Yesterday in class (11/15/12) we made decisions congress had
to make about Mexican territory. We were given handouts which gave us basic
information and decisions we could make. After deciding what we wanted to
choose we voted. Most of our class decided on "popular sovereignty"
with slavery in new territories. Congress didn’t end up agreeing on anything
until the Compromise of 1850.
Today in class (11/16/12) we viewed and discussed a painting
of fugitive slaves. After this we started to read a chapter in “Eliza’s Escape”
of Uncle Tom’s Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe. This story is about a fugitive
slave named Eliza who escapes with her young daughter.
My 30 day challenge is still progressing greatly; I am still
jogging every night.
