• Does your character believe that the government should have power to tell states what to do? He was outspoken and for most of his life he created a new government that prevented slaves and gave all men equal rights.
• What other person/people does your character believe is most at fault for causing the war? He thinks it’s south because they wanted slaves but north did not.
• Do you like the character you were assigned? Why?  Yes because he tried to stop slavery and slavery was really bad.

How did the experiences of slaves first hand compare to what we have read about in the past? Were our secondary sources accurate to the slave experience? Explain. It was different because at first it was from people who have done research but know is was from the slaves prospective and through    there eyes how it went down and what was going on.

What was one new thing you learned from reading these stories? I learned that a lot of families go in together because I thought is was rare to go with your families but in the stories there was people with there mom, dad, grandma, brothers and sisters.

Did reading these stories from slaves change your perspective? How so? Yes because you could see there story and there stories through there eyes with there families or by themselves.

How do you think that the stories of slaves relates to our essential question of “Why do people move?” ? I think it connects because some people were forced to go and be slaves but some people had to get out of there place because of problems there or needed to go some where for better food, jobs, etc. 

Why did slaves move? Be specific in your answer. They moved because they were either forced to because I pretty sure know one wants to be a slave and work for people and get bet up.
