__Assignment 8__
__Forced Migration/relocation:__This is when a large group of people move from one region to another and settle there. State policy, international authority, religion and ethnicity force people to move. This is called forced migration. In 1830, peoples of the Five Civilized Tribes were relocated to the east of the Mississippi River, to the Indian Territory in the west. This was done by the US, under the Indian Removal Act.

__Forced Assimilation:__This was an adaption effort to change Native American culture into European American culture. This act took place during the years 1790 to 1920. Native Americans were forced to join schools in which their culture and their way of living would change into European American culture. The first boarding school for Indians was the Carlisle Indian Industrial School. This was founded by Richard Henry Pratt in 1879. When new students arrived at the school, they were given new haircuts, new English names and uniforms of European-American style clothes. They were not allowed to speak their own language, not even with other native students. They were forced to attend Christian churches. They had to do chores and had stiff punishments if they didn't listen to their teachers.

__Cultural Genocide:__Cultural genocide means to purposely destroy the cultural heritage of a group for political, military, religious, racial and/or ethnic reasons. When Columbus and his men landed in the new world, many people were killed because they tried to run away or they got diseases from Columbus's men.

__Manifest Destiny:__ Americans had a strong belief that they were destined to expand across the continent. Slavery expanded during the war between Mexico and the US.

__Assignment 5- Diaries from Multiple Perspectives__

 * = **Who** ||= **Date** ||< **Diary Entry** ||
 * = Kunte Kinte ||= May 1763 ||< 1.Entry One- An ordinary day in his life: Today, I was late for meeting my friends because mother made me eat all my food. I had a lots of fun chasing chickens with my friends, until the leopard came and ate our sheep! I hate that leopard, it ruined everything. Then I had to lower my head and listen to my father blabber on about not going in front of dangerous animals. I scared it off, so he should have given credit for my bravery. Then he told me not to forget to bring firewood for mother. I always remeber to do that! Why does father always think I'm so irresponsible? At least I got to keep the fur and give it to my mother to decorate our hut. I know tomorrow will be much better, because tomorrow, I will go hunting leopards with my friends. This will make us have fun, father will be proud for free meat(even though he won't know that its leopard meat) and mother will get more fur to decorate the hut. Everyone will be happy! I am looking forward! ||
 * = Kunte Kinte ||= Aug. 1765 ||< 2. ||
 * = Kunte Kinte ||= Dec. 1767 ||< 3.Entry 3-First month on the slave ship: Allah, save us from this tragedy! We are dying! Its already been a month since I've been on the boat. I am chained and I feel like throwing up every minute. There aren't any bathrooms here so we have to do everything on our wooden hard beds. People are coughing, throwing up and urinating everywhere, and its so smelly! They hit us so much, and if we were too slow to get up, they would slash us with their strong whips. We are being treated like animals. Yesterday, they showered us with sea water, and it hurt so bad because they peeled our skin off with those fierce whips. I planned to jump off the ship and swim back to the shore, but when I saw what was around me, I was devastated. There was water everywhere, where was the land? Would we live in this boat forever? I sat down and then I saw Fanta walking with her group to the other side. She looked so horrified that it made me cry. After, they started this odd music and we were forced to dance! And before you knew it, we were put back in our filthy cabins. They gave us only a mush of white stuff to eat. It was tasteless and gooey. That stuff made me feel like throwing up even more. Oh Allah please help. I am praying to you everyday, every minute and every second of my life. Will this torture ever end? Allah, I am begging you, please accept my prayers! ||
 * = Capt. Davies ||= Aug. 1767 ||< 4.Entry One- On the ship on the way to Africa:This job is just horrifying! Yesterday I went to see the slave deck and how it was arranged, it was a disaster. We were going to chain them in the neck and keep them on their sides for almost the whole ride! Mr.Slater said many things about the blacks including that they had no language(only grunts) and that they were cannibals! Who eats their own kind. Sounds like they are like animals to me. However some part of me feels like this is just not right. Mr.Slater is nice to me, but the way he talks about the blacks makes me shiver! Last night he also showed me a couple of punishment instruments like the thumb screw. Boy, it would hurt so bad if someone used it on me that I would die. I just wish I don't have to visit the slave deck anymore. I think I'm going to take some rum just in case. I don't want to remeber all the frightful grunts and the way they cook their own kind! I also don't want to hear the pain they go through when their thumbs are squeezed with a harsh metal screw. Last night, I didn't sleep well because all the things Mr.Slater said was stuck in my head. I should have drank some rum and slept, however, I wouldn't gain confidence from that. Confidence will be necessary for this frightful experience, because without confidence, I have no power. ||
 * = Mr. Slater ||= Dec. 1767 ||< 5.Entry Two- Dec. 1767, first month on the ship back to America: The journey is going quite fine, except for the fact that I need to hear the annoying groans of the blacks. The bed-warmers were quite a delight! Yesterday, I offered Captain Davies one and he accepted it! I think he is slowly becoming one of us. Today, when we took out the nasty pigs from their rotting shelter, one of the bed-warmers jumped on the sails and refused to come down. When we were about to pull her down, the rotten beast jumped off the ship and into the water. I was terrified. We lost another slave! Just moments after I started beating the slave leader, the nasty cannibals attacked on us. The useless people we hired were not strong enough and I had to join in to fight with them. Just when I killed the big muscled nigger and I was about to turn around, I felt a sharp blade go through my stomach. Pain arose for a second, then everything blurred and slowly turned white. I was dead. ||
 * = **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. ||

=__Assignment 2__= Now that you are finished with your poster, I would like you to reflect on this project. Please answer the following questions clearly **on your wiki page**.
 * 1) Something that I felt was surprising was the fact that I was living in such a big world. Before this assignment, I thought I went to a lot of places in the world. When I was finished putting my visit symbols in the countries, I was surprised because the map looked empty. I also saw the people who sat beside me and I saw that they have been to more places than me but still their map was empty.
 * 2) I think I wrote neatly in some places and I also added creativity by pasting in pictures to go with the events.
 * 3) I think I will need to work on neatness because my events were all crammed up and not all the handwriting was neat.
 * 4) **Organization:** because I needed to organize the poster better so it would look more neater. I needed to put less events and more decoration and pictures.**Time Management:** Because I ended up taking the timeline home to work on it. The next day I forgot to bring it to school so I had to stick it couple minutes before class started. I couldn't add the finishing touches to it.
