Underground Railroad Interactive Websites

As you view these websites in computer lab (or at home), think of the following questions and your responses.

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

You will turn in your written response no later than THURS. 9/23.

Check out these three sites by clicking on their names:
*Pathways to Freedom: Maryland and the Underground Railroad
*The National Geographic Underground Railroad Site
*Melrose Plantation (This site was unavailable but will hopefully be online again soon.)
