These animals include beaver, river otter, white-tailed deer, black bear, and moose. Though alongside this wolves, foxes, coyotes, bobcats, lynxes, raccoons, muskrats, and martens were also common animals to be trapped and killed for their fur by fur trappers. These animals were caught using traps such as wire snares, foot-holds, leg-holds, and most frequently the steel-jaw traps.]]> 2021-03-18 19:15:41 UTC https://padlet.com/johannabrod02/gbh7r4cn5kaam89w/wish/1327265655 What people brought on the Oregon Trail johannabrod02 https://padlet.com/johannabrod02/gbh7r4cn5kaam89w/wish/1365574640 People who were going to be traveling on the Oregon Trail had brought alot with them, mostly things that they would need to survive. This included tons of food, supplies used for hunting, items for farming, and other essential things. More specifically, they brought food that would be able to last during the trip, though as I mentioned before they also brought things to hunt if they needed too. ]]> 2021-03-29 19:34:22 UTC https://padlet.com/johannabrod02/gbh7r4cn5kaam89w/wish/1365574640 Santa Anna held a funereal for his amputated leg johannabrod02 https://padlet.com/johannabrod02/gbh7r4cn5kaam89w/wish/1373196325 When researching how Santa Anna died, I cam across this fact. After being severely wounded, Santa Anna's leg had to be amputated, which he had buried. When he returned to power in 1842, he exhumed his leg, brought it to Mexico City in an ornate coach, and buried it under a cemetery monument during a state funereal! This funereal was quite elaborate, with- as specifically said in the article- cannon salvos, poetry, and lofty orations.]]> 2021-03-31 19:39:55 UTC https://padlet.com/johannabrod02/gbh7r4cn5kaam89w/wish/1373196325 All the mistakes that doomed the Donner Party johannabrod02 https://padlet.com/johannabrod02/gbh7r4cn5kaam89w/wish/1376531340 Here's a video I found by Weird History on the things that doomed the Donner party. It goes over things such as a flooded river, the desert, and an early snowstorm in their way and causing problems for them, alongside how they ended up having to eat some of the people that had been traveling with them. The video also includes several other things that proved to be an issue or the Donner Party. If you are interested, I recommend watching the video:]]> 2021-04-01 19:16:48 UTC https://padlet.com/johannabrod02/gbh7r4cn5kaam89w/wish/1376531340 Pros and Cons of the Industrial Revolution johannabrod02 https://padlet.com/johannabrod02/gbh7r4cn5kaam89w/wish/1393098161 While there were many pros of the Industrial Revolution, there was also many cons. It brought more job opportunities, inspired innovation, increased production levels, and several other things. Though, it also resulted in harsher working conditions, an increase in the need for slaves, and many more not-so-great things.]]> 2021-04-07 19:30:37 UTC https://padlet.com/johannabrod02/gbh7r4cn5kaam89w/wish/1393098161 Morse code johannabrod02 https://padlet.com/johannabrod02/gbh7r4cn5kaam89w/wish/1393121211 Morse code is practically a whole language in it's self, being a way to take messages, turn it into a series of beeps and pauses(dots and dashes when written out), and electronically send it to others. This was something that came around during the industrial revolution. Alongside this, there are several morse code  translators available to use that can be found online, if you ever wish to play around with one and see what certain messages would be in morse code.

