Now that you are familiar with the cotton gin, the Underground Railroad, and key abolitionists, you will reflect on your learning by answering questions. You will answer each question with a paragraph of complete sentences of your own words. Be sure to mention specific events, people, and terms from the lesson to support your answer.

How did the invention of the cotton gin affect slavery in the United States? (Think about the video we watched on Thursday.)
What was the Underground Railroad? Your response needs to include and explain the terms conductor, lines, station, and freight.
How did men like William Lloyd Garrison, Reverend Lovejoy, and Fredrick Douglass participate in the abolitionist movement?
