=A page from the journal of= = = ==Entry Number 1:THE COMPROMISE 1850: there was a small problem where i was, i didnt know what was going on. I had my 3 year old baby boy on my side. I over heard a couple of farm owners discussing the issue that was going on. They said that Henry Clay whom is now a senator had present a 5-part plan to settle all the issues by dividing congress. But after a while when i was cleaning up the dishes, they then begain talking a about California would be admitted as a free state and New Mexicos Territory having a no restriction on slavery. After that New Mexico-Texas dispute would be settled in the favor of New Mexico. The continueously talked about the slave trade, instead of slavery itself which would be abolished in the district of Columbia. They paused silently as if they heard a steady noise which was the cracks of the wooden floor beneath my feet, creeking as i breath in and out slowly, covering my soaking, soapy, wet hads over my sons mouth before he began to sneeze. THey began talking again about the final dission Clay had made about the force he used for a stronger fugative slave law. But i pray everyday that god sends me guidence to a better home and more money for my child, I lost my husband Arkees Armstrong 2 years ago right before my father took my first son and sold him to another family. My husband was a strong man who wanted to provide more for his family. He refused to have our children to live poorly. He was shot a killed because he was stilling other farmers cotton because his boss refused to give him extra hours...he was only getting paid 3 cents and hour and he worked 13 hours out of that day and only made 2 dallars and 50 cents a day.==

==Entry Number 2:THE DEBATE: I was on my way to deliver a message for my boss to 1 of his business men right before i went to wash his laundry. I couldnt help but notice all the signs in the yard talking about the debate that Henry Clay was having later on that day. I couldnt read that well i just noticed the pictures of his face posted on the posters. I then knocked on the thick, fancy, wooden white door still focusing on the pictures. He then open the door and asked"how may i help you", with a pleasently smile upon his powdered, wrinkly face. I began to studder before my words, forgeting the reason i came. He then asked me if i was here for the laundry. I then said hesitently with a yes sir. I began to ask him about the lively posters that was in his yard. It was exacly what i expected,"THE DEBATE".==
