An essay that demonstrates how the proponents and opponents of slavery used themes when making their arguments

Using primary texts supplied IN THE FOLDERS
ABOVE, choose two pro-slavery and two anti-slavery
documents and write a 750-word essay that
demonstrates how the proponents and opponents of
slavery used the themes that frame this course when
making their arguments (Mobility, Democracy,
Capitalism, and Difference). You should identify the
authors’ main point, and utilizing two of the four themes,
examine how they defended their position. Your paper
should conclude by explaining why some
contemporaries of slavery may have found certain
arguments compelling, while others found them
offensive (to conclude effectively, you will need to
explain the historical context in which these texts were
written, based on what you have read in the text and
learned in class discussion). NB: you are not expected
to incorporate all of the sources listed, just those
relevant to your approach to the paper prompt.
