During the war African Americans decided to join the war.Enlisted in the army after the year 1862 in the north.Over 180,000 people served in the war.They made up 10% of the Union Army by the end of the war.All this African American that served did have to face and deal with people Discriminating them while they were serving.They were also getting payed less than white troops and obviously this was obvious because people were racist against people of color and to them white people were superior.They Segregated troops with white officers.

As we know women have always been treated as less than men.The same was happening the the civil war women were treated very poorly and were treated as if they didn't matter because they thought that with men they could do anything.Women didn't have rights nor freedom and that can be shown through the civil war 400 women had to disguise themselves as men to participate in the union .Women Increasingly too over some jobs in factories and farms as all the men left to go to war.This war that happened left opportunities for a lot of women to become teachers and nurses. Professions that were dominated by men before the war.women till this day don't have the same rights as men and are still treated less but compared to back then we have improved a lot.

The emancipation proclamation happened on January 1st in 1863.This is when Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves that were black people i all the the states that were fighting against the union so since he did that it technically didn't free any slaves but it did do something it changed the objective of the war.The war was now changed to preserve the union and end slavery.This also kept the Britain from helping south so they wouldn't' fight to help people enslaved.The proclamation made it possible for the African Americans are able to join the the union army.

Who had better weapons weapons and why?!North vs South?!

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the north had  way better weapons and there are very specific reasons to my opinion.Firstly the weapons for south were Ironclads and that was it but the north had Rifles and deadly canons overall the weapons on the north were way better and stronger but that is mainly because they had a very big advantage that was that on there turf and were the north was all the  weapons and different things were made so all the new and improved things were on the north side so they had them so that means the north got new weapons and they worked better.On the other hand it was not the same for the south they did not have new weapons there were older and weren't as high tech and worked as good as the ones for the north.So overall the north beat the south in having better weapons!

Who had the better strategy the North Vs South?!

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion the north had a better strategy than the south because firstly is was way more detailed and you could tell there was more thought into it than the south did.The one the south's strategy was a little to simple and i felt like they thought that they didn't have to put a lot of effort into there plan because they thought they would win but the north took pro cation.The north included different possibilities and made actual damage not like the south that there plan was just to defend until the north got tired and did not take pro cation on what could happen plus the north have better weapons so they didn't think of that So overall I think the north had a better well thought out strategy.

Bare Foot Escape on The Underground Rail Road  

# data[].attributes.body
I see how people had a very rough time especially black people.Through this books and stories I see how people had to suffer and had to fight for there lives no matter what I get a better understanding from this book how life was for black people or slaves.Something I found very impressive and interesting is how they have symbols or things that show how a place from slaves or black people like having a quilt hanging or putting a lantern in a specific window I found that amazing and How they could communicate through those actions.I can also infer that the kid in the story was scared and suffered a lot at a young age because he had to make sure to hide from people trying to catch him and all the wild animals like mosquito's trying to bite him and having the struggle of finding food and staying hydrated.

The civil war affected kids in many different ways and it was both races white ad black.They would contribute to fighting in the war. This kids would there life of the line and were be brave and fill spots for missing brothers and fathers.For other slaves children the war did bring a heavier workload.Young slaves were forced into fields at much younger age.When some kids really wanted to be in the war or help if they were underage they would lie about there age and would go in people couldn't really know if it was true or not because they were not id's or nothing like that.

The question is "If you were alive at this time would you have gotten involved in a reform movement?Why or Why not?I personally feel like I would of definitely been involved at least in one.But there's a slight chance I'd say no because I have family and I don't want anything to happen to them.If I had a chance to get involved in at least one it would of definitely would of been for women's rights because I myself is a women and I know how much other women are suffering.I want to be able to have my freedom and rights.I would not give up without a fight because I am not going to let my freedom and rights get taken away from em because of my gender because I am a women and not a man or male.I would definitely also do it because I had my mother and my two sisters I wouldn't just fight for my rights as a women but for my 2 sisters and mother women's rights.

Women's had very little rights they were treated poorly Men had most of the rights and treated like kings.Some Right that women did not have was they were not able to vote for anything there right to vote was taken away. Women could not attend Collage there privilege and right to be able to go to collage and get a education was taken from them!They also could not serve on juries or to enter professions such as medicine or law.Many women try to change this and tried to fight for there rights and freedom to be return to them.To this day there's a lot going against women like getting body shamed men or other people telling them what to do.Women have always and I think will continue to be treated poorly and be thought as low compared to men!

Child labor was a big thing back then and something that companies and corporations took advantage of. This labor that came from children was a form of cheap labor meaning that these kids were being exploited and paid very little for all their hard work. Child labor was also very dangerous as it caused a lot of harm to the kids both physically and mentally. This all made it very difficult for kids to have a normal childhood and because of child labor kids couldn't go to school or there education was limited because they were to hung up on having to do child labor.

During these time obviously people did not have the things we did like new phones or nice microwaves but They tried to do the best they could with all they had.They made some inventions like sewing machines or stoves.I think these inventions that for them were brand new and amazing were very helpful with a lot of things and I think would make life better.I think they made life better because firstly they would make life easier and would everything would go smoother and quicker.They would help with survival and with necessities they need like making warm clothes for the cold and food for everyone to eat and could warm up the food too.I just think it would make life easier and just not as rough and stressful.

Why would people risk it all and head west?

# data[].attributes.body
The reason I think people risked everything and head west was for them and their families to have a better life and future.If I was in this situation I think I would of moved to because even tho it would be tough journey It would all pay off if we really tried.I would be able to get a better job,better things for me and my families health,more money,there's more land.I would also be able to get my hands on more necessities I need not just for me but for my children or family too.Me and my family would also get more food and that would mean we would be feed well and we would be more strong and healthy!

There is a lot of differences obviously the united states would not be as big as it is now and would not have a lot of land.Mexico would be a lot bigger and have a lot more land.The United States would also not have as many states.66% of what is the united states right now would be mexico.The states that would be mexico's and not the united states are Texas,New mexico,California,Utah,Nevada,Arizona,Colorado that is a whole of 7 states that were taken from mexico.Mexico is way smaller now compare to how it used to be.

To walk the oregon trail it would take about 4 to six months.It was a very long journey and a very dangerous one too.Emigrants feared death from a lot of different causes on the trail like lack of food and water,indian attacks also accidents or some rattlesnakes bites were a problem too but the number one killer were diseases.The most dangerous disease were those spread around by poor sanitary conditions and personal contact.They would also have to deal with weather and it was very hard since they were riding on wagons.
