The Last Ferry

The Lauren Rogers Museum is located in Laurel, Mississippi and was built in 1923. One unique characteristic about this museum is that has the Georgian Revival Style, which means if you were to cut the museum down the middle in equal halves each side would be identical.

Darker needed Tubman to be there for his attack on Harper's Ferry, and she guaranteed him that she would give him assistance from criminals in the zone. John Brown's Raid at Harper's Ferry "was expected to be the primary stage in an intricate

I have, may it please the court, a few words to say. In the first place, I deny everything but what I have all along admitted -- the design on my part to free the slaves. I intended certainly to have made a clean thing of that matter, as I did last winter when I went into Missouri and there took slaves without the snapping of a gun on either side, moved them through the country, and finally left them in Canada. I designed to have done the same thing again on a larger scale. That was what I intended

By the year 1860, the bloodshed that would develop into the Civil War had become inevitable. After being delayed through compromise multiple times, the election of Lincoln as the 16th president proved to be the final straw in the war over sectional conflicts. Since the invention of the cotton gin in the late 18th century by Eli Whitney, The North and South began courses with two opposite trajectories, both economically and socially. Countless events from 1800 to 1860 drove the regions further apart

The Civil War was the bloodiest war fought on American soil. The Civil War was a war against the North and the South. The first shots were fired in 1861 and the last were in 1865. However the three most important events of the Civil War were the Nat Turner’s rebellion, the Fugitive Slave Act and Bleeding Kansas.

When one thinks of individual rights, federalism is not one of the first thoughts that come to mind. In fact federalism played a huge role in the start of individual rights. Along with federalism, judicial review was one of the initial startups of individual rights with Supreme Court cases that will be later mentioned.

These events were the Kansas Nebraska Act of 1854, Bleeding Kansas, Harper’s Ferry Raid, and the Secession of the South from the Union, which created a division between northern and southern states and made the American Civil War inevitable. The event that started the chain reaction of the American Civil War was the Kansas-Nebraska

Many heroes who fought in the war against slavery we do not hear about often. They fought from colonial times to the Emancipation Proclamation. The story of the abolitionists has been told many times, but the leaders of the revolts have been forgotten by history. Nat Turner, in 1831, led the longest slave revolt in history. In 1839, Cinque, a young African captive, led the revolt on one of the slave ship the Amistad. He was defended by John Quincy Adams, former president, before the Supreme Court
