Slavery and the Founding . This new resource offers lessons exploring the role of slavery in the founding of the United States. It uses a combination of primary source analysis, discussion prompts, and student reflections to consider the paradox of how slavery became entrenched in a country founded upon liberty and equality.
Students who use this resource will discuss topics like the resistance of slavery during the colonial era, the natural rights theory and how it influenced the foundation of the Declaration of Independence, how the country’s Founding principles relate to challenging slavery, the participation of Black Americans in the Revolutionary War and their natural rights, and much more.
BRI staff wrote this resource with input from master teachers nationwide. All materials were also reviewed by scholar experts with backgrounds in history and political science. The full resource will be available by the end the month,
