Slave auctions were traumatic experiences for slaves. Families were often separated and slaves were forced to undergo inspections and examinations from potential buyers. According to historian Eugene D. Genovese, prime field hands could sell for $1,800, skilled blacksmiths for $2,500, and young light-skinned women for up to $5,000, though most slaves sold for between $100-900, equivalent to around $30,000 today. Songs communicated coded messages to slaves about escaping, such as "Follow the Drinking Gourd," which contained directions about routes and signals along the Underground Railroad to guide their journey to freedom.

The Underground Railroad
The Underground Railroad was a network that helped slaves escape to freedom between 1793 and 1860. It operated like a railroad, with conductors guiding passengers (slaves) and stations (safe houses) along the route. Famous conductors included Harriet Tubman, who made 13 trips and helped 72 slaves reach freedom. The Underground Railroad was not literally underground but referred to keeping the operation secret from those seeking to return escaped slaves to bondage under harsh fugitive slave laws.

Canada's Underground Railroad Connection
This document discusses the Underground Railroad which helped slaves escape to freedom in Canada. It provides details on conductors like Harriet Tubman and Laura Haviland who led slaves north. Songs and codes helped slaves communicate and navigate their journey. Destinations in Canada like Wilberforce provided refuge where blacks were legally free. The stricter Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 made helping slaves even more dangerous but also more vital to reach Canada's freedom. Quilts and other objects sometimes left coded messages to guide slaves north on the Underground Railroad.
American dream week 3
The document provides an overview of the historical exclusion and marginalization of Native Americans in the United States. It discusses how Native Americans were displaced from their lands through broken treaties, forced relocation on the Trail of Tears, and the Dawes Act which cut Native American land holdings in half. Conflicts over land with European settlers and the U.S. government resulted in significant losses of Native American territory and culture through the 19th century. Boarding schools sought to assimilate Native youth by prohibiting indigenous language and culture. Literature from Zitkala-Sa and Sherman Alexie portray the mixing but also challenges of navigating between Native and white societies. The document raises questions about ongoing exclusion of Native Americans from the American Dream

The Underground Railroad
The underground railroad was a network that helped around 100,000 escaped slaves reach freedom between 1810 and 1850 by providing shelter and routes northward. Escaping enslaved people would first have to get away from their plantations, sometimes with the aid of station masters disguised as slaves. The underground railroad relied on stations like barns and basements to hide runaways. John Fairfield, Levi Coffin, and Harriet Tubman were notable figures who risked capture to assist runaways despite the dangers.
Slavery and Triangular Trade notes.ppt
The document summarizes the triangular trade network that was central to the Atlantic slave trade between Africa, Europe, and the Americas. It describes the three legs of the triangular route: 1) Ships left Europe for Africa with goods and weapons to obtain slaves through attacks, debts or wars. 2) The middle passage involved transporting enslaved Africans in horrific conditions across the Atlantic to the Americas. 3) Ships then returned to Europe from the Americas loaded with raw goods to manufacture and sell. This network systematically exploited humans for profit through the dehumanizing capture and transport of millions of Africans.
Frederick Douglass, He Tell Us of His Life as a Slave in His Autobiography
Frederick Douglass, He Tell Us of His Life as a Slave in His AutobiographyReflections on Morality, Philosophy, and History
Frederick Douglass was born a slave in Maryland in the late 1820’s, he can only guess how old he is, like most slaves he did not know when he was born. Frederick was both a brilliant and a troublesome slave who had many masters before he escaped to freedom in his early twenties. He escaped slavery on his second attempt to run away to the Northern states, and not only did he teach himself how to read; he became a spell-binding orator and abolitionist, agitating for the end of slavery, and becoming a best-selling author, publishing three autobiographies, other books, and a newspaper. Some bigots claimed it was impossible for an ex-slave to be able to write that well, though they could not argue that it was not him making his speeches.
We learn what it was like:
• To be born and grow up as a slave.
• To be a plantation slave, and a city slave.
• For slaves to be denied the chance to learn how to read and write, and be educated.
• For slaves to sleep without beds, with little food and clothing.
• For slave women to be treated as unwilling concubines, and be continually sexually assaulted by their white masters, earning the contempt of their mistress.
• For slaves to be continually whipped by overseers, as encouragement.
• For masters to occasionally murder their slaves, without fear of punishment.
• To live in fear of having your family split apart and be sold in slave auctions, including young children.
Other incidents in his life include:
• How Frederick Douglass broke Master Covey, the slave breaker.
• How Frederick Douglass learned how to read and write, and eventually become a best-selling author and orator.
• His first impressions of New Bedford, Massachusetts, when he escaped slavery, when he was emancipated.
• Why he despised the cruel Christianity of his slave masters, and how it was very un-Christian.

