__Assignment 8__
__Forced Migration -__ Is when people are forced to move to another place usually to work even if they do not want to. An example of forced migration is when the Native Americans was forced by the United States Government to move to Indian Reservations in the 1830's

__Forced Assimilation -__ Is when a group of Native peoples religion or beliefs are lost under pressure of the dominant Colonists. An example of this is when the Native Americans had to transform to the European - American culture between 1790 - 1920.

__Cultural Genocide -__ Is the declaration of the rights of indigenous people. An example of this is when Christopher Columbus discovered the new world he forced them to start practicing Christianity and declared the rights of the natives.

__Manifest Destiny -__ was the belief held by Americans in the 19th century that the United States would expand across the continent. An example of this is when the Americans felt responsible to take over more land and bring new slaves from example Africa.

Everything feels good so far. I am looking forward to lock up those dirty primates. This is my 18th voyage so I am the experienced one... Capt. Davies is acting odd, he dont seem to like way I talk about the apes. Thats weird because all of my friends feel the same way about the monkeys as I do. To make the dogs do what they are supposed to do. He is feeling insecure about something that is for good. We are just doing the Africans good. I mean they dont have a social structure. They eat each other and talk like I dont know what. We are just doing it for their own best. We are bringing them to civilized Christian land. Well in the following weeks I´ll have to convince Capt. Davies that what we are doing is the right thing. All they need is our guidance... I am feeling tired after all the planning for the African dogs... Tonight I will sleep better then before... ||
 * = **Who** ||= **Date** ||< **Diary Entry** ||
 * = Kunte Kinte ||= May 1763 ||< 1. Today I helped my family getting food. I was hunting. Everyday I help my family by hunting, gathering and protecting them. Yesterday I was out talking to a friend of mine. All in the sudden I see a sheep getting attacked by a leopard. My first instinct was to try to save the sheep. I ran as fast as I could to the leopard and tried to knock it over. I took rocks and threw it as hard as I could in the direction of the leopard. When I returned back to my village I told my dad about the accident. He was disappointed and angry but worried at the same time. He shouted and he even showed me what can happen if you run toward a dangerous animal. I know that I should have stayed away from the animal but I thought it was right. I am going to bed now but I will write more in the future... ||
 * = Kunte Kinte ||= Aug. 1765 ||< 2. ||
 * = Kunte Kinte ||= Dec. 1767 ||< 3. Why are they doing this to me? I should have been more careful... I am praying to Allah everyday in hope of getting free... I hate it here it is so crowded and it stinks... All we get to eat is mixed moistures... Worst of all is that my stomach comes up when I eat the white mans food. We are chained and we are forced to dance. It feels humiliating to jump around in the canoe house. I miss all of my friends and my family. I am thinking I might be able to swim all the way to the bank river. When I went up where we had to dance, I saw nothing other then water. When I turn around I see a guy splashing water on all of us. It hurts a lot and I don´t know why they want to harm us. I am speechless, how can a man be so cruel? ||
 * = Mr. Slater ||= Aug. 1767 ||< 4.
 * = Capt. Davies ||= Dec. 1767 ||< 5. Behind my eyes are tears that I don´t want to show. All I can see are helpless people chained up. Suffering and hungry and what can I do? Nothing. Alcohol is my drug. I miss my family, my kids and my wife. My life were everything was peaceful without people suffering. I can smell peoples sin. Mr. Slater offered me a bedwarmer for tonight. When the poor little girl stepped into my room. I tried to empathize with her. I started talking to her but she did not understand a single word I said. I thought whatever and she was mine for the night. I regret going on this trip and I wish I could go straight back home. Today a girl jumped off the deck. She must have been so scared. Somehow I must finish this voyage. I have to finish without breaking it down. ||
 * = **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. ||

__My World Assignment 2__
1. One thing that I found interesting while doing this project was to see how many countries I have actually been to. At first I thought that I haven't visited to many countries. When my parents told me all the places I have visited I got a bit surprised. 2. I think I did well in finding historical events. My events were accurate and also interesting. 3. I need to go over the rubric one more time before I turn it in. That will result in a better grade. 4. I practiced using a map. By labeling all the continents and the major oceans. Also when I was labeling the countries I had visited. I also worked on my time management skills during this project. With having about a week to finish the project, I had to manage my time well. I also had to estimate about how long time each part would take.
