Read This Blog About 13 Colonies

This map was made to represent the thirteen colonies. It shows not only when the colonies were founded but also the main crops and trade in that region. The regions that are shaded are the general farming which encompasses most of the colonies and is shaded in orange. Another large crop is tobacco which is shaded in purple. And finally another large crop in the colonies is rice and indigo which is in green. There are many labels on the map to indicate many key trades in the colonies ranging from ship supplies to whaling to rum! We also wrote an overview paragraph about things we indentified in the map.

My video is number 5 Ways to End Modern Day Slavery: How to Help
Matt,Ciara,Natalie,Travis. The other videos also relate to slavery going on today.

This PSA was basically a call for help from people in slavery. You may not know but slavery is happening to this day in larger numbers then it did before. The video talks about the staggering size of how many people are involved in slavery. But the video mostly talks about how we as a nation and community need to band together and put an end to slavery. If one person knows about it in a town they can start fundraisers and clubs to help earn money and spread the word about slavery. There are many organizations that are trying to prevent and find out who is involved in slavery. Donate or join their cause so they can solve who is involved in slavery. Also they can bring it up to their city counsel, mayor, and everyone that can help. Hopefully we can make everyone join in. People that have lots of power may say they are working on stopping slavery but not much is happening. We need to put our foot down on slavery once and for all.
