Class Summary 11.13.12

Last Friday, we spent the class discussing the Underground Railroad. We started by reading segments of different newspaper articles discussing the topic. Overall, the Underground Railroad was said to have been less successful then it is portrayed to be. A common definition for the Underground Railroad, is that it was organized by abolitionists and it was a series of safe houses and stations that aided runaway slaves in their escape from the south to the north (usually Canada). Conductors were mostly black, but some were white. Harriet Tubman was frequently highlighted as one of the main "conductors" of the railroad. In conclusion, it was described as a somewhat effective method, that aided runaway slaves escape to the north. Today, we went to the lab in the library and worked on the computers to form a basis knowledge base of the Missouri compromise and the nullification process. In regards to my 30-day challenge, I have recently squired my own positivity coach, Tritons own, Camille Milhalikic. I am finding that positivity does go a long way but is challenge to break my ways.
