Midterm Study Guide

Hello,

The site was bombarded by spam today.  I’ve enabled a feature that requires all posts to be approved before they are posted.  Once you’ve had a post approved, you should be able to post again without approval as long as you use the same name.  This will slow down the spammers, but possibly also you’re communication with your fellows.  Sorry for any delays.

LOYALISTS!!!!

Post your speeches on the political reasons to remain loyal to Britain from Monday!!! You must do this for your classmates!!!

Readings for the Revolution Debate are available on the Readings page.

I’ve posted new readings for next week on the readings page.  Email me if you have a problem getting them.  Please note when you need to have read them by (two for Wednesday and two for Friday).

There is a new page called “Roll” that will show attendance records for the class. The password to gain access is the same as for the readings page. The records are not accurate yet, but they should be in the next few days. Please see the syllabus for more information about the course attendance policy.

This is the website for History 215, African American History to 1877, at Cleveland State University.  The course is taught by Dr. Rob Shelton.
