These are very common subjects. You may consider doing research or checking class notes. For lack of that,\nthere was a big burst of industry after the civil war. Things became more advanced. More people moved to the United States and of course, emancipation of slaves had a great effect on the diversity of the population. Maybe these facts can help you to understand what sort of development you're looking for?\n\nSorry I couldn't be more helpful!

I don't know who TuMis is but Tunis Campbell (1812-1891)was the highest-ranking and most influential African American politician in nineteenth-century Georgia. He was an abolitionist who moved to the Sea Islands off the coast of Georgia to help freed people in the work of Reconstruction. Is this what you're looking for?

If your a former Sailor (or any military) I strongly suggest you join  www.military.com . It's the best way by far, to get in touch with people you may have served with during your service. I have found a few and can't tell you how much I enjoyed reminiscing about old times.\n\nI served on board both the USS Mount Vernon and the USS Racine as part of a Marine Corps force.

In the years immediately following the Civil War, the railroad was king. And if the railroad was king, its prince was the conductor. The engineer might have gotten to sit up front, blow the whistle and drive the train. But he couldn't move that train one inch until the conductor told him to.\n\nJoe Baldwin had always wanted to be a conductor. One day, he finally realized his lifelong dream when he was hired to be a conductor on the Wilmington & Manchester line. The W&M stretched from the coastal town of Wilmington, North Carolina westward to Columbia, South Carolina, then down to Charleston - a town that Joe loved never tired of visiting. The beautiful homes, the water, and huge helpings of fried chicken and sweet potato pie that his friends cooked for him - it made his mouth water just thinking about it.\n\nJoe would appear at work every morning, smartly turned out in his clean, pressed black pants, starched white shirt, black leather vest and expertly-tied bow tie. On top of his head was the conductor's hat, with a medallion on the front that glistened like gold in the sunlight and read "Conductor." He always carried his lantern with him, along with a ticket punch and, of course, his railroad watch. For it was with that watch that Joe made his train run on time.\n\nJoe took very good care of his trains. Several times during a run, Joe would walk from one end of the train to the other checking everything he could think of. He would check the wheels to see if foreign objects from the tracks were stuck up in them. He would check the boxcars to make sure they were properly locked. He would make sure that the passengers had everything then needed, and that there was always enough oil for the lamps so they wouldn't burn out at night.\n\n\n\nOne stormy night, as they were traveling through the swampy woods near Maco, North Carolina (a few miles west of Wilmington), Joe was back in the caboose resting. He had just completed his rounds, and wanted to take a short break before they reached South Carolina. Dreams of Charleston danced in his head as the clickety-clack of the train wheels lulled him to sleep.\n\nSuddenly, the train started slowing down, and Joe instinctively woke up in a flash. Joe immediately got worried, for he knew it wasn't time for a stop yet. He jumped up, ran to the front of the caboose, opened up the door and stepped out for the next coach.\n\nBut there was no next coach!\nJoe was horrified to see that the caboose he was riding in had somehow become uncoupled from the rest of the train. Somewhere in the distant darkness, the rest of his beloved train had left him behind.\n\nJoe knew he was in trouble, because right behind his train, he knew that a fast freight would soon be approaching. Joe ran out onto the rear landing and peered through the rain and fog, trying desperately to spot the train. Before long, way off in the distance, he saw a pinpoint of light, and he knew it had to be the freight train behind him. As the light got bigger, he could almost hear the wheels of the freight chugging toward him, louder and louder.\n\n\n\nJoe grabbed his lantern and started waving it frantically from side to side, hollering, "Hey! Stop! Hey!" He knew the freight engineer couldn't hear him, but he screamed anyway, waving his lantern wilder and wilder.\n\nThe freight light grew bigger and bigger, and Joe heard the whooshing sound of the air brakes, then the sound of the freight locomotive going into reverse, its wheels spinning on the track. He saw the sparks flying off either side of the track like some surreal fireworks display.\n\nThat was the last thing Joe Baldwin ever saw. For the freight smashed into his caboose with a deafening crash, splintering it into a million pieces.\n\nThen there was silence on the tracks, save for the steam hissing from the freight train. The only light was from Joe Baldwin's lantern, which had been thrown deep into the dark swamp and continued to bu

Here is a picture of his wife (first link).\nHe had 5 children and this is the info I found on them....(info found on second site)\n\nMartha Johnson Patterson (picture found on 3rd site listed)\n\nShe was born October 25, 1828 and she died on July 10, 1901. Martha was another presidential daughter to serve as a White House hostess in place of an invalid or reluctant mother. She transformed the executive mansion into the grand elegance it enjoys to this day. It was a remarkable accomplishment considering it happened simultaneously with the impeachment of her father and a bitter relationship with Congress. \n\nCharles Johnson (can't find pic)\n\nHe was born February 19, 1830 and he died on April 4, 1863. Charles studied medicine and co-owned a pharmacy. He soon plunged into severe alcoholism. He fought for the Union army and died at thirty-three in a horse accident. \n\nMary Johnson Stover Brown (gravestone found in 4th site, no pic)\nShe was born May 8, 1832 and she died on April 19, 1883. Mary served with her sister as White House hostess during her father's administration. Her first husband, Daniel Stover, was a Civil War hero for the Union. They had three children. She was soon estranged from her second husband but postponed divorce until her father died.. \n\nRobert Johnson (gravestone found in 4th site, no pic)\n\nHe was born February 22, 1834. He died on April 22, 1869, most likely a suicide. Robert became a colonel in the Union army, beloved by his men. Sadly after the war his drinking problem escalate. He served briefly as a secretary to his father in the White House where he caused a scandal when prostitutes were allegedly seen leaving his office. He never married. \n\nAndrew Johnson, Jr. (gravestone found in 4th site, no pic)\n\nHe was born August 6, 1852 and he died March 12, 1879. After seeing his parents suffer over the alcoholism of his older brothers, Andy promised his parents that he would never touch liquor. He married Bessie May Kumbaugh and tried to launch his own newspaper. But it was seen by critics as a propaganda piece for his father and soon failed. He died a youthful 26, a few years after the death of his parents. \n\n\nGood Luck, I hope this helps!!!

I believe the question was for legislative information, as opposed to current statutes and regulations.  You can find that at:\n\nhttp://thomas.loc.gov/

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\nSlave 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. E-mail me and tell me if this info works or not. My e-mail address is a-maknojia@sbcglobal.net.

Overall it is extremely well done, but if your not satisfied with it, try looking at it from the way i rephrased it.\n\n“I had crossed the line. I was free; but there was no one to welcome me to the land of freedom. I was a stranger in a strange land.” Harriet Tubman, is a great woman whom I admire and respect along with others. Harriet, an African American, found it difficult to muster up courage to do what was right; work in fields, and travel on the “Underground Railroad.”\n\nthis might not be what you are looking for, but i would suggest adding more sentences as you can't really do much with this! Good Luck!

I remember seeing steam locomotives in use as a young child, \nI steered a WWII era US navy Destroyer on a full power run at 17, I am training to be a railroad brakeman and....play bluegrass and folk mandolin.\n\nI know what it is like to experience a full gale off Cape Hattaras in a destroyer.  I also worked as a deckhand on the Lower Mississippi on a towboat in 1974.\n\nMy grandparents on my mother's side had a haunted house and\nI was married in full SCUBA gear under 60 feet of water on a coral reef - in Cozumel. \n\nI also got horribly air sick after doing barrel rolls, Immelmans, Cuban 8s and wingovers in an AT-6 WWII era advanced trainer.\n\nI have no sense of direction and can get lost in my own home town.
