The Bondswoman’s Narrative is the first work of fiction written by an enslaved woman. Henry Louis Gates Jr. believes the novel to be semi-autobiographical. What elements of the novel do you believe reflect the author’s lived experiences and which do you believe to be fiction? How and why do you think Crafts chose to include certain experiences and exclude others? Explain your reasoning and provide specific examples to support your claims.
All essays should include the following: a clear thesis statement, a strong organizational framework, a discussion of historical context, and textual evidence to support and exemplify claims.
This paper should be three to four pages long. It should be double-spaced, include twelve-point font and one-inch margins. There is no need for a bibliography, but internal citations are necessary (e.g., Crafts, 2) as are page numbers and a title for the paper. Proofread this essay carefully. I will deduct points for typographic, grammatical, and spelling errors.

You have been divided into two groups. For this discussion, Group A (Last name A-L) will assume the role of an individual who supported the American Revolution (a Patriot or Whig), while Group B (Last name M-Z) will argue against it as Loyalist or Tory citizens.
NOTE: My last name Initial is F. So I will assume the role of an individual who supported the American Revolution (a Patriot or Whig).
Loyalist James Chalmers, under the pseudonym of Candidus, wrote Plain Truth in response to Thomas Paine’s famous pamphlet Common Sense. You can select the enclosed link to read Thomas Paine at Gutenberg Project. Then read the excerpted text from Chalmers, shaping your statement in support or in opposition to Chalmers’ argument.
Try not to make assumptions. Instead, assume the historical role of someone who lived in the colonies in the period up to, and including the American Revolution. You could be a Colonial politician, a merchant, a farmer, a shop owner, or even a Southern plantation owner. Be creative.
