Yesterday in class (11/5/12) we completed Venn diagrams on
the documents about slaves. The documents discussed the lives of different slaves,
one slave had a kind master and mistress while the other suffered several
hardships including mental and physical abuse. After this we completed worksheets
on slavery’s opponents and defenders. The defenders were: John C. Calhoun and
James H. Hammond, and the opponents were: William L. Garrison, Abraham Lincoln,
and Fredrick Douglas.
Today in class (11/6/12) we started off by comparing the
defenders and opponents of slavery. The opponents were all born into poverty,
faced several hardships, and had no official schooling. The defenders were born into wealth, were well
educated, and faced no hardships throughout their lives. Lastly were read about
how the Constitution could be for or against slavery.
My 30 day challenge is to go for a run every night.
