The wind blows from the South today, so wouldn't advise passengers to take the train here for a few weeks, the weather wouldn't be good for sightseeing.

Information from them is that there are going to be even more bundles of wood than normal loaded on to a train on this specific railroad on its next stop. Lately, the biggest story being talked about is the story of Moses, nobody ever talks about anything else so it is harder to hear about good agents now with all the gossip. Though there were plenty of shepherds wandering about surprisingly. Advice of the day, get a load of potatoes, for they are a wonderful food that can be bought for a cheap price and is very filling, and go forwarding for a while, traveling to other places and such.

Spiritual Title: Steal Away to Jesus

Lyrics: “In the midnight hour

When you need some power

When your heart is heavy

Steal away, steal away home

I haven't got long to stay here.”

What does it mean?

It means that the person singing this has planned to run away soon.

Who would most likely sing this and why?

The slaves would most likely to sing this because they are the people that are being forced to do things they don’t want to do.

3 hidden messages:

Run away at midnight

Someone is going to run away

They’re going to find freedom

Frederick Douglas is saying the struggle may be both a physical and moral fight for freedom, but it is needed to take from those in power. The ones in power will always order for something in return and it will never change.

Frederick Douglas is saying children are less complicated, simple, straightforward, and more effortless to teach to become strong, than a shattered man who can not move forward, which will take more energy to fix.

This video taught me that most slaves that started a slave rebellion were captured and hanged. Other slaves involved in the rebellion didn't always get to run away, some of them also get caught and gets punished.

This video taught me that during the 1840's slaves were treated as property instead as equal human. They lived in terrible conditions and their master would beat them to make them work. If they had a family most of the time they would be separated and cannot see them.
