For this blog post, I picked to review the websites The Geography of Slavery in Virginia and Freedom On the Move. Both of these websites display where slaves went when they ran away from their masters and plantations, lets focus on The Geography of Slavery in […]

The two websites that I decided to compare were, The Geography of slavery in Virginia website and the Freedom On the Move website.  The very first thing I noticed when viewing these sites was the massive difference in aesthetics of the website.  The aesthetics of […]

I picked Group D to review. I will start with the first website.  My first impression opening it up was that it was simple and not too confusing.  There were three paragraphs to read, any more might have been too much, so it was a […]

I choose the two websites labeled under the C section of the class page; Frederick Douglass National Historic site. Frederick Douglass was born into slavery and after escape became a prominent activist and a leader of the abolitionist movement. The first website which I examined […]
