City College of San Francisco Twelve Years a Slave Book by Solomon Northup Essay
Approximately 100 slave narratives were
written by enslaved African-Americans before the Civil War (as well as
many that were written after slaves were freed after the war). These
first-hand accounts of life under slavery provide valuable documentation
about the nature of racial slavery in the antebellum south. Over the
next two weeks, you will read excerpts from one such narrative, Twelve Years a Slave,
written by Solomon Northup, a free African-American in New York, and
illegally kidnapped and sold into slavery in 1841. He was sold to a
series of owners in Louisiana and spent 12 years enslaved on a cotton
plantation. His account provides a vivid and more personal account of
the trends in antebellum slavery discussed in this week’s lesson.NOTE: The book
features very vivid descriptions of physical and emotional abuse of
enslaved persons, so it may be hard to read at times. I assign this book
because it represents an important, and often neglected, voice on the
subject of slavery, and it is important to fully comprehend the reality
of the institution that shaped so many Americans lives.In this video, I provide step-by-step instructions on how to complete your paper, so definitely worth a watch before you begin!------------------------------------------------------------------------------IMPORTANT INFO BELOWRead assigned selections from Solomon Northup, Twelve Years a Slave.
You can also use a free online or e-book reader version through Project Gutenberg (Links to an external site.). The book is also available as an audiobook—including a free audiobook version on YouTube.
I encourage you to read the whole book, but the minimum requirement is Chapters 3, 6-8, 12-14, and 16-18If you choose not to read the whole book, read this brief introduction Edit
download
before you read the assigned chapters to give you the necessary background on the events of the beginning of the book.
One of the main themes of Northup's book is the way in which slavery was institutionalized throughout the entire southern society. Write a 3-4 page (double spaced) essay addressing this theme by analyzing 1-2 of the following prompt topics:
One of Northup's main goals in writing
this book is to encourage northerners to join the abolitionist movement
to abolish slavery in the U.S. Toward this goal, he carefully detailed
the effect racial slavery had on enslaved people's bodies, emotions,
perspective, and lives, to present a vivid and accurate portrayal of the
horrors of slavery for white Americans who may not have witnessed
slavery first-hand. How does Northup describe racial slavery's effect on
black bodies, minds, goals, and dreams? (Note: Be specific! You must
provide specific examples, quotes, and details from the book). On the
other hand, how does Northup argue that slavery did NOT change enslaved
people's minds, goals, and dreams? What did you think would have been
the most compelling aspect(s) of Northup’s account, for northern white
readers? (Be sure to address ALL 3 questions if you chose this prompt)What laws, organizations, and social
customs does Northup mention helped maintain racial slavery in
Louisiana? Discuss several specific examples, and analyze what those
examples tell us about antebellum slavery.It wasn’t only slave-owners who fueled
racialized slavery. Non-slaveholders and poor whites also had a vested
interest in continuing slavery, even when it did not directly benefit
them through free labor. In what ways were all white members of
Southern society complicit in the system of slavery, whether they owned
slaves or not? What evidence from the assigned chapters can you cite to
support your conclusions?In several places in his book, Northup
calls attention to the intersection of race, gender, and violence by
highlighting the exploitation of enslaved women. What can we learn about
this intersection from the stories of Eliza and Patsey? How did the
institution of racial slavery effect various women in Northup's book?At the end of chapter 14, Northup
argues: “It is not the fault of the slaveholder that he is cruel, so
much as it is the fault of the system under which he lives.” What
argument is Northup making? Really think critically about this quote—he
is NOT excusing slaveowners’ behavior. What is the context in which he
makes this statement, and what is he really saying? Note:
This is the most challenging prompt question, requiring deep analysis
and understanding this quote in context of all the assigned reading
selections, not just the couple pages surrounding it. There is a lot to
explore in this topic, but it is the most challenging to do well, so if
you're looking for an easier/quicker paper to write, I suggest picking a
different prompt.

and conclusion, contain a clear organizational structure, and provide
evidence from the reading to back up your argument.Your essay MUST include specific examples from
the assigned chapters to support the claims or arguments you make. You
should also incorporate relevant information from the weekly lesson

ideas or information from an internet source will be considered copy writing and will result in an F on the paper.You MUST provide citations for all direct quotes you use from the readings. At the end of the quote, use the following citation style:
If you read the physical book, cite the page number: (Northup, page #)If you listened to the audiobook, you
can cite either the time of the quote you use, or simply cite the
chapter the quote is from: (Northup, 1:39:05) OR (Northup, Chapter 7). If you read the ebook, cite the chapter: (Northup, Chapter 7)Papers not citing sources will docked points.You do not need to provide a Works Cited page.
