14. Slavery
“There was never a moment in our history when slavery wasn’t a sleeping serpent. It lay coiled up under the table during the deliberations of the Constitutional Convention. Owing to the Cotton Gin, it was more than half awake. Thereafter, slavery was on everyone’s mind, though not always on his tongue.” ---John J Chapman

20. Let’s put it all together!
Bring your current placard to the tape line on the floor. This line represents the spectrum of opinions from very pro-slavery to very anti- slavery.

On one side of the line write “totally supports slavery,” on the other side write “totally against slavery.” Place each historical figure where he/she would fall on the line. Write their names and a one sentence explanation for their placement.
