What did I learn from watching the Ken Burnʼs Civil War video?


Here is what I learned from watching the video:

- America lost 2% of its population in the Civil War.
-During that time slaves were treated like dogs.
- Any slave that tried to escape would have gotten severe punishment.
- Some slaves managed to get free which was because of the Nat Turner Rebellion.
- A rebellion led by Net Turner which helped some slaves get free.
- The cotton industry had involved during that time.
-Some famous names like Hariet Tubman wanted slavery to be unexecptable in Washigton.
- Hariet Tubman helped hundreds of slaves out through secret passages underground after saving herself.

  1. You have some information but you need to refer back to your book to make your notes really cover the material.
