Pre-Civil War Websites

In computer lab today, go to these websites to explore and learn. You will be using the information you learn in social studies and in a future writing project. (You should be able to click on the name and go directly to the website.)

After you visit each site, write a summary of what you did and learned there. Reflect on the questions below after visiting all three sites (and write a written response).

Melrose Mansion Plantation

National Geographic Underground Railroad

Pathways to Freedom

Reflection questions: After visiting these websites, how did you feel about slavery? How do you think the issue of slavery changed our society? What about the websites stick out in your mind? Why is it important for us to remember the hardships faced by slaves?
