History

Your name is John Smith or Josephina Smith (choose either). You lived outside of London in the early 1670s, but a few years later you have signed a contract and find yourself living in Virginia OR Massachusetts as an indentured servant. Please write a 4-5 page essay that explains the choices you made in signing an indenture contract, the prospects you imagined for life in Virginia or Massachusetts, and the conditions (social, economic, physical surroundings, etc.) you now experience. Please take it as a given that you are not only literate but also have the ability to write an excellent essay about your life path and surroundings.
• We strongly encourage you to review chapter 2 of Murrin and chapter 5 of Gray, using both as background information. You must utilize (quote from, refer to, and/or paraphrase with proper citation) some of the documents in chapter 5 of Gray. You may also cite information from the lectures. If you choose to use other source material (anything not on the syllabus), be sure to cite those sources very carefully.
