I had to research what happened on what year.

 * = Kunte Kinte ||= May 1763 || 1. It was a sunny day outside, and mother had finished cooking breakfast. Today for breakfast we had millet, as usual. Me, my little brother, and my father are waiting on the table for our food to be served. After I was done eating, I rushed out of the hut to play with my friends. But my mother called me, and told me to finish all of the food on my plate. I finished the rest of the millet, and I called out my friends to play. We were hanging out around the big tree, when my dad told me to look after the mother goat who was going to have her baby tomorrow. He told me to make sure no animals attack the pregnant goat, and I did as I was told. I sat under a tree near the goat, I also brought a friend with me so I wouldn't get bored and I wouldn't fall asleep. I was talking to my friend facing the opposite direction from the goat. but in the middle of our conversation, I heard a shriek behind me. I quickly turned around, and saw a leopard, it has bitten the mother goat and was trying to get to her baby. I told my father about it and he said we all make mistakes, so he's not mad at me. It was a tiring day for me after doing all of the chores like bringing firewood, etc. I went to sleep as soon as I lied down on the bed. ||
 * = Kunte Kinte ||= Dec. 1767 || 3. My first month on the canoe house didn't go well. The stench of people's waste and their stomach contents gave the room a bad stench. But that was the least of my concern. The room was dark, people were groaning, and crying. To clean us up, they threw salt water at our wounds. They made the girls dance to the men, even Fanta had to dance! I hope my family is okay. If they touch my family, I will cut their arms off! ||
 * = Capt. Davies ||= Aug. 1767 || 4. We are on our way to Africa. This is the first time I've been on a voyage to another continent that included slaves. I'm nervous, and I don't think I can hide my feelings in front of Mr. Slater. I don't like the idea of slavery. I especially don't like the idea about slaves being trapped under me. But I am the captain, and I have to do what I signed up for. I have no other choice and I cannot back out now. I am a bit scared about meeting the Africans though. Mr. Slater mentioned many things about them, that may or may not be true. Things like them being cannibals, and Africans not having a proper language. Nevertheless, I will pray to God that everything goes fine and we transport the slaves back safely to America. Amen. ||
 * = Mr. Slater ||= Dec. 1767 || 5. We are on our way back to America. There are about 140 slaves in the ship. We I am dead. Yes me, the first mate of the Lord Ligonier. The happening of my death was very unexpected. I was walking around the deck ||