Though, it was also very rewarding. Being caught could end up very badly, and you were basically risking your life by "working" in the Underground Railroad.Though, it was of course, very rewarding- like I had said. This is because you got to aid in the freeing of slaves.]]> 2021-04-21 19:26:27 UTC https://padlet.com/johannabrod02/gbh7r4cn5kaam89w/wish/1444272010 Which of the 5 causes did I think was the biggest cause of the Civil War? johannabrod02 https://padlet.com/johannabrod02/gbh7r4cn5kaam89w/wish/1466056479 2021-04-27 19:09:01 UTC https://padlet.com/johannabrod02/gbh7r4cn5kaam89w/wish/1466056479 Would your decision to escape be influenced by the Dred Scott Case? johannabrod02 https://padlet.com/johannabrod02/gbh7r4cn5kaam89w/wish/1466094308 Yes, my decision would definitely be influenced by it, making me more cautious about it. That would be because of the effects my escape may have on my family, and many other  things.]]> 2021-04-27 19:17:30 UTC https://padlet.com/johannabrod02/gbh7r4cn5kaam89w/wish/1466094308 If I was alive at this time, would I join a reform movement? Why? johannabrod02 https://padlet.com/johannabrod02/gbh7r4cn5kaam89w/wish/1479531204 I probably would, though it would depend on what I was risking. It could be quite risky to join one, though even then I would probably join, because I would know what I would be fighting for was right.]]> 2021-04-30 18:30:46 UTC https://padlet.com/johannabrod02/gbh7r4cn5kaam89w/wish/1479531204 The North's Benefits johannabrod02 https://padlet.com/johannabrod02/gbh7r4cn5kaam89w/wish/1518843948 The North had a lot of things compared to the south that would be useful to them in the war. This included their large population, quicker access to new things, and better weapons. Though they also had many more benefits. Yet, even then, the war took some time before it ended.]]> 2021-05-12 18:56:20 UTC https://padlet.com/johannabrod02/gbh7r4cn5kaam89w/wish/1518843948 Ironclads johannabrod02 https://padlet.com/johannabrod02/gbh7r4cn5kaam89w/wish/1518891354 Ironclads were big iron-coated warships used in the Civil War. They were made with the intent of being protected from enemy attacks with their iron covering. These ships had multiple different names, which included rams, iron gophers, iron elephants, iron coffins, turtle-backs, and mud-crushers.]]> 2021-05-12 19:09:43 UTC https://padlet.com/johannabrod02/gbh7r4cn5kaam89w/wish/1518891354 Battle of the Ironclads johannabrod02 https://padlet.com/johannabrod02/gbh7r4cn5kaam89w/wish/1518918700 There was a battle, which is often referred to as the Battle of Hampton Roads, which took place between two ironclads. The two ships were called the Monitor and Merrimak, The battle had lasted for hours, though in the end neither of the ships could sink the other, and they both ended up leaving the battle, neither side really winning.]]> 2021-05-12 19:17:34 UTC https://padlet.com/johannabrod02/gbh7r4cn5kaam89w/wish/1518918700 Barefoot johannabrod02 https://padlet.com/johannabrod02/gbh7r4cn5kaam89w/wish/1518963203 Barefoot was a book we had read in class, which was about a slave in the underground railroad. The book made it seem like the animals were aiding them, I thought it was pretty interesting how the book was written like that, though I like that it was done like that.]]> 2021-05-12 19:30:49 UTC https://padlet.com/johannabrod02/gbh7r4cn5kaam89w/wish/1518963203 The Battle of Bull Run johannabrod02 https://padlet.com/johannabrod02/gbh7r4cn5kaam89w/wish/1532859066 The Battle of Bull Run was the first battle of the Civil War. It took place on 7/21/1861, at Manassas, Virginia. During this battle, both sides had underestimated each other! The north retreated, and the south was too tired to pursue them. Though, there were also some spectators of this battle!]]> 2021-05-17 19:22:35 UTC https://padlet.com/johannabrod02/gbh7r4cn5kaam89w/wish/1532859066 The Battle of Antietam johannabrod02 https://padlet.com/johannabrod02/gbh7r4cn5kaam89w/wish/1532912496 This battle that took place at Sharpsburg, Maryland on 9/17/1862 is considered the bloodiest day of the war. The casualties were 12,000 Union and 14,000 Confederates. The Battle of Antietam had no clear winner. It is considered a political victory for the north, though.

Some disguised themselves and fought, while others took on the roles of nurses, and also took over jobs. A famous nurse during this was Clara Barton, who had her own wagon and went to the battlefield to tend to wounded soldiers. She did this without permission, yet she was so successful that she ended up being authorized her to be on the battlefield to tend to the wounded.]]> 2021-05-18 18:59:52 UTC https://padlet.com/johannabrod02/gbh7r4cn5kaam89w/wish/1537143095 The Battle of Vicksburg johannabrod02 https://padlet.com/johannabrod02/gbh7r4cn5kaam89w/wish/1537198209 The battle of Vicksburg, also known as the siege of Vicksburg, was the last major battle of the Civil War. It began on May 18th, 1863, and continued on through June. The confederates surrendered on July 4th, 1863. Lincoln had said that "Vicksburg was the key, the war can never be brought to a close until that key is in our pocket"]]> 2021-05-18 19:14:56 UTC https://padlet.com/johannabrod02/gbh7r4cn5kaam89w/wish/1537198209
