Everyone will read pages 210-219.

For the online reading, please come to class with a paragraph summary of your reading(s) and at least one "amazing quote"--a sentence or two quote that really sums up the reading, makes you think, or that you have a question about.

Group A: Women
Abigail Adams Letter
John Adams Letter

Group B: Slavery
Washington's Will and Testament (last two pages ONLY)
Jefferson's Notes from the State of Virginia

Group C: Western Farmers
Whiskey on the Frontier (skip video, read the Making...section and Taxing....section).
Washington's Sixth Annual Message (read the two excerpts here, the Message & Farewell Address. Ignore the questions!)

Group D: Native Americans
Treaty of Greenville (read excerpts A and D only)
Tecumseh to William Henry Harrison

And if you get bored, a youtube video on AHam. For fun....
