Minorities in the Federalist Era
Remember the group letter I gave you in class today? Use that to figure out what reading you will do tonight, in addition to the book reading that everyone will do (pages 210-219).
For the online reading, please come to class with notes on your reading and at least one "juicy quote"--a sentence or two 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
Jefferson Letter
Group C: Western Farmers
Whiskey on the Frontier (skip video, read the Making...section and Taxing....section).
Washington's Sixth Annual Message
Group D: Native Americans
Treaty of Greenville
Tecumseh to William Henry Harrison
