We have to find and draw something that represents slavery in the U.S. during the early 1800s. The slave related item should show the evolution and chronology of slavery beginning from the 1600s to the 1850s. Can anyone please provide any GOOD examples of a symbolic and slave related reference? Examples shouldn't be literal, but rather symbolic. I don't need a big explanation unless you think I would find it useful, but just ideas is what I'm looking for. For example a cotton plant (the roots being the roots of slavery starting from the slavs in europe with the portugese and the carribean and sugar cane. and the flowering of the plant is symbolic to the flowering of the southern economy and a falling leaf for abolitionists, the stem representing the passages in which the slaves traveled and were traded ect.) obviously I can't use this example since it belongs to the teacher, but if anyone can suggest anything similar I would really appreciate it and I thank you in advance.
