Assignment 8
Manifest destiny was the belief in the 19th century that the United States was destined to expand across the continent. An example would be during 1843 when they tried to do this. Cultural genocide is the killing of a specific group of people. An example of cultural genocide is the killing of the Sioux tribe in 1890 by the American military. Forced migration is when you are forced to move away from your home or home-region. An example of that is when the Choctaw people in the U.S. were forced to move to the east of the Mississippi River. Forced assimilation is when some Native people are forced to change their religion to the dominant religion of the colonists and some of them have to also change their culture, language and customs. An example of this is when the cultural assimilation of the USA took place to transform Native American culture to European-American culture. This was in 1720 to 1920.

 * = **Who** ||= **Date** || **Diary Entry** ||
 * = Kunte Kinte ||= May 1763 || 1. Today has been a good day. I ate some breakfast and I went out to feed the goats. It has been a very hot day. My father is getting a bit older now so I am in charge of taking care of the goats. While I was taking care of the goats a leopard suddenly attacked my goats. I was really shocked and I didn't know what to do. The goats were all running away and one of my goats fell victim to the deadly animal. The leopard had killed my goat. I felt really sad because now my father might not trust me anymore. I ran after the leopard in the mind-set of revenge. I was really mad that a goat died because of my carelessness. I had a slingshot and I caught up to the leopard. I hit the leopard with a rock and it ran off. I still felt a bit furious that I couldn't kill it. When I brought the goats skin to my father he yelled at me a lot. I felt very upset and I knew my father was really mad at me. My father told me that I should stay away from dangerous animals. I nodded in agreement and left. This has been a really tough and disappointing day for me.
 * = Kunte Kinte ||= Aug. 1765 || 2. I am a real man now. I have just come back from manhood training. I have wrestled the biggest men and I have endured the toughest challenges. I am ready to do my own things and be a man like my father. I am getting my own hut and I am going to live by myself. When my mother tells me to do things I talk back to her and tell her that a women cannot talk to a man like this. I think I hurt her feelings a lot.I regret doing that because she is still my mother. So when I was all happy in my hut my my grandmother and started hitting me and saying that I hurt my mother's feelings and their was a lot of crying when I left. I wanted to do something nice for my mother so to make her happy I would make my brother a drum. I would go and find a really nice piece of wood and then carve that wood. I will be back to write some more. Now I am going to go look for the finest wood around here.
 * = Mr. Slater ||= Aug. 1767 || 4. This is my 18th trip going to Africa to find these dogs. Captain Davies is new to all of this so I had to inform him about the black men. I told him that they were cannibals and they were meant to be slaves. I am questioning him a bit in my mind. He seems like he doesn't really want to do this. All the men on the ship are excited about this trip except for the Captain. I was expecting a different kind of person to come along with me on this trip. Why would Captain Davies even come on such a trip if he was not sure about it. I am also a bit worried about how many blacks will be coming with us on the ship. I don't want this to be unsuccessful in any way. I also hope we get some females to warm our beds if you know what I mean. I hope this is going to be a successful journey like the others I have taken.
 * = Capt. Davies ||= Dec. 1767 || 5. We are coming back from Africa with all of the men. I didn't want to go on this trip but I did and I am very disappointing in myself. Mr. Slater offered me a bed warmer and at first the thoughts in my head were saying "Doesn't this guy ever get that I am a Christian man and I will not commit a sin". But he left before I could say anything and the women stood in front of me. I wanted to communicate her and I didn't want to "do it" with her. I started talking but then realized she couldn't talk back. A lot of emotions were running through my head. But I fell under the pressure and I couldn't resist myself. I cannot tell you how much I regret taking this job. I feel really bad for the men in the basement and now I am getting pressured into something that is a sin.

**__Your World Assignment 2__**

 * 1) **Explain one thing that you found most interesting or surprising while doing this project?-** While doing this assignment I found many interesting information in my timeline. I never knew some things about me that I know now. In the world section I found out about a lot of tragic deaths. Almost every year someone very famous died. In my map I had to label the 5 main oceans and I never knew there was an ocean named the Southern Ocean.
 * 2) **Explain one thing you think you did well in this project?-** I think my overall presentation was good. I made my poster very neat and easy to understand. It had a lot of detail but at the same time it didn't get boring. My map was very colorful and organized.
 * 3) **Explain one thing you think you need to improve if you were to do another project like this?-** I would probably make my compass rose and my legend a bit 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.-** I think I practiced organization because I had to put my labels for the map in the right spots and my timeline had to have accurate increments. I think I also used Data & Numbers because I had to search up the information for my world poster and I had to get data for myself as well.
