Greetings,\n\nThere are no pictures of the South leaving, because they didn't go anywhere.\n\nThe southern states that formed the confederacy remained where they were, and their inhabitants, for the most part, remained where they were as well.  There was no mass migration, rather an expuslsion of everyone loyal to the Union and a seizure of everything formally belonging to the Union.\n\nThere aren't many photographs of the early part of the Civil War because photography was still in it's infancy.  There are many lithographs of the time though.  Lithographs are an artists interpretation rather than a photo.\n\n-matt

try doing a search on the antebellum south I was researching Mississippi and found barbeque postcards which were postcards of a lynching victim and there were links to archived sites that had actual interviews from slaves. former slaves and witnesses during that era maybe you'll be able to locate some archived financial information as well there was also a link to sites that claimed to record accurate not pop culture history, sorry I don't remember the sites I just remember how I got there

I won't tell you..but I will give you an example to help you draw your own conclusion!\n\nExample 1: Front page of Newspaper Laketime\n\nLead story is about Nor'Easter wollops East Coast\n\nWhat should the PHOTO be ? A Kid playing in a water sprinkler? or  A group of neighbors working together to shovel out an elderly persons walk? \n\nThat is a tame example...lets assume that a paper is liberal based....would they run a great story of a liberal politician with a bad picture of them looking angry? shoving a whole sub in their mouth? picking their nose?

i don't think that's really god in his picture either, but it sure is funny!\n\nyou might use someone else's picture to help protect your anonymity, but then why would you bother to load a picture at all?   maybe people just think you're using the picture you are to create a persona to fit the way you answer questions, or to match your id name.  since we now know that's really you, i'll come right out and say you really 'look like' what i think a free spirit should...\n\nthe black and white is a nice touch...classy!

Maybe if you ask nicely. Meanwhile, if this is a homework problem, I suggest you ask for help in the homework section. Either way, try Google Images: http://www.images.google.com

I'd google it and find a pic. You might be able to set that as the background.

I cannot be responsible for my ancestors' decisions. I can, however, be responsible for myself and make sure that I don't make the same mistakes. Of course, blacks have rights, but they don't have any more right to monetary compensation than the Jewish or Irish who suffered racism in a different context. Slavery is wrong. Period. Sadly, slavery is as old as history itself, but that should only mean that we should always fight against it.

I am from the South, and I have ancestors who fought under that flag (some lost their lives and everything they had).  They fought for what they believed in, wrong as they were.  I feel that the subject is very complex.  I personally feel that it represents history, stagnation, prejudice, pride, shame, lots of things (good and bad, depending on who you are and where you come from).  It doesn't represent just prejudice or just pride.  For me, it's prejudice, shame and history.  I think it belongs in a museum, not displayed on a public building, for historical purposes.  Since it does bring about bad feelings for a lot of people, it has become a symbol of hate, but should be allowed to be displayed by private citizens on private property because we live in a free society.  And all that it represents should not be forgotten, lest it's history be repeated.  A good number of people who take pride in that flag seem to forget that the South lost the war, and that the loss was a good thing.  On the other hand, a good number of people who condemn it don't understand the significance of history and its preservation, or the other issues that were involved in the war.  It's definitely a gray answer, not black and white.

It began after the First Continental Congress?  LMAO..  Research it, using wikipedia, the encyclopedia and other sources.  Then report as if you are a star chasing paparazzi, clamoring to view Washington's newest girl, Franklin's bling bling and Jefferson's mixed kids....have fun with it.

Slaves are one of the reasons I'm thinking.

See, I am in Third Grade and I love writing about the history of people that have helped me and my family see my dad was born into slavery and he also escaped to the North with Harriet Tubman. Sorry to get off track but here is a part of my report from my studies I learned that Harriet Tubman first escaped to the north by her self then she realized that if she only helped herself she would be selfish and so she made nineteen trips to the south and helped over three hundred people escape from slavery. Again sorry for getting off track but she was against slavery because she said that we should not be judged by the color of our skin and that it is very unfair for white people to own black people.My dad got some slave laws and here they are. \n\n                          Slave Laws\n1. No one was allowed to teach slaves how to read or write nor were they to be given books or pamphlets.\n\n2. Slaves were not allowed to buy or consume liquor without the written consent of their masters.\n\n3. Slave owners were required to feed and clothe their slaves and take care of their sick and elderly slaves. Failure to do so could result in a fine to the master.\n\n4. Slaves were not allowed to preach, except to their masters' slaves on their own plantation and in presence of white people.\n\n5. Any child who had one free parent and one slave parent was only free if the mother was the free parent.\n\n6. Slaves could not conduct business without a permit or own any personal prperty.\n\n7. Slaves were not allowed to own or have their possession weapons of any kind.\n\n8. The testimony of slaves in court was disallowed  exept in those cases involving other slaves.\n\n9. It was illegal to mistreat or kill a slave unless the slave resisted punishment.\n\n10. SLaves were not allowed to strike white men or to insult them in any way.\n\n11. Slaves were never allowed to enter into any kind of legal binding contract, including contracts of marriage.\n\n12. A slave who traveled away from his own plantation  had to have a pass to show as a means of identification to any white man who challenged him.\n\n13. Slaves were not allowed to swear, smoke or walk with a cane in public.\n\n14. Slaves had to step aside when whites passed them on a public street.\n\n15. It was illegal for mare than five slaves to gather together away from their own homes unless in the presence of white people.\n\n16. Slaves were not allowed to own their own animals, nor could they grow their own cotton; however, theey could  have thier own gardens if thier masters allowed.\n\n17. It was illegal for a master to work his slave in the field on Sundays exept as punishment or unless he paid them for their work.\n\nI hope all the above information helps you an your school project.
