You are a middle-aged African American in the mid-nineteenth century. A local newspaper reporter has just learned that decades ago you were a Negro Fort maroon!

In an interesting, compelling, and fact-filled essay, describe in great detail the history of Negro Fort as seen through your eyes. Discuss any and all topic(s) that you deem relevant; however, the reporter (and your professor) insists that at some point you describe (a) how you arrived at Negro Fort, (b) what daily life was like at the fort, (c) and what became of you after the fort’s destruction.

BOOK ESSAY INSTRUCTIONS History can be interesting, intimidating, depressing, and uplifting. It can also be fun! Thus, I want to make this assignment unlike any other essay you will complete in college. If you do not derive at least some pleasure from writing this essay, I will be sorely disappointed. Above all else, the goal of this assignment is to demonstrate a detailed knowledge and understanding of the history of Negro Fort as described in The Battle of Negro Fort. In summary, you are to write a 2-3 pg. historical fiction response to the prompt below. DUE DATE: Your response must be submitted to Blackboard (via Turnitin) before midnight on Wednesday, July 1, 2020. (Late essays will not be accepted for any reason without a documented medical excuse. To avoid technological problems, turn your exam in early.) LENGTH: Your exam should be approximately 2 pages DOUBLE-SPACED. However, you may write up to 3 pages total. DUE TO TIME CONSTRAINTS, ANYTHING AFTER PAGE 3 WILL NOT BE READ OR GRADED FOR ANY REASON. MECHANICAL RULES: Essays should be proofread, spell-checked, and grammar-checked, to eliminate spelling, punctuation, and grammatical errors. Each essay should include an Introduction, Body (with evidence/examples), and at least a brief Conclusion. • Unlike your Midterm and Final Exams, in this essay YOU MUST use the first person point of view. When writing in the first person, you will use pronouns like I, me, my, we, us, and our/ours. If you are unfamiliar with the first person, please go online and peruse some of the many websites offering some insight. INTERNET/ACADEMIC HONESTY: The internet should not be consulted for any reason. Any evidence of having used the internet is cheating and will result in a failing grade for the assignment and the course. Any student who copies another person’s work, or in any way submits work that is unoriginal, will receive a failing grade for the assignment and the course. All that is needed for you to complete this assignment is The Battle of Negro Fort. However, YOU CAN use Brinkley’s Unfinished Nation (particularly Chapter Seven) for additional context and background information. HELPFUL HINTS: • For this assignment, creativity counts. I strongly encourage you to tell as compelling a story as possible. But be careful about historical accuracy. For example, give yourself a name. But not just any name. Use a name that a Negro Fort maroon may actually have had; or, if you’d like, use the name of an actual Negro Fort maroon. Do not use something like Stanley Kowalksi (a PolishAmerican character in Tennessee Williams’ A Streetcar Named Desire) for obvious reasons. • Quotations are encouraged; however, you may forgo traditional citing practices when quoting from the assigned readings materials. To promote creativity, it is acceptable and even encouraged to invent quotations (and/or dialogue). But be sure they are historically accurate. GRADING CRITERIA: Essays will be evaluated according to the following: Did the student: (1) follow directions? (2) use correct grammar/spelling? (3) employ appropriate writing style/prose (like the first person point of view)? (4) accurately describe (a) how they arrived at Negro Fort, (b) what daily life was like at the fort, and (c) and what became of them after the fort’s destruction? (5) demonstrate a detailed knowledge and understanding of the history of Negro Fort as described in The Battle of Negro Fort?

FICTIONAL REPORT ON ‘THE BATTLE OF NEGRO FORT’

Introduction
The Battle of Negro Fort is one of the historical wars that reflects the struggle and suffering
of African Americans against slavery and segregation. As I recall, there are many reasons as to
why the negro fort war started, but the fight against slavery was the most outstanding factor. As a
negro maroon, the history of the battle of the negro Fort or the African bluff, as we used to call it,
goes beyond what’s depicted history books. In this story report, I will give you the African prospect
bluff’s real history to demonstrate to you how this war was a justifiable course. Unlike most of the
researchers have shared on this war, I will give you a detailed analysis of how I arrived at the Fort,
how it star...
