**Assignment #8**
 * New Government and Expansion: Assignment #2**

Forced Migration/relocation: Forced Migration is the movement of a large group of people from one region to another. This usually occurs when large empires force slaves to settle in a new land, or when colonists conquer a land and push aside the people that already settled in that land. In the nineteenth century, the United States relocated a group of Native Americans to Indian Reservation. The Native Americans were removed from the Northern Tier to the Western States.

Forced Assimilation of Native Americans: Forced Assimilation is when a colony tries to turn native settlers into their own ‘kind’ but teaching them their language, teaching them their religion and so on. The forced assimilation of Native Americans was an attempt to turn Native Americans into European-American culture between the years of 1790-1920.

Cultural Genocide: Cultural Genocide is the mass destruction of people, usually in groups. The first ruler of the independent Haiti ordered the killing of the remaining white population of French creoles.

Manifest destiny: Manifest Destiny is the 19th-century belief that the expansion of the US throughout the American continents was both justified and inevitable. The Native Americans had a lot of trouble with Manifest destiny as The European Colonies were expanding rapidly. Native tribes got kicked out of their land so that European settlers could use the land to their full advantage.

__Assignment 5 - Diaries from Multiple Perspectives __
 * = **Who** ||= **Date** ||< **Diary Entry** ||
 * = Kunte Kinte ||= May 1763 ||< 1. Today I woke up to a bright and sunny day. I got dressed up and ate some of my breakfast. I was in a rush as I had to take care of the goats. My friends and I like to do this job together sometimes because it is boring alone and we always have to be on the watch. We can not let any wild animals, such as a leopard, feast on our livestock. It is our duty to take care of our goats, we don't want to loose any food that could help us survive. Today I took care of the goats for a few hours until my mother came to fetch me. She asked me to finish my breakfast because I needed strength and she does not want me wasting any food. I cannot wait until I have a life of my own. I do not want to depend on my parents anymore. I want to become a man and I want to be treated as a man, but i still have a few years left. The rest of the day, I spent my time playing at the river with my friends, helping my father and mother at home with the chores and playing with my baby brother. ||
 * = Kunte Kinte ||= Aug. 1765 ||< 2. ||
 * = Kunte Kinte ||= Dec. 1767 ||< 3. I am on the slave ship. These days are probably the worst days of my life. I can't eat this foreign food as my stomach is coming up, I cannot move, we are treated like pigs. I think it makes me feel a bit better that I am not alone. The wrestler is here with me and he has been taking care of me. I have also seen Fanta on this ship. I hope she is not going through the pain I am going through. I can't stand the smell, the heat and the darkness. I want to break free, I will do whatever it takes to get of this canoe-house. I will swim the vast ocean, if that is what it takes. I know there is a very low chance that will happen. I have also been thinking about killing myself but I know Allah won't allow it. Allah is here to protect me.Once I get off this canoe-boat and work on this foreign land, I hope Allah will help save me and give me and the others some mercy. ||
 * = Capt. Davies ||= Aug. 1767 ||< 4. I am now on my way to Africa to pick up the slaves. I am a little see sick but I think I can manage. It will not take long until we arrive in Africa. I am a little torn by the Slavery situation. On one hand, the slaves should not be treated as animals, they need to be strong instead of weak. If I were a slave, I would find it cruel to be stuck on the same piece of wood for months. I feel sorry for them. On the other hand, we need slaves. We need the help for infrastructure, farming and more. I am the captain of the ship, my job is to keep the ship and its crew in order. Therefore, I have given Mr. Slater the job to take care of the slaves as I do not want to observe the pain all the blacks might be going through on this ship. This will be my first and last time as a captain of a slave ship, but for now, I must rest. ||
 * = Mr. Slater ||= Dec. 1767 ||< 5. I have been on this ship for a month now. Those Niger's can't keep their mouth shout and I always gotta look out for them. Those black monkeys are such a mess. I gotta bring them out on the deck every god damn day. If I was captain of this ship, I would have twice the number of black's on this ship, but no, he have to give them their 'space'. Its been good on deck though. The weather has been nice and we had been sailing with little trouble. The only trouble is that the death toll of the black's are rising day by day. I have been missing my wife ever since I left land, but I think the Black women are enough for my entertainment. We, the crew, having our needs and we have been fornicating with Black's. ||
 * = **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 __ **1) Explain one thing that you found most interesting or surprising while doing this project?** Something really surprised me when I did this project. I realized how lucky I am, because I have seen so much of the world just at the age of thirteen. When I think of all those people who have not seen anything else but where they come from, it really makes me think twice about how blessed I am. I have seen so much of the world, I lived in different countries, even the fact that I go to an international school makes me special because I have met people from all over the world, and I have learnt about many different cultures and religions. I think that if I spent my whole life living in the same place, with the same people, i would have never learnt as much.

**2) Explain one thing you think you did well in this project?** I think I did really well in organizing my work. I think I neatly displayed my map because I carefully colored in all the Continents and Oceans, I also added clear names of the Oceans and Continents as well as neatly displaying the compass rose. I also colored in all events in the same color according to which year it occurred.

**3) Explain one thing you think you need to improve if you were to do another project like this?** If I did this project again, I would want to add more pictures to my timeline, just so it looks more exciting and fun. I think I would paste pictures onto the empty spaces of the poster.

**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.**

I learnt many life skills in this project. Some life skills include, time management, organization, following instructions, etc. I used time management in this project because the project had a due date on which it had to be handed in. We also had 30min of every class to work on the project. If you did not finish your project in the given class time, you would have to take your project home and work on it. Its a great example of time management because you had to manage your time wisely so that you can hand in your project on time. Following Instructions is also a big life skill. We had to follow instructions on what we had to put on our poster, If we missed out a few we would probably get a lower grade than someone who followed all of the instructions that were given to us.
