Part I
- What is going on in the court case in the primary source document?
- Did anything about the case surprise you? Consider as part of this question the fact that the people testifying are white people.
- What does the case tell us about the nature of slavery and race relations in the late-1600s in Virginia?
*Side Note: All people testifying in the court case are white settlers.
Part II
This transcript of court testimony is an example of a primary source. Having read and interpreted it, please offer your thoughts on the following:
- Did this source change your understanding of slavery and race relations in the early days of the English colonies? If so, how?
- Primary sources provide historians with important information/perspectives on the periods that they are studying. That said, they can also be problematic. What challenges do primary sources present? How could this, or any other primary source, lead a historian to make incorrect assumptions/conclusions/interpretations of the past?
