University of North Carolina Wilmington Celia A Slave Essay

 

I’m working on a history writing question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

 Write a 500-800 word essay answering the following question.

“Who was Celia, what happened to her, and what was her crime? What defense did her defense team put forward at her trial? What made her defense so unusual for the time? If her defense was accepted, what would that mean for the slave-holding South (meaning what “elemental assumptions within Southern society” did her defense threaten?”
