1. Initial post due Sunday …
Directions:
This week we are looking at the Black codes or laws that were enacted after the Civil War to oppress African Americans and prevent equality for people of color.
Look at the website that explains the History of Racist Laws in America.
Pick one law listed on the website “History of Racist Laws in America” and summarize the law for your peers. Do not limit yourself to only laws against African Americans…any law that goes against an American’s right for equality has a dramatic effect on the society as a whole.

For Grading Criteria Rubric on discussions please see LD Discussion Rubric.pdf
Week 2 and Beyond: Discussion Guidelines
Using the REQUIRED textbooks listed in the READING Materials section of the CONTENT area, and showcasing the history discovered by specifying the exact PAGE in the book that you found the HISTORY discussed. You may use additional scholarly sources but the textbook must be used and connected with exact pages to show the reading and comprehension work has been done for this week. No formal citation is required for these discussions but please review the prompt carefully for Follow Ups and research-based essay tasks. As you should be referencing your textbook you do NOT need formal footnotes as the only item needed is the page number. Whereas formal citations require more specifics.
Starting in Week 2, all discussion posts must be submitted directly into the discussion area—attachments will not be accepted. Your responses should draw from the following sources:
- Textbook
- Lessons and videos
- Primary and scholarly research conducted in the APUS Library, JSTOR, and other approved academic resources.
Important Reminders:
- Do not use encyclopedias or Wikipedia as sources.
- Your initial post should be approximately Three – four paragraphs ( each paragraph 3-4 sentences each) or about 300 words of content.
- Your peer responses should be approximately Two paragraphs or over 100 words of content in each response to meet the requirements.
- Although not required, to prove validity of what you write to your peers, and to show factual evidence of what you claim is history…always include references, even in peer responses, to demonstrate your research and proof of historical accuracy.
