G?day. My name is Samuel Ellan Daniels. But you can just call me Sam. I?m going to take you back and show you a look inside my childhood. I was born in 1919, and times were much different then. We didn?t have phones or ipods back then. I was born into a colored family, and as a baby, I remember my parents talking about the KKK. They were a group of people who hated blacks like me. Apparently we were ?different?. My parents always worried about them, and each night before bed we thanked God for keeping us safe. Apparently the year before I was born, a huge war just got over. Everyone was happy, and had jobs. Even my colored parents both got jobs working for Ford. It was pretty special, and I was proud of them. Imagine both your parents working for Microsoft. Yea, it was neat.

Nick Robinson History vocab Chapters 19-23 1 Compromise 1850 This compromise signed by Millard Fillmore deals with disputed territory, and the controversy of whether California should join. The results were that California joined as a free state, and what was left of the Mexican Cession land became New Mexico and Utah, and did not restrict slavery. The compromise benefited the North more than the South. 2 Fugitive Slave Law A law passed just before the Civil War also called the "Bloodhound Bill", slaves who escaped could not testify in their behalf and were not allowed a trial by jury. If the judge in the case freed the slave they would receive five dollars, if not they would get ten dollars. Those found helping slaves would be fined or jailed. This added to the rage in the North.

Chapter 11 ?'s Tuesday, January 03, 2012 11:50 AM ? the southern way of life for the white southerner is mainly on plantations, where they grow surpluses of food and sell it to other countries and the north. The stable crop, cotton ecomony shaped the southern way of life because it was very prosperous and rich. The south had little to no social oppisition even the "clay eaters" were satisfied b/c they were the dominant race bonded togther by kinsmanship the northe differed in the fact theat there was no dominant race so the classes were harsher. So less brotherly love. There were more slave states so they grew in size but they did not advance in tech.
