6 Any unique or unusual qualities?
Yes It is very intersting to me beacause it was dividing and giving ground rules to the treaty for example;
Acknowledging the 13 colonies to be free, sovereign and independent States, and that the British Crown and all heirs and successors relinquish claims to the Government, propriety, and territorial rights of the same, and every part thereof;[2]
Establishing the boundaries between the United States and British North America (for an account of two strange anomalies resulting from this part of the Treaty, based on inaccuracies in the Mitchell Map—see Northwest Angle and the Republic of Indian Stream);
Granting fishing rights to United States fishermen in the Grand Banks, off the coast of Newfoundland and in the Gulf of Saint Lawrence;
Recognizing the lawful contracted debts to be paid to creditors on either side;
The Congress of the Confederation will "earnestly recommend" to state legislatures to recognize the rightful owners of all confiscated lands "provide for the restitution of all estates, rights, and properties, which have been confiscated belonging to real British subjects [Loyalists]";
United States will prevent future confiscations of the property of Loyalists;
Prisoners of war on both sides are to be released and all property left by the British army in the United States unmolested (including slaves);
Great Britain and the United States were each to be given perpetual access to the Mississippi River;
Territories captured by Americans subsequent to treaty will be returned without compensation;

Primary Source Interpretation
1.) Read and discuss the primary source, examining the who,what,when where, and why.
-The who are the people in the colonies
-the what is the rights of those people
-the when is during the Revolutionary War and fight for Independence
-the why is because the people needed to break free from the rule pf the king and be independent
2.) Write a summary about the document. Explain the main ideas about the primary source.
The 13th amendment is about abolishing slavery and that nobody can be forced to work involuntarily. The 14th amendment is about the rights of becoming a citizen and how anybody born in the jurisdiction of the United States is a citizen.The 15th amendment is about the rights of people to vote and that race, color, and previously being a slave cannot effect voting rights. These where three of the many very important amendments made during this time.
3.) Examine an interesting quotation or sentence and justify why you selected it.
" Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."
I think this is interesting because it says that you can still have involuntary servitude as a punishment for crime of people who are duly convicted. - 13th amendment
4.) Write a question you would like to ask about this primary source. You may ask a question to the author, event, or character in the primary source.
Why would involuntary servitude still be an option for people who committed crime? - 13th amendment
5.)Write your reaction or opinion about this document.
In my opinion these three amendments are a start to independence and rights of the people.

No
7.)Who was the author, speaker, or creator of the source?
Thomas Jefferson was the main writer
