Yesterday, November 5th, we compared the slave narratives from Friday and learned about the main opponents and defenders. Most of the slaves were treated very poorly, with cruel beatings and poor living conditions, though some had kind masters or mistresses. Some defenders of slavery were John C. Calhoun and James H. Hammond. Some defenders of slavery were William L. Garrison, Abraham Lincoln, and Frederick Douglass.
Today, November 6th, we had a fake voting sesssion and we read about how the Constitution could be seen as pro-slavery or anti-slavery.
I will learn a new word every day for 30 days.
