Impacts of Colonial Legacies in the Modern Era

The paper will be graded for content, organization, and style. It should follow the term paper format linked in the Formal Paper Writing Guideline file. Make sure you provide a thesis statement or main argument at the end of the first paragraph and follow that argument throughout the paper. Explain the concepts/ideas and provide specific examples for each part. You will need to do some more research on these topics to get a better understanding. (Use academic language and check for spelling, grammar and punctuation.) Please make sure to highlight the thesis statement/main argument, so that I’ll know where it is. Discuss some of the “central conflicts” of the colonial era, our “colonial legacies” that would shape the region for centuries to come: of the conquest, subjugation and exploitation of Native peoples (native slavery, the encomienda); diseases and demographic collapse (which ones? When? Consequences?); the transatlantic slave trade (how did that happen? How many? To what regions and for what?), and the emergence of race as a hegemonic idea (why is that important?); and patriarchy as a hegemonic idea. and discuss how these would matter for the modern era- the 19th-21st Remember, “legacies” don’t have to be negative, for example: culture, transculturation, language and music. I provided some major study hints from a digital version of the Early American History book from class. I will link just Chapters 1/2, as those are the only ones necessary. The second major study hint is Hegemony Out of Conquest, a brief article by Susan Kellogg, which I have linked in a file.
