Chains

The book Chains was not too bad of an idea. The book was so sad when I first started to read it. I started to cry when the younger sister, Ruth, was going to be given away to the highest bidder. The older sister, Isabel, got into a bad place at the wrong time. She was getting mad at the people who was using the older sibling, Corson, as their slave. They even put Isabel in jail and also stopped her from seeing the people in the jail. That was a much harder punishment for that beautiful young lady. She also started telling lies and instead of trying to tell the whole truth. She watched the people who started the entire thing. This is my book I like to read during the summer.

Trail of Tears



The Indian Removal Act of 1830 was signed by Andrew Jackson to have all of the Indians removed to the land west of the Mississippi River. The act was harsh and it was bad. The land was hard on the Native American’s feet and also the bad climate. Some of the Native Americans didn’t even have shoes on their feet. The settlers needed the land that the Indians use to live on. Many of the Native Americans died of hunger, bad climate, and from being sick and made to walk along time.
