The Great Dismal Swamp was a treacherous route where  insects, snakes, and wild animals lived. Although, freedom seekers didn't care about these things. The Great Dismal Swamp was still a known destination. Freedom seekers chose this rout because it was hard for large groups of people to run after them and capture them. Since the swamp was quite treacherous, white people were often too scared to keep following them into the swamp, allowing them to escape. It was quite often for this to happen, but sometimes specially trained dogs were sent after these slaves if the white people after them were too scared to go further into the swamp. This often lead to these runaways getting captured.

Teens often wanted to be drafted into the war to escape their dull farm life. They kids very obviously were not land owners or slave owners, which is why many of then decided to join the Civil War. Since Id's, social security numbers, or drivers license were not a thing then, it was very easy for these kids to lie about their ages and join the Civil War. There were many ways these kids lied about their ages. Some kids wrote the number eighteen on the bottom of their shoe, or wrote the number eighteen on a piece of paper and put this paper in their shoe. once they did this they could say they were over eighteen to the Recruiters since they were technically standing over the number eighteen.

In 1830, the 25,000 Americans living in Texas had to become Mexican citizens. Once these 25,000 Americans were now Mexican citizens, they had to become catholic. This violated their rights as Americans to have freedom of religion. These Americans now had to follow Mexican law, and when these Americans complained, Mexico closed Texas to further American immigration.

Harriet Tubman was considered a criminal because at the time, to their eyes, slaves escaping was a bad thing. Since she was a black woman who escaped slavery as well as helped other slaves escape, many people may have looked at that and thought it was bad how she was helping these innocent people escape slavery. This caused them to set out a huge reward to anyone who can capture here.

Many women during the time of the Civil War, around 1861, dressed up as men so they can participate in the Civil War. They did this because this gave them the opportunity to become teachers and nurses. Most of the women came from the North or South. After the war, the definition of true women hood was expanded because of what they had done during this time.

Inside the Historic Swamp Refuge for African-American Slaves

The maroons decided to stay in the swamp when the escaped from their masters. They slaves would come to the states with the swamp. Virginia and North Carolina. They would stay their and make there places there. I think they would stay their because it is foggy and they wound't see them, but at the same time, I think they stayed there because it is a swamp. Who would want to live by a swamp? That is why I also think they stayed there.

The majority of the men in the Civil War were younger then 18 and most of the time lied about their age just to go to war because they were sick and tired of working in a farm and living their farm life.
Also black people were paid less no matter how good they did and even if they did more then the white people. They were paid $10 per month and the whites were paid $13 a month. As you can tell they were paid worst just because of their skin color.

Working in the Underground Railroad was tough. They had to be careful and make sure no one was there to hear and take them away. They needed to be quiet as a mouse and had to supply food for everyone that was staying there. They tried to help as many African Americans as they could.

Yes I would but only the women´s rights and the slavery one. I would fight with my heart and soul for both of these. Women did deserve better respect and they still need better respect. They are treated like nobody´s sometimes and that is just very wrong. They are queens and queens need to have rights and opinions. For the slavery one, I would 100% sure protect the African Americans. They need to be heard and I will for sure help them be heard. They both really are amazing.

In the image I see what looks like a women with blond hair (maybe and angle) floating in the air with a white robe and a school book in her had with some wire or string attached to it. I also see white people on horses and wagons and some of them are walking with some type of shovel. I also see Native Americans running.  Lastly I see ox, a bear, trains, a deer, a cabin and the land with hills, grass, land, and the cloudy weather.
Some questions that I have are, who is the lady? Why is she holding a school book? What are the Natives running away from or are the escaping? Why are the animals there? Why are there groups of people in their own bundle? Does the train represent something? I have more but that is it.
Based on what I see, I think that this is suppose to show freedom, what they do all day, and  peace at the same time. I say this because some white people are doing their own things and the Native Americans also look like they are doing their own things and if you look closely in the picture, you can see what looks like a tribe dancing or celebrating. The trains maybe are transporting goods from different countries and the ships may be doing that also. The ox running may show freedom and the people doing their own things show peace. The trains and boats show what they do in their everyday life.
A title for this photo would be, ''Around the World'' I put this because it looks like everyone is doing their own things and a lot of things are happening in the picture to be honest.
