A Defense of the African Slave trade

In this assignment, you will use the “SCIM” method to analyze and interpret an historical document as a primary historical source (com/scim/index.cfm%29.” target=”_blank”>https://www.historicalinquiry.com/scim/index.cfm). While you may read any introductory (secondary) material included with the document, your paper should focus on the document itself.

Choose one of the documents posted on Blackboard for Week 2. Written documents will probably work best for this assignment, although you may use an image if you prefer.

The SCIM method involves four stages of interpretation:

• Summarizing
• Contextualizing
• Inferring, and
• Monitoring.
