Hello Readers!
I feel helpful today so I'm writing this glossary in case you are having a hard time reading this project. If you are stuck with some words, look for it in this post to check out their definitions! This would help you understand the slavery after the Civil War better. I hope this helps!
Civil War: (Noun) A fight between the same country
I inserted this word in the glossary because it was one of the words that came up the most. Also, I didn't know what it meant before this project. I thought it was a name for a certain war that happened in United States. This is an important word since it is the main word for my topic.
former slaves: (Noun) people who are not slaves anymore
Former slave is one of the words in my glossary because I realized that I didn't know the specific meaning of it and I was using it in the few posts. If I didn't know it, I thought some other people wouldn't know it too. This word is important since it is what the slaves after the Civil War were called.
freedom: (Noun) state of being free: no control over
I know that most people would know what freedom meant, but I just wanted to tell the meaning of it since this word came up a lot in this blog and there might be at least one or two people still not knowing what this means. This word influenced the slaves.
Import: (Verb) to bring something into a country from abroad.
I included this word into my glossary because I didn't know this word before. I wanted the readers to know what it means too, in case they don't know already. This was the way the Americans got the slaves.
reconstruction: (Noun) time period when the U.S rebuilt the union after the Civil War
Reconstruction was one of the words that I knew, but not the one from the history in United States, so I decided to put it in the glossary. This period of time is the main setting in this blog.
sharecropper: (Noun) farmer who shares the crop with the land's owner
Sharecropper was one of the topics I used for a genre. I thought it would be helpful to give the simplest definition I can so here it is.
slaves: (Noun, plural) people who is a property of someone who has someone to control over them
Most people would know what slaves mean. But I thought it would be important to write the definition of it since this blog is all about the slaves. The purpose of reading this blog would be gone. Also, as I was looking through the blog to revise, I noticed that there wasn't a single definition of slaves so I decided that this place would be the best for this word.
