__Assignment 8__
As we have studied, Africans were forced to migrate to North and South America while European settlers migrated to North and South America looking for new opportunities for a better life. Once European settlers set up villages, towns, cities, and governments in these colonized lands, their interactions with the indigenous population (Native Americans) changed many lives. Click on each one to help you get started. **Please write your answer on your wiki page.**
 * Directions**: Using the phrases below, you will independently explain some of these interactions between American settlers and Native Americans in North America. Write a paragraph (at least 6 sentences in total) that explains what all the phrases mean and give an example from US history that illustrates each phrase.

Forced migration- is the forceful removal of people to another country or region which has been authorized by countries. For example the relocation of the people of the Five Civilized Tribes east of the Mississippi river to the Indian Territory in the west, under the Indian Removal Act. Forced assimilation- happens when you are forced to change your customs and cultures to another one as it was a policy. For example the effort by the United States to transform Native-American to European–American culture between the years of 1790–1920.

Cultural genocide- happens when a huge group from the same tribe or culture are killed. For example the indigenous people of the Western Hemisphere have declined as they have died mostly from diseases.

Manifest destiny- was the belief by the Americans that they should expand throughout the whole continent. For example when they tried to do this in the 1840s.

 * = **Who** ||= **Date** ||< **Diary Entry** ||
 * = Kunte Kinte ||= May 1763 ||< I am quite happy with how my life goes on. I have friends and i usually have fun with them.I have my meals daily that my mom cooks.I do not have that much to do except for looking after the goats and and bringing wood for fire at home.One day, my friend told me that all the teenagers of our village will be taken to a place where we will be trained to become men. I asked my parents about this but they are not giving me proper responses. I also heard that they will tie the teenagers' hands and have them blind folded while going to that camp. I am not really sure about this. ||
 * = Kunte Kinte ||= Aug. 1765 ||< Now,I feel very different.I look at things very differently and I feel like a strong man as I returned to my village. After we returned I first met my father, then I met my mother and they seemed really proud of me. Once I returned home, my mother told me that I am a man now and I must have my own hut to live in.I felt good seeing my mother but I think that she really missed me a lot while I was gone as she cried and hugged me before I left. She also told me that my father had built a hut for me and she also gave me the location. As soon as I reached my hut I felt really good.I was very excited seeing my hut because now I had my own place to live in. I have finally become a man. ||
 * = Kunte Kinte ||= Dec. 1767 ||< 3. ||
 * = Mr. Slater ||= Aug. 1767 ||< I am on my way to Africa.I am quite happy that the preparations for this trip has been perfectly done and I am sure this Journey will be successful. I think that we are doing a good job because we are bringing those dirty black slaves to a christian land. Anyways, the slaves are all cannibals. I also think that they are totally meant to be slaves as they are strong, black and dumb. They do not even have a language, but in America, we will have to teach them our language because we need to order them for work.Sometimes, I feel that the captain is not happy with how things are going in our ship with the slaves, but he is new to this trip so I think he will get used to this feeling as time passes on ||
 * = Capt. Davies ||= Dec. 176 ||< I have finally seen the salves and I have seen the condition they are in. I really regret taking this job. I just cannot stand seeing them like this, but this is my job and I have to do what I am supposed to do. I have seen them being forced to dance last midday, they looked very miserable. They are black all right but I think they should not be treated this way, like animals. I really feel that they deserve better. Last night, Mr. Slater brought me a a black woman as a belly warmer. I really felt bad about his but I had no other options but to use her as a belly warmer. I donot not like where my fate is taking me abut lets hope for the best. ||
 * = **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. ||
