Resendez’s book, The Other Slavery: The Uncovered Story of Indian

Enslavement in America, students are to answer the following questions: 1) According to Resendez, what main factor contributed to the large number of indigenous peoples’ deaths at the

beginning of the European conquest of the Caribbean? What role did smallpox play in the

demise of indigenous peoples and when did he state that this occurred? What are his

explanations for this? 2) What were some of the brutal characteristics of the enslavement of

indigenous peoples in the Caribbean and in North America?; and 3) Specifically until when were

some indigenous peoples in the U.S. enslaved? Why was their enslavement able to persist even

after the abolishment of slavery in the U.S. by the 13th Amendment?

**Please answer the above questions using fact-based information and specifics from the

assigned book.

*Reminder: You should answer each of the above questions in each of the 3 body paragraphs.

*Conclusion: you may summarize your thesis using different wording and include an additional

viewpoint on paper topic. One suggestion is to explain why studying such a topic is important

and its relevance for today.
