The Last Ferry

Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave Journal: Today, I began my day like usual, working on the plantation. I was born a slave. All I knew was my grandma since my parents had to work long hard days and the plantation owners did not want families to be together. We were both black and she, too, never knew her parents.

From the memories on the drive down to Florida to the memories we make while we are there. I remember the very first time I went, you can ride a ferry boat to get to Disney.

too long and we must make plans together with the ever growing Hixon Family. A ferry ride might even be in order. I was in Seattle last summer where two ferries from the Chesapeake fleet had found new homes unfortunately for me they both stopped operating a few years ago. I still took a ride on one because I felt like it was on the list of things you must do in Seattle behind Starbucks and the Space Needle. I last saw the Hixon’s in October when they drove down for the Assateague Island camping

With the advancement in irrigation technology by French engineers and the increase in the popularity of sugar, the French colony of Saint Domingue became one of the worlds largest sugar producers. With sugar came problems for the many enslaved Africans that were forced to provide manual labor for the colony's sugar harvesting efforts. Oppression, violence, inequality (of a caste-like system), and many other hardships led to hard feelings between the Africans and their white masters, the French. (Talk

he was killed because of it. John Brown was seen as a terrorist to some because of the fact that he was the man who had orchestrated a raid in which he ended up killing five men in Kentucky and had he captured the armory at Harper’s Ferry, Virginia (now Harpers Ferry, West Virginia), he probably would have gone on a killing rampage of more Southern white slave- owners and in turn caused more fear and hatred from the slave-owners onto himself.

miles of Lake Michigan and Lake Huron was to take a boat ride from one side to the other.

The only way to cross the lake was by means of a ferry service, which was unable to keep up with consumer demand. Michigan residents were unable to get convenient and frequent transport between the peninsulas. They needed a consistent, fast, and safe way to travel freely from the mainland to the

“John Brown: Freedom Fighter or Terrorist?” By modern day standards John Brown’s actions at Pottawatomie Creek and Harper’s Ferry may appear to be acts of terrorism, but taking a closer look reveals his actions to be those of a Freedom Fighter. Brown had many instances in his life that causes reflection upon this statement. For example, his childhood had an impact on him to help start something great. With this idea in mind, it led to his start of abolishing slavery. John Brown’s childhood had quite
