(cut and paste it into your browser if the link doesn’t work, it’s an hour and 22 minutes long)

After reading chapters 4 and 5 in your text and watching this film, what was this “terrible transformation?” What factors created it and what were its implications for blacks and whites in the American colonies? Make sure to use specific examples from the film in your answer.

The requirement of my instructor is as following:

1. Even when I ask “what do you think,” I’m not asking for your “opinion,” I’m asking you to offer a reasoned argument based off of the materials in this course.

2. These answers, while using the material from the book or the films, need to be in your own words. Do not cut and paste from a website. There is no reason to use outside materials at all and I strongly urge you not to do that–paraphrasing without providing citation is plagiarism.

Thank you very much!
