Life Lesson: Some people have to be told that something is wrong to realize it.
Historical Support Paragraph
One major life lesson I pulled from this unit is that some people have to be told that something is wrong to realize that it is. Around 1/3 of Southerners owned slaves (webquest 1).This fact can directly connect with my lessons, because this is something that we find very wrong today. However in that time period, this was considered normal. This might be because it wasn’t viewed as wrong in that time period, or nobody told them it was wrong.

We can't expect people to know there's something wrong with the world if we don't tell them. And if that was what the abolitionist in the 1800s did there might still be slavery
