biographical or fictional account by a white author (such as John Gabriel
Stedman or Aphra Behn). Explain whether you believe the representations of
slavery in the visual arts (such as William Blakes illustrations, William
Hackwoods cameo, or John Singleton Copleys painting) were more compelling and
