Entry Number 1:The Underground Railroad.
June 18,1832: ==Since our home was in Ohio the underground rail road ran through our state. So that presuaded us to become quakers. Harriet Tubman and six other slaves stayed at our house for over four days. This was because everyone was turning them down from coming to stay over night with them. We risked our lives for them, but thats the type of things good people do.== I feel that the undergaound rail road was a good thing that happened. Because everyone deserves to be free. Many quakers and Harriet Tubam risked their lives to save un-freed slaves. MAny people got out this way too. It must have been a very good blessing. I am so blessed that i didn't have to live back then. Those were really hard times.



Entry Number 2:Angelina & Sarah Grimke'.
==These are my two wonderful sisters. Sarah converted me and my other sister to the quaker faith. Then,in 1835 Angelina became an abolilionist, So she converted Sarah and I to this. We bacame the first women who dared to speak in public for the black slave and then for women's right. On a visit to Philadelphia, Sarah joined the Society of Friends. We moved to the north permantly,Not long after that. We were even helpers of the underground railroad. Angelina Married Theodpre Dwight Weld,which was also an aboltionist. ill health after she got married le dher to abandon the leture platform, but she continued to stand behind her husband with what he did. She was born in 1805 and died in 1879. Sarah was born in 1792 and died in 1975.== ==Sarah and Angelina were very brave sisters, and indivisuals. I feel without them the change would have not came as fast as it did. I'm also glad that it did though. Sarah was responsible for becoming abolilonist and Angelia for them becoming Quakers, So i thank both of them for doing this.==

Entry Number 3:Abraham Lincoln
==He was born on Febuary 12, 1809. Lincoln spoke against slavery,but he believed southern states had the right to maintain their current system. He critized the extreme policies of the american anti-slavery society. For 20 years lincoln practied law in springfield. He thought slavery was an evil morally,and that it threatned the Union. He married Mary Tood in 1842, but was known to be unhappy. So not on later he divorced her. On April 14, lincoln was shot at a theater, and died the next morning.Which means his death was on April 15,1865. I feel like Abraham Lincoln was a very respectable man, but no one ever brings up that he he really wasn't against slavery. He just wrote the Gettysburg address many other reasons than that. I think Lincoln was a very good president though. He also won the presidental vote with over 1 thousand votes, 14 of the states were freed ones.==
