Chart 2

This chart is to be used during your research period.  You must circle the stereotype you are researching at the top. Then you must find at least two pieces of evidence that either supports or dispels the stereotype.  You must also cite a reference for each piece of evidence (i.e. record which newspaper it is from with the date and title of the article).

  • There were no abolitionists in the South.
