Problem
Simply describe how those outside the typical "White Guy" history of the US differs or parallels the history of 19th century African Americans usually covered in the "grand narrative" version of American history. What you could miss if you did not know about African Americans of the 19th century perspective. Can we understand U.S. American history without those different perspectives? Think about this group outside the traditional narrative and tell how they "fit" into U.S. history.
