Slavery “There was never a moment in our history when slavery wasn’t a sleeping serpent. It lay coiled up under the table during the deliberations of the Constitutional Convention. Owing to the Cotton Gin, it was more than half awake. Thereafter, slavery was on everyone’s mind, though not always on his tongue.” ---John J Chapman

With your partner, decide where your current person fits on the opinion spectrum and why. Talk to the people around you to decide on a “correct” order. Totally supports slavery------------Totally opposes slavery

On one side of the line write “totally supports slavery,” on the other side write “totally against slavery.” Place each historical figure where he/she would fall on the line. Write their names and a one sentence explanation for their placement. Supports Slavery------------------------------------------Opposes Slavery
