__Assignment 8__
Forced migration is when a large group of people move from one place to another because of the law or people from somewhere else force them to. The Indian Removal Act was a law made by president Andrew Jackson. It allowed him to negotiate with the natives in the Southern states to be removed and placed to the West of the Mississippi river in federal territory, one of the tribes that were removed were the Choctaw. Forced assimilation is when another group’s native language and culture are lost because they are pressured to absorb the dominant cultural group. A way that the Americans did this is that they gave natives land in exchange for them becoming US citizens. Cultural genocide is a structured killing of a ethnic group, but the exact definition is unclear. An example is when the US military massacred the Sioux at Wounded Knee. Manifest Destiny was the American belief that the U.S. was meant to grow through out the continent, people said that it was God's will. The war of 1812 is an example of this.

Today it was like any other day in my life. The sun was beating down on us, the goats were grazing, the women of the village were collecting water and I was about to go outside, but as usual mama told me to finish my food before going outside. I inhaled my food and dashed outside to meet my friend. We went outside and started to talk about manhood training. Just then we heard a noise by the goats. We ran towards the sound, we saw a leopard eating the pregnant goat. I scared it away with my slingshot. Then I proceeded to skin the goat. I went to papa and told him what happened. His reaction surprised me. I thought he would be happy that I scared the dangerous animal away. Instead he scolded me and told me that I should never attack a dangerous animal. I'll write more too you next time. || This is awful, the canoe house is making everyone's stomach come up. It just keeps rocking back and forth, back and forth all day. Now only bitter spit comes out. The conditions are poor, we are all chained up and put onto shelves as if we are some pots. We are all stuffed close together, whenever our stomach comes up it gets all over us. When I go outside to get cleaned my wounds burn as if I was on that big yellow ball of fire in the sky. But actually things are looking up a bit. Wrestler has been getting everybody ready for an uprising.

Dear diary, Today was the best day I have had by far on the ship. We gave the white men a bit of a beating. We even killed that one person who they call Slater. I had a feeling that we might actually capture the ship. Then one person shot us all and injured almost everyone. Now we are back into this filthy "room". All I can do now is wait until we reach what the white men call "The Motherland". If I survive I will write to you again when we reach. || Today was a good day. I'm feeling great, we are finally going to get to transport slaves again! Just thinking about it is making me giddy. I'm a bit worried about the captain. Whenever I talk about the slaves he gets all tense and on edge. I know that this is his first time but, it's a fun job. You get to make the niggers dance, hear their screams of pain when they get cleaned and best of all we get our beds warmed if you know what I mean. What is so bad about making them slaves. We are putting those animals in their rightful place and anyway we are doing them a favour. I can't wait to get the slaves on board it's always a fun experience. Well, I have to go make some arrangements. I'll write to you on the way to the motherland. || Well at the start of this trip I was very nervous that I was not going to be comfortable with this trip. Guess what I was right, but I cracked under the pressure of my peers. I admit i had my "bed warmed". I can't believe I did this. I am dissapointed at myself and I regret taking this assignment. If I could, I would go back in time and change my decision. I think it it a horrific job that some people are able to take joy in doing. The only thing that is keeping me going is the thought of getting back. It is horrible listening to them scream, it is disgusting to go into their room and stench is horrible. I wish I was home. I will write to you later. ||

 * = **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. ||
