The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Unfortunately, you did not attach "Document 2."
However, trying to help you, we can comment on the following.
The aspects of African American behavior in the British North American colonies during the late 1700s that could be referred to as "Petition of Slaves" can be traced to the petition for freedom expressed by a black slave whose name was Felix in 1773, in Boston, Massachusetts.
The petition was submitted to the government of Massachusetts, In that time, Thomas Hutchinson was the governor.
The historic importance of this petition was that it represented the first time that a black slave wrote a petition to get his liberty and it was submitted to a government instance. In this case the legislature of Massachusetts. After this letter, many more followed.
At first, the US government confined American Indians to reservations. Reservations are designated pieces of lands that were given to American Indian groups. This began under the presidency of Andrew Jackson when he helped to pass the Indian Removal Act. This removed Cherokee members from their homelands in modern day Georgia to reserved pieces of land in modern day Oklahoma.
Next, they encouraged American Indians to assimilate. The American government developed Indian boarding schools where Native American children could be sent to learn more about American culture. This resulted in the destruction of many native cultures, as students were forced to learn English and were often punished for expressing their native language or culture.
Then, they divided up American Indian land into individual plots for family use. This was part of the Dawes Act of 1887, which resulted in land being held by individual families rather than the land being owned communally.
The farmers and herders were the lowest level.
They were in the peasant class along with the slaves.
