After completing the assigned readings, media clip, and PowerPoint lectures for this Module, draft your 500-word Discussion Board essay in response to the below query.  Moreover, when drafting your response, remember that you are required to use and reference specific details from the Module’s assigned readings (chapter 2), media clips, and/or PowerPoint lectures to support the points you make in your essay.  Moreover, you will need to draft a separate brief reply to the essay of at least two of your classmates. 

Essay #1 Discussion Board Query: How did “race” and “slavery” come to be almost synonymous? Was it not possible to extend slavery to “white” persons?

When submitting your response to this and other Discussion Board queries start a new thread.  (You will not be able to read or reply to your classmates’ essays until you submit your own essay.)  Then, type your essay directly into the text box provided.  Or, you may copy-and-paste text into the text box from an outside MS Word document.  However, DO NOT attach your essay as a separate file.  That is unnecessary and sometimes makes it more difficult for me and for others to read your posts.
