Slide 6 Click Me Click Me Slide 7 Tobacco and Cotton Plants Tobacco
and cotton was a major crop in the many states in the upper South.
Tobacco and cotton farms required a lot of work which is why it
relied on so many slaves to plant them. Back Slide 8 Slave Cabins
On the southern plantations, a group of slave cabins was usually
set apart from the owners house. Usually in the woods near the
plantation fields. One family typically lived in each small wood
cabin. Most cabins were only one or two rooms with leaky roofs,
drafty walls, and dirt floors. Back Slide 9 Plantation Masters
Plantation owners often hired overseers to manage their slaves in
the fields. A master could whip the slaves for many reasons. Like
-not working -showing up late -running away Men and women, even
children could fall victim to the overseer of punishment. Back
Slide 10 Question 2: Which plant was the major crop in the upper
south? A. Tobacco Plant B. Fern Plant Slide 11 Click Me Slide 12
Stars One way that the runaways slaves found their way was by
looking at the stars. They used the big dipper and Little dipper.
The brightest stars in the night sky, the north star guided
runaways slaves to the north as they escaped from Canada. Back
Slide 13 Rivers and Streams Runaways slaves often traveled by
rivers and streams. Rivers could be safer than roads because the
dogs couldnt track their scent in the rivers. But not all were easy
to cross. Slaves escaping into Ohio or Indianan had to first cross
the mighty Ohio river before reaching freedom. Back Slide 14 Moss
on Trees To find their way, runaways slaves often looked for moss
growing on the tree. Since moss typically grows on the north side
of the tree trunks it served as a compass especially when the north
star was out of sight. Back Slide 15 Question 1: What star
constellation was the most famous for leading the slaves to
freedom? A. The little dipperC. The milky way D. None of the
aboveB. Orion's belt Slide 16 Hooray Your Half way done !! Now lets

stationmaster put candles in their windows to signal that it was
safe to cross the rivers. Slaves crossing the river flowed towards
this light beacon. Station masters often took great risk by helping
runaway slaves. Back Slide 25 Newspapers and Books During the 1800s
people working against slavery spread their message through
newspapers and books. One of the first and the most famous was The
Liberator found in 1831. Back Slide 26 Horse Drawn Carriage
Sometimes conductors used horse drawn carriage to safely carry
slaves between safe houses. The runaway slaves would hide under the
hay, crates, or bags. Some wagons even had secret compartment where
the slaves would hide Back Slide 27 Q5: What did you think some of
the hardest things about being a slave? Back Slide 28 Click Me
Slide 29 Churches and Schools Even in the north blacks faced
intense discrimination. They were often discouraged from
worshipping and working in the same places as whites. Blacks
started their own schools, business and churches. But despite their
efforts they still werent citizens until 1866. Back Slide 30
Industrialization By 1860 industrialization was booming in the
north. More and More factories sprung up in the north cities. Some
factories produced textiles, like cotton, fabric, or yarn. These
industries helped cities grow as more and more people left rural
areas to work in areas where factories were located. Back Slide 31
Rewards When slaves escaped, slave holders put up posters in local
papers. The papers described the slaves appearance and offered
large rewards for their return. Train Schedule In 1860 most of the
railroads in the united states stretched across the northern
states. Trains transported raw material thus helped industries and
northern cities grow rapidly (tying this back into
industrialization) Back Slide 32 Q1: What did it mean to be a
slave? What were some of the basic right slaves didnt have during
