We have just finished our first detailed lesson on taking effective jot notes and the importance of keeping them organized and focused to support your understanding of new topics. Our lecture on the Southern justifications on Slavery was indepth and interesting.
We will have a Jot Notes Quiz on Tuesday. You will be given a lecture from the civil war and asked to take "notes" for the first 15 minutes. I will collect the notes and evaluate looking for organization, underlining of key points and clear sub catagories.
The topic of that lecture will be John Brown and his role in the Civil War. You can do some research and post findings in the blog to support your understanding of the lecture. It will be helpful to have background knowledge before listening.
So share what you learn about John Brown (make sure you have the right one)

John Brown was an abolisinist meaning he was a freedom fighter for slaves. Some time Browns actions were extreme and some would describe his actions as patriotic treason. He was unlike other northeners because John Brown advocated a violent approach to the abbolition of slavery opposed to a peaceful one. He is also famous for his unsuccesful raid at Harpers ferry.
ReplyDeleteJohn Brown was an abolitionist. He thought that slavery was so terrible that the only way to eliminate it was by violent measures.

ReplyDeletejohn had a variety of different jobs. in 1859 he led a party of 21 men in a successful attack on the federal armory at Harper's Ferry. Brown hoped that his action would encourage slaves to join his rebellion, enabling him to form an emancipation army. Brown and six men defend themselves in an engine-house, and continued to fight until Brown was seriously wounded.
On October 16, 1859, John Brown led 21 men on a raid of the federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry, Virginia. His plan to arm slaves with the weapons he and his men seized from the arsenal was thwarted, however, by local farmers, militiamen, and Marines led by Robert E. Lee. Within 36 hours of the attack, most of Brown's men had been killed or captured.

ReplyDeleteWhat was canada's role in the civil war if there was any, it seems to me that if your neighbour country was in turmoil that something would be done. food for thought.
ReplyDelete1837, brown attended a meeting for a newspaper editor who got killed. At the meeting, Brown raised his hand and vowed that he would destroy slavery.
ReplyDeletein 1859 Brown began to plan an attack on the federal arsenal in the small town of Harpers Ferry, Virginia.they spent the summer secretly stockpiling weapons, as they believed they could arm slaves in the south who would escape to join their cause.
I just found out that at the time of the civil war canada was not a fedarated country. Meaning they were not sepreate from britain. so if canada were to do something Im guessing it would have to go through britain.
ReplyDeleteJohn Brown led the Pottatomie Massacre in 1856 in Bleeding Kansas. (Bleeding Kansas was a series of violent events involving anti-slavery Free-Staters and pro-slavery Border Ruffian elements. If you want to know more, go to http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bleeding_Kansas)

ReplyDeleteCanada's Role
ReplyDeleteCanada, although not a country yet was most influenced by the Civil War and growing unrest in the United States.
Remember Canada had been a safe place for freed slaves, so a southern or Confederate victory in the war was a big Canadian concern.
The Civil War was a critical factor in Canada being formed 2 years later in 1867. Worries and uncertainty about the United States propelled Canada to act and become a Nation. One that would have clear rights and rules of Law to negotiate and show solidarity and strength towards America.
Remember America was expanding...although west it was possible they could expand north if Canada did not become a nation
John Brown was a abolitionist from the U.S.A.Who advocated and practiced armed insurrection,to abolish slavery for good.
ReplyDeletePresident Lincoln said that John was a "misguided fanatic." During the Kansa campiagn he and his supporters killed five pro-slavery.In may 1856 in response to the raid of the "free the soil" city of Lawrence.
