In this course students will examine the slave trade industry and its impact on our Canadian culture during the 18th century and beyond. By examining the policies, people and events of the day, students will better understand abolitionist and underground activity. Case studies, in-class discussions and learning activities will focus on settlements within our community which have been established to settle escaped slaves/fugitives. Students will develop an awareness of their own personal history, and determine how these roots have helped to bind and shape our community as we know it today.
