A Slave's Journal
Dear Journal,
My name is Ben. Ben the slave. Today was sad for me. I was torn apart from my family at a slave auction. I was sold to an old fat man. As I was being sold off I could hear my mother crying. There were sorrowful wails of slaves being whipped. People were yelling at the sIaves telling them to run, jump,and show off there abilities. The new master's name is Master Grip. It is currently 9:00. Tomorrow I will see how nice of a master my new master is.
The next day the slave was whipped to death.
These are pictures of what a slave plantation might look like.

Dear Mother, December 15, 1862
The battle was a tragic confederate rebel victory. First we had to cross a river, but the rebel scum burned down the bridges! We finally crossed the river a day later and attacked. We lost. they ad 72,000 casualties and we had nearly twice as many as them. I am lucky to survive.
Your son, Ethan.
