    As the title suggests, this webpage covers the slavery in America. It talks about the traditions of slavery in America-- how it originated, role of slavery-- and effects of slave trade-- the trans saharan slavery and atlantic trade, which Morgan also covered in his article. It also covers the end of slave trading in Africa which might be irrelevant to the topics since Armesto and Morgan talks about the slavery itself not how it ended, but might be useful when one's comparing the slavery in Africa and in America how it differs.

      "African Resistance to Enslavement" - pg. 37. This article suggests that the Africans did not voluntarily go into slavery. In fact, this article gives multiple examples as how the Africans rebelled and revolted against their "masters." This article gives descriptions as how the Africans tried to flee and escape not only from their "owners," but while they were in transit to a new place to work. This article will contrast nicely with the "Africa and the Atlantic" article we read by Philip D. Morgan because that article seemed to suggest that the Africans voluntarily enslaved themselves, unlike this one.

  • Triumph of the Will was a masterpiece of propagandistic filmmaking and is still studied as an important milestone in the documentary genre. It played a key role in popularizing the Nazi Party, portraying it as an irresistible movement and introducing to the German people—and, to the rest of the world—the leaders of the party. Many film historians consider it one of the most important cinematic works of the 20th century.
  • The rallies set against Speer's grandiose backdrop became known to the rest of the world thanks to Leni Riefenstahl's powerful propaganda film Triumph of the Will.
