Today, November 19th, we talked about the Fugitive Slave Act, Uncle Tom's Cabin, and Frederick Douglass' Fourth of July Speech. We also talked about how fair doesn't always mean equal, and vice versa. The Fugitive Slave Act punished everyone evenly for helping slaves, though it wasn't fair. Frederick Douglass was upset that the Americans celebrated the Fourth of July when there was still slavery.
According to the worksheets (since I won't be in class tomorrow), on November 20th, we will talk about the Kansas Nebraska Act, "Bleeding Kansas", and a murder in the Senate over slavery.
