Do we benefit from slavery today, as the North did in the 1800s?

Created by

This is a powerful lesson for students to see a modern connection to the past.Before this lesson, you should discuss with students how the North was complicit in slavery as much as the South was in the years prior to the Civil War. Northerners profited greatly off the backs of slave labor, whether they would have wanted to admit it or not. This lesson poses the question: Do we profit from slavery today?It uses multi-media clips about Nike and Apple as well as a song called "Are My Hands Clean"

This Land is Your Land Sing-Along

Created by

Emily Blinn

This was always one of my favorite patriotic songs when I was younger. I think even as a kid I had a preference for upbeat folk music and this song definitely fits the bill Originally written and recorded by Woody Guthrie in 1940, the story behind this song is that Guthrie was tired of hearing "God Bless America", calling it complacent and unrealistic all the time and wrote his own song based off of "God Bless America", altering the lyrics and using the gospel tune to "Oh My Loving Brother".
