Hey everybody!! Guess what, this blog is not gonna be a blog about science! What you say, well as you know this month is Black History Month, so this is a social Studies blog about the Civil Rights Movement!!
But, my blog is not just about the Civil Rights Movement, I will also talk about how Abraham Lincoln was involved in the Civil Rights Movement! This is really important to me because some of my friends are African-American! And, I would like to give credit to the websites who gave me this information and pictures, so I will have the links at the end of the pictures!
But here is the website for the "Hi!" at the top! So, anyways... ENJOY!! :D :D (http://commentgraphics.multiply.com/photos/album/2584/Glitter_GraphicsText_3)
Civil Rights Movement!
Well, the Civil Rights Movement was when many African- Americans who wanted rights and didn't believe that they were treated they way that they should have been, did peaceful protests by getting in big crowds and hold up signs or screaming out what they want! Some people like Martin Luther King Jr. had gatherings when they would have supporters there to listen to his speeches.

Well, Abraham Lincoln was our president during the Civil War and the Civil Rights Movement! As you know, Mr. Lincoln was the 16th president and his nick-name was " Honest Abe ". But, we aren't talking about his life-story we are gonna talk about how he was involved in this war!

My Opinion: I think that what Abraham Lincoln was so brave, honest, and a great man!! I could never do what he did! I can't believe that he kept our country together and won the Civil War! If it weren't for him, we might be in a different country than the north, you see this was very important! I never new what the Civil War was until now! And now I know it is extremely important, seriously he ended slavery, won the Civil War, kept the country together, and dealt with all the protests and president business He was such a good man!!
HEY! Did I forget something!? Oh yeah! I need to answer 2 questions for you about the 4-8 grade field trip that we went on last Monday! So, the questions are:
What did I learn? What did I like?
Question 1. What did I learn?
Answer: Well, I mostly learned about the Civil War and how slavery was like. We watched a little, short play about a slave owners wife, while she talked about how her slave ran away.
What did I learn? What did I like?
Question 1. What did I learn?
Answer: Well, I mostly learned about the Civil War and how slavery was like. We watched a little, short play about a slave owners wife, while she talked about how her slave ran away.
She told us that she doesn't want her husband to know this because slaves would get whipped if the slave ran away and was found, but she liked her slave and didn't want this to happen to the slave.
We also learned how a solders life was like during the war. Like, we did a game where you got a clip-board and a spinner. Through out the game you could lose or gain life and morale points! The game was based on choices and luck! I ended up being alive and sane!
Question 2. What did I like?
Answer: What I really liked was when we played the game on the solders! Let me explain the game a little more than I did in the last paragraph. So, we got a clip-board that was about a solder, which could have been a Union solder or a Confederate solder, and I got a Union solder. Then it said how much money you had in your pocket, how much morale and life points you had, your reason why you joined the Army and other information about your person. So, like I said I was alive and sane, plus my side won! :D :D :D
So, I guess this is the end of my blog! I hope that you really enjoyed this..... unusual blog and I hope that you will come back to learn more next time!!! Bye! :D :D :D
