Need to read chapter 3 of a book called ” A different Mirror a history of multicultural America by Ronald Takaki” before writing. I made a pdf of chapter 3 and upload the file.
In Chapter 3 (“The ‘Giddy Multitude’: The Hidden Origins of Slavery”), Ronald Takaki reveals an early period in U.S. history when large numbers of laborers in bondage (enslaved or indentured servants) were white.
Both white and black captives were exploited in a period when racial ambiguity “had not yet developed into rigid caste lines.”
Given our common understanding of slavery and race in the United States, what happened?
Why did racial ambiguity develop into rigid caste lines?
In addressing this overarching question, your short paper must respond to two specific questions. How did the racial difference in labor laws and citizen rights emerge in the 1600s?
What impact did it have on the construction of race in the U.S.?
In other words, how did the need for cheap labor, enslaved or free, influence ideas and attitudes about race in the American colonies?
also, focus on bacon’s Rebellion ( pg 58-62 )
What were the issues underlying Bacon’s Rebellion? What was the outcome? How does Takaki view the results of Bacon’s Rebellion in relation to racial divisions and differences?
**The paper length should be 2-to-3 pages, double-spaced,12-point font, Times New Roman, Chicago-style footnotes. Please include a title and send as a word document
