Slavery and the Founding ! This resource explores the influence of slavery during the Founding period and the paradox of slavery's continuance into the early republic. It uses primary source analysis, discussion prompts, and student reflections to investigate this central question of how slavery existed despite the revolutionary principles of the Founding with the goal of facilitating understanding the history of the United States and the challenges of self-government.
Students will discuss topics like the resistance to 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, and much more!
