Bacon’s Rebellion: Racism in America | Michael Trownsell | TS (youtube.com)
One of the key events in the history of racial formation in what later would become the United States was the events which occurred during colonial times in Jamestown, Virginia in 1676. This single event would change everything in relation to race and who was to be considered White in the American colonies moving forward.
For this post, please share (in your own words either written or in video) key events which led to Bacon’s Rebellion (based on video). Additionally, also discuss what occurred in the aftermath of the rebellion to racial formation in the Colonies and how did this rebellion help to further define and consolidate who was to be considered White?

“How did the Age of Empire shape American foreign policy from 1890 to 1914, and what were the experiences and impacts of Americans during the Great War (1914-1919)? Additionally, in what ways did the Jazz Age redefine the nation in the aftermath of World War I, spanning from 1919 to 1929?”

Answer Main Question (How did Europeans perceive the role of organized sports in Europe during the period 1840-1939?)

When blacks were slaves, whites considered them hard working, reliable, trustworthy, loyal, faithful and outstanding caretakers of their families.
However after blacks were freed, there was a negative media campaign created to highlight black men as savages, barbarians and rapists and black women as mammies, jezebels and promiscuous. This was done to incite violence and negativity towards blacks.
Review the websites in week 8, find an image (from the past) or very short video (under 2mins) that portrays blacks negatively, post the image in the discussion section and answer the following questions:
What stereotype is it portraying? How does it make you feel? Discuss what you can do to counteract (positively) the image that is being portrayed? In other words, explain what you can do (get an education, start your own business etc.) to show whites and other races that the image is not true? Also, post a positive image of blacks (families, children, etc.) to back up what you are saying. As always, everyone should have different images to post and cite your sources.
I will uploads images that are already taken by my classmates.

ASSIGNMENT 1 Catharine Beecher was the great ideologue of the cult of domesticity. She glorified the special tasks and responsibilities of women. She agreed with most middle-class men that women’s place was in the home; but she also believed that women should dominate that sphere as professionals and masters of the domestic arts. Please read the attached document. Catherine Beecher Domestic Economy, 1841.docx Download Catherine Beecher Domestic Economy, 1841.docx Questions to Consider: (These are to get you started.) How does Beecher connect women’s support of democratic institutions with their religious beliefs? According to Beecher, what is necessary “in order that each individual may pursue and secure the highest degree of happiness within his reach”? Explain how Beecher describes the “separate sphere” of women in American society. Taking into account that Beecher was writing in 1841, was she realistic in her expectations? Why or why not? Evaluate the place of Beecher’s beliefs about a women’s role in today’s society. Do they still apply? Have they been achieved? ASSIGNMENT 2 Discuss the documentary, Reconstruction: The Second Civil War. What did you find interesting and why? What did you learn that you didn’t know? (See Lecture 12 for the links to the two-part documentary.)

Your Assignment: Using the Slave Narratives from Henry Bibb, Solomon Northup, and Harriet Jacobs in the document posted below, answer the following three questions thoroughly and specifically, including multiple examples and short quotes from each of the narrators in all three of the questions: 1) Each of the narratives describes aspects of enslaved people’s daily work, their family relations, and overall culture. Of those categories, what aspects did the three individuals experience in common, and in what ways did they differ? 2) Each of the narrators describes a confrontation between a slave and a master. What were the common elements of these confrontations, and what was different about Harriet Jacob’s confrontation from the two men? What does that suggest about the different methods men and women used to resist their owners? 3) Slave narratives were written by African Americans, but read mostly by northern whites. Where do you see evidence that the narrators possibly had a white audience in mind? And, what ideas and impressions of slavery were they trying to impart to their readers. Attention! Directions and Guidelines: *Make sure to type your answers in grammatically correct, complete sentences and organized paragraphs. **State your main point clearly, and support that point with plenty of specific evidence (including short quotes) from the document. Analyze the material (explain it in your own words). Do not simply restate what it says. ***Submit your answers by attaching a Word doc.
