What have been the most interesting historic resources or artifacts that you have come across in your research in the Industrialization Newspaper? What makes them stand out to you?
This book called "Loss of the Sultana and remnances of it's survivors
If possible, post the actual resource as an image or video in your blog entry.
What have been the most interesting stories that you have found in your research in the Industrialization Newspaper project?
The whole story of the sultana is interesting how it docked in Vicksburg to get one of it's boilers fixed, and how 1,965 Union soldiers who had just been released from rebel prisons got on board over crowding the boat, and how after it sank people blamed the boiler being improperly fixed, but investigators found the boiler in good condition in the wrecakge.
What new opinions or ideas have you developed as you processed these stories and artifacts?
A new Idea I learned from one reading is that the disaster could have been sabotage and someone could have sank the sultana on purpose to kill the union soldiers

If you lived in the late 1700's in colonial America, what specific part of the colonies would you most like to live? Try to be as specific as you can in the town, city, etc.
Raleigh, North Carolina
Why would you want to live there? What would your life likely be like? Who would you interact with and what would you do on a day-to-day basis? What would make you want to be there, in that specific town, city, area, etc?
I would want to live in Raliegh because it was the only major city in north carolina
at the time. They also had parks back then and that was the place where people could hang out safely and share the news. They had a lot of agriculture in indigo, and tabacco so I feel I would be doing feild work on a plantation.
And the opposite question...
If you lived in the late 1700's in colonial America, what specific part of the colonies would you least like to live? Try to be as specific as you can in the town, city, etc.
I wouldn't want to live in the New England colonies.
Why would you not want to live there? What would your life likely be like? Who would you interact with and what would you do on a day-to-day basis? What would make you not want to be there?
I wounldn't want to live there because it was run by the puritans so I feel like everything would be very strict.

Think of the type of internship that you had. If you lived in the late 1700's in colonial America, how would this career exist? What would this job be like? Who would have it? What technology would he or she us? Where (geographically) would this job or career exist?
There wouldn't be an institute for conservation research because there wasn't a real need for conservation.

What stands out to you most about the historical readings this semester? Why?
What stands out to me is that it's a lot of information I didn't know before because I had never read the constitution, and heard about what happened when christopher columbus got to america.
