Assignment #6: Black History Month

Today im am going to talk about the Underground Railroad.The Underground Railroad was chain of secret routes and safe houses used in 19th century by black slaves in the U.S to escape to Canada. The Underground Railroad helped around 30000 people from being slaves for the rest of there lives . The leader of the UnderGround Railroad was Harriet Tubman, she was also a slave. If it wasn't for Harriet Tubman and here followers most of the black people would have still be enslaved and alot of them would have also died. Information about the escaped slaves made there owners really mad so they hierd bounty hunters to catch tem and bring them back the bounty hunters were known as Slave catchers. The websites I used to help me with this are... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Underground_Railroad, and http://www.americaslibrary.gov/cgi-bin/page.cgi/aa/activists/tubman/rail_1

what would canada look like in 2109

Today I am going to talk about our future. I say that Barack Obama is going to play a big role because he was the first black president there will be many other presidents not only in the US but in Canada and hopefully other places as well. But Canada is takeing advantage of its lumber sure we have more then enough but what will hapen if we run out? I say by the time its the year 2109 we will have much more beter tecnoagy so we will be able to recycle bad air to good air. I also predict that we WILL have a PS19 and a XBOX 190345

hi

Hi, today i was I wondering why the first Canadian settlers who came here from Europe didn't go back to France as soon as they saw the rough, long winter. I think they didn't go back because there were rare spices and a other riches. But they also had to stay on a boat for more then a month just to get here so I dont think they would want to experience that again. If it wasn't for the First Nations, even more of the French settlers might have died from scurvy but the First Nations were nice enough to give them the cure to scurvy as well as teaching them to hunt, and snow shoe. I asked my father how his first winter in canada was, he said "it was very cold because i just came from a country where it almost never snows so i had barley any long sleeve sweters so i had to wear the same thing over and over again for the first month" But he also said it was a very fun experience because, it was the first time he saw snow.
