We started talking about our message post assignment from last night..-I went first & talked about how the Europeans are NOT the ones who invited slavery..-Went over how Christopher Columbus did find America, but he's really not as good of a guy as most people think. He was for slaves, etc.-Toady talked about Ferdenall Madgelian (sp?) & him going around the world...world is round!-Sidney talked about Christopher Columbus sailing for Spain in 1492. He was Italian. Had 3 ships, the Nina, Pinta and the Santa Maria.-Jordan shared that the diseases from the Europeans killed the Native Americans because they werent used to them. They also stole their land..-Shawn's topic was the good things & pros of the Europeans & Native Americans... they traded, etc.-Chantal did hers about why the Europeans came over, and one reason was because they lost their jobs and debt problems.-Tony talked about how they came over with the land bridge 12,000 years ago. This had to do with the iceage.-Kendra talked about Sacajoweea and how she was captured and at age 13 she was wanted as a wife. She then helped out with the Lewis Clark trip.-Zach also talked about Ferdenan Magelian!-Megan did hers over the Trail of Tears & Charokee indians. The Trail of Tears was when the indians were forced to leave their homes and go to Oklahoma. 4000-8000 Native Americans died on the trail.We are now going to watch America, the Story of Us!
