Responding To Navigation Acts Video
The students did get their facts straight. Well, maybe not for the last minute or so, but i we didnt get up to that part yet so I dont know. I would improve their work by talking more about each subject because they dont say a lot about anything and its kind of hard to follow because of that.

=Main Idea of Slavery Video and CCQ's=
 * Main Idea-** From the start of the American Colonies, slavery was widely embraced and used to boost the economy of the colonies and England.
 * CCQ-** So slavery was more widespread on the North? I always thought it was in the South.
 * CCQ-** I grew up with people telling me that slavery was more in the South. Is it because they're embarrased?

=﻿Northern Colonial Economy= or are thry 100% illegal?
 * Main Idea-** The Northern Colononies made more money by growing crops and fishing, then trading with other countries.
 * CCQ- "**The number of fur-bearing animals soon declined. Colonists turned to other resources, such as timber and fish."(p.78) When did they start hunting the fur bearing animals again? Did they push some of them to extinction? Because some of the furry animals alive back then aren't around today.
 * CCQ- "**Whales provided oil for lamps as well as materials used in perfumes, candles, and women’s corsets."(p.78) Do we still use whale oil for products

Timber was one of the main exports from the Northern Colonies Southern Colonies had many shipyards.

=﻿Southern Colonial Economy=
 * Main Idea-** The Southern Colonies made money by making and selling tobaco and indigo.

=﻿Triangular Trade= Triangular trade was a route used to transport slaves and goods such as copper and cloth to the Americas, Europe, and Africa.

It does not change my opinion that there is historical evidence that he was born in America because fellow slaves could have been on the ship or told him what to write. My opinion should not have changed anyway.

How could he buy and sell slaves while trying to set them free? That is really messed up.
