HIS 100 Module Three Activity Template: Revising Questions
Replace the bracketed text below with your responses.
Identify the topic you chose to explore:
“Globalization: Act Prohibiting the Importation of Slaves”.
Identify a historical perspective that could be applied to your historical event.
One historical perspective that could be applied to the globalization of the Act Prohibiting
Importation of Slaves is the idea of human rights and the struggle for freedom and equality.
The transatlantic slave trade was a cruel and inhumane practice that violated the inherent
rights and freedoms of all human beings. Many abolitionists in the United States were
motivated by a belief in these rights and freedoms and worked tirelessly to end the
institution of slavery. The Act Prohibiting Importation of Slaves was an important step
towards achieving this goal, as it helped to end the transatlantic slave trade and eventually
led to the abolition of slavery in the United States. From this perspective, the globalization of
the act can be seen as part of a long and ongoing struggle for freedom and equality that
continues to this day. Slavery is a violation of human rights. Slavery forced labor and human
trafficking are violations of human rights because these acts strip human beings of their
inherent rights (Human Rights and Slavery | the Connection - End Slavery Now, n.d.).
Revise your research question based on evidence from your primary and secondary sources.
We know all there is to know when it comes to the benefits of the Importation of Slaves and we
also know the obvious reason of why it’s bad; its inhumane, slavery is bad, etc. What we don’t
know is even though there was an act prohibiting the importation of foreign slaves in 1808, the
enslaved population continued to grow and expand. How is this possible?
Why did the enslaved population increase after the Act Prohibiting the Importation of Slaves was
passed in 1808?
Explain how historical perspective and evidence from sources influenced your finalized research
question.
Historical perspective and evidence from sources influenced my finalized research question by not
only providing me with first-hand information but also information that was discovered later
throughout time. It was mentioned that even though there was an Act Prohibiting the
Importation of Slaves, the enslaved population continued to grow and expand. The evidence
from my sources most defiantly strengthened my research question by providing evidence but
also challenged my research question to provide certain answers as to why it expanded. Allowing
me to find all possible factors and sources pertaining to the expansion of the slave trade even
after the Act was passed to prohibit slave trades.
