Question

Description

see attachment

The essay must adhere to all academic standards and conventions including but not limited to

having an introduction, body, conclusion, thesis, argument, evidence, grammatically sound, no

first- or second-person pronouns, and academic and historically sound language (the terms

introduced in this class and when you mention each term then make sure you define the term and

act as if you are writing to an audience who knows nothing about African American history).

The student will word process using Times New Roman font, 12-point, standard 1inch margins

on all four sides, double spaced, page numbers, and make sure space after is 0 (this is found

under the line spacing menu under the Home Tab). The student’s name will not appear anywhere

on the document. You will not have a header or footer except for footnotes. The student should

completely answer all aspects of the question (and this answer is what the thesis will be arguing).

The student must use footnotes when citing the lectures and readings using Chicago Manual

Style. Not strictly following these instructions will result in receiving a 0 on the assignment with

no exceptions or excuses.

Answer one option.

Option 1

Over the semester, we have gone through the creations of Africans to African Americans and the

creation was both an act of oppression and resistance. Once the colony of England becomes the

United States, African Americans go through several transformations to be Africans and

Americans in search for not only identity but being recognized as citizenship. Detail, analyze,

and argue how and why the identities of Africans shift into being African Americans in both

freedom and enslavement and make sure to include the external and internal forces that shaped

the identities and citizenship of African Americans in the US.

Option 2

In the United States, African Americans are confronted with what is freedom for both enslaved

and free people. However, African Americans never doubted they were deserving of freedom.

Detail, analyze, and argue how African Americans asserted their humanness that was deserving

of freedom and make sure to keep in mind all of the varying strategies that African Americans

devised to obtain freedom and human rights.
