Answer 30

How does this sound @LadyGinger
Helen O'Neal and many others gave up their lives for the freedom of African Americans. Their deaths did not go to waste because they helped many people, it may have taken a long time for people to understand African-Americans weren’t meant for slavery.

Answer 31

Answer 32

WAS

Answer 33

AWESOME

Answer 34

you go girl!!! I am so proud of you for pulling that off!!!!

Answer 35

I added another sentence ..
Helen O'Neal and many others gave up their lives for the freedom of African Americans. Their deaths did not go to waste because they helped many people, it may have taken a long time for people to understand African-Americans weren’t meant for slavery. Just because someone wasn’t from here or doesn’t look like you means that they have to be a slave? now hat doesn’t sound right.
should i ask a question in the letter or leave it out?

Answer 36

like i can change that question and just leave it as a sentence

Answer 37

well change it to this; Just because someone wasn’t born and raised where you were and doesn’t look like you means that they have to be a slave!
