__ Assignment 2 (New Government and Expansion) __ __ Assignment 8 __

__ Forced Migration __ is when people are forced to go to a new place when they don't want to and are made to live there. An example of this is when Native Americans were forced by the United States Government to move to Indian Reservations around 1830. __ Forced Assimilation __ is when some Native people are forced to change their religion to the dominant religion of the colonists and change their culture, language and customs. From 1720-1920, the cultural assimilation of the USA took place to transform Native American culture to European-American culture. __ Cultural Genocide __ is the deliberate destruction of cultural heritage of people or a nation for political, military, or religious reasons. An example of this was in Mexico, from 1849-1901, the Caste War of Yucatan killed 200,000 people on both sides. __ Manifest Destiny __ was the belief or doctrine widely held by Americans that the United States would expand and conquer the whole continent occupied by the indigenous people. People claimed it was “God’s will.”

__Settlement and Colonization: Assignment 5- Diaries from Multiple Perspectives__

 * = **Who** ||= **Date** || **Diary Entry** ||
 * = Kunte Kinte ||= May 1763 || My ordinary life is quite enjoyable. I play outside with my friends, come home for meals, and live like any other boy in my village. It is very fun to talk with my friends, and herd sheep and goat around the forests. One day, I went to the forest, and was talking with my friend, when I actually should have been watching my animals. One of my animals got killed by a leopard, and I scared it off with my slingshot. I skinned the animal and took it back to my father, feeling very scared, since I thought he would be mad at me. When we talked, he wasn't mad about the fact the I had lost a goat, but because I had tried to fight a dangerous animal. He explained to me to never face dangerous animals, since they can hurt you more than you can hurt them. I felt very proud to have such a knowledgeable father. ||
 * = Kunte Kinte ||= Aug. 1765 || I have just finished man-hood training and I found it extremely challenging, but it's something I had to do. My first task was to wrestle against an extra large man, and as expected, I wasn't so good. After I got through with that, I was sent to catch a bird, and instead I met a family on their way to Kerewan. While running, I knocked over their food, and their daughter that was cooking it and thought it right to go back and apologise. The daughter was quite pretty, and maybe, if her dad didn't mind, I wouldn't mind marrying her. While on my way back, I saw slaves being transported by black and white men to ships, and was extremely quiet since I was scared. I didn't want to go on a ship, and I definitely didn't want to be a slave, especially not to white men. When I got back, I just had to cut off part of my fotos, which was the last task before I would get my own hut, and become a man. I was so excited. I had then gone to meet my mother, and she offended my manhood by questioning me, and I told her to back off. I had finally become a man. ||
 * = Kunte Kinte ||= Dec. 1767 ||  ||
 * = Mr. Slater ||= Aug. 1767 || I am on my way to Africa. Preparations on the ship have been completed, and I am satisfied with what I have done. I already had a talk with the captain, and showed him my plans for the holding of the dog like slaves. I honestly think it is better for them to come with us, and I feel happy when I take them on board, and deliver them to the America's. They get converted to Christianity, and have a much better lifestyle than they would over here. After all, they are cannibals. Also, I think they are perfect for slaves, since they are strong, and stupid. I feel strongly about taking them, and think they have no real worth in this world. They are black, and don't even have a language. With us, they would lead a much better life, and would learn how to speak english. Still, I'm slightly scared they might riot on the ship, but I think it's all for the best. ||
 * = Capt. Davies ||= Dec. 1767 || I am on my way to the America's. I honestly don't have any good thoughts about the actions of Mr. Slater. He has physically abused the slaves and has tortured them just so they would behave. I don't like my job, but have to do it. My experiences with the belly-warmers were quite satisfying. I don't believe any of the facts that Mr. Slater say about how moving to AMerica is good for the slaves. However, it is true, that christianity is better than whatever their religion is, and moving them might help if they actually are cannibals. Honestly, I would like to get off this ship, and go back to where I came from. I regret coming here, and I despise my self for all I have done. I allowed slaves to be treated like animals, and I slept with another woman. I deserve to die. ||

__Your World: Assignment 2 Reflection__
The one thing that I found most interesting about the project was when I researched about the 2004 tsunami in the Indian Ocean. I was really surprised when it stated the fact that 200,000 people were either missing or dead, and millions had lost there homes, in over 10 countries. The tsunami had generated the same amount of energy as 23,000 Hiroshima-type atomic bombs.
 * Explain** **one thing that you found most interesting or surprising while doing this project?**

I think I did my timeline exceptionally well and very neatly and it turned out fairly nice. It's titles were very well done and I think it was very neatly presented and each and every thing was clearly visible.
 * Explain ** **one thing you think you did well in this project?**

I would improve the way I labeled my map, since some of the words could be more legible, and some of my symbols could be more precisely drawn to make it all look a whole lot neater.
 * Explain ** **one thing you think you need to improve if you were to do another project like this?**

The two life skills that I practiced in this project were communication, and time management. I practiced written communication by writing down all my life events and world events clearly so that people can read them, and understand what I have to say, or communicate with them. I also practiced time-management, since I had to decide how much work I have to do at home, and how much I will do in class, so that I can finish the project, one class before the due date. I wanted to finish a bit early, so I had time to do other homework, and so I didn't do I rushed up job.
 * 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. **
