Questions:
What is the cultural significance of Sojourner Truth? Cultural significance is more than just a biography. Go beyond the details of her life–why is she still important for us to study today? How does her famous speech, “Aint’ I a Woman?” still resonate with us? What role did Truth play in the history of abolition and women’s rights? What else stood out for you from this week’s readings? What interested you the most and why?
Based on this week’s readings AND any other research you bring in (cite it!), describe the relationship between temperance, abolition, and suffrage. All three of those movements worked closely together in the late 19th-century to begin to eliminate slavery (as a legal institution), curtail domestic abuse resulting from drinking, and earn women the right to vote. They are all tied together–summarize your understanding of those three movements/terms. Use sources and QUOTE from them!
Your quiz should be about 2-4 pages (600-1000 words–MINIMUM of 600 words)–and should incorporate specific references back to the readings/short clips in this week’s folder.
