Today the 13th amendment was ratified freeing all slaves in the united states and its' territories. I am both surprised and angry. whenever my husband gets home he will certainly be extremely upset therefore i could receive a beating. He beats me whenever he his angry.

Wow! because of the civil war and the absence of my husband. many slaves took the chance of running away. early one morning i woke to find out that more than 45 slaves were missing off my plantation. i quickly summoned my guards and have them beaten and imprisoned until my husband return.

Since my husband was drafted in the war today i am left to manage the plantation until he return. Today is a good day the slaves are working so diligently on the field with little corresponding among themselves. All i will do today is write a letter to see how my dear husdand is during in that drastic war.

Slavery in the South

Slavery was very dominant in the South. Working as slaves was the main reason why they were brought to the united states. Slavery was indeed the main part of life for southern states during the 1840 to 1860. Slave masters held pantations where they would capture slaves while forcing then to work so that the economy of the south would expand.

Andrew Jackson was known to be the hero of common man because he won the first man elected from tennessee to the house of representatives. he also served briefly in the senate. jackson was a major general in the war 1812, he became a national hero when he defeated the british at the new orleans on january 8, 1815. His army also won numerous victories. Andrew Jackson was the key president in determining the future direction of the U.S. and is considered one of the most constructive leaders in America's history. Though many thought that he used democracy to win the people over and use their support for other objectives, I believe that he really looked out for the common people, believed in them, and wanted to make sure that they had all of the rights and privileges that they deserved. Jackson knew that the Second Bank of the United States was too powerful and that it also had become corrupt. He also thought that it was only beneficial to the rich and not the poorer industrialists.
