Locate one historical person you think you would work with, and explain why you think you have common goals, and what you would like to do to accomplish them

Discussion

synthesis the most important parts, put them in your own words, and even add your own spin on the character. Keep in mind the language for formerly enslaved people: freedperson/freedpeople/freedwoman etc. It’s 1865 and folks are emancipated!  One thing not to do! Don’t imagine regional, old-timey, language you think your person would use! If we were in-person I would say “no fake accents or funny voices!” So avoid any textual equivalents. We’re in the south, though, so y’all is fine :D

Locate one historical person you think you would work with, and explain why you think you have common goals, and what you would like to do to accomplish them (50-100 words). Locate one historical person you think you might disagree with, and ask them if they would support your goals (50-100 words). If someone asks you the above question -respond! . You may find that others chose the same role as you, feel free to talk to “yourself”
