Cotton is King

Please read Chapter 12 – Cotton is King: The Antebellum South, 1800–1860 – and submit a text response to two of the following questions by Monday, November 9 at midnight. This a low-stakes assignment, meaning that I want you to start thinking about these questions and preparing for answering complex historical questions on the exams. Compare and contrast the steamboats of the antebellum years with technologies today. In your estimation, what modern technology compares to steamboats in its transformative power? Does the history of the cotton kingdom support or undermine the Jeffersonian vision of white farmers on self-sufficient farms? Explain your answer. Based on your reading of William J. Anderson’s and John Brown’s accounts, what types of traumas did slaves experience? How were the experiences of black women and men similar and different? What strategies did slaves employ to resist, revolt, and sustain their own independent communities and cultures? How did slaves use white southerners’ own philosophies—paternalism and Christianity, for example—to their advantage in these efforts? What are the major arguments put forward by proslavery advocates? How would you argue against their statements? Consider filibustering from the point of view of the Cuban or Nicaraguan people. If you lived in Cuba or Nicaragua, would you support filibustering? Why or why not?

Film Comparison

1.) How does the film version of the historical incident, personage, period, etc., relate to the written source? 2.) Please compare the film version to the “written” history. Pay close attention to how the history of the period, place, persons, etc., are handled in the film—is there significant time compression, are the events dramatized greatly in comparison to the way they are portrayed in the written historical works, are they “distorted” for dramatic or political reasons, are characters added or subtracted from the film version, etc.? 3) In addition to discussing the actual history, characters, settings, periods, etc., please also explore the cinematic elements in the movie version—that is, the way the story is narrated, the way it is filmed or edited (for example, what shots are used, and how they are edited together to create effects or emotional reactions), the way the actors are directed, the way color, music, lighting, camera angles, or other elements are employed, and so forth. 4) What is your perspective on the film/article combination and the themes they explore? Be sure to analyze the importance of the film to the topics and themes covered in our course: What or how does the material contribute to our understanding of Latin American history? How does their approach differ from or complement other sources we have studied? What interests or points of view might shape the points/argument they present? Another approach would be to offer a critique. Critiques can sometimes be an easier starting point when confronting a new work. For more information read this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film
