Wiki Assignment: Unit 2, assignment 8
The definition of forced migration is when you and your family are forced to move from your homeland to a new residence. One example of forced migration in US history was in the 19th century when the Native Americans were forced to move from their home to a federally funded Indian reservations. If you caused any resistance, there would be a lot of violence and numerous deaths. Forced assimilation is when you are forced to change your customs, attitudes and your culture. One example is when the Europeans came to the New World and they forced all of the Native Americans to change their religion to Christianity and to change their culture, clothes, the way they talk, to how the Europeans did. Cultural genocide is the deliberate extermination of a culture. An example of cultural genocide was when the Europeans started coming to America and they started destroying the cultures of the Native American tribes, they can't speak their own language or practice their customs. Manifest destiny, which was supposedly God's plan, was a belief in the 19th century that people believed that the expansion of their country was unavoidable. One example was in Oregon when they were fighting over the boundary lines with the British in the 1800's, and they had to create a lot of Indian reservations for the Native Americans to stay while they took over their territories.

**Diary Entries**
Today was just another normal day in the village. First I had to help mother with the firewood for cooking. When I returned I helped her with the cooking, we had some great millet and some vegetables. Mother then have to go and wash the clothes so while she was down at the river I had to look after my baby brother. He slept mostly so that was good. When she came back,I had to go and tend the sheep and goats, unfortunately a goat was killed by a cheetah. I had tried to stop it with my sling it got frightened and ran away but it was just too late. I felt very ashamed when I had to tell my father, but thankfully it wasn't one of the lady sheep's, father would've gotten very mad if it was. I then skinned the goat and cleaned it and gave it to mother to cook for dinner. While mother was cooking the meat, I went to my friends, Ngeoi and Kantiu, and we talked about our day and played some games. A few minutes later, father came outside to tell me that the food was ready so I went back inside. We ate in silence, I think that father was a bit mad at me for letting the cheetah take the goat's life, so I ate really quickly and helped mother with cleaning the dishes. That was my day today, hopefully I won't let another cheetah or lion take away a life of our sheep's or goat's. Goodnight, Kunte || These white men are very vile. They chain our feet and hands to a board that we have stayed on the whole canoe house ride. The only time that we were unchained was when they gave us a 'shower'. The moment we went out on the deck, as these white men call it, the sun was so bright it nearly blinded me, the place that we stay in is always dark with little light. When we were out on the deck they gave us 'showers' with salt water. My back was struck with a whip during our shower and it stung so bad. The wrestler is also on this huge canoe house with me, which was really surprising. How could have such a strong man like him become enslaved by these white men? I have also seen the men taking away our women late at night, I wonder what that is about, I just hope that Fanta doesn't get taken away. There are no bathrooms either, we have to do our business right there on the board lying down with people surrounding us. It smells really bad after a while and everybody gets really sick from all of the movement of the canoe house and my stomach is always upside down. The food is also very bad on this canoe house. I didn't want to eat it but the wrestler told me to. We are starting to think of a plan to kill all of the white men and hopefully we can achieve it. Everything rests in Allah's hands, Kunte || I'm on the ship to my first voyage to Africa and I am very excited. Mr. Slater, my first mate, has gone on a lot of voyages to Africa so I am trusting him, though I have my doubts about how he treats the blacks. He brought a lot of torture devices on the ship to take with us. I also had gone down to the places where the blacks sleep and it's not very comfortable, it's a very small space for about 170 people, but Mr. Slater doesn't even classify them as people, they are more like cows to him. I don't want to treat people like that but I guess I shouldn't question Mr. Slater, he knows what he is doing. I hope that all of the blacks reach the colonies safely, I want to make sure that I can spare as many lives as I can. Capt. Davies || Slater. ||

The crew men are now starting to feel lonely, so you know what that means, some bed warming. I had some myself last night. I think that the only person that hasn't had any is the Captain, I'm think ing about sending him a girl tonight. He's a bit out of place here, he doesn't understand the blacks, they're cannibals and just plain stupid, they need to know their place. I don't think that these 170 men and women will be there at the end of our trip, we'll just have to see. I know that they're planning to kill us, this happens every voyage. But obviously they can't stand a chance against our guns. With our guns they will probably hurt a lot more than we will. We are about to go and give them a shower and some exercise now,
 * = **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. ||
