[SOLVED] African Burial Ground

Requirements for writer: Native english speakers only; extensive experience with academic history research and writing. The instructions for the paper are to write an original research paper, approximately 4,000 to 5,000 words in length, based on primary source research based on a historical question. The paper must include your chosen topic and the research question you will pursue, a discussion of how historians have treated the topic in the past, a discussion of your sources and methods, and a set of hypotheses & conclusions based on primary research using concrete examples with thick descriptions. It requires Chicago style and bibliography with approximately 20 sources. Hypothesize about the lives of enslaved Africans in colonial New York from the evidence (material objects & mortuary remains) uncovered at the African Burial Ground – use the burials to understand that time and place. The research question could be along the lines of how did the existence of slavery, what historical factors shaped their mortuary and funeral practices? How was their communal life and cultural expression effected? How did they create a life for themselves in spite of it? What cultural and social resources did they use? Key primary sources: Link to African Burial Ground: https://www.nps.gov/afbg/learn/historyculture/archaeology.htm The New York African Burial Ground: Unearthing the African Presence in Colonial New York. Howard University Press: Washington DC, 2009.
