Discussion Post
For this Discussion you need to read: "Olaudah Equiano Describes the Middle Passage, 1789" and " Francis Daniel Pastorius Describes his Ocean Voyage, 1684" from the American Yawp Reader. You may also want to reference the "Print of the Slave Ship Brookes" as well. Then in your main post you should compare and contrast the two primary source documents, considering how each person described their voyage to America and what they experienced. Be sure to discuss how these two documents help you understand the real lived experience of historical people from the 1780s, and connect the documents to other topics you have read about in class -- such as exploration, slavery, immigration, etc. You may also contemplate what other sources or information you think would help you better understand their experiences.
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
