This relationship was at the core of the first major debate, the one between supporters and opponents of the Virginia Plan.

Several of those compromises involved the question of slavery, the most potentially divisive issue among the states."

Hot Coffee Brings the Real World Right Into Your Classroom! Textbooks often present an idealized view of both government and economics, detailing how things are supposed to work instead of what actually happens out there in the real world. Hot Coffee can show students the rest of the story, revealing how the civil justice system has been compromised in recent decades. Students will see how: • Many people have lost all right to “have their day in court” when they suffer serious harm • Juries in many states no longer have the power they used to • Big business interests are taking control of the courts by attacking judges they feel might rule against them • Advertising campaigns orchestrated by big business interests have persuaded Americans to support a steady erosion of their rights Students Love Watching Hot Coffee! The movie Hot Coffee really gets students thinking hard about the country in which they live. How do I know? I hear them talking, and I don’t just mean during class discussions that are structured and organized by me as we proceed through the movie’s four segments. When the bell rings to end class, they’re still talking, and they keep it up as they’re walking out the door and heading to their next class! In fact, a number of other teachers have come to me about the movie because their students have brought it up in other classes, either because they can’t stop talking about it or because they find a way to work it into issues under study there as well! Why do students like the movie so much? • It’s engaging, building information around four real-world cases in which people got hurt and found themselves confronting the new reality of a compromised civil justice system. • It presents a counterpoint to textbook presentations, which can come across as fake to students because books are often unwilling to critique the country. • Each of the movie’s four segments is short enough to capture and keep their attention. Teacher Convenience Features of these Hot Coffee Movie Worksheets --All 105 questions are in the multiple choice format so that they can be easily and quickly graded, both by students correcting their own work or by busy teachers. --These Hot Coffee worksheets are provided in two formats so that teachers can have materials that automatically match the whole movie, or that match just one segment at a time if they are showing the movie in the logical chunks into which the director has divided it.

Summary of Episode 1: The Black Atlantic The Black Atlantic explores the truly global experiences that created the African-American people. Beginning a full century before the first documented “20-and-odd” slaves who arrived at Jamestown, Virginia, the episode portrays the earliest Africans, both slave and free, who arrived on these shores. But the transatlantic slave trade would soon become a vast empire connecting three continents. Through stories of individuals caught in its web, like a 10-year-old girl named Priscilla who was transported from Sierra Leone to South Carolina in the mid-18th century, we trace the emergence of plantation slavery in the American South. The late 18th century saw a global explosion of freedom movements, and The Black Atlantic examines what that Era of Revolutions — American, French and Haitian — would mean for African Americans and for slavery in America.

Summary of Episode 2: The Age of Slavery "The Age of Slavery" illustrates how black lives changed dramatically in the aftermath of the American Revolution. For free black people in places like Philadelphia, these years were a time of tremendous opportunity. But for most African Americans, this era represented a new nadir. King Cotton fueled the rapid expansion of slavery into new territories, and a Second Middle Passage forcibly relocated African Americans from the Upper South into the Deep South. Yet as slavery intensified, so did resistance. From individual acts to mass rebellions, African Americans demonstrated their determination to undermine and ultimately eradicate slavery in every state in the nation. Courageous individuals, such as Harriet Tubman, Richard Allen and Frederick Douglass, played a crucial role in forcing the issue of slavery to the forefront of national politics, helping to create the momentum that would eventually bring the country to war.
