Elizabeth Keckley was born a slave, but later bought her freedom. Even as a free slave she suffered as a black women. She was raped by a white man and was re-enslaved by the same family back in Virginia. Even through all that she still prospered in Washington D.C as a seamstress with her son.
Slaves and the Constitution
Even though the Constitution does not use the words “salves” or “slavery”, they use replacement words. While talking about slaves they say the freemen then refer to the slaves as “All other persons”. The Bill of Rights even says nothing of slavery. Slaves weren’t people, just property.

Bleeding Kansas - http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/aia/part4/4p2952.html
Stephen A. Douglas was running for president and needed more votes from Southerners, so he decided to propose the Nebraska-Kansas Bill. This angered the Northerners and caused them to group up and head to Kansas. The southerners and northerners began to fight over Kansas. John Brown joined the fight, and in the end about 55 people died. The event was called “Bleeding Kansas” because of the fighting. Eventually, a governor named John W. Geary arrived in Kansas to stop the fighting.
Nat Turner’s Rebellion - http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/aia/part3/3p1518.html
Nat Turner was a slave who was considered to be very religious. He left his slave owner and came back 30 days later because he claimed to have seen a vision that told him to go back. Many people would admire him because he was a very religious man, and on August 1831 he led an attack on a town of Jerusalem and killed 55 people in that town. In the end, Nat Turner and many of his followers were executed by the state of Virginia. 200 black people were killed after the rebellion, even if they did not have anything to do with the rebellion.
Slave Ship - http://www.eyewitnesstohistory.com/slaveship.htm
The British prohibited slave trade in 1807. Slave ships would travel across the Atlantic Ocean, carrying over 500 Africans to America to become slaves. Slaves would be bunched together under the deck of the ship for very large periods of time. Many slaves would also die during the passage. They would be given a small amount of water, and would rarely be allowed fresh air. Many slaves would also jump off the ships, to remove themselves from the horrible living conditions. When they arrived at their destination, they would have lost many slaves to illness and lack of water and food.

ReplyDeleteFugative Slaves
The Fugative slave act seemed to be unjust because the slaves a able to reproduce, so the "Stop the slave ships" thing didnt work out. Now the fugatives must make a run into Canada! I also feel that the free states didnt not take ana active role in the act so that made things alittle esier.
