Did more blog discussions:Industrial Revolution:-Taylor F. did the women and children of the Revolutionary War: there were no public schools at the time, so many families couldn't afford education. The teacher lecture came from how most people couldn't read or write so they had to listen to people teach. The kids worked for cheaper labor when it came to working and they could get into smaller spaces than adults. Taylor had a story that a 10 year old boy wrote about his hard work week. She also told about how women worked so hard and so much that if they were pregnant, they would be working the day before they had the baby and the day after they had the baby.-Mr. Bruns clarified what Labor Day is all about. Labor Day this year is 2 days after my birthday this year...September 5th...and will be on my birthday next year.-James did his on the creator of the cotton gin and how that made him money and made life easier for others.Civil War and Reconstruction:-Shelby did hers on Abe Lincoln and when he was president and what he did for the civil war-Charlotte did a general overview of the Civil War: showed that the war most likely started from the economy and the not so great way of life. She also talked about how the Civil war had the most people die, not nessecarily from the hand of another soldier. Whether it was battle or sickness, 902,000 people died in the Civil War.Will now watch more of the America movie.
