The “Bates Shop”: Fishing for Primary Source Documents: Periodizing the Past, Part 1
By David Bates
Document: Column
Introductory Paragraph: This column discusses the importance of periodization—the act of placing historical events in a defined period or era. It offers a lengthy analysis of the development of slavery in colonial Jamestown, Virginia, as an example. Doing so offers students the ability to think critically about cause and effect, context, and contingency in sources they read.
