Answer the following questions in short essay format. Remember, an A answer must
use evidence from the primary sources and podcast to develop your argument.
1. What are the many reasons as to why Rose Davis could have and perhaps should
have won her case? In your view, which argument put forth by Mary Davis carried the
most weight in terms of securing her daughters freedom, and why?
2. Why do you think Rose Davis lost her petition?
3. Connect Rose Davis experience to the following statement found within the Backstory
podcast: It turns out the history of these first Africans arrival [to Virginia] is
anything but simple. What do the Backstory historians mean by this and where does
Rose Davis fit in that argument?
4. Compare the Print of the Slave Ship Brookes from the year 1789 with what you
listened to in the podcast about the arrival of the first Africans to Virginia in 1619. What
are some notable differences between the two? When considering this question, evaluate
how slavery and the slave trade changed from 1619 to 1789. (Remember, use only
assigned materials to answer these questions.)