The Longest Memory Background
Slavery was a brutal system that existed in America from 1619 to 1865. Millions of slaves were taken from Africa and forced to work on plantations in the Southern states. Slaves endured horrific conditions, with long work hours, physical punishment, separation of families, and little access to healthcare, education or religious freedom. Though some slaves found ways to resist the dehumanizing system through literacy, faith and escaping, slavery dominated the Southern economy and profoundly shaped American history until the Civil War and Emancipation.
The harlem renaissance
The Harlem Renaissance was a cultural movement in the 1920s where African American artists and writers flourished in Harlem, New York. The document discusses key figures of the Harlem Renaissance like Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, Billie Holiday, and Josephine Baker. It explores how their poetry, music, art, dance, and literature contributed to a new African American cultural identity and sense of self-determination after World War I.
Histories of disability Freakery.pptx
The document discusses the historical prevalence of freak shows, which exhibited people with disabilities or physical differences for entertainment purposes. It describes how freak shows were popular in the Victorian era and traveled between fairs, circuses, and taverns. Several specific individuals displayed in freak shows are discussed, including Chang and Eng the conjoined twins, Saartjie Baartman known as the "Hottentot Venus", and Joseph Merrick known as the "Elephant Man". The rise of the eugenics movement in the late 19th century sought to use science to promote racial purity and standardization. Eugenics supported practices like forced sterilization and institutionalizing those with disabilities.
International humor
1. The document discusses international humor and provides examples of humor translating across cultures. Physical humor from silent films of Chaplin and Keaton had international audiences.
2. Political cartoons also cross international boundaries as they use caricatures and exaggeration to make their points succinctly.
3. Different cultures have their own humorous metaphors and expressions that can seem amusing to outsiders learning the language. The document provides examples from Farsi, Dari, and other languages.
Slavery and Triangular Trade notes.ppt
The Triangular Trade involved three routes between Europe, Africa, and the Americas during the Atlantic Slave Trade. Ships left Europe with goods, traveled to Africa to capture or purchase slaves, transported slaves across the Atlantic to the Americas where they were sold, and returned to Europe with raw materials to complete the cycle. Over 15 million Africans were captured and sold into the slave trade that supported the economies of Europe and the colonies in the Americas until it was abolished in the 19th century.
Edu 290 pwrpt 1
The Underground Railroad was a network that helped slaves escape to freedom before the Civil War. It started in the late 18th century as informal paths and safe houses used by runaway slaves. By the 1830s, abolitionist societies formalized the system using conductors, stations, and disguises to guide fugitives northward. Famous "conductors" like Harriet Tubman led hundreds to freedom despite risks of capture. The Railroad ended when the 13th Amendment formally abolished slavery after the Civil War.

The Underground Railroad was a network that helped slaves escape to freedom between 1800-1865. It started as informal paths and safe houses used by runaway slaves and grew to a system organized by the National Antislavery Society. Escaped slaves were guided along routes to stations operated by conductors and station masters, where they would find food, rest, and disguises before continuing north towards freedom. Famous conductors included Harriet Tubman and Thomas Garrett, who risked arrest to lead hundreds to freedom despite rewards for their capture.
History of English poetry
The document summarizes the history of English poetry from Anglo-Saxon times to the modern period. It covers major periods such as the Anglo-Saxon period which produced anonymous epic poems like Beowulf, the Middle Ages when Geoffrey Chaucer emerged as the father of English poetry, the Elizabethan period known as a golden age with Edmund Spenser as the poet of poets, the 17th century metaphysical poetry of Donne, and the Victorian era when Tennyson, Browning, and Arnold wrote. The modern period questioned traditional values after WWI and pursued symbolism, imagism, and free form poetry.

- 8. The Cost of Slaves According to the author, Eugene D. Genovese, “A prime field hand might sell for about $1,800, and a first-class blacksmith for $2,500, a young attractive light-skinned mullatto woman could go for as much as $5000.” However, most slaves sold for anywhere between $100-$900 A $1500 slave bought in 1850, would cost around $30,000 in today’s money
