Forced migration is the forced movement of a group of people from one place to another, usually permanently. Examples of Forced Migration are the movement of Japanese-American citizens from their homes into “War Relocation Camps” due to America being at war with Japan and the Native American Relocation, which was a movement of Native Americans by European-Americans in order to take the area’s resources. Forced Assimilation is the forced culture change and transformation of a group of people. An example of Forced Assimilation is when the European-Americans “Civilized” the Native Americans by forcing them to change their clothing, language, and culture to match that of the European-Americans. Cultural Genocide is the mass murder and wiping out of a group of people belonging to a certain culture. An example of Cultural Genocide is the 1890 massacre of the Sioux Tribe by the American Military at "Wounded Knee". Manifest Destiny is the American belief that the USA would be "Destined" to control and expand on the entire continent. An example is the "War Of 1812".

a leopard and father made me go back home. He said that it is very dangerous to attack one of those beasts at all. I am afraid for our goat, What if the leopard comes and attacks it? What then? She is going to have a child! Father told me it shouldn't but I am not sure of this. While we were outside I had heard some shouts coming from far away. My friend Dunte Dinte told me that those were the shouts of manhood training. Every year a group of boys are supposed to be taken into the jungle to become men so that they can learn to be strong, fast and to make their own decisions. I am not sure if I really want to go, as the screams appeared as if they were of pain. I asked mother but she had said that women should not speak of such things. I wonder when I will be taken for training. || Davies ||= Dec. 1767 ||< 5. I regret the day I took this job. Mr. Slater is a madman. The crew is full of lustful sinners. This boat is hell on earth. According to Mr. Slater the Africans are unintelligent crude cannibals but they don't seem anything like this. They have their own language, how could Mr. Slater expect them to know English? And we have taken them from their homes and raped them, that is a sin! Their only fault is that they have been mislead to believe in this "Allah".I am afraid I am allowing sin and cruelty. ||

 * = Kunte Kinte ||= Dec. 1767 ||< 3. I am still chained in the white man's canoe house. Wrestler told me that there is no chance of father and the other villagers to come rescue us. I didn't believe him at first but the white men brought us up onto the top of the boat and there were no riverbanks. It is as if we have left earth. I have not had the time to observe more as the white men whipped us and made us jump up and down. Wrestler told me that we would get free and kill the white men but I am starting to believe that is impossible. The first few days here I felt that because I was a Mandinka warrior but then my stomach came out of my mouth. It had happened to wrestler as well. These white men will burn for what they have done to us, I know it. Somehow Allah will help us against these white devils. They call us "Niggers". I do not understand what they mean but they do not seem to care for our true names. During manhood training we were taught to wrestle and defeat our enemies but the white monsters have fire sticks. But wrestler appears to have hatched a plan. Maybe a miracle has come. Maybe. ||
 * = Mr. Slater ||= Aug. 1767 ||< 4. We're nearly at the Nr country. Captain seems a little shaken about how many of them will make it but he'll get used to them passing. Maybe he doesn't realize that they are better off here then in their damn cannibal land, Hell, they wouldn't last another day there. There are some intelligent nrs though, the ones that help us catch the lesser life forms. But when it comes down to it they are all animals. Captain Davies will learn to understand that when we reach land. He'll see their blasphemous rituals for their heathen, "Allah". Maybe if we smack some sense into them they won't burn in hell for eternity. And if they resist evolution we'll force them to change. We'll whip them, we'll break their thumbs, we'll crush their resistance. The nrs need to understand that they are better of with us rather than in their monkey-land. ||

 * 1) **Explain** one thing that you found most interesting or surprising while doing this project? I didn't find out anything interesting about myself, but of others, because I didn't previously realize that other people have lived in so many different places (3-4), while I have only lived in two.
