Welcome to Awesometown! - Introductions 5.22.13




Pull Quote

Slaves who no longer wished to live often found some way to end the suffering. Women twisted their cotton skirts into ropes to hang themselves. Slaves tried to run away, and many didn't make it. They tried to starve themselves by not eating anything, hoping that they would die and it would end.
 - By The Student Encyclopedia of the United States
        Although they both had the same suffering,  house slaves and field slaves were at two different levels when it came to working. Slaves worked and worked a main living. This paper will tell you facts about both house slaves and field slaves.

Frederick Douglas once said, “It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men. The two people who started the KIPP schools definitely believe this. KIPP is one of the strongest school systems in the country. In this paper, I will discuss KIPP’s history, the reasons why it is strong, and some criticisms of the KIPP schools.
