Number your responses. The response to each question should be a paragraph in length. Double-space. It is worth up to 25 points.
Describe the indentured servant experience. Why might they have chosen to be servants?
What problems does the historian identify with the traditional history of this figure as later told in the newspaper?
How did anti-Irish prejudice make life worse for these indentured servants?
Describe the immigration experience of the victim, William Wise. Why and how did he come to Georgia?
What are some problems with the documents in this case? In other words, why dont historians have a complete picture here?
