What i learned in this excerpt was that the men could easily buy their kids back. could be a free slave unless seen on the wrong side of the country and be recaptured. i also learned that a slave being property, can hold no property. it made me upset that slaves yet could not have property, also known as children. the thought of slavery makes my blood boil. back then all people should have been treated the same way. it shouldn't matter the color of your skin is. the thought of those mothers and fathers as slaves could not have property makes me sad. when i think about slavery i think that they should have been able to stand up for themselves.

the reform movements that arose during the antebellum period in america focused on specific issues: temperance, abolishing imprisonment for debt, pacifism, antislavery, abolishing capital punishment, amelioration of prison conditions (with prison's purpose reconceived as rehabilitation rather than punishment), the humane treatment of animals, the humane and just treatment of native americans, the establishment of public institutions for the care of the destitute, orphans, blind, and mentally ill, the establishment of public schools, the abolition of tobacco use, vegetarianism, health reform, homeopathic medicine, woman's rights (including, at first, especially the establishment of a woman's right to own property apart from her husband and her right to sue for divorce), and the amelioration of labor conditions (including higher pay, the right to form unions, the right to strike, and the demand for limits on the number of work hours, and safe working conditions).
