What are at least three of the most important or interesting claims that Dawson makes in his article? Make sure to choose them from different parts of the article.
How does Dawson characterize the relationship between slave-owner and slaves who demonstrate aquatic skill?
Dawson refers to a common cultural stereotype held by both African Americans and white Americans. That stereotype is discussed in the Epilogue of the article.
