I've gathered quite a bit of information and have quite a number of sources that center on the Black Seminoles and the Civil War. The bibliography pages of most of the books and articles I've collected have provided more information than I'll ever use in this essay, but I'll definitely archive my findings for future use. I am presently sifting through all of this to make my argument as strong as possible with supporting references.
As is always the case, I am not completely clear on what I really want to say, or my point doesn't begin to take shape until I start putting pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard, as it were). I find outlines confining, an exercise in frustration, and I have great difficulty in generating them. Consequently, I'm still struggling with that portion of this assignment. I'm starting to realize that I may want to argue less for the significance of the story of the Black Seminoles and leaning more towards showing how inaccuracy and exclusion of their and other African-American contribution to American history discourse is a disservice to American democracy.
