For example, you could write about their personalities, interests, and maybe even a favorite hobby. Pick the name of someone and click the plus button underneath. For the subject, give a title to your story. Then, write approximately 4-5 sentences in the text box.

Minerva was a hard worker, while also being well-liked on the field by her associates. Minerva was always positive and well kept with herself despite being a slave. She also had a daughter that was 7 years old, her daughter was named Faith. Her daughter did not work in the field, but her daughter did watch as her mother worked.  It pained Minerva to know that her daughter watched as she worked such a horrible job and had no choice.  Knowing that Faith knew such things gave Minerva all the motivation she needed to want to be free. ]]> 2022-04-19 13:48:48 UTC https://padlet.com/josephsullivan5/o8obws32blmkc1lr/wish/2148615029 Joseph Fossett was born on July 29, 1821.

She was 4 years old when she was taken from her mother and sold to another owner.
When she was older she worked as a house slave for Thomas Jefferson. She was a hard working slave and made such that she never caused trouble. One day while cleaning the floor she spilled the water and it got on the carpet. A slave saw it and went to tell the master. As Elizabeth was trying to clean up the mess, she was hit in the back of her head. When she turned around she saw the master, she tried to explain what happened but he didn't care. She was taken to the basement and was beaten so badly that she forgot her own name. After that Elizabeth was injured badly and she could barely work. When she was healed she continued to work as a house slave till she grew old. ]]> 2022-04-19 14:34:20 UTC https://padlet.com/josephsullivan5/o8obws32blmkc1lr/wish/2148693061 Minerva (Field Worker) https://padlet.com/josephsullivan5/o8obws32blmkc1lr/wish/2150346475 Minerva was a field worker and she had a seven year old child named Faith.

But the way we speak to each other is different we start humming songs as a code. Also we would braid rice in each other's hair to know who is going to escape that day or sometime later on. But my life as a field worker was hard I would get whipped for making mistakes. And if you disobey one of the masters you would be put in the chamber of fire and many people had to deal with that and I did not want to be next. But it was hard for other slaves to lose their children because they would be sold at auctions. Also they would be hard very badly because if they disagree with the master they will either be killed or whipped. But when you would try to escape they would find you and put a manacle around your neck and if you make any sudden movement if would crack your neck.]]> 2022-04-20 13:30:38 UTC https://padlet.com/josephsullivan5/o8obws32blmkc1lr/wish/2150346478 The Origin of Robert Hughes https://padlet.com/josephsullivan5/o8obws32blmkc1lr/wish/2150346793 Robert Hughes was born on May 23, 1821.
