In the video i learned about how they treated the slaves in the south. When they were sold, they took no regards on sending them with ther family members to keep them united. The owners of the slaves treated them like objects just because they were black. They hit them and made their lives miserable. I also learned about the underground railroad which was what took them to Canada. When they arrived to Canada they were free and the slave bounties could not take them back. However if they found them in a free state in the north they had could bring them back.
In the north however since slavery was abolished they were unaware of the misery happening in the south. A man wroe a book called uncle tom's cabin and explained everything. Of course the people from the south did not like this book and wrote books that were opposite of his.The video also talked about the civil war and how much damage it caused since it was when guns got created.
