Write two to three paragraphs to address the prompt. Use specific information from the text to support your statements. Explain the different viewpoints of Frederick Douglass and Captain Canot regarding slavery. What evidence does each use? How does each present his information?
Review the rubric to ensure you are turning in your best work.

Reading multiple texts about a single topic—even if those texts express opposing viewpoints—can help deepen and improve your understanding. For that reason, you will now read an excerpt from Captain Canot, or Twenty Years of an African Slaver.

Before you begin, know that Canot was a slave trader. His views on the institution of slavery and the practice of treating human beings as cargo are repulsive. Likewise, his descriptions of the conditions that enslaved people faced aboard his ship are disturbing. Reading Canot’s work, however, offers us the chance to more fully understand the brutal realities of slavery and to develop a greater appreciation for Frederick Douglass’s efforts to see the institution ended.

Finally, as you read this memoir, remember that different texts—particularly difficult ones—require multiple reading strategies at once.

Explanation:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
