====Forced migration means when a group of people is forced to move somewhere else and work. E.g.- The Choctaw people were forced to move from southeast to west. Forced assimilation is when a dominant group of people forces the other group of people to change in their ways. E.g.- the native were forced to change because of the Europeans in the 1790s. Cultural genocide is mass murder of people in a tribe. Along with their people the culture too is wiped out. An example of genocide is when Columbus went to the new world and lots of people were killed. Manifest destiny is when US thought they should spread throughout the continent. It is said that it was gods plan and its their destiny to control the land. They tried to do this in the 1843.====

** Roots ** ** Diary Entries **
 * = **Who** ||= **Date** || **Diary Entry** ||
 * = Kunte Kinte ||= May 1763 || 1. Today i woke up a bit early than usual. I know today was going to be a long and hard day. I did my work, ate breakfast and and played with friends. After that my mom told me to go feed the goats. As i was feeding my goats,me and my buddy were talking about the men training and how we get our fotos cut. I was scared if they would actually cut my foto or just snip it a bit.Few moments later a leopard ate my goat and i fought the tiger and it ran away. It was a she-goat and i couldn't protect this pregnant goat. I told this to my dad and he told me what a man should have done. Later at night, i ate my dinner and went to sleep. I learned my lesson well and i swore to myself to never do that mistake again and take care of the goat properly. ||
 * = Kunte Kinte ||= Aug. 1765 || 3.Today i woke up ready to go to fetch wood for my brother. After a few while, i see the white men with black traitors. I saw them coming towards me so i ran. I ran and ran and ran and they followed me. I was held in some strong steel and i couldn't move, i felt angry at them and i tried for hours and hours. They took me in a cage. In the cage i saw fanta (the girl i bumped with while catching the bird). I asked her how her dad was and i realized her father was dead. Then i thought how my mom and dad would have felt. I also thought my dad would come and follow me. The black traitors led us to a big canoe house. We had to lie down. There was no place to go to the bathroom, we had to do it there. I was feeling bad and sick and my stomach came up. I saw the wrestler and he told me not to worry. Later the white men took us upstairs to dance. While dancing, us africans swore at them in our language and hoped they wouldn't understand. It was night and then the wrestler told me he had and plan and he said he had counted how many men there were and we would kill them. ||
 * = Capt. Davies ||= Aug. 1767 || 4.Good morning diary. I know today is going to be a rather not well day. I feel sorry for the slaves that are coming in this ship, but my first mate Mr slater told me not to worry. Of course i wouldn't worry, because i'm not a african. So i go down to check where the slaves would stay till the end of our journey. I went down to check how many slaves would fit and it did look big but not big enough to fit 170 people. I felt bad for the africans. I thought to myself,//Are they not humans.// Moments later, Mr Slater comes down. We smoke and talk about the voyage and about taking the slave to the new world. Later he showed me the the thumb screw. That moment i knew it was gonna be a painful ride for the africans. I felt bad. I didn't want to be apart of this but i also wanted to be a captain. ||
 * = Mr Slater ||= Dec. 1767 || 5.Good morning diary. I first have to feed the niggers and make them dance. I went to ask Capt. Davies and asked him if he needed another belly warmer. He said no like always, whats wrong with that fellow, he is too religious. I went up to dance the niggers. They looked like they had a plan. Later minutes after, they attacked my men and slowly attacked me. I took out my shotgun and was going to shoot the big nigger but another nigger knifed me. ||
 * = **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. ||
