examine the impact of free black communities in the North and the South on the freedom movements during the ante bellum period. Interpret the manner in which free black people maneuvered in a world where their status as “free” was tenuous at best, especially for those black communities that thrived in the South. Next, illustrate the manner in which these free black communities operated in terms of family and social organizations and connected the inhabitants back to their West African roots.

Look up the speedy trial guidelines for Virginia. Based on that information, how long can a trial be put off? Do you believe this is reasonable or justified? Post your Mini-Paper in the Assignments section.

Answer the BOLD questions. I’m looking for the span of time after arrest in which the State must begin trial. Include a link or cite to the page you found your state information on (the cite doesn’t count toward the one-page minimum). Those of you outside the US can use your home state, or a US state of your choice. Make sure to identify the state you are using.
