The+Life+of+a+Slave

For this project, we will be examining what it was like to live as a slave in the American South. This project has three parts:
 * An in-depth description of 2 of the following- Food and Clothing, The Slave Market, The Underground Railroad, and Religious Life. Please present your description as either a posterboard or a PowerPoint
 * 5 Journal entries that tell a story of life as a slave, written in 1st person
 * A brief description of the arguments for and against slavery
