“Letters of a Negro” document found in this week’s module, and in your own words write a no-less-than-one but no-more-than-two page response to what you read. This is an easy assignment, and fun! These are two very short letters written by an unknown black man to Mississippi governor John Stone (for whom Stone Country is named) right after the Civil War. Think about what it was like in the South after the Civil War, especially for African Americans [get this information from this week’s video lectures.] Read these documents through that lens.
Your response should include a scant summation of what you read . The majority of what you write, however, should be a *response* to what you read. For example, did you recognize in the reading anything we talked about in class? Did anything you read surprise you? Contradict or confirm anything you already knew? What stood out to you the most? What were you thinking about as you were reading these letters?
