Tuesday December 7th

Today went by so slowly, and history seemed especially long. I thought it was kind of interesting today, because we were talking about how the slaves escaped. In 6th grade, at 6th grade camp, we played a game called Underground Railroad, where we had to pretend to be runaway slaves. I remember it was super scary, because we never knew who to trust, so I can only imagine how the slaves felt when it was real. Also I  learned that Newburyport was a station for slaves to go and stay, and that chimneys on the houses indicated safe houses. I'll be on the lookout for the chimneys when I drive down that street from now on.
